Chapter six: wedding
Third person POV
In Mexico a guy is standing by an altar that had been decorated with purple lilies and white roses, he wears a navy-blue tuxedo. His hair is messy from all the times he has been running his hand through it, people on his back are all sitting in white chairs. They are all in a beautiful garden, everything looks perfect for a weeding if only it was what he wanted but is not. At a signal everyone stands and the groom turn to see where his bride was supposed to walk through. Except is not his bride but his groom, he sights, how can he make this deal work. Boni walks the ally wearing a white tuxedo, black dress shoes, he is nervous. It is the perfect wedding for him except his soon to be husband doesn’t love him and is straight.
Michael doesn’t know that Boni is gay because to be honest no one knows, Boni was always scared to tell his father. Even now that he is to be married to a guy his father was really clear on how this was going to ruin the family name. A guy marring a guy is absurd in his eyes, but then again if he was to spare his daughter of a marriage without love then he is going to sacrifice Boni. It is the name of the contract anyways, if the Rossi’s made a mistake then is not his problem. Boni reaches the altar where a judge stands to marry the two, Boni wants to cry because even though he doesn’t know Michael he can see him as a good husband. But he looks that Michael is throwing his way says just how much he is disgusted by the idea of this marriage. The exchange of rings soon is been made and Boni can feel it in his heart this will be the worst thing that could have happen to him. A tear rolls down his cheek, before he can clean it he feels a warm thumb removing it for him. His eyes widen when he sees it’s his husband, “I am sorry this is happening to us,” Michael whispers.
Once everything is sign they take a few pictures both of them smiling at the camera, Michael and Boni holding hands. Once the photo shoot is done Michael takes back his hand walking through the crowd of people. “What do you think you are doing son?” “I am not your son Alberto, I thought of you as an uncle but you're not even that anymore.” “Watch your mouth, you know this is just business, now suck it up, and start acting like a man.” Michael shook his head in disbelieve is this really what Alberto is? A monster that doesn’t give s**t about us his family. He gets it when is business like he says but this, this is his life he is playing with. he accepted the contract to help the family accidentally chose the wrong name couldn't he help him fix that? Instead he made Michael marry a guy for god sakes, he takes the drink he came to get in the first place and was about to walk away but he holds him by the arm tight. “You better be good with that husband of yours, at least in public or you will be in a lot of trouble.” with that he walks away leaving Michael even more pissed.
Alberto feels like he betrayed Michael but the truth is things are really bad, Alberto made a mistake with this people and then they threaten to kill his whole family. The only way Alberto saw this go through was with a marriage. So he talked to Don Jose and they planned this all, Don Jose was to say this was all his idea for the business. This is a secret Alberto plans to keep with him, even if he is to look bad in front of Michael all to keep him and everyone else safe.
Michael left eyes on him all the rest of the night, so he stayed by Boni’s side, they didn’t talk or even made eye contact at all. He just needed to be seen with him so Alberto wouldn’t bother him again, he stayed the rest of the night drinking at least he could do that in peace. After a lot of drinking, Michael was drunk too drunk to know what he was doing but seen that Boni seems sad and boring Michael took his hand leading him to the dance floor. A slow romantic song was playing one in Spanish that Michael doesn’t know what it is said. Even though he doesn’t know Boni does, he understands every single word of it. Most of the song talks about a guy who has been change by love, more like changed by the love of his life. His life change for the best, he know knows how to live his life, Michael wraps Boni’s waist with both arms. Boni lays his cheek rest in Michael’s chest as they dance slow to the tune of the music, his hands resting on his chest as well.
To everyone in the party Michael and Boni look like a couple in love enjoying their wedding, but only Adriano really knew what was going on. He knows his friend is drunk and will most probably forget everything by tomorrow morning. Michael has always been like this even though he is sweet and caring, he still is reckless at times and gets too drunk to even remember the day before. But even when drunk he is a nice guy, you would have to do something terrible to make him mad and he wouldn’t even act upon. Maybe that is why Michael always has had the best communication with the girls of the Family including Carol who is the only one that closes off people.
In Spain Carol lays in bed thinking of Michael she is worried about him, he did called her and told her about the wedding and the guy and everything there was to be told. Now she just wants to know how everything ended up, did he went through with the marriage or are her family in danger fighting this Mexican cartel. Yeah she is not calling the guy a mafia man or anything like that, no because to her he is just a gang leader. The reason why is simple, she grew up in a mafia family, and if other don’t meet the standards her family has then they are not worthy to call themselves mafias.
