CH 3 The Wedding

"Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart." - Frank Warren

Adrain's POV--- His car pictured above

I look in the mirror trying to fix a perfect knot in my tie for the wedding. I can't believe Greyson is getting married today. I can't believe I'm the only person out of all my brothers who doesn't have a date. Even Avery who hasn't had a boyfriend in forever is going with Nicki's son Mischa. I haven't meet him yet but I remember Angel saying the kid moved in with them a couple weeks ago.

I still can't believe Angel is with some older sophisticated man. My older brother was always the wild child in the family he didn't go to college and left home at eighteen giving both my parents minor heart attacks worrying about him. And their worrying was for good reason Angel has been in and out of trouble more times than I can remember. I still can't fathom why He is finally settling down and it's seems this one might be for the long haul.

That leaves me and Avery as last two single Flores. All our brothers and cousins seem to have settled down and started family's. I wonder if Avery is going to try to pull the same move with Mischa leaving me the last single Flores.

I myself have no desire to settle down anytime soon. I just finished my last year of college I decided to get a degree in sports medicine while I was there on a football scholarship. I'm still deciding if I want to work with my brother Alex when the summer ends. He is the varsity football head coach at the local high school. He said he would see what he could do to get me on staff for the next school year.

That leaves me with this summer free. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without school and football. It's been eight years since I haven't had summer practices and double work out days to fill my summers.

I'm actually really excited to be done with college and football. My schedule is rather grueling between mandatory work outs, practice, then games it's hard to have time for class much less socializing. I know my family thinks of me as the shy one. That's not really the case when I was younger I just felt like I had to hide the real me. Now I'm mostly to exhausted to be life of the party like Avery and Angel and I guess old habits die hard.

Sometimes being the quite one does play to my advantage. People forget I'm around and say or do things in front of me that shows me the real them. Sometimes I am able to observe people before I even introduce my self because they don't really see me until I go out of my way to be seen. I have grown to like it this way.

I finish the knot in my tie and turn off my iPad. I was watching a YouTube tutorial on how to tie the damn thing for over thirty minutes. I put some gel in my brown hair and style it quickly so I won't be late. I can't help but grab the picture I have my mirror and turn it around. I stare at it for only moment before I put it back with the white backing facing me. I gently run my fingers across it and turn off the light.

I grab my suite coat on my way out the door of Angels old condo. I still can't believe he is letting me finish out his lease. I have only ever lived in the tiny dorms at school with a roommate. I'm not quite sure what to do with all this freedom besides walk around naked which I do a lot.

I get in my car to head to the wedding. I love my car probably more than I should but she's my baby a classic 1972 Chevy Chevelle. I just finished working under her hood a couple months ago and now she rumbles like a classic should. It took a lot of time to get her just right but it was worth it. I guess time alone in the garage working on her suited me. I actually kind of miss tinkering under a hood. I might pick up another car to work on now that This one is done and I actually have my own garage and don't have to use my parents anymore.

I pull up and park at Greyson and Blaine's house were the are having the intimate wedding. I know Greyson wanted a big wedding but Blaine talked him into close family and friends. I'm so happy for little Grey he really serves to be happy and start the family he has always wanted.
