🌿 LEONARDO

” He is already looking like a Married man ” Pierre said and everyone burst out laughing .

” What’s bad about that ? I asked teasingly .

” I didn’t think lee would get married before I do , he used to be scared of women ” Vincenzo teased and the guys burst out laughing.

” you’re the only one who doesn’t have plans of getting married ,I’m married ” Erduardo said and they burst out laughing.

The teasing continued for sometime before mom knocked on the door .

” Come in ” I said smiling as she stepped into my room .

She looked absolutely gorgeous in her royal blue dress .

” Figlio” she said Sweetly.

” Madre ” I muttered under my breath and she walked into my arms in a hug .

The guys gave nods and decided to give us time to talk as they all used the exit .

” I’m glad you and Imani are gonna tie the knot today . It has been my biggest wish to watch you get married” she said and hugged me.

” Be a good man , husband and father Leonardo” she said emotionally and I gave a nod , understanding her inner turmoil.

She might act like she hates my dad Sebastiano, but deep down she still loves him .

He lost it all when he let go of mom for the mafia . She wiped the tears in her eyes and hugged me .

” Can I come in ” we heard his voice and that was the last person I was expecting to see .

My Dad at the door ,with both hands tucked in the pocket of his smart formal pants .

” Good morning Padre ” I said and he gave a nod .

” Dear ” he called mom , who walked passed him without saying a word .

” I thought you wouldn’t make it to the wedding ” I said and he walked over to where I stood .

” You will only get married once leonardo ,one doesn’t know the day ,he or she will meet his or her end . I should be here , saving the memories of my life ” he said and I gave a nod .

” You make me wonder Leon ” he said and I raised my eyebrows at him making him chuckle.

” What it feels like to not hurt people , what it feels like to stay with the one you love .

What it feels like to have true companionship ” he said and pinched the bridge of his nose .

” Padre ” I called softly.

” I won’t stay till the end of the wedding . Leonardo ,” he called softly.

” Padre ” I said under my breath.

” Try your best to make things work .admit your wrongs and reright them . Don’t let your love marriage hit the rocks ” he said and did some odd reasons the words sticked .

” Let’s get going ,we do not want to be late for your wedding” he said as he made his way to the door .

” Padre ” I called and he stopped.

I rushed into his arms and hugged him emotionally.

The hurt , pain , anger and betrayal I felt back then ,cameout that moment.

He might not be the best father in the world. But he cares , and for the first time in my life I felt it.

We moved to the Church were the wedding profession began .

I was nervous and my hands were already sweaty .

Mom smiled at me from the congregation
and I relaxed a bit .

Imani came in , and as her dad walked her to the alter ,my heart skipped a beat .

It’s like I fell inlove with her all over again .

My mind travel through all our memories together ,her clumsiness when we first met .

” Sweet baby Jesus ”

” Is this a tiktok trend ? This is definitely a tiktok trend ”

” I can’t be your fake girlfriend sir ”

” I love you Leon ”

I sent my fingers to my eyes as my eyes stung with tears .

She looked really emotional too ,by the time she got to where I stood patiently.

I extended an hand to her as we made our way to the priest .

The crowd cheered excitedly .

“Today we have gathered here to witness the joining together of two souls …” The priest began the sermon.

Our eyes met and she bit her lower lip to control her tears .

Our wedding was not a full Spanish culture wedding , we had it modernized here and there .

” You may now exchange your vows ” the priest said with a smile on his face .

” Imani ” I said softly as I stared into her beautiful eyes which held a life time promise of togetherness.

” My safe haven ,my peace….the love of my life . The woman that completes me . Today in presence of God and these people ,I promise to support you ,to listen to you with an open heart .I promise to be your partner in growth . I promise to love and understand you . Today I give you my heart and life ,and to be by your side till death do us part .” I said and put the wedding band on her fingers .

The crowd cheered excitedly as she sniffed back tears .

” Sweet ” she called in between her tears .my eyes stung with tears immediately I heard her shaky voice .

” I ….” She opened her mouth to talk and tears gushed out of her eyes .

” It’s okay mi amor” I whispered while rubbing her arms .

” I always thought it will be difficult to find someone ,who could understand me ,my craziness and my temper … and the fact that I had a lot of insecurities ..as to why I shouldn’t date . But you proved me wrong leonardo …you are the sweetest gift God gave me .

” In this journey of life ,I promise you true companionship. The road might not be easy ,but together we will ride . I promise to laugh with you and cry with you. I promise to understand your anger and sadness ,I promise to grow with you as we walk this journey from beginning to the end .” She said and tears rolled out of my eyes as she wore me the ring .

” I love you lee ” she muttered under her breath.

” I love you sweetheart”

” You may now kiss the bride ” the priest said and the crowd cheered excitedly as our lips met in a mind-blowing kiss .

” Kiss ”

“Kiss”

“Kiss” the crowd chant in unison .

” You may now kiss the groom ” the priest said and imani Laughed against my lips as we kissed .

Happiness true happiness is all I felt at this moment . I don’t know what life has in store for us or what the future might hold ,but I have Imani ,we have our baby on the way what more can I ask from life .

I have my own family and that’s all that matters .

My eyes moved over to the crowd then back in the eyes of my lover .

” Ssshhhh just kiss me again ” she whispered softly and I chuckled against her lips as we shared another kiss .
