Why? Why did the one man that you chose to love have to love somebody else?
He brought you along to be fitted for his tux and everything. It was all a giant stab to you heart.
His soon to be wife was beautiful, and you know that he loved her with all of him that he had.
He has every reason to be happy. You've never come clean with your feelings for him.
A hand on your shoulder brings you out of your thoughts, and you turn to see Seth. He was the only one who knew about your feelings for Roman. "Are you okay?"
"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" You ask him, and he looks into your sad eyes. "It's his day."
"He has no idea he's marrying the wrong woman." Seth tells you, and you shrug your shoulders. "He loves you."
"I know he does. I just wish it was enough." You tell him, and both you and Seth are unaware that Roman was behind you.
"What is that supposed to mean?" You hear Roman's voice, and you tense up. You turn around to face him, and his eyebrows are furrowed. His jaw tense, and hands squeezed into fists.
"Um, Seth, could you give us a minute please?" You ask him, and he nods, walking away quickly.
"You look very handsome." You tell Roman, trying to relieve the tension. "I'm so happy for you."
"Those tears are telling me different." He says, and steps toward you, wiping them off gently. "Why would me loving you not be enough? Why are you sad on what's supposed to be the happiest day of my life?"
You look down at your feet, and take a deep breath before looking back up at him. "I need to tell you something, and you're going to hate me." You tell him, and he drags his hand down your arm until he reaches your hand.
"I could never hate you. You're my best friend." He tells you. His voice was low, and calm.
"Roman, you're my everything." You start out saying. "And I don't mean that in a friend way."
His fingers lace through yours as you continue to talk. "All I want is for you to be happy, and to be honest if you didn't over hear me then I probably would never have told you."
"The truth is I'm in love with you, and I have been for years. I've been too scared to tell you because I was scared. Scared that you wouldn't feel the same. Scared that you would remove yourself from my life, but now I'm scared because you're getting married, and going to start a family."
He remains silent, and you know your palm is sweating against his, but he hasn't moved. "You're right, I am getting married today. I'm supposed to go in there, and wait for her to walk down the aisle to me."
"Then I guess you better go." You tell him, and try to release your hand from his when he holds it tighter.
"It's my wedding day, Y/N." He says, and your heart is aching. "Why did you decide to tell me this on today of all days?"
"I'm sorry I-"
"Tell me how I'm supposed to go in there, and piss off every single person waiting for me to say I do when the one person I've dreamed about saying it to is not the one in the wedding dress today?"
He looks deep into your eyes. You're shocked to say the least. "Baby girl,do you even know how hard it was to shove my feelings away to attempt to move on? And yet here you are saying the exact words I've wanted you to say to me for fucking years."
Now, you're both crying. "You have no idea how much I fucking love you." He says, and Seth comes back out.
"Roman, they're ready for you." He tells him, and Roman looks between the two of you. "You told him?"
You nod, and Seth smiles and starts clapping. "Alright, you two get out of here. I'll figure this out here."
"Seth, I can't have you do that." Roman says, and Seth shakes his head.
"No. You don't know how many times she's stained my clothes with her tears about you." Seth says, causing you to laugh. "Go. We'll talk later."
He runs back inside, and Roman turns to you before tugging you outside and into his car.
He starts it, and reaches over to grab your chin, crashing his lips to yours. His lips felt so right against yours. "I love you."
"I love you." You tell him, and he pecks your lips once more before you both drive off into the sunset.
