Ten years later ~

Iman Denise Harriott

And that was the last time that I had saw Alistair again until now at Mariah's and Hugo's baby shower. I mean we spoke briefly at their wedding and we work in similar industries, but properly interacting wise...ten years it has been.

I can remember that night so well and that's because I stupidly went to go and kiss him. It wasn't even like a "I miss you kiss", it was a "in the moment" type of kiss.

I was going to run away after we broke away out of fear, but I literally had finally accepted his apology and I'm trying to be mature. I had to just stand ten toes on the decision I made and firm it.

Anyways, moving on from those thoughts, I didn't know Hugo was still close to Alistair like that. Like I knew they were still in contact, but I didn't know they were bros to a point that Alistair came over to help set up the baby shower.

"I really like that she chose this theme..." I spoke proudly to Dimitri, at the freshly baked animal cut biscuits from the oven

"I like them too, should we decorate them?" He questioned

We both made a look to each other...

"Nah!" We both said in unison, knowing if we tried, we'd fuck it up

"It would've looked like a horror movie had happened, if we even tried"

"No you're right..." Dimitri agreed "Are you excited to be the new god parents for Mariah and Hugo's child?" He asked, changing the subject of conversation

"I think they chose well-" I sassed "-but in all honesty, I'm really excited to see their bundle of joy and be apart of their life as much as they are as parents. What about you?" I added

"I'd say I'm mixed with nervousness and excitement"

"Nervousness? How comes?" I questioned

"I'm planning on asking Jasmine to Marry me and we've also been thinking of starting a family so I want to make sure I can be the best god parent to their child, so I can be the best father and husband ever"

I cocked my head and stopped everything that I was doing, hearing the confession that came out of Dimitri's mouth.

"Marry?...Family?...have you got the ring for her as yet? Can I see the ring?" I sprouted out with questions from my mouth

"Yes, yes, not as yet and when I get Jasmine her perfect ring, then you can" Dimitri answered all my questions at once

"OMG I'm so excited and happy for you and thank god because I thought you were moving too slow"

"Slow?...really Iman" Dimitri rolled his eyes at me

"I mean I saw you guys happy, you never complained to me about her and vice versa...you ought to settle down with her, plus you're reaching that age..." I teased at the end

"Iman we are one year apart, if I'm not mistaken, you are also reaching 'that age' too" Dimitri empathised

"I actually just came out of a relationship with my ex fiancé, so that doesn't count" I pointed out

"Whatever you say Iman"

"Iman?" I heard a familiar voice call out my name and it was no other than Alistair

He had a big barrel shaped ice bucket in his hand, and I'm guessing he was heading to the garden through the kitchen to place it there.
