Reviews on what u think or suggestions on where to go.
Thanks again :)
C POV
Here I stand pacing the hallway as I think back to what just happened.
I kissed him.
Not at all my intention.
Nevertheless I kissed him.
What the hell is wrong with me?
It took me 6 months to forget how his lips felt against mine, but yet the need to feel them again never went away. And now here I am licking my lips to savor his taste ... Again.
"Catherine?!"
Oh shit. I knew I was wrong to basically run out of there but it was just too much at one time. Thankfully Tori walked away before she saw me bolt. I was hoping he wouldn't follow me. Leave me to my own embarrassment. But knowing the kind of man he is, of course not.
I took a deep breath and I looked around the corner of the wall I was hiding in."Over here Vincent."
He casually walked over to me with a small smile on his face.
"Why did you run? Was I that bad?"
Bad? God no. You are still the best kiss I've ever had.
"Sorry. I just ... " I looked down as I feel my face heat up. He's always done that to me. One look and I'm a puddled mess.
"Its ok. We don't have to talk about it right now. I was going to give you space but unfortunately duty calls. They are doing the toast and I believe we have speeches to give."He held out his hand and I didnt hesitate and grabbed it. He locked his fingers with mine as we walk back in the reception area. He led me to our table and sat down.
The DJ lowered the music and called up Vincent and I front and center.
He stood up and held his hand out for me as he led us to the middle of the dance floor.
"Wish me luck!" He whispered as grabbed the mic.
I gave him a thumbs up and a wink.
"Good evening everyone. It takes a strong and intelligent man to realize his dreams and achieve his goals in life and love. A man that is not afraid to live life to its fullest and embrace what is truly important.
But enough about me… I'm here to talk about Jt and Tess. As I begin this wedding speech one of the first thoughts that come to mind is… if I'm the best man… than why is Tess getting married to jt?"
A roar of laughter cuts across the room.
"I guess because today, I am just an average man and jt is the best man. This is my first time to be a best man and I learned that I'm expected to sing praises of the groom and tell you what a wonderful man Jt is".
He looked over to Jt. "Sorry buddy but I can't sing and I'm a bad liar."
I couldn't help but giggle with that. I never knew this playful side of Vincent which shows me how little I really know of him
"Just kidding. On a serious note. I've been there since the beginning and looking at both of you I'm certain that two people have come together today to form a union that will surely last forever. Tess, you look absolutely beautiful. jt is lucky to have found such a wonderful woman to share his life with. Jt is my best friend and I'm honored that he chose me to be his best man on this most important day in your lives. I wish you both peace and happiness in your new life together and may God bless your union."
Applause filled the room along with howls from the rest of the groomsmen. Vincent walked over to Jt and gave him a hug as he lifted him off the floor. He then took Tess' hand and kissed it as she pulled him towards her and hugged him tight. He then smirked at me and handed me the mic. I nodded as if to thank him and took a breathe.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and thank you all for being here to celebrate Tess and Jt's very special day.
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Catherine. I'm the maid of honor and the best friend of the bride. I want to start off by saying that every once in a while… two people meet, and you know it's meant to be. You know instantly that the stars have aligned, and their paths would bring them together regardless what the world may throw their way. This was clearly the case over 5 years ago, when tess and I first met."
I looked over at Tess and gave her a wink. She reciprocated by blowing me a kiss.
"I still remember the first words that she said about Jt. "Not interested" which I emphasized with air quotes.
"And to my surprise two months late and after three dates, they were a couple. When I asked her about it all she said to me was "I took a risk." It took me a while to realize why she said that, but looking at them I can see why. Being in any relationship it's that, it's a risk. It's accepting that there are no guarantees. I mean who knows what the future brings and going for it anyway.
So I raise my glass in awe of both of you and hopefully one day I will be brave enough to take that risk.
My greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will deepen and grow. That years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least. Cheers to you!"
Clinking of glasses filled the room and I heard my sister cheered as the room clapped.
I walked over to Tess whose now crying and laughing at the same time.
"I love you" I told her as I wrapped my arms around her tight.
I leaned over to Jt and whispered with a grin on my face, "you hurt her,I'll kill you."
