Analia POV

'How about this one?' I ask pointing at a beautiful royal blue dress. I can just imagine Rachael wearing this. Looking extremely gorgeous. 'Ohh I like that'.

"Jayden will love this" she smiles, ear to ear. "Yeah I agree. Go on then, try it on" I say pushing her into the changing room.

I turn around as she closes the door to change. I look myself in the mirror and take a deep breath. I really want this wedding to be perfect for Rachael. She has no one but me and I have no one but her. Well I do but they don't want me. I cringe at the thought of that night.

Rachael steps out and spins. "You like it" she asks. "I love it re" I say as I go up to her and hug her. "We're buying this for you. I don't care".

After we payed, we get in the car as I start driving. We kept talking until Rachael's phone starts ringing.
"It's Jayden" she says before putting the phone on speaker.
"Hey babe, hey Anal" he practically yells. I roll my eyes and smile at the nickname he has given me.

"Hey JayJ, can't live a day without my best friend, eh?" I tease.
He chuckles and replies "know you I get worried when you drive my baby around" Rachael starts laughing while I smile.
"Are you questioning my driving skills?" I ask as I look over at Rachael, who is dying with laughter. I hope she never stops laughing like this.

As I look back on the road, my eyes widen and I scream. I close my eyes and wait for the other to hit me. But nothing happens. Me and Rachael look at each other and take a breath of relief. I get out the of the car as Rachael is telling Jayden everything is fine. I walk over to the other car to apologize to the driver but before I get a chance to, the driver gets out.

I stop in my tracks. Never in my life have I seen someone so beautiful. As I'm staring at him, I forget about the world. The was he's walking. His black suit. I look up at his face and frown. He's pissed. Beyond pissed. If that's possible. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now.

He stops right in front of me and suddenly I'm struggling to breath. His perfume mixed with cigarettes, so strong that I might faint.

I keep staring at him and he raises his eyebrow expecting me to say something.
Get your act together Analia. I clear my throat before speaking "look, I'm so sor-"

"Seriously? you're gonna throw the sorry card at me? Are you seriously kidding me? If you weren't so careless, this wouldn't have happened" he points to the tiny scratch on his beautiful car.

I take a deep breath, trying to control my anger. "but I am saying sorry. Am I not?"

"We could've died" he says louder this time.
What the actual fućk?
"You know what whatever. I'm not sorry. Screw you" I say pissed now. As I'm about to turn around, he grabs my arm and turns me back to face him.

"Listen here, you little-" he gets interrupted by Rachael.
"Zayn? is that you?" She says as she walks towards us. That guy let go of me and turn to Rachael.
"Rach?" He says. She nods and they both smile and than hug. Am I missing something?
Rachael turns to me. "Oh Analia, this is Zayn and Zayn this is Analia, he's Jayden's best friend". I force a smile then turn on my heels and leave without another word.

I don't care if he thinks I'm rude. He's the rude one. I get back in my car and wait for re. He was hot but rude. That's just makes him hot rudy. What the hell is wrong with me?

After God knows how long, re gets back in the car with a huge smile. "great guy isn't he?" she asks as I roll my eyes. "Sure" I say. No he's not. He rude. Arrogant and beautiful. And that's annoying.
"What? You don't like him?" Re asks, confused. I shrug. Of course I don't. He's everything I hate. I only talked to him for 2 minutes and I already hate him. He's bad news. Hope he doesn't come to the wedding.

"You know, he's coming to the wedding" she says and I can't help but say "why. Tell him not to".
She chuckles "I can't. He has to. He's the best man after all".

Great. Just great.

Whatever. As long as I don't get in his way. I'll be fine.
