The weeding night

All the guests were sitting on their places and were waiting for the 

bride. I, Diego, the groom, was also sat down in the first row, next to my 

parents. Everyone looked at me and I could hear their breaths and their 

hearts beating. Every second felt like hours and I became more nervous, as 

I saw the priest come before the aisle. Everyone was quiet as they waited 

for "her", but Aurora still didn't appear before the aisle and everyone 

was getting more and more tense. 

 It felt like the whole church stopped breathing as the big doors open and 

Aurora entered the aisle. She looked like an angel, a beautiful angel. Her 

hair was shiny golden, her dress as white as snow and the veil on her head 

making her look like a goddess descending from heaven. My throat felt dry 

when I saw her walking to the altar and I could feel how my parents were 

smiling proud at me and so were all the guests. 

 I was the only one who could see her face, since all of our guests only saw 

her from the waist down. While the priest read his words the only thing I 

could see from Aurora, just beside me, was her suspicious face and her 

smile full of anger, as she tried to hide her mocking. I tried to keep myself 

calm and hold back my tears of laughter, as I already imagined the first 

night of our marriage, where we would argue and shout at each other. The 

priest finally says the last words "You may kiss the bride" 

 The first thing I saw after lifting the veil from her face were her sapphire 

green eyes glaring at me and I knew, that all the plans for a normal 

marriage were crushed. With all the guests watching us, I leaned in 

towards her and kissed her with the least amount of love. To the guests it 

looked like a normal kiss and they all started to clap, cheer and celebrate 

us. But Aurora and me knew, that this won't end well and we both knew, 

that this night is going to be one hell. I didn't expect any resistance from 

her, so I wanted to continue the kiss for a bit longer. However, Aurora bit 

me in my tongue and started trying to break the kiss, but my tongue was 

still in her mouth. I felt my blood flowing out from the bite, but I didn't 

feel any pain. I just wanted to continue and continue this kiss in order to 

show Aurora, that she isn't stronger than me. We had to break the kiss, 

because all the guests had their eyes on us and started clapping and 

cheering even more. After everything that happened today, we just went 

back to the seats, sat down between our parents and waited until dinner 

and dancing began. Everyone celebrated our marriage and no one knew 

what could happen after all the guests leaving. Would there be an 

argument? Would there be a fight? Everyone was celebrating, but Aurora 

and me knew, that at some point we'd sit alone in our bedroom, full of 

hate for each other. 

 While we waited, Aurora was sitting there looking at me with hate in her 

eyes. My parents were sitting there thinking this was going to be the 

happiest day of both of our lives, while we both were dreading it, 

imagining in what hell we both got ourselves in. We couldn't even look at 

each other, without fighting, so we had to pretend to smile, while our 

guests started to arrive for the dinner and for the dance afterwards. 

 I had to laugh to myself, as Aurora feeds me her food and pretends to be 

my loving wife. We sat there and had to pretend, that we really wanted to 

marry each other and that we love each other so much. While I couldn't 

even look at her without getting angry, Aurora tried to keep up the 

facade for all the other guests, who thought we were so perfect for each 

other, they just didn't know what was boiling within us. 

 Everyone is waiting for the first dance, especially Aurora. She looks 

smug as she sees me get up and she already knows, that this will be her 

next chance to mock me. I know she doesn't want to dance with me, but I 

refuse to give her that satisfaction, so I grab her hand and lead her to the 

dance floor. We are both dressed perfectly and everyone in the hall was 

looking at us, thinking that this will be our happiest night ever. However, 

we both knew, that at some point when we are alone, everything would go 

wrong, but for now we had to play this facade. 

 When we are finally dancing and everything still looks perfect, Aurora 

comes close to me and whispers these words to me" „I take the bed, you 

sleep on the couch" . I knew exactly, what she meant with her words, but I 

couldn't help but laugh. I knew she just tried to start a fight, but this made 

me calm down a little bit and I didn't feel mad anymore. I just started to 

dance with her again, even more relaxed than before. All our guests were 

amazed by our perfect dance, they all thought that we were so in love. 

