The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 12- Spooning
Harrison POVRhett’s eyes wandered the room again and settled on something on the ground by the bed. I followed his eyesight and found a blue tie that was molded around the corner of the bed. Milo's tie, to be more exact.“Oh, uh… aha…” I weakly chuckled and scratched the back of my neck.Going and picking it up to hide it would do no good since he’s already seen it, so do I just leave it there and pretend his coworker’s tie isn’t in my studio apartment? Does he even care? I mean he left Milo there for me, I didn’t think he would have such a reaction to finding out I played with his little gift.His face remained blank as he stared at the tie and said, “Harrison, I have a… strange request.”“Hit me with it,” I said before sipping on my beer.“… Will you sleep with me?”I about choked and did a slight spit-take as he said that. I wiped my lips and chin, coughing. Rhett patted my back as I asked, “Pardon?”“Not… not sex, I just mean… will you lay down with me and… take a nap?”“… Why?”
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 13- Ten Million Dollars
Rhett POVI woke up from my nap feeling warm and well-rested. I blinked a couple of times before my eyes focused, and I saw Harrison's room around me.I can’t believe I asked him to spoon with me! I know I caught him off guard — the guy choked on his beer! — but more than anything at that moment, I wanted to touch him. Not just a simple touch, though; I wasn’t going to simply place my hand on my best friend/former lover’s thigh and call it good - that would just be awkward.‘Because what’s LESS awkward is asking him to fucking spoon with you!’ my conscience mocked.I remember falling asleep easily when I curled up with him, but I’m facing the other way now, and I feel a weight on my torso and warmth on my back. I looked down and saw Harrison's forearm visible around me. The veins in his arms were pronounced, and the blonde hairs were practically glowing with the streaks of light seeping through the gaps of the wood in the apartment. I smiled initially, and then I felt my cock twitch a
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 14- Venue
Harrison POVIt took me a few minutes after waking up from my nap with Rhett to gather myself. He sprung up and ran out of here like I had set him on fire! He was the one who asked to take a nap together, so what the fuck was that reaction?!I was warm and had to tie my hair up. Whether it was from spooning with Rhett after all these years or if it was the sudden burst of adrenaline when he woke me up, I wasn’t sure. All I knew was that I needed another beer, and the one from earlier was warm.Climbing downstairs, my phone buzzed in my pocket, and when I fished it out, I saw an unknown number.“Hello?”“Harrison?”“Rebecca?” Rhett must have given her my phone number after our dinner.“Yeah! How are you? I wanted to invite you to come and visit the wedding venue with me. My bridesmaids are all busy with work and I have nothing to do today, so I thought it would be nice to show you around.”Rhett wasn't going to spend his day off with her?“Um, yeah, sure. I can do that.”“Great! Okay,
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 15- Superman
Rhett POVI was busting my ass all day trying to uncover where this massive chunk of money could have disappeared to. So far, I discovered that half of the money had disappeared from an account that I had no control over, so that was a load off, but other than that, I still had five million dollars missing from somewhere.“Anything?” Milo appeared in my doorway suddenly, making me jump as I had been so focused and hunched over toward the computer screen.“No. You?”“I don’t even know where to start, Rhett,” he admitted.“What?” I turned my head to look at him, my eyebrows drew together. “What the hell have you been doing all day then?!”“Well, I stepped out for a smoke and then I was on the computer-”“Milo, I swear to God if you tell me that you’ve been on ANY social media platform while I’m digging for millions I’m going to kill you.”“Of course not! I was-”“I want you to check who had access to each account so that once I find the accounts it came from we will have a list of suspe
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 16- Baking Memories
Harrison POV“What are we going to do with all these goodies once we’re done? We only have one corner of the dining table left empty to hold anything. Bake sale? Make a little moolah with these bad boys?” I waved a brownie gently in front of Rebecca’s face playfully.She giggled and went back to mixing the batter. “It’s really not that much. And I was thinking of taking it to the office.”“Where your dad and Rhett work?”“Mhm. I stop by now and then and bring them something yummy. It gives me an excuse to visit Rhett at work, and everyone there appreciates the gesture.”I nodded my head to her, suddenly wondering how big the building Rhett works in is. I had never been there before because there was never a reason for me to visit, and it's on the other side of town than where I live and work, so I've never actually seen where he works.I walked to the other side of the big kitchen and looked around. How does this girl seem to have so much free time to bake and go out and still afford
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 17- Rebecca
Rebecca POVI bake when I’m stressed. I laugh when I’m nervous. My mind is a chaotic mess if I feel like I don’t have complete and utter control over anything, especially these past two years. That’s why I love interior design so much; I can organize rooms to have a perfect flow that is calming and promotes good energy, surrounding people with colors and details that will make them feel good and powerful.Rhett had been so nervous about me meeting his best friend and had held off on asking Harrison to be his best man until a month before the wedding, it made me curious of what went down between those two that would make the conversation so difficult to have. I told him to pick someone else if he wasn’t comfortable with Harrison, but he insisted it be him, and I agreed.He always acted strange when I brought him up, it was like he was shocked to be hearing his best friend’s name come out of my mouth, possibly scared, even. It was so strange, and I hoped meeting Harrison would answer al
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 18- Comparing Options
Rhett POVAs much as I wanted to celebrate my victory tonight with the recovered money and praise from Rebecca’s father, I was so tired from everything and had such a headache from staring at the computer screen all day long that I just wanted to go home and lay down. Celebrating can wait.I drove to my apartment and flopped onto the bed immediately, not even bothering to get changed. I looked down at what I was wearing: jeans and a long-sleeve shirt. It reminded me that I had napped with Harrison earlier in this same outfit before getting the call from Milo to head to the office. I grabbed the neckline of the shirt and lifted it to my nose, only to smell the faint scent of coconut still lingering there. It was barely noticeable, but I caught it, and it made the corners of my lips curl up.I turned my head to my nightstand and saw the two framed photos that were propped up there. One was of Rebecca and me on the night that I had “proposed” with the backdrop of the city behind us, and
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 19- Lunch Date
Harrison POVHolly invited me to lunch a week later. We met at a fancy restaurant that had thick cloth table covers and napkins that were bound by metal rings at the center of the plates.I walked up to the maître d’ and told him, “Hi, I’m meeting my sister here. Holly Monroe.”He looked at his little book on the stand and his eyebrows drew together. “I fear I don’t have anyone by that name.”Right, I almost forgot she never uses her real name when making reservations. Due to some crazy-ass ex-boyfriend of hers, she started using aliases to hide from them should they stalk her at any point.“What about Holly Golightly? Or Marilyn Monroe? Those are her go-to,” I said with a chuckle.The man looked again and smiled as he tapped the book, “There she is. Follow me, please.”He escorted me to the table she was seated at, and she smiled and stood upon seeing me. She stretched out her arms, saying, “Twinny!”I smiled and hugged her back before we took our seats.“Still using the aliases?”“I
