Unexpected Love

Chapter 57 - The Reception

Catalina

"Now that you're all fed and a few drinks are in you, we can get down to business. To add to the couple's special moment, they each have selected a song to which they would have their first dances to. Now, neither one knows what song the other has chosen so that makes the moment even more special." Josep announced after everyone sat down to let their dinner settle in their stomachs.

I'd have to give my compliments to the chef because that three course meal was absolute heaven.

Also I barely heard any of what my brother was saying because I was suddenly distracted by Cristiano carefully leading me to the wooden dance floor,"Cristiano's pick for Catalina will be the first to play."

"What did you choose?" I asked under my breath. His right hand encased my left, while his left rested comfortably on the small of my back over the beaded fabric of my dress.

"You'll see," he breathed, nodding towards the DJ.

"Oh Cristiano," Tears welled in my eyes as strains of the familiar instrumental started playing through the sound system.

He looked at me tenderly as he began mouthing the words to the song.

There'll be no darkness tonight
Lady our love will shine (Lighting the night)
Just put your trust in my heart and meet me in paradise (Now is the time)
Girl, you're every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won't steal away

He held me closer as we turned on the spot to Michael's soothing voice.

So let me keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Just come into my arms
While the world goes spinning by
In the glow of candlelight
I will show you you're the lady in my life

Don't need no fortune or fame
I just want you close to me (There's no mystery)
No time for castles in space
Or living in make believe (Don't you just see)
I'd trade it all for just a rainy day
As long as I know you'll be there, girl

I felt a hush come over the guests but I could've cared less because in this moment it was just him and I alone in this world.

So listen to my heart
Lay your body close to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel alright
And baby through the years going to love you more each day
So I promise you tonight that you will always be the lady in my life

Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Girl, I need you sweet caress, oh
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in a beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl

Our foreheads were touching and I felt his lips pepper my nose with a million kisses as the song went on.

And I will keep you warm through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And baby through the years even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
Cause you will always be the lady in my life

I tried to wipe my eyes when the song ended but he stopped me. Instead he took a handkerchief from his pocket and did the honours himself before bringing me in for a tight hug.

"That was so beautiful," I swear it was Ricardo who was choking up while saying that.

"I know man. I know," Josep agreed with whoever it was,"Catalina it's your turn."
