Business & Love

Chapter 11

*THE DRESS AND TUX ONLY. NOT THE COUPLE!!*

Myra

Patrick has been convicted and sentence to 20 years in a maximum security prison. Lately I've been feeling sort of bad, but yet I made the right choice because he was trying to ruin me and my man.

Today is my wedding. I am so excited, I mean we've been planning this day and I can't believe it's finally here. I'm finally marrying Trevor. I have never been so happy in my life.

Diamond stands behind me in a beautiful bridesmaid's dress, which honestly I've never thought she'd wear.

"I can't believe you're marrying, Mr. Booty Grinder from the club." She says laughing.

I look at her confused and think back. I get what she's talking about the point at her and laugh.

"Girl back then he erked my soul. I mean he still do but now, it's just. It's like I love him. So it doesn't bother me as much." I say then shrug. "I don't know, maybe I'm just a sucker for love or something." I say thinking about August Alsina's song.

"I'm just a sucker, a sucker for love, huuuuhhh ohhhaaa." Diamond blurts out trying her hardest to get the lyrics out.

I burst out laughing. "I can't believe you agreed to be my bridesmaid. I never thought I'd see you in a dress." I say looking at her.

"Well 2 years ago, I met the love of my life so I know how it is." She says.

I look up at her. "Oh my, seriously?!?!" I say looking at her eyes and realize she gets that little twinkle in her eyes.

"Yeah he...."

"HE?!?!? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?????" I said shouting.

"Because you always so busy, and getting in contact with you, is like trying to wake a bear during hibernation season. Shit doesn't pan out in the right way." She says smiling.

"You know what ima fight you girl." I say.

I hear a knock on the door as I put on my make-up. I look over to my dress then smiles and just stare at it. The person knocks again and Diamond shakes her head laughing.

"Come in." Diamond says.

A raspy voice rings out which snaps me out of my daze. "Myra..." The person says.

I look over to the person and my mouth drops open. "....Tyrell... what are you doing here?" I ask him.

"I came with a date. Then as I was looking at the program they gave each guest, I noticed your name was..." He looks at the wedding dress. "You're marrying him?" He says asking me the obvious.

"That's what the program says right." I say turning around to the mirror. Diamond walks over and takes the make-up from me and begins applying it to make sure I don't mess up.

"Myra why?" He asks me.

"Why what?" Diamond breaks out and says. "Why is she getting married. Why is she moving on with her life? Why is she finally deciding to be happy? Listen Tyrell you had your chance. You blew it. That's the end of that story. She was in love with you for as long as she could remember and all you did was cross her out." Diamond says going back to applying my makeup

"I didn't know that back then. I mean I knew, but I didn't want to end up ruining our relationship as friends. If we were to break up, then what would happen to our friendship?" Tyrell says taking a step closer.

"We've been friends long enough to know I'm not that type of girl. Plus, I used to love you, but as you can see, today is my wedding and the last thing I need is a fan telling me how much they adore me." I say taking the pins out of my hair and letting it fall.
