Mystery Dates Part 16 (A.I)

ASHTON

The priest began by welcoming everyone into his church and introduced the couple stood before him.  The bridesmaid's stood in a line behind Hanna, their powder blue dresses reminding me of yesterday.  I thought back to the conversation I'd had with Hope.  I wasn't sure when the right time would be to speak to Y/N.

I decided if I had time I'd speak to her before the wedding.  But Michael had made us late by losing his tie.  When I'd seen her with the best man, I realised she did in fact have a date.  I couldn't come in between that now.  She didn't need me coming in and ruining everything.

I'd lost my happiness.  I'd waited too long.  She'd been taken from me without me even realising.  I'd watched as he'd walked her down the aisle, my teeth grinding together.  It should have been me.  I should have been the one walking her down the aisle.  But I'd missed my chance.

She'd leaned into him and he'd whispered something in her ear.  She'd smiled, giggled and looked up into his eyes.  I hadn't missed the connection that was there between them in that simple look.  I wanted to be mad at him, I wanted to hate him.  But he was only doing the thing I should have been doing all along.  He was making her happy.