However Aurora and me both knew, that this was far from true. In reply, 

I just laughed out loud and whispered back to Aurora: "No thank you 

Aurora, I would rather stay in my bed next to you, than go to the couch 

and sleep alone". I knew that this is the perfect way to start an argument 

with her, but I also couldn't stop smiling, because in my mind, I already 

imagined how Aurora would get angry and we would start a fight, just 

like we do everytime . As our dance ended, everyone started to applaud us 

for the great dance and we both smiled for our guests. 

When Aurora whispered to me „ What about cutting the bed in half", I 

just knew we were entering a new stage in our "love life". I laughed and 

whispered back to her: "Oh Aurora, I love how you start these dumb 

fights. You know that I would never agree to this". To our guests, we still 

looked like the happy couple that is about to spend their first night 

together, while in reality, Aurora and me were already planning our 

arguments and fights to come. 

When Aurora hit me in a "playful" way, I was not surprised at all. I knew 

that she hated me so much, that she wouldn't hesitate to hurt me. 

However while our guests saw this playful and loving hit, I knew, that it 

wasn't out of love at all. In that moment our guests wouldn't even have 

thought, what would happen, as soon as everyone would leave, but 

Aurora and me both knew, what fight we would have in a few hours. 

Everyone watched as we both cut the first slice of the wedding cake 

together, they all had an expression of "aw" on their faces, thinking how 

adorable we look. Aurora and me knew, that nothing about this was 

adorable and that we both hated each other, as soon as the guests left. 

Still we kept on smiling and acting as if we loved each other, since that 

would be less suspicious in front of our guests. After the cake was cut, all 

our guests clapped and cheered for this moment and we both had to look 

happy and glad. 

Of all people, our parents were the most proud of us. Everyone sat there 

and thought about how perfect the wedding was and how in love we were 

with each other. They didn't know that it was all a lie and that Aurora and 

I hated each other, but they wouldn't believe us if we told them that. They 

thought, that this is what happens when two people finally get married 

after years of waiting. Both of our mothers had tears of joy, while our 

fathers just smiled proudly at us. Nobody knew what was actually 

happening, only the both of us. 

It was 3 am, everyone left and we both were completely exhausted from all 

the fighting during the wedding and from our exhausting first day of 

marriage. But even though we were so tired, we both couldn't sleep. We 

were both in our wedding outfits, sitting on the living room couch, looking 

at each other. We both hated each other so much, but we were too tired to 

fight. We hated each other so much, that there was no way to say which 

one of us was going to start the first fight, even though we both knew that 

we would start one eventually. 

As we were both too tired to even think normally, Aurora just looked at 

me for a while and tried to find a way to start a fight. She was trying to 

remember about all the things that I did to piss her off during the 

wedding, but she was too tired to even think clearly. She tried to find a 

reason why she should fight me, but just couldn't remember and that's 

when she sighed. In that moment, I couldn't help but smile, because this 

whole situation just made me laugh. 

She then said angrily: "You... You..." and again, she couldn't find a reason 

for a fight. Her brain was exhausted and I already knew, that we wouldn't 

sleep yet. She was probably searching for a reason why we should start the 

next fight and she was getting very close to finding it. She looked at me 

once again and with all the energy she had left said through gritted teeth: 

"You are.... You are ...." but she couldn't even finish her sentence. She was 

so tired, that at this point she didn't even know what she wanted to be 

mad at me. 

She then just sighed and gave me a little smile. She still hated me so much 

and she knew that sooner or later we'd start yet another fight. We both 

knew, that even though we looked so happy during the whole wedding, 

nothing was actually alright. Still she surrendered this time, because of her 

exhaustion. I returned the little smile and looked at her with a smug face, 

knowing that I won again. However, I couldn't help but notice, that I 

looked at her as she still had her smile, and I saw her eyes. And for the first 

time, I felt something else for Aurora... 

As Aurora started to walk away upstairs to sleep, I looked at her. And 

even though I still hated her, I just took in her beauty as she was walking 

away. I couldn't help myself but stare at her as she walked away and at 

that moment I felt something different for her. It wasn't love or hate, just 

something I had never felt towards her. It was something that made me 

want to go after her.... I hated it. I hated that I could feel something else 

for Aurora other than pure hatred.... 

