A Less Than Average Romance

Chapter 17: He's Back

  "Dexter! You're alive!" Andrea screamed. She ran to Dexter and gave him a tight hug, but Dexter kept his eyes on Daniel and I. Once I heard Dexter call my name, I broke away from Daniel and looked at him with surprise.
   "Why wouldn't I be?" Dexter turned to Andrea.
  "Well, you went missing.  And we didn't know if you died, or got kidnapped, or-or" Andrea worried.
   "Got cold feet." I interrupted.
  "Well, I was happy and ready to marry you. But I guess when I step out for a little bit, you start kissing my brother. Who, I thought you hated! So, no. I'm fine and you don't need to worry about me, Anastasia."
  "I thought you went missing! So, don't be blaming me! You would've done the same thing with Andrea!" I screamed at Dexter. Now, I was out of Daniel's grasp, and Dexter was out of Andrea's. We were both screaming at each other, while Daniel and Andrea watched us.
  "No I wouldn't! I would have been devastated, not cheating on my missing wife, with her best friend! And what are you talking about 'going missing' I went to pick up your  wedding ring from the jewelers, because" He took the ring from his pocket, "I wanted something inscribed on the inside, as a surprise present." He showed me the ring. In side it said, I will love you forever Anna. Dexter + Anna = Love Forever

  It was sort of cliché and cheesy, but it meant something to me. 
  "But I guess, now that I see you and Daniel here have started to enjoy my 'disapperence' I guess I'll just be on my way." Dexter started to walk out of the room.
  I grabbed Dexter's arm, "Wait."
"What do you possibly want?" He turned to me.
  "The Jewelers isn't 30 minutes away. I couldn't have taken you 30 minutes to go there and back. Where did you go? Did you go to a strip club? Huh? Did you find any woman on the streets of Chicago and say, What the hell? I'm getting married today, might as well have one more time to enjoy myself without Anastasia on my back? Huh? Huh?" I walked closer and closer to Dexter my hands balling into fists.
  "Wh-what? You know, yes, I did cheat on you! I cheated on you before our wedding, because I wanted to make out with one more woman before I got married to a whore!"
  "I knew it! I knew it! I knew every time you said I love you to me, you didn't mean it! You were probably just trying to get my aunt's money?! And the fact you call me a whore, is, is," I could no longer take it. I knew something was going on. All those late nights at 'work'. Pssshhh.... Liar. Before I could do anything,  Daniel couldn't take it and ran past me, and punched Dexter in the face.  Dexter stumbled backwards and said, "You motherfucker." He wiped his bloody nose with his sleeve and ran for Daniel. 

I ran out of the way to Andrea, who was wide-eyed while watching all of this happen. Dexter ran into Daniel, and Daniel flew back knocking into a mirror shattering the glass. 

"Stop! Stop!" I screamed. 

Daniel stood up, glass in his arms and hands, he looked at me, "It'll be fine.  After I take care of shitface here, we'll get some ice cream. Okay?"

"Okay." I said. "Can Andrea come?"

"Sure. Now," He turned back to Dexter, "Let's go bitch." 

 "Finally, I've been waiting long enough," Dexter threw his jacket to me, "Hold this for me baby,"                          "Don't call me baby." I refused to hold his jacket, so once he tossed it to me, I threw it to the ground.

   "Fine, fine." He held his hands up in defeat.

  "Come on, pound his face in!" Andrea yelled out of nowhere.

    "No one is pounding anyone's face in right now." A voice from the doorway called.  

  Everyone turned to the doorway.

It was Danni.

Why is she here? She was disinvited to my wedding.

A lot of people that aren't invited to my wedding show up.
