Velvet Lullabies

A year ago, she had no idea she would be here, in her fitted white silk gown. The dress was modest but tight enough to show off her body with cap sleeves covering her shoulders. She had an elegant train that trialed behind her. He makeup was perfect, not too dramatic but gorgeous fluttery lashes and pink lips.
“Darling,” her mother interrupted her staring. “I have
something for you.”
She presented her with small red velvet box. Inside was a solid gold and diamond tennis bracelet. Her mothers.
“Isn’t this your?” she questioned.
“Your father gave it me when we were dating. I think he would want you to have it now.”
“It’s beautiful.” She whispered. Eve helped her clasp it onto her wrist.
“Perfect.
They had a small wedding party, just Gemma, Enzo, and Cleo as the flower girl. Cleo skipped down the aisle, wildly throwing petals.
“Your turn.” Carlo told her smiling. He extended his arm to escort her.
It was untraditionally, sure, but she was happy to have him alongside her.
They entered the church to everyone standing, the wedding march playing in the background, and Lucian standing at the end of the aisle.
He was all she saw as she walked slowly down to him.
Lucian Luchese looked like sin on silver platter in his three-piece-tux with leather dress shoes. Her dark hair was slicked back, stubble cleanly shaved. He smiled as she stood beside him.
“Hi, bella.” he whispered.
They went through the motions eyes locked on each other.
“I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. Lucian Anthony Luchese.”
Epilogue
Five years later…
The piano was the most soothing sound Lucian had decided. He loved opening the doors to their brownstone to hear the sounds of classical music floating through the air.
“Girls,” he called out.
“Daddy!” The first to greet him was Alessia, she was a daddy’s girl.
Evie, was still at her mother’s feet at the piano, she was a mommy’s girls.
Lucian hurled Alessia into the air, swinging her around and pulling her into his arms. “Hi baby.” He greeted.
“Hi Daddy!”
He carried her into the piano room where he found Adelina and Evie.
Damn. He loved his girls.
“Hi.” Adelina turned around slowly.
“Hi.” He responded.
She pulled something from beside her, extending it out to him.
