In the afternoon, Estrella Berrocal sat in her room, greeting wave after wave of guests with a smile on her face.
He had made it to the wedding reception in the evening and wanted to end the day quickly and go home with Adán Rouco to rest.
The wedding reception, which was held on the lawn of the Banyan Tree, was entirely western and had a very romantic feel to it.
But there was a big problem outdoors, the lawn was especially full of mosquitoes in summer and Estrella Berrocal felt several bites on her arms.
In the evening, the master of ceremonies and guests partied some more with the bride and groom and it wasn’t until almost ten o’clock that the wedding reception was really over.
Back at La familia Rouco, Adán Rouco let the two children share the car with Montrelle Herran and Claudio Belles, while in the wedding car, besides the driver, only Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal were in the back seat.
The world has finally cleared.
Tired from a long day.
Estrella Berrocal leaned on Adán Rouco’s arms, eyes closed, and asked, “Are those guests going to La familia Rouco at night to continue the mess?”
“It has collapsed.”
Estrella Berrocal let out a long sigh: “I’ll be very tired if I go back”.
He raised his hand and rubbed his face, saying, “I’ve been smiling all day and my face is stiff.”
Adán Rouco put his arm around her, kissed her forehead and said in a deep voice: “Go home and rest”.
Estrella Berrocal let out an “ahhh” and wrapped her arms around him tightly, her whole body falling more and more into his arms.
When he arrived at the Rouco family mansion, the woman he was carrying was already asleep.
Without waking her, Adán Rouco got out of the car and drove her straight to the villa.
Estrella Berrocal woke up in a large bed in her home.
The sound of running water can be heard from the bathroom as Adán Rouco showers.
Estrella Berrocal looked at her bedroom, decorated like a double bedroom, previously all gray and black with cold tones, and suddenly it became red and bright, which must have been the work of Mr. Rouco and Mrs. Vasconcellos.
And on this big bed, the sheets and bed and pillow covers have been changed to a big festive red color, and the bed is covered with peanuts and cinnamon and red dates.
In the window of his room was a wedding sign.
All is calm and happy.
Estrella Berrocal loosened her sore shoulders, got out of bed and sat in front of the dressing table mirror ready to remove her make-up, the bridal make-up she had applied today was heavy and thicker than usual, and it was uncomfortable after a busy day.
Just as he was about to unload, the bathroom door opened and Adán Rouco emerged with only a bath towel around his waist.
But after seeing him so many times, Estrella Berrocal has gotten used to it and no longer looks at his bare chest as before. Shyness is natural, but it can be overcome.
The tall man, who was really tall, came up behind her, wrapped his long arms around her whole body from behind, looked at the little woman’s face in the dressing mirror and said, “How are you going to spend your wedding night?”
Estrella Berrocal didn’t even think about it and blurted out: “Sleep, of course”.
“Are you sure?”
The man’s playful eyes fixed firmly on her little face, and it was then that Estrella Berrocal reacted to the hole he had dug and blushed up to her neck.
About sleeping on your wedding night … Is it up to her?
“That, I’m going to take a shower first.”
Estrella Berrocal pushed him away, got up and hurried to the bathroom, lifting the hem of her skirt.
She had not run more than a few steps before Adán Rouco pulled her from behind, the man’s chest against her bare back, his thin lips pressed against her ear in a muted seductive voice, “Ms. Estrella, don’t make me wait too long, hurry up.”
“…”
Estrella Berrocal, not knowing where she got the courage, turned and kissed him right away before running to the bathroom.
Estrella Berrocal, who had washed herself in the bathroom to smell good, got out of the bathtub and took another bottle of her favorite perfume, which she sprayed twice on her neck and wrists, this bottle, of the most natural gardenia scent, which Adán Rouco had said he loved.
Tonight is the wedding night, so there has to be some kind of ceremony anyway.
Estrella Berrocal is not wearing a pajama top, but a bath towel wrapped around her chest, which is easy to remove and opens with a gentle tug. After all, … she’s wearing a pajama top, which Adán Rouco is also going to take off, so it’s best to save yourself the trouble.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw the man already leaning on the bed waiting for her.
Estrella Berrocal blushed and approached, somewhat shyly, and before reaching the bed, she was gathered in the man’s arms.
“It smells good.”
Adán Rouco gently sniffed the white nape of her neck, a little fascinated: “Perfumed on purpose to tempt me?
Estrella Berrocal has asked for foul: “…. If you don’t like it, I’m going to wash”.
Adán Rouco pulled her back in a hurry, “Like, like no.”
Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help but smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck, Adam Rouco’s eyes darkening as he watched her small face, her long fingers, gently withdrawing his towel.
Without blushing, a certain man said earnestly, “Mrs. Star, tonight is the wedding night, let’s unlock some new positions.”
“…”
All night, shame.
…
The next day, Estrella Berrocal slept until eleven o’clock in the afternoon, and if she had not been so hungry, she probably would have slept all afternoon.
When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and saw that two bath towels were still lying on the rug under the bed, and that the peanuts and cinnamon or whatever it was that she had put on the bed last night had long since rolled on the floor and been scattered everywhere, and that Adam Rouco had not let anyone in to clean it up yet, probably because he was afraid the maids would see her in bed.
The slightest movement of her legs made Estrella Berrocal so tired that she felt like cursing, a little fun on her wedding night would have sufficed, but this man, who tormented her until the wee hours of the morning, was as high as if he had been drugged.
Estrella Berrocal stood up holding her back as the bedroom door clicked open.
She cowered under the covers in fear, but the person who approached was none other than Adán Rouco.
“Don’t hide, it’s me.”
Estrella Berrocal poked her head out at that moment, but her face, by degrees, flushed again.
It was clear that I had seen him many mornings, but this morning was extraordinarily different.
The first morning after her actual nuptials, the bride was shy and deservedly so.
Adán Rouco sat on the edge of her bed, pulled back the covers and looked at her warmly, “Mrs. Estrella, good morning.”
And good morning, it’s noon.
“Why didn’t you call me in the morning?”
When you wake up on the morning of your first day of marriage, don’t you have to make coffee for your father-in-law?
But she, the daughter-in-law, slept until noon.
“Dad said you must have been tired last night and asked me not to call you.”
Estrella Berrocal: “¡…. Adán Rouco!”
He stood up, clenched his fists and punched her.
Adán Rouco looked at her amused: “You really believe it, it’s a joke. Dad approved you a long time ago, besides the wedding ended yesterday and it’s practically not your first day in the house, all those old-fashioned rules, there’s no need for them.”
The man took her in his arms and his large hands went to her waist and rubbed her gently, “Does your back hurt?”.
Estrella Berrocal gave him a blank stare: “And you know my back hurts. Last night you were like a bull, today I won’t be able to get up and everyone will laugh at me”.
Estrella Berrocal clenched her small hands and squeezed his chest, but his chest was too hard to squeeze, so Estrella Berrocal had to pinch him with her hands.
“That’s what shows we’re close and that’s what makes them more afraid to laugh at you.”
Estrella Berrocal threw her arms around his neck, with her little face tilted to one side, and pouted: “My legs are weak, take me to brush my teeth and wash my face”.
“Are you sure you’re going to let me hold you naked … like that? Then I might, well, not be able to resist, Ms. Star. ”
Estrella Berrocal picked up a pillow and slammed it in his face: “Adán Rouco, why are you so horny!”.
