Tainted Love {sequel to The Player}

37- Wedding day

FYI This chapter works well with sad music. It's makes it much more emotional.

Avery

*Three months later (Wedding Day)*

I stood there. Figuring out on what to wear. I didn't necessarily want to attend this wedding, but Cameron's words 'you better not ruin it' kept cycling throughout my mind. You think I'd actually listen to him? Of course I was going to ruin it. He deserves everything that is coming his way.

I decided on a black maxi shirt, and a lacy white top. It wasn't that fancy for a wedding ceremony, but I wasn't aiming on impressing anyone. In fact, I was aiming for a lot of hatred tonight. I felt so care free, and very rebellious. I didn't care what anyone would think of me. I know Gina would be proud.

I slipped into my outfit of the day, and straightened my long brown hair. Adding a bit of makeup and away I went. Before I went to the wedding, I dropped Olivia off at my parents, and told them I was going to a party.

As I walked into the church, I was immediately greeted by a lot of elders. People I've seen and people I've never seen before. When people asked me who I was, I lied and told them that I was Cameron's friend. I didn't want to give them my whole identify, so I just lied.

As I finished off greeting people in the crowded space, I turned the corner, running into a tall, firm figure. The scent of their misty cologne lingered in the air, and it seemed almost recognizable.

I gazed up their tall body, until my eyes met the familiar chocolate brown eyes of someone I never expected to run into.

"Noah?!" I ask, making sure it was actually him. A smile was drawn across the both of our faces, and I couldn't help but lean in and hug him.

"Avery!" He cheers, swooping down and engulfing me into his arms. He lifted me up, causing my feet to be lifted off of the floor. "It's been so long, how have you been?" Noah asks, setting me back down on the floor, and stepping back.

As he steps back, I couldn't help but smile at how amazingly handsome he looked. He was dressed in a nice tuxedo, with a red tie running down his neck. His hair was gelled to the side and he practically looked just like he did five years ago. Except with a little bit of facial hair.

"I'm good, how about yourself?" I ask, beginning to brew up a conversation.

"I'm good, I'm here with my beautiful wife". Noah says, looking into the crowd and attempting to look for someone.

"Wife?!" I ask surprised. "I never knew you got married". I kind of felt saddened, not knowing that he got married.

"Yeah I do". He smiles, grabbing a woman's hand and pulling her to his side. As she looked up at me, my mouth dropped for the second time today.

"Jordyn!" I squealed, throwing my arms up. Jordyn's face brightens up, and a smile crept it's way onto her face. She immediately ran into my arms, pulling me closer to her.

The sweet smell of her rosy perfume made its way to my nose, fulfilling my senses and bringing memories to my mind. I missed our old conversations, and our old friendship. Every since Cameron left me, I switched schools and I've never spoken to Jordyn or Noah since.

As we pulled away, the imagery of her joyful smile and glossy eyes was memorized in my mind. She still had the perfect hair, and her shimmering brown eyes. She still looked stunning.

"I missed you guys so much!" I said, trying hardly not to burst into tears of happiness. This was so emotional.

"I missed you too". They both said together in sync.
