My Best Friend/Groom

“But mom, he’s my best friend, how can I marry him?!!” I couldn’t believe my parents and Kirk’s parents arranged for us to get married.

“he doesn’t mind! Why do you? Don’t you like him” Mom asked me as though it was news to her

“Mom, you know full well I love Kirk, but not as a husband, more of a brother I never had”

“Well now I will be getting a son for real and not a make believe one” mom smirked, I was fuming.

Later on.

“How could you agree on such a ridiculous idea, you and me married?? Really do you see us married??” I threw my hands up in the air, waiving like a mad woman.

“Well yes I do see us married, I’m not particulary interested in marriage, but if I marry you, it’ll keep my parents from hooking me up with women I have no interest with, plus I get a best friend for a wife, what a bonus!!”

“Arrgh, you’d say that, I’m not ready for marriage, to you or anybody, so you better find a way to get us out of this, and quick!”

“Me? Why? I actually like the idea; I will not help you sorry!”

Kirk Mckoy, you are getting us out of this hell hole you created, or so help me I will make your life a living hell!”

“Sandy Mae Lindsay, it ain’t happening, you’re marrying me whether you like it or not, you want out, you figure a way to say no to your parents!!”

“You know what, Kirk, I HATE YOU!” I stormed out of his house, like it were catching fire.

That evening.

“Oh sweet heart, I’m so happy to be doing this, I always wanted to be the M.O.B, that’s what the ladies at the country club are calling me, I’ve almost finalized everything for the wedding, all we need now is a proper engagement party and for you two to set a date for the wedding, I’m hoping for late September, so you two can go away for a month and be back in time for Christmas, would that be lovely? I’ll go call Melanie Mckoy and run that idea” before mother ran out of the room she gave me a warm hug and a peck on the cheek.

“Well hell! How can I disappoint mom, she’s been down since she lost her pet Gigi to cancer. I’ve never seen her so hyped up before, but how can I marry that annoying prick!?” I sighed, “this was all his fault!!”
