The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 30- Milo's Questions
Rhett POVOn Monday morning I was greeted in the office with tons of smiles and thanks from the guys who were at the party for such a great time. Apparently, Milo has been getting a lot of credit for it around the office and he has been relishing in the praise; he’s been nothing but smiles every time I’ve seen him.He stepped into my office for a chat around noon.“Hey, Rhett!”“Hey. How’s it going?”He sat on the chair on the other side of my desk and leaned back. “I’ve been incredible.”The smile on his lips looked somewhat mischievous, and it made me curious.“How did you enjoy the bachelor party?”“I loved it! Doesn’t Harrison do such a great job?” He rested his chin in his palm and kept up the mischievous smile.My eyebrows narrowed at him. Surely Milo didn’t know what happened between me and Harrison at the party. He was probably the least drunk out of everyone there, but he couldn’t possibly have put the pieces together, and I know for a fact that Harrison wouldn’t have told hi
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 31- Harrison’s Birthday (Harrison)
Harrison POVI had almost forgotten about my birthday with everything going on with Rhett getting married. Milo offered to take me out one day as we were brainstorming for the bachelor party, and I took him up on his offer quite quickly. After Holly’s and my playful imagining of my own bachelor party, I thought that a gay bar sounded like the perfect escape.Of course, since we’re twins, Holly is coming along to the bar.“I get to come too?!” she shouted through the phone excitedly at me, making me laugh.“Yes, of course, you are! We’ve never spent a birthday apart, you wanna start now?”“Hell no! Oh my gosh, I’m so excited! I’m totally going to try to turn one of the guys there.”“What?!”“I think it would be fun! It’s been getting pretty easy with guys lately, I could use a challenge. Plus, I'm freshly single and looking for some new meat.”“Holly, if you want to go home with a gay man, you can have Milo.”“I don’t want your sloppy seconds!”I laughed at her. “What about going home
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 32- Harrison's Birthday (Rhett)
Rhett POVI walked through the door to be greeted by blinding lights, deafening music, and a crowd of sweaty, half-naked people. Milo told me this was the bar that he was taking Harrison to for his birthday, and the silent treatment was driving me crazy. I needed to speak to him, but I feared if I showed up at The Lock Box that we would end up in bed again. As much as that idea intrigued me, I knew it couldn’t happen again, and this was the only other time that I knew where he would be and when, so I took advantage of that fact and showed up.Was this the crowd that Harrison rolled with? These obnoxious, loud, bright people who seem to not give a single fuck about who sees them in such attire? There were people in mesh tops, for crying out loud! That’s not practical! “Hey, honey. Take a picture, it’ll last longer,” the man in mesh said to me as he gently slapped my cheek and sauntered off. I didn’t realize I had been staring at him as I silently judged his clothing choice.Maybe Harr
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 33- Sleepover
Harrison POVAs quickly as I had spotted Rhett, he had disappeared. Was he even here in the first place? Or was I hallucinating? Maybe someone here spiked a drink I was given and I’m seeing things now. I don’t know why Rhett would show up here. Actually, that’s not true. I know exactly why he would show up here: he would want to speak to me about what happened between us, you know, how we had sex and he told me he loves me, then began crying because he was torn and ultimately chose Rebecca, then saying he hopes I’ll still be his best man and be there for him in the end.To be fair, I was the one who said it was a mistake. But at the same time, I also wasn’t the one who confessed his love for the other and then froze. I guess I kind of ran away from the situation and have been ignoring it ever since, but I’ve never been in this position before and I have no idea how to handle it. How is one supposed to react when they finally make love to the person they believe is their soulmate and t
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 34- Mr. & Mrs. Langely
Rhett POVWith the wedding in less than a week, my parents arrived in town this afternoon to be here for it. We don’t talk too much, but they were thrilled to learn about me and Rebecca, and even more excited about us when they met her for the first time.They met her post-accidental-proposal, so it was a bit of a shock to them when I brought her home and we announced the news of our engagement to them, but they welcomed Rebecca into the family with open arms. I’m not so sure if they approved of Rebecca, or if they approved that she wasn’t Harrison, but no matter, my parents are happy and that’s all that’s important to me right now.Except for Harrison; Harrison is important to me. Also, Rebecca is important to me, and my job, and Rebecca and my job go hand-in-hand, so I guess this marriage means more to me than Harrison does. Why does that feel so wrong to say? Even thinking the words in my mind makes me shudder as if what I’m thinking is twisted and wrong. Maybe it is, but I can’t t
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 35- Dinner with the In-Laws
Rhett POVI drove my parents to Rebecca’s condo because parking there was always rather scarce, and I didn’t want them to have anything to complain about. The ride was silent, and I wondered if my parents ever had anything to say to me that wasn’t about what happened with Harrison. It seemed like all they ever did was complain to me about my past failures in their eyes, and never anything about my successes. Hopefully, that fact will change after the wedding.Rebecca opened the door for us with a wide smile and hugged my parents as if they were the closest friends in the world.“I’m so happy you are here!”“So are we, Rebecca!”“Come on in, I just set the table.”We all walked in together, and I shut the front door behind us.“What a lovely condo,” mom praised her as she took in her surroundings.“Thank you, Mrs. Langely!”“Oh, please, dear, call me Coraline,” mom insisted. “You decorated the place yourself, yes?”“Yes, my home was my interior designing guinea pig,” Rebecca said with
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 36- Call Me Jodie
Harrison POVTwo days passed after our birthday outing, and it seemed like life had gone back to normal; I was simply Rhett’s best man and mentally preparing myself for his wedding in four days, I was handling the bar and getting used to my role as assistant manager some more, and I was still trying to get glitter off of my back since Holly’s and my birthday. Everything seemed fine… until I got a call on my cell from the hospital.“Hello?”“Is this Harrison Monroe?”“Yes, how can I help you?”“This is Dr. Reynolds at St. James Hospital. I’m afraid to inform you that your sister, Holly, has been injured.”As soon as I heard the word doctor, I grabbed my keys and turned the “Sorry, we’re closed” sign on the door of The Lock Box, running to my car.“I’ll be there in ten minutes. What happened? How bad is it?”“I will speak to you when you arrive, sir.”Oh, fuck. I don’t like that answer.I arrive at St. James Hospital in record time and sprinted to the front desk to find out where my sis
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 37- Is It My Fault?
Rhett POVI was with my parents, feeling as suffocated as ever by them when the phone rang and I learned that Holly was in the hospital. I up and left my parents with a quick “I have to go” and rushed to the hospital to make sure she was alright and find out what happened. I was startled when I saw the police officers there and walked carefully over to them. “Um, I’m Rhett Langely. Holly is my best friend’s sister.”One of the officers pulled out a little notepad that I saw was an “Approved Visitors” list, and he nodded before letting me enter the room.I saw Harrison first, sitting on a chair and holding Holly’s hand, but I couldn’t see Holly entirely. Our eyes met immediately, and he said my name. I walked toward him as if I was floating on air.Once past the curtain, I saw Holly’s condition, and my entire body went cold. Here was this bubbly, happy person who is always optimistic and fun, laying in a hospital bed covered in bruises with her arm and leg in casts. “Hey, Rhett,” sh
