Second's the Best
I sat on the steps of the Church. Just a few moments ago I watched my husband-to-be run away from me. He left me at the altar dumbfounded and embarrassed. He said I wasn't the 'one' for him.
So here I am, sitting on the steps as my tears poor from the heavens. The sky is crying for me because I don't want to embarrass myself more then I already have. As it continues to rain my beautiful white dress becomes soaked along with my short dark brown hair that hides under my veil.
"Nikki!" I hear a familiar voice call my name. I look up and see Dougie, my best friend in the whole world, run towards me.
He was dressed casually because he didn't want to attend my wedding. I was happy to see him but then I remembered what he told me…
"He won't make you happy!"
I shot up from my seat on the step and stomped down the stairs as he walked up the first couple stairs.
"This is all your fault!" I yelled as I poked my index finger into his chest and he stumbled down one stair. "You jinxed my wedding saying Tom wasn't good enough for me!"
"Nikki-"
"Don't make excuses! I thought you were my friend but you're just a jerk! I HATE YOU!" I yelled as I pushed him and he tumbled down the reset of the stairs. He landed on his back, hitting the concrete, hard. "DOUGIE!" I ran down the stairs, tearing my dress on the way. I fell to my knees next to him. I began shaking him but he wouldn't wake up. "Dougie, please wake up. Please, I'm sorry! Don't leave me; you know I love you-"
"That's just it." He finally said. His eyes were still shut and real tears were finally coming from my own eyes. "I love you too." He said once his blue eyes open and he looked straight into my hazel eyes.
"You idiot, why are you now telling me this when I almost got married to Tom?"
"I couldn't tell you not to marry my friend when I love you and didn't know you had feelings in return, but now that I know you love me…why did you say yes?"
"I-" Why did I say yes? Just because of what Dougie said? Yes, I just wanted to prove him wrong, I didn't want him to know my true feelings for him. "I wanted to prove you wrong. I always thought you'd only like me as a friend but I've always had feelings for you." I let out a laugh. "I guess I'm just as guilty as Tom." I laughed again and more tears came.
Dougie sat up and watched me. "I love you." My heart skipped a beat as he repeated those words. Soon his arms wrapped around me and he rested his chin on my head. "I love you so much; I'll never let you go."
"You idiot." He chuckled.
"Yeah, I am." He pulled away to look at my face. "I've wanted to ask you out way before Tom did."
"Then why-" Before I could finish my sentence, he lifted my veil and planted his lips on mine. Oh how I've always wanted to experience this. His kiss was way better then Tom's. The kiss was so gentle; as if he kissed harder I'd shatter. Tom my dismay he pulled away.
"Because I was nervous." He answered for me. I was surprised he knew what I was asking.
I couldn't find words to speak with so I just let my actions speak. I pulled his face to mine and kissed him back, a tad bit rougher. He kissed me back with just the same about of passion. After what felt like hours without air I pulled away.
"You idiot, I would have said yes." He smiled. "Did you know seconds are always the best even when it comes to relationships?" He smiled and nodded.
"Yes." And we kissed once more, even if it wasn't at the altar…just yet.
