A friends Brothers wedding

15

"Here's to the lads weekend.. Dan no work talk or emails or calls. Boys weekend" Tom demanded as they chinged the beer bottles together Infront of the bbq that was Smoking

"I need to check it now and again boys come on!" Dan gave that look of seriously it's work he needed to

"No bud come on.." Tom gave that pissed off glare

"What? Isn't that ready yet I'm starving" Luke called from the door way

"Just." dan studied the BBQ

The Sun was shining, sunnies on Dan Briefly pulled his phone out to see if Ali had texted and she had.

"Hey, we here.. You okay? Miss you already! X"

"Hey baby, good. Miss you too.. How the girls? Xx"

Slipping it back in his pocket He swigged his beer, the coldness slipped down nicely.

"How is she?" Tom asked

"Huh?"

"You heard.. I know mate!" Tom stared at the bbq with his full attention

"Fine they are there.."

"Good.. So.. Just happened huh?"

"She wants to keep quiet"

"And you?"

"It don't bother me.. Do others know" awkwardly swinging his beer again

"Nah not as far as I'm aware.. Why the secret mate seriously no need.. Ali is gorgeous and none of us would blame you" without making eye contact he focuses on turning the meat over

"She's amazing.. It just happened when at the wedding.. She's just amazing.."

"Pleased your happy bud! About time" Nodding with agreement

"Yeah I am mate.. she came which I didn't think she would!"

"It's clear to me mate but you guys shouldn't worry about what others think... And if she's worrying about Sarah.. Ill sort her out"

"She just wants to keep it low key for now.."

"Well the girls are getting suspicious!"

"I did wonder when they would catch on.. We don't want no grief.."

"Doubt you'll get any but the lads want to set you up with this girl they know..just a heads up!" Giving him a side glance

"I'm not single so" Dan arrogantly replied with a smirk

"No your not but to them you are!! they don't know about Ali"

"What about Ali?" Ben loudly asked and dab knew now the questions would start

"Umm oh nothing shes just texted and the girls are at spa.. Tom just said trying to be convincing

"Right.. Dude you must be physic coz your phones here" he had this smirk.
Dans Mouth went dry and right then He couldn't think of anything to say at all, He looked at Tom who swiftly replied

"it come on my watch. Apple Watch" lifting his wrist dan felt his heart start beating quickly!

"Of course.. hurry up and get that food dished up and then we can start poker!!" Ben laughed sarcastically

Evening passed just as fast as the beers flowed.. The lodge was quiet except for the lads talking and playing poker.

"Dan we need to set you up its time to not be single" Luke placed a card down

"Thanks but I'm good."

"Your single how's that good.. your wealthy, successful young man, nice car and not bad Looking! he questioned again with a laugh

"Thanks But Seriously I'm good I don't need fixing up" with that my phone started ringing as he placed his cards down

"Sorry boys I'm out.. Hey you.. Yeah I'm alright you? How it going?...... Yeah yeah playing poker and few beers.............. Are you sure your okay... Girls being funny?..... Babe look the boys know they all made comments about us.... No nothing bad. Toms pleased he was like I will sort Sarah out.... Haha yeah.. Babe just tell them they clearly are trying to get you to tell them... Really babe don't stand for it... I know they are your best friends but you need to be happy.... I didn't mean your not happy baby I meant just tell them and we will take them on together yeah... Don't be upset.... It's a couple days I know but just try chill... Yeah I miss you too..Love you... Bye.. Bye baby.."

Sighing as he walked back to the boys from the call He knew they were staring..

"Right anyone for another beer?" Dan rubbed his hands together

"Dan you and Ali are well suited" Luke stared and grinned, looking at the other boys.

"No questions no grief" asking them bluntly

"Nah mate none of us blame you she lovely girl" Luke quickly replied

"Thanks boys... But by sounds of the girls aren't being so supportive" sitting back with them there was no atmosphere like before. Running his hands through his hair feeling anxious because he can't help Ali and the thought if her being upset makes him annoyed!

"Typical girl shit mate.. I will speak to Sarah!" Tom replied

"Right one more game boys Im bullocked " dealing out