"Aurora wait....". As I called out her name, she stopped, not turning 

around but already knowing, that I wanted to start something. I couldn't 

stand it, that she was so beautiful while I hated her so much. She started 

to turn around and to face me with a smug smile on her face. She knew, 

that I wanted to talk to her and that I wanted to say more. But she 

wouldn't give me that chance, as she simply smiled and said: "Sorry, my 

husband, but I need sleep" before turning around again and continuing to 

walk upstairs. 

In that moment, I wanted to chase her and do what I always did. Shout and 

fight with her, but this time I was paralyzed by my feelings towards her. 

Her beauty, her smirk, her face... I wanted more, but I had to fight it. I had 

to fight the feeling that I actually loved her in this moment, but I didn't 

know how to do it. I wanted to shout and fight with her, to show her that I 

will always hate her, but I couldn't. I just stood there paralyzed, not 

knowing what to do... 

My face became serious and I put all my strength into my next words 

which weren't even true. My voice was cold but still full of hatred, as the 

whole of our marriage. "Aurora, I expect my wife to tuck me in bed. Don't 

forget, that you have to give your loving husband his good night kisses" I 

said with the most serious voice I ever had. There wasn't even a hint of 

hesitation in my voice. It was as if I meant everything I just said and I 

knew exactly, how Aurora would react. 

As I saw Aurora turn around to look at me, I knew, that I was successful. 

My words hurt her. She hated me and I hated her and I wasn't about to 

break this facade. That's why I spoke those words to her, even though they 

weren't true, but I wanted to see the anger in her face. And I was 

successful. When she turned around and looked at me I saw the pure 

hatred in her eyes. That hatred, that looked like it could destroy 

everything around her, it just made me smile. 

Aurora did what I had expected. She opened the door and walked up the 

stairs towards our bedroom. However, as she opened the door for me, she 

said: "Go on", just as if this was normal. The hatred I had seen in her eyes 

just moments before, was now gone, as she led me up the stairs towards 

our bedroom. We both knew, that she would try again to start a fight while 

we were both in bed, but for now she had to wait. I followed Aurora 

upstairs and into our bedroom. 

Aurora walked into our bedroom without looking at me and then slowly 

sat down on her side of the bed. She wanted to start right here and now, 

but she didn't want to be the first one to start a fight. So she just turned to 

me and said: "Alright my dear husband". She said this with an obvious 

sarcastic tone in her voice, her expression full of hate and she was staring 

directly into my eyes. She was waiting for me to make my first step, so she 

could attack... 

As Aurora said these words, I knew exactly, what she wanted. She wanted 

to make me angry to start a fight with her. And the most annoying thing 

was, that she knew I couldn't stand the fact, that I actually liked her at 

that moment. That's why I couldn't let her win, I had to do something. 

Before Aurora could react, I jumped on her and wrapped her with our 

blanket. Once I had her covered to her waist, I looked her in the eyes and 

said: "My dear... Wife, I want... To.....". 

I stopped her from speaking by wrapping her even more into the blanked 

and just laughed. She tried to shout something, while staring at me with a 

mixture of surprise, disbelief and pure hatred. She couldn't understand, 

what just happened, but she could feel herself being pushed deeper into 

the blanket. That was my plan all along, because I wasn't going to allow 

Aurora the first punch, not right now after our wedding. She tried to 

break out of the blanket, but it was too heavy and soon enough I had her 

wrapped completely, making her look like a perfect and cute burrito. 

Aurora was wrapped completely. Only her face and her upper chest were 

visible, while she was completely wrapped in the blanket. She tried to get 

out, but she just couldn't. And she didn't just try to fight me, she tried to 

kick me, punch me and shout at me, but I just wrapped her even more into 

a cute burrito. She couldn't move, couldn't fight, couldn't shout and could 

just look at me, while I was looking at her smiling widely, looking very 

proud of my plan. She says „ 

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT... I swear i won't try to choke you while ill tuck you in 

the bed" 

I finally relaxed for a moment and smiled again, as I saw how cute Aurora 

looked, while being wrapped up in the blanket. Just to annoy her once 

again, I said: "Hmm, do I believe you? I don't... I think you will try to attack 

me anyways." That's when Aurora tried to convince me once again, that 

she couldn't and wouldn't do any of these things. Yet I knew, that she 

would. She couldn't resist the urge to destroy things... 

