"Do you need anything else?" I asked Finn.
"No, thanks for your time."
"If you need anything else, come and ask me." I smiled.
"Sure. Thanks again. Now, excuse me." He nodded before walking out of the door to find Elliot right in front of him. "Uh- hey, sir."
"Hi, Finn. How's work?" His tone is so boring!
"It's good. Now, excuse me." He repeated openning the door further for Elliot to step in before he walks out.
"Linda asked me to give you this." He shrugged handing me an envelope.
"What's that?"
"She'll get married tomorrow, and we'll make a small party at home. She wants you to join us."
"She?"
"Yes. Linda." He nodded.
"I mean- just Linda?" I narrowed my eyes.
"What do you think?" He raised a brow.
"I don't know." I shrugged. "Anyway, congrats."
"Will you come?"
"I'll see what I can do." I shrugged again.
"What did Finn want?"
"He wanted me to help him with something. That's all. Any more questions?" I sighed.
"No." He shook his head stepping out.
God! I just want to kick him down there!
--------
"Are you sure you wanna go when you're not on good terms?" Christina asked following me out.
"Linda is such a great person. I have to go. Plus, it's not a fight or anything." I shrugged.
"Should we go?" Harry asked not taking his eyes off the television.
"I'll go." I shrugged.
"No, it's dark outside."
"Harry, I return everyday from work at the same time." I rolled my eyes.
"I'll drive her then go to the market to get some groceries."
"Yeah, sure." He rolled his eyes getting up. "Come on, we'll drive you then go get the groceries." He sighed picking up his keys.
"Fine." I sighed walking out with them following.
"Take care, babe." He told Christina.
"Okay." She nodded as we followed him to the car.
-
"Here's the house." I pointed out.
"Okay, call me when you need to go back home." Harry repeated.
"Christina, give him something to stop talking too much." I teased making her giggle.
"Nothing's working."
"Well, get out of the car." He rolled his eyes playfully.
"Fine." I giggled stepping out and past the gates.
"Hey, Dareen." The familiar voice of Elliot's mother was the first to drag my attention.
"Hey, you look pretty." I smiled.
"You too, sweetheart. Elliot is inside getting a drink." She winked.
"Where's the bride?" I smiled.
"She's getting ready."
"Okay, I'll see Elliot. Excuse me."
Walking inside their house, the sound of my heels became clearer just like Elliot's voice.
"I don't know, Mark." He shook his head as I knocked on the kitchen's door.
"Did I cut you off?" I peeked in.
"Just on time, excuse me." Mark chuckled winking at Elliot before walking out.
"You made me wait a lot." Elliot smiled holding my hand.
"I came here just for Linda." I shrugged.
"Should I be offended?" He raised a brow.
"Yeah, I think so." I giggled as he wrapped his arm around me pulling me in front of him.
"You get too harsh when it comes to me. The last couple of days were shitty." He whispered snuggling his face in my neck.
"You do the same with me. It's time to taste your own medecine." I giggled.
"Liar." He whispered, "you're the only one I get weak with. You're special." He smiled pecking my lips. "You're so pretty tonight." He pulled back admiring my long, blue dress.
"Just tonight?" I teased making him chuckle.
"You're always pretty."
"Elliot-" Ethan stepped in, but stopped in his tracks when he saw me sandwiched between Elliot and the counter. "Sorry. I thought you were alone." He said awkwardly as Elliot stepped away from me.
"It's fine. What's wrong?" He smiled approaching his brother.
"Linda's ready. You should go to walk her downstairs."
"Alright." He nodded turning to me. "Come with me." He smiled taking my hand.
"Okay." I whispered taking my purse.
"Linda." He smiled stepping in the room. She was wearing a knee-length white dress and very simple make up.
"My boy," She grinned pulling him in a hug.
"Dareen is here to say hi." He pulled me by the waist next to him.
"Congratulations. I'm so happy for you." I smiled giving her a hug.
"I want to tell you the same, soon." she teased.
"I wish." He chuckled kissing my temple making me blush furiously.
"C'mon, let's go." He motioned for her to link her arm with his, and she did as they walked out with me following them down the stairs.
On the last step, her groom was waiting patiently.
Everyone was cheering when we came to full view. It feels good to be around the people you love the most just to share with them your happy moments. As much as I say I'm still young and not ready to get married or something, I am wishing that this day would come quickly.
"Take care of my lady." Elliot chuckled wrapping his arm around her.
"She's my lady, now." Joseph teased as Elliot kissed the top of her head.
"Oh, they're fighting over me." She giggled making me laugh lightly as I wrapped my arm round Elliot's waist.
"Love you." I whispered as he kissed my temple.
He's not happy, I can feel it. He's happy for Linda, but it's not easy to let her go.
"C'mon, boy." I giggled pulling him to the garden where everyone was dancing.

"Oh, it was a lovely night." I smiled as he stopped the car.
"Yeah, thank you for forgiving me. I know that I'm a pain in the ass sometimes, but-"
"Most of the times, actually." I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Oh really?" He raised a brow. "Then there's no goodbye kiss for you."
"Okay, that's because you'll stay with me tonight." I smiled.
"I don't know if that's a good idea." He sighed. "I don't want to leave Ethan alone."
"Here we go again." I rolled my eyes. "You know I won't force you to stay. Just do whatever you want."
Openning the door, I stepped out of the car.
"Dareen, not again." He whined stepping out as well.
"I'm tired of this. He's just ruining our relationship. I feel like he's your ex girlfriend for fuck's sake! It is not normal that I feel jealous of him!"
"Jealous of my brother?" He rolled his eyes.
"You know what is 'your brother' to me." I snapped pulling away from him.
"Wa-wait." He sighed nearly pinning me against the car. "I know that I am such a horrible boyfriend-"
"You're not. Go back home, I don't want to feel selfish." I sighed walking past him and to the front door.
"What's wrong?" I frowned at the sound of Christina crying.
Ringing the bell, I waited for harry to open the door for me.
In no time, he opened on the door.
"What's wrong?" I walked inside to find her body covered in sweat.
"The baby's kicking." Harry sighed.
"Did your water break?" I asked her, and she shook her head holding my hand tightly.
"You need to take a hot shower. It doesn't look like it's labor, yet. Harry, will you be able to help her?" I turned to him.
"Yeah." He nodded running to the bathroom prepare everything.
"Keep your legs straight." I sighed.
"Where's Elliot?"
"He wanted to stay with his brother, and honestly, I don't give two shits." I rolled my eyes as Harry stepped out.
"Come, baby." He whispered helping her up.
"I'll change till you finish." I sighed walking out and to my own flat.
Turning my head to the side, I saw Elliot sitting on a stair.
"I was waiting for you." He said awkwardly as I pushed my door open to find Picky running to me.
"Come in." I smiled faintly.
"What were you doing?"
"Christina is not okay. I was going to change then check on her."
"What about, now?" He smiled pulling me closer.
"Now, you'll take Picky for a walk till I check on Christina then, the night is ours." I winked.
