Who Would Of Thought?

Prologue

It all began at a wedding. Nick had gone to his college friends wedding that he truly didn't want to go to. Veronique had insisted on attending since she wanted to met her long time boyfriend's friends. She also just wanted to give Nick the hint that she was waiting for him to propose.

It was boring for Nick. He never really liked Fred. He was the typical frat boy yet he was now getting married which was odd. The only entertaining thing of the wedding was Aaron who was the photographer.

Then he saw him. He couldn't take his eyes off the raven haired man. He was DJing and there was something about the man that interested Nick.

While Veronique was in the bathroom he walked up to Aaron. He tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.

"Hey bro. What's up?" Aaron asked.

"You know who that is?" Nick pointed at the mystery man who was taking a sip from a glass that most likely was filled with alcohol.

"I don't know. I'm just taking pictures" Nick sighed as his friend walked away.

Veronique still wasn't back from the restroom so Nick decided to take a chance. He walked through the dancing couples to be by the booth.

"Hey" the man said as he moved the headphone from his left ear. "You have a request?"

"Uh no" Nick was so distracted by his blue eyes. They were just so stunning. He could get lost in them forever.

"Is there a problem?" He asked.

"No" Nick laughed awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry. I'll just go" Nick stated to walk away but was stopped.

"I'm Zak" Nick turned around and looked at the man. "Thought that might be why you came over for"

"I'm Nick" They shook hands and Nick didn't know what to do. Something about Zak's stare gets his palms to sweat.

"Well it's nice to meet you, Nick. I think your girlfriend is looking for you" Zak said smiling.

"My what?" Zak pointed and Nick turned to see Veronique looking around for him. "Oh yeah" He knows he should walk away but he just couldn't.

"You should go have a seat. The first dance is gonna happen soon" Zak told him.

"Yeah. Okay. It was nice talk to you" Zak smiled and nodded his head. Nick walked away feeling like a complete idiot.

"Do you know him?" Veronique said to Nick as they sat down.

"No. I was just talking to him since Aaron is busy" That was partially true. Nick didn't know the other half of the truth since he didn't know himself. He didn't take his eyes off Zak the whole night and Veronique took note of it.

Nick was sitting by himself while his girlfriend went to talk to the bride. He was so tired. He had to be friendly to people he used to call friends. He just wanted to go home.

"You could of just bought me a drink" Nick turned around to see Zak.

"It's an open bar" Nick stated.

"True" The shorter man sat down next to Nick. "I just couldn't help but notice you staring at me the whole night"

Nick laughed nervously which amused Zak for some reason. "Yeah?"

"Yeah" Zak smiled and Nick wanted to make him smile all the time. "So how do you know the married couple?"

"Uh, I went to college with Fred. I was honestly surprised when I got an invite to this thing"

"Yeah. You seemed out of your comfort zone here" Zak said.

"I don't enjoy weddings. They just seem so stupid. Spending all this money for just one ridiculous night. I get that you're gonna be with this person the rest of your life, but is it necessary to do all these stupid traditions" Zak smiled as he listened to Nick rant.

"I feel the same way. Weddings are pretty dumb yet I need them to make money"

"I thought you would be getting job offers left and right. I mean we're in Vegas" Nick said.

"Yeah. It's actually a lot harder then you would think. I don't even want to do this for a living" Zak told him.

"What do you want to do then?" Nick asked.

"I don't know. I mean no one ever really knows what they want to do. It's always one thing then another" Nick nodded in perfect agreement.

"I totally get what you're saying. I went through all kinds of jobs till I realized cinematography is what I love"

"You work on movies?" Zak was surprised. He didn't think that would be the man's career.

"Yeah. Well short films. Nothing special" Nick felt a little embarrassed. He didn't really think his work was that great.

"I bet they're something special" Nick got lost in Zak's ocean blue eyes once again. No one really thought his work was greet, not even V. It was nice that someone likes his work even though he hasn't watch any.

"Hey babe" Nick snapped out of his thoughts and looked to his right to see Veronique sitting down. "You are?" She looked directly at Zak.

"No one. It was nice talking to you, Nick. Here" He pulled out his wallet and handed Nick a business card. "I hardly give my card away, but just in case you two have an event. Have a nice night"

Nick watched as the stunning man walked away, completely ignoring his girlfriend going on about God knows what.

Later that week he called Zak and, to this day, he's glad he made that choice.