"You know what, let's just give it a try". As I said these words, I started to 

untie Aurora from the blanket completely, while being careful that she 

wouldn't be able to escape too easily. Even though I untied her completely, 

she hadn't started attacking me yet. She was still looking at me with a 

surprised face. I couldn't help, but think "Is that really all she has? Is she 

unable to start a fight now?". I didn't have an answer yet. I untied her legs 

and arms from the blanket and she still just looked at me... 

Once Aurora didn't do anything else, I lay down on the bed, thinking "She 

probably still has a plan. She wants to get even with me. She wants to tuck 

me in bed and then make fun of me." I looked at her again, and after she 

saw how I lay down on the bed, she walked towards me and started to tuck 

me in. As she did this, she looked at me directly in the eye with a smirk on 

her face and a sarcastic tone in her voice said: "Now, my dear husband, I 

need to tuck you in and give you your good night kisses." 

At that moment, I closed my eyes and leaned towards Aurora as if I 

wanted her to kiss me on the lips. I wanted to see what she would do now 

that I acted like I wanted her to kiss me. Her eyes got even bigger, as she 

realized that I actually wanted her to kiss me. She looked at me for a 

moment, while she still tucked me into bed, but after a moment of not 

knowing, what to do, she leaned towards me and gave me a quick kiss on 

my lips. 

As her kiss touched my lips, I had to think of our first wedding kiss. I 

couldn't forget, how she bit my tongue to stop me from wanting to fight. 

Even though we were now married, I couldn't resist taking my revenge. 

That's why as soon as her tongue made contact with mine, I quickly bit her 

tongue as hard as I could. And as I saw the shock on her face and the 

bleeding on her tongue, I couldn't help myself but laughing. And in that 

moment, I knew, I started a fight once again... My dear wife rolls her eyes 

and says „You're the worst". 

"Hahaha, you deserved that Aurora! Now go and enjoy your tongue that I 

just bit! Hahaha, take that!" I couldn't help myself but speak to her in such 

a mean way, after all she deserved it. I had to start a fight and she just 

gave me the perfect opportunity. That's why even though every sane 

person knew, that fighting on their wedding night was not normal, I still 

couldn't control myself. After all, why should I? That's how I've always 

done it with Aurora... . She is annoyed and replies with „Whatever sleep. 

It's almost 4 am" 

I looked at Aurora who had a mixture of hatred and surprise on her face. 

While I couldn't smile, I made the best smirk I could make while saying: 

"Why yes my dear wife, it is 4 am and I can't sleep after our exciting 

wedding. Why don't you try your best, to make me fall asleep?" Now I was 

waiting for her reply. I hoped, that she would start a huge fight, that 

would end once again with us completely destroyed, but the only thing 

that was missing were her words. She just looked at me and then turned 

around to leave the room... 

As soon as her face turned away from me, I started to get a little worried. 

What was she up to? I couldn't understand why she didn't start the fight 

yet. And at that moment, I felt a big and soft object falling onto my face. It 

was her pillow. I realized, what she was doing, and before I could react, she 

already hit me as hard as she could with her pillow. I tried to move the 

pillow, but at that moment I was still too slow... Aurora threatens me 

with the pillow „SLEEP OR ELSE.... At 10 we have to greet our parents so... " 

As the pillow hit me, I looked at Aurora who had a huge smile on her face 

and was just looking at me. It was obvious that she wanted me to go sleep 

and fast. I looked at the clock and saw, that it was almost 4 am. At this 

point I was still angry and didn't feel tired at all. That's why I couldn't 

believe, that Aurora wanted me to go sleep, just like that. "That's funny 

Aurora, but no. I don't think I want to sleep right now." I answered in a 

cold and annoyed tone... 

I started to laugh, as Aurora and I both pulled each others hair on the 

bed. The bed creaked, as the mattress and bed frame almost broke 

because both of us were pulling at each other with all our strength. As 

Aurora pulled my hair, I looked at her and thought of all the fights we 

had before our marriage. While the servants thought, that we were just 

being intimate and loving, Aurora and I knew, that we just started a new 

fight. We were still both pulling each others hair, while we almost fell off 

the bed...
