Only Average (EDITING)

Chapter twenty four

Ryan clears his throat in the car and as he puts on the blinker to get out of the parking lot he says “So… Umm…… How… I mean…. Ummm….” he looks nervous and I roll my eyes already knowing what he’s going to say. “Just spit it out already.” I look out the window waiting for him to ask. He nods like he’s trying to clear his thoughts. “Are you nervous about seeing Marie again? I mean it’s been over six months since you have seen her.” I take in a deep breath, I told him everything that happened in Ireland and how I feel about her now. I clear my own thoughts and think how to word it. “Well, it will be hard. I know that, especially since she has been seeing that doctor guy. But I will just have to get over it. It does help that I have been seeing Rachel for a few weeks, which is long enough to ask her to go to the wedding with me.” I finish as we pull into our driveway. Thank god. I hate talking about Marie; it makes me feel really sad for how I treated her and never told her how I felt. But it’s too late now. That doctor swept her off her feet. I walk into the house and straight to the back deck where my guitar and notebook still is. I need to finish the song that I’m writing for Ryan and Sarah. Just as a thanks for making me the best man.

Marie’s P.O.V

“Dylan! Are you ready for the rehearsal dinner?” I yelled from the bathroom as I put the finishing touches of my make up on. I’m wearing a silver cocktail dress with black strappy sandals. With my hair curled in loose curls and my make-up is in a smoky silver and black eye shadow and light eye liner. And to finish I applied light pink lip gloss. Dylan pokes his head into the bathroom scaring me half to death; I throw my hand over my heart to help stop the pounding. I mock glare at him through the mirror and he chuckles and says “sorry love. And yes I’m ready. And boy do you look beautiful!” He takes my hand and places a single red rose in it. “Forgive me?” He asks tilting his head to the side and smirking at me. I play slap him in the chest with my other hand and say “well, I suppose.” With sarcasm dripping from my words. I lean in to kiss him lightly on the cheek and them pull away to smell the rose. He laughs and replies “good, I’m going to go put this in some water; almost ready?” I nod my head and grab my black clutch and through my lip gloss and cell phone into it.

I walk out of my bathroom and into the living room where Ryan and Dylan are casually talking by the bar. I smile and go to find Sarah. She’s where I thought she would be, in her bathroom. I poke my head in, making sure I made a lot of noise with my feet so that she wouldn’t get scared. “Hey, almost ready?” I asked her as I took the flat iron out of her hands to help get the back of her hair. She smiles great fully and says “Yep. Just have to finish my makeup and then we can hit the road.”  I smile and reply “Okay, awesome.” After I finish straightening her hair I pull the plug out of the wall and place it on the counter. She looks at me and takes my hand, oh great this is the talk I have been waiting for her to do. She cleared her throat and looked into my eyes “So…” she started “I was wondering about your thoughts about Luke being at the place tonight and the wedding…”

She intently looked into my eyes looking for any signs of emotion. I hide my emotions well and she didn’t find anything but boredom. I shrug out of her hands and turn to the mirror checking my hair like I didn’t have a care in the world. “I don’t know. I’m fine with it obviously. I’m with Bryan now, I don’t even think of Luke anymore.” Which is a total lie and she knows it. She just rolled her eyes and said “How do I look?” Changing the subject, good. I hate him being a topic. I look her up and down and whistle. “You look hot!” She laughed and grabbed her clutch. Which is red and her dress is a white lace summer dress and she’s wearing red ballet flats. We all pile up in the Bryan’s car since its Rolls Royce and has plenty of leg room.

We get to the venue where they are having the wedding and having dinner here to, which is awesome since they got Mexican to cater tonight. My favorite. We arrive a little late thanks to me and Sarah, everyone is already here and I take a deep breath as I exist the car. We walk in and I see Luke. My breath catches in my throat, I forgot how breath taking he is. He just commands the room when you walk in, like you don’t have a choice but to look at him. I sigh and grab onto Bryan’s arm and look away from Luke. I hear the minister clear his throat. “Okay, we’re going to do one good run through and then get to that Mexican food!” He laughs and tells us all where to go. All the woman have to line up and go to the back behind two heavy doors, and the men have to stand up with the groom. I do as I’m told and line up behind Carry and Samantha; Sarah’s two sisters; and then Sarah gets behind me and kicks me softly in the butt. I turn around and stick my tongue out at her while the two girls in front of me go.

When it’s my turn I bright red as I realize that I’m going to have to walk out of here with Luke. My eyes flicked over to him by accident and he was staring at me intently. My face turned even redder as I hit where I was supposed to stand at the altar. Our eyes stayed looked on each other the whole time Sarah walked down the aisle and while the minister talked to Ryan and Sarah. I finally pulled my eyes away when Sarah and Ryan walked down the aisle and I walked over to Luke my eyes on the floor and I put my arm through his. My heart was beating really fast and as we made it down the aisle and through the doors he whispered in my ear “can I please talk to you for a minute? I promise it won’t talk too long.” I looked into his deep ocean eyes and nodded my head.
