His Ripple Effect

Chapter 3

It's almost wedding day. Ugh, I hate this! Why is he marrying her? If he would just see that there are other options out there but no he is blinded by her. I guess love is blind. I haven't heard from the mystery man since that day in the coffee shop. He has only texted me to ask what color he should wear. This is a little too weird. I mean this is not me. I don't just find random men and ask them to a wedding. I don't even know his name! He just put his name on my phone as "stalker". Like, come on. I guess I'll have to ask him tomorrow.

Well here goes nothing. I look at myself in the mirror and try to smile without making it too obvious that I'm trying. This day just needs to be over immediately and it's only 8am. The wedding is at 11 and I have to go get ready with the rest of the bridal party. Just have to fake till it till I make it.

Someone knocks on the door. "Come in" I say trying not to cry. Oh good it's my mom. I can tell that this is killing her but she is trying.
"Hey sweetie. So quick question. When is your date getting here? Oh and can I get details please?! Like his name perhaps."
I would love to tell her his name, if I knew it!
"Mom you'll find out later. Today is not about me."
She wraps me in a hug from behind and says "one day it will be. And I promise I'll be happy for real"
I chuckle, because all you can do is laugh. We decide enough is enough and let's go face the music.

The ceremony is about to begin and coffee man is still not here. Ugh I can't believe he is going to flake on me. Let's just make this day even more depressing. We start to make our way one by one down the aisle. As we are wait for the bride to come in, I see him. I immediately feel his eyes on me. That damn pull again. He looks at me and winks. Ugh why am I blushing. I decide to break eye contact and focus on the bride. But I keep gazing back at him. His eyes don't leave me even for a second. Man this guy is weird but I'm oddly intrigued.

After the ceremony, he glided his way over to me. Like he is an angel. He looks at me up and down while biting his lip. Why is that so attractive?! "You look gorgeous" he finally states. "Thanks. You look good too. Again thanks for coming."
He smiles, "anytime. So what now?"
I look around "right now I have to go do pictures. But man am I starving."
He looks at me like he is so hungry he might just eat me. "Come on" he says as he grabs my hand and pulls me outside.
I try to fight him but he pushes me into the car. "Don't worry you'll be back for pictures. But I can't let my girl be hungry."
Did he just say "my girl"? Who? Me? No way.
I snap back to reality as he tells one of his bodyguards "Freddy's down the road"
I look at him. How does he know that's my favorite?
He catches me looking at him, "what?"
"Sorry just how did you know that's exactly what I need right now."
He chuckles, "I know it's not good for you but I love it and I only get it when I'm in town. I just assumed that was ok. It is ok right?"
I laugh, "yes it's ok"

In our tux and gown, we make it inside and start to eat. How do I eat a cheese burger without looking like a hungry hippo? This can't look pretty to him. But as I look up, he is staring at me. "What?" I finally say to him.
"It's real sexy watching you eat. I can't wait to have that mouth on my cock"
I choke and cough on my burger. "What?"
He ignores my question and hands me my drink "here take a sip"
We go back to eating and are silent the rest of the time. I don't even know what to say as my brain tries to process what he just said. He said that right? I'm not just making that up in my head? Wait why would I make that up? No I'm not falling for his act. No.

After we eat, we head back to the church for pictures. The whole ride he has his hand on my knee. It's making my mind wander. Every time I look over at him, he is stone cold with that sly little smile like his knows that his hand on my knee is driving me wild.
