Only a Kiss

*Fred's POV*

Things were supposed to be easier once school was done. There was supposed to be no more drama with mine and Sin's relationship. We had gotten past the biggest hurdle possible. Things were supposed to be smooth sailing.

They're not.

First of all I thought Sin and I would have been married by now. I was serious when I said I wanted to marry her the moment we were done with school. Yet she kept putting it off. It was so frustrating. She was ready to marry Diggory literally five days after school ended.

Sure she was under a love potion when she decided that, but I kind of thought that's what we would do. But then we got so busy getting the shop ready and then opening the shop and hiring employees.

Vice truly took a lot of stress off of us. She was a great employee and I was sure that she and George would get along at some point. How could they not? They're so alike!

Then we also hired Annie. I really liked her. She was sweet and funny and she definitely seemed to have a little crush on me which I appreciated but of course would never do anything about. My heart was completely and totally with Sinthia.

I just didn't feel like hers was with me.

"Babe, why aren't we married?" I questioned.

"We're planning the wedding Freddie."

"Are we? We haven't talked about it in ages."

She sighed. "I know babe. It's just we're so busy."

"But I thought we wanted to do this right after school."

"Why do we have to rush it though?" She asked

"Because I love you Sinthia. I want to be married to you." I said. "Do you not want to get married?"

"Fred, of course I do. I just want to do it the right way. I want our wedding to be perfect."

"It will be perfect because we're getting married, babe." I kissed her. "I want nothing more than to be your husband."

"I want nothing more than that too." Sin smiled.

"Then why do you keep pushing it off?"

"Like I said, I want it to be perfect. Because you're perfect and you deserve the best wedding."

I couldn't help but smile. I loved her so much. I wanted her to have a perfect wedding too, so I guess I'd have to wait.

I was shocked out of my mind to find out that George and Vice were seeing each other. I kind of had suspicions but I kind of figured they hate shagged and then left it at that, but they're actually in a relationship.

I wouldn't tell anyone but I was relieved to see George serious about a girl. I couldn't help but wonder if he was still holding out for Sin and was just waiting for the right moment to strike. But it seems that's the furthest thing from his mind.

Now all I had to worry about was Annie. She wasn't being very subtle about her crush on me and was being kind of weird towards Sin. But I was sure she'd get over it soon enough.

After we left Vice's place after Lucian showed up, I wasn't exactly ready to go home yet.

"We should all get drinks." I suggested. "The night is still young."

"That sounds fun." Annie smiled.

"Oh, I'm so tired, why don't you two go?" Sin suggested.

I was surprised that she was okay with me hanging out with Annie. But she and I have been through so much, we trust each other more than anything. She knows I would never have feelings for Annie.
