In love with my best friend

Reception

I watched Adams mouth as it formed the words "I do" after that Nicole did the same. It felt like slow motion when the priest said; "you may now kiss the bride"

Adam grabbed ahold of Nicole's face and leaned in, kissing her on the lips. I looked away, catching Zack's blue orbs. He raised his hands, starting to clap with the rest of the room. Everyone cheering for them. A few minutes passed and Adam and Nicole waved at everyone, running down the isle towards the limo to go to the reception. Zack approached me, distracting me from watching Adams and Nicole's smiling faces, they were happy.

"On to the reception?" He asks, holding his arm out so that I can link it with his. "Ya, but let's go to one of the back rooms so I can change out of this ratchet dress." I mutter, referring to the ugly, short, pink dress I was forced to wear. "As you wish." He chuckled, guiding us out the main part of the church, towards one of the back rooms I originally changed in. He walked in the room with me, closing the door behind us.

I grabbed the extra clothes I had brought with me. "Unzip me?" I ask Zack. He nods. I turn around, moving my hair away from my back. I feel him slowly unzip the dress, the dress making a "zzzzzzzzz" sound. After he had fully unzipped the dress I felt him kiss the back of my neck, making me shiver a little. I couldn't help but giggle. I turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"We're in a church." I point out, making him chuckle in response. "If only we weren't." He shakes his head. "Turn around so that I can change." I say to him making him laugh and turn around. I quickly get out of the dress and change into some skinny jeans and a white shirt with gray cardigan . "You can turn around now." I say, folding the dress neatly and laying it on a near by chair.

I slip on my black heals , taking out the fake pink flower in my hair and setting it on top of the dress. I grab my bag and turn towards Zack. "How do I look?" I ask. "Maybe we can leave the reception early?" He asks, snaking his arms around my waist. "Maybe." I wink. I was unsure why exactly I wasn't breaking down in tears, but apart of me felt like it was because of Zack.

We arrived at the beautiful reception, there were so many people. It was hard for me to spot Adam and Nicole, but a huge part of me felt like it was best that I didn't even try to approach them. Instead me and Zack sat far away from them, on one of the tables in the way back. Katie and her husband sat next to us, all of us laughing, talking about stupid stuff and old stories.

I was honestly surprised on how cool I was acting, because inside I was pained. The guy I was in love with just got married, and it hurt. But talking to everyone at the table and laughing together distracted me. Not only that but Zack's occasional sexy stares and remarks kept me occupied, awaiting on what exactly he had in "mind" for tonight. I wasn't sure if it meant sex for us or something but we were getting close.

Our relationship was growing, maybe it was growing too fast. I was already about to move to Manhattan with him in a few months. It was overwhelming but at the same time it felt comforting, knowing I had something to look forward to. That I wouldn't be sitting around feeling like crap because Adam had just gotten married, which I probably would be doing if I didn't have Zack, who I actually think I was falling for.

I couldn't help but stare at him. The way he laughed, the way he smiled. His dimples going inward every time he did smile. The way he bit his lip went he thought. The way he rubbed the back of his neck when he was nervous. He was perfect.
