Cora-

Chris dragged me to the bathroom.

"What the hell was that?", she asked.

"He kissed me, I swear", I said.

"I saw Cora", she smiled.

I went to wash my hands.

"Oh my god, you like him", she said.

I turned to look at her.

"What? You're crazy", I said.

"You do, don't you", she said.

"Chris, stop", I said.

She crossed her arms over her chest and smiled.

"Christina stop, don't", I said.

"You're blushing", she smirked.

I sighed.

"This can't be happening", I mumbled.

"Cora, it was bound to happen eventually", she shrugged.

"Not to me", I said.

She sighed.

"What are you so afraid of Cora?", she asked.

"I'm not afraid", I snapped.

She gave me a look.

"Cora", she said softly.

"I saw you fall in love and then lose him. I saw the heartache that caused you. I can't and I won't go through that", I said.

She looked down.

"I'm sorry", I said, taking her hands.

"Don't be, but just because it ended the way it did for me, doesn't mean it's gonna be like that for you", she said.

"You should start dating again", I suggested.

"It would feel wrong", she said softly.

" I always thought we would be at your wedding first", I said.

She chuckled.

"Apparently you're next", she smirked.

"Can we just drop this please", I groaned.

She nodded.

"It's funny though, he's like a guy version of you", she said.

I glared at her.

"It's true", she said shrugging.

"It doesn't matter, because after tonight I'm never seeing him again", I said.

"Awe, but he's your husband", she said playfully.

I pinched her.

"Ouch. I wonder if he's this violent too", she said.

"Christina", I glared at her.

She laughed.

"I'll stop", she said.

Colby-

My mom dragged me out of the room by my ear.

"Mom, that hurts", I said.

Ryan was laughing behind her.

"What did I tell you? I said to behave", she said.

"It wasn't my fault", I said, rubbing my ear.

"I saw you Colby. You kissed that girl. If you mess this up for your cousin", I stopped her.

"I'll fix this, I promise", I said.

"You better", she said.

She walked back inside and I punched Ryan in his arm for laughing.

"Dude", he said, rubbing his arm.

I redid my hair in a bun and looked around. I couldn't stop thinking about her and how soft her lips were.

"So how was it?", Ryan asked.

"I only kissed her for like a second", I said.

"I saw your face, you like this girl", he said.

"I'm not a keep them kinda guy", I said.

"I don't know man, this girl she ain't like the others. This one's giving you a run for your money or in your case, heart", he said.

"Shut up", I said.

"You know I'm right. Dude, you barely know her and you're already going crazy", he said.

I chuckled.

"You don't know what you're talking about", I said.

"Did you see fireworks?", he asked teasing.

I put him in a headlock.

"Stop fucker", he said.

"Take it back", I said.

"Fine fine, you don't like her", he said.

I let him go.

"You love her", he said, running back into the room.

I ran after him and stopped once we reached the party. I saw Kat and went over to her.

"Hey", I said.

She rolled her eyes and Jesse did the same.

"I want to apologize. I didn't mean to make your sister uncomfortable or you, I'm sorry", I said.

"Thanks", Jesse said.

"There's someone else you need to apologize too", Kat said.

I sighed and nodded.

"Where is she?", I asked.

Kat pointed back at the table and she was having a conversation with her sister. I looked back at Jesse.

"May I?", I asked.

"Okay", he said.

"Would you mind calling off your twin?", I asked.

"Just tell him you want to apologize", he said.

I nodded. I went over there and her brother stood.

"Okay, I just came over to apologize", I said.

Cora didn't look at me.

"Isaac, let him", Chris said.

"I swear man, if I do anything out of line, you can punch me the fuck out", I said.

"Isaac", his girlfriend said.

"Fine", he finally said.

He sat back down. I looked at Cora.

"Would you mind coming with me? Close by of course, in view of your brother", I said.

"Fine", she said.

She stood and I rested my hand on her back to guide her away from the crowd. Making sure her brother could see us. I stuffed my hands into my pockets.

"I'm sorry Cora. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable", I said.

"It's fine", she said, still not looking at me.

I put two fingers under her chin and tilted her head up so she would look at me. The look in her eyes was heart stopping.

"You okay?", I asked her.

"Yes", she said.

She moved my hand away.

"What are you doing tomorrow?", I asked.

"Concert with my sister", she answered.

"Oh the Luke Bryan one?", I asked.

She nodded. I nodded.

"I'm not always a complete ass you know. I can be a gentleman", I said.

"Good for you", she said.

"Can we start over? please", I asked.

She shrugged.

"Are we done?", she asked.

"Yes", I said.

She was going to walk away. I grabbed her hand. I saw her brother stand. I let her go.

"Maybe I can see you later?", I asked.

"Only if we run into each other again", she said.

"Oh we will, there's something about you that I just can't get enough of beautiful", I said.

"Sure", she said.

"You don't believe me", I said.

"It's one thing to say it and another to show it", she said.

I smirked.

"Then give me a chance to show you?", I asked.

"I'm gonna go now", she said.

"I'll see you again", I said.

She chuckled and walked away.
