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
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 38- Rehearsal Dinner
Harrison POVHolly was still recovering in the hospital, and the other guy who was involved in the heist that resulted in her in such a condition was arrested shortly after Rhett had spoken to the police. He’s an accountant, so I figured he gave them some tips or something to find the other guy. I’m currently standing in the room that Rebecca had shown me for the wedding reception, wearing a navy blue suit and matching tie with a white button-down, holding a glass of champagne in my left hand and my other hand in my right pocket as I scan the room. I haven’t been as social as usual since Holly got hurt; it’s taken its toll on me. Seeing my twin beat and weak… something changes inside of you when that happens, and I couldn’t seem to find joy in nearly anything since I’ve been spending my days with her this week, regardless of how perky she acts and how many times she insists that she's fine.I felt a hand on my shoulder come from behind and a sweet voice say my name, “Harrison.”I tur
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 39- Toasts
Rhett POVThe night had seemed to be going well, and I was in good spirits for the most part as Rebecca and I mingled with everyone. My parents had come up to me and shared their thoughts on Harrison’s new relationship and how happy he seems to be, and I was left horribly confused. I looked around and spotted him and Milo walking hand in hand toward the table where dinner was about to be served.‘Well, that’s new,’ I thought to myself. Milo said he didn’t have romantic feelings for Harrison, and as far as I know, Harrison felt the same way about Milo, and their friendship was extremely casual. Did I miss something?Dinner began, and I casually glanced at where Harrison and Milo were sitting a few times. Every time I looked, they were laughing or leaning close to one another. At one point, Milo whispered something to Harrison that made him laugh, and I couldn’t help the tinge of jealousy I felt as I watched them in their own little bubble.“You okay, hon?” Rebecca asked as she placed
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 40- What If (Rhett)
Rhett POVThe night before the wedding, after the rehearsal dinner, I was laying in my bed and wondering what my life would have been like if my parents had never walked in on Harrison and me at the lake house that one day. *We had been laying in bed together, naked, post-lovemaking, doing a little pillow talk.“I think you’re my person,” he whispered to me with a sweet smile on his lips. “I think so too,” I had responded with a chuckle. We made love, and each tried our hand at cooking in the small kitchen, and both of us failed. We ended up surviving the rest of our time in the lake house on burnt toast and water. It wasn’t a lot, but it was enough.“What happens when we go back to the real world?” He asked as we sat together in front of the fireplace on our last night. “Are you saying this isn’t real?”He chuckled and looked at me briefly before looking back at the fire and pulling his knees closer to his chest. “I mean when school starts, and our parents. How is everything goi
The Best Man's in Love with the Groom 41- What If (Rebecca)
Rebecca POV The night before my wedding, I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling, letting my friend’s comments from my bachelorette party run around in my mind. It just seemed like everyone my age was settling down and starting families, and that day that I saw Rhett I had been wondering if I would ever have that. Maybe I thought the stars were aligning and the universe was telling me yes, it will happen, and here’s who it should happen with, but what if I’m wrong? What if I hadn’t come back and introduced myself to Rhett that next day?*I was passing out the yummy treats that I had made the day before at the office. The floor I'm on right now is where one of my best friends, Alaina, works, and I always love our little catch-ups. The basket I was holding began to slip out of my hold and was too big for me to catch one-handed, and ended up falling to the floor. “Oh, no!” I got down on the floor and began picking up what had fallen out. A set of large hands came into sight and h
