"Good morning, punkin." Billie turned to see Alex, with that smug smile on his face and both his hands behind his back. Happy, early morning, bastard. "I hate you." She groaned out, letting him smile back at her.

He pulled both hands out from behind his back to reveal two starbucks coffee's. "Milk. Two sugars, if I remember correctly." He smiled and she had to keep from kissing his mouth right then. She averted her course and planted a solid kiss on his cheek. "You are an angel." He smiled and handed her one of the coffee's and spotted Chris and Mya coming out of the elevator. 10:03, they were late to their own appointment. As if thinking the same thing Billie leant over and smiled, whispering to him. "Probably having a quickie." Alex laughed and replied. "Only Sabin's the bitch." Billie laughed whole heartedly and Chris groaned, knowing exactly what they were thinking. What they didn't know is that Mya was refusing to have sex with Chris until their wedding night. He thought he was going to die.

"Good morning, sweethearts!" Mya smiled. In her orange sundress and her wedge heels. She leant over and kissed Alex's cheek and then Billie's. Billie sighed, now knowing she was underdressed. In her jeans and dark blue t-shirt. She took another sip of the coffee, knowing she would need it for the day ahead. Alex sighed as Chris and Mya linked hands and began to walk- more like dance on air. Out of the hotel, with he and Billie following behind.

Billie felt bad for Alex. He had never been too fond of Mya, and had to spend most of his time with her seeing as she was Chris's fiance and, Chris was his best friend, and partner. Alex smiled at Billie as he noticed her staring. "What, girl?" He asked. She smiled and looked away, shoving her now empty coffee cup into some random bin as they walked down the street, avoiding any stares from passers by and trying their best to follow Chris and Mya.

"Forget about it." She spoke, knewing he wouldn't understand. Not in public anyway. "Couldn't keep your eyes off me, ey?" He smiled, walking a little closer to her. Billie laughed. That was the thing with him. There were two people in this enigma known as Alex Shelley. There was Alex Shelley, that quick qitted, cocky, sure of himself bastard that you could see on tv every tuesday night. And then there was that other guy behind all that. That intelligent, amazing listener, total sweetheart that could always make her laugh. The thing is, the latter only came out when he was alone with her.

Billie shoved her hands into her pockets, looking forward to the happy couple. Holding hands and giggling and kissing and touching. "Aw come on, don't tell me your still carrying a flame for that sappy bastard when you've got a prize pig right here." Alex spoke, low into her ear as he leaned over to her, keeping the pace.

"It's down here!" Mya yelled toward the two, making Alex take a step off of Billie so it didn't look like they were together or anything. I mean, that's the last thing either of them wanted. Right?

Billie and Alex followed them into a little shop on the corner, obviously high class. "Ms Jameson?" Mya turned to be greeted by a tall, skinny, sexually ambiguos man dressed in a very snappy suit. "We have everything set up for you." Mya led the group to some back corner, whee there was a little test table set up. With flowers and candles and placecards andplates and napkins. It was gorgeous, well, It should have been. Billie designed it.

"It's perfect, B!" Mya screamed, skipping over to the table in her wedge heels. "Uhm. I thought we didn't want candles?" Chris said, walking over to the table, picking up the little white candle that sat next to the napkin. "Noooo, /you/ didn't want candles. I did." Mya smiled sweetly at him, but Chris didn't faulter. He furrowed his eyebrows, crossing his arms at his fiance. "Oh crap." Billie mumbled. She had seen it a thousand times and would see it a thousand more. The woman would sacrifice everything the man wanted just to have their picture perfect wedding. Chris sighed, "Well. What about the scarlet begonias? Ya know, like the sublime song? I thought we agreed on that at least..." Chris grumbled at her. She sighed, rolling her big blue eyes over. "I don't even like sublime..." Alex and Billie could have sworn time had stopped. You don't tell Chris Sabin you don't even like Sublime weeks before the wedding, you idiot. "Uhm, we'll meet you guys at starbucks when your done..." Alex yelled at the couple before grabbing Billie's hand, dragging her out of the shop.

"Holy shit." Alex spoke, looking at Billie. Those two were about to go at it, it was easy to tell. "Holyyyyyyyy shitttttttt." Billie spoke, slapping her hand to her forehead. "Why would she say that?" Billie had to laugh, Mya could really be an idiot. "That's the kind of shit that could break up the wedding." Alex laughed, walking back wards so he could see the expression on Billie's face. Billie laughed and shook her head, "This is a disaster." Alex smiled at her as she chewed on her bottom lip. "Don't worry about it bub, nothing you can do now." Alex said, walking closer to Billie, going into reach for her hand so he could hold it while they walked.

He reached in- "What do you think about all this?" She said suddenly, grabbing his hand befor he could hers. "What do you mean." "This whole Me, Chris, Mya thing we've got going here." She sighed. Alex smiled, knowing she would only talk when she felt ready, and when she wanted an answer, she wanted the truth. "I think you just feel like the third wheel because you've been so close to both of them for such a long time. You need to remove yourself from the situation and realise you don't need them to be the amazing woman you are-" Billie stopped dead in her tracks and looked at him. He smiled as she looked at him. "If you weren't Chris's best friend I would totally kiss you right now". Alex laughed and continued walking, dropping her hand. "Gee, thanks pal." Billie rolled her eyes, skipping to catch up with him. "You know what I mean, Alex. Just fooling-" Alex shoved his hands into his pockets, nodding. "Sure, B-"
