The fake boyfriend (A bethyl story)

Liars

It was later on in the night now about 19:00, the sky was a dark blue filled with spread out shining stars.

The weather was humid and the whole day had been a success.

Me and Daryl were sitting on some posh white chairs crying with laughter at my Dads awful dancing.

I felt a soft pull on my shoulder and turned to see Maggie smiling at me and Daryl.

"Come on guys" Maggie laughed holding out both of her hands for us to grab.

I shook my head and laughed

"Come on it's my wedding please?" Maggie begged pulling her puppy dog eyes that I haven't saw her use since we were kids.

I rolled me eyes whilst standing up and dragged Daryl to the dance floor with me.

It was a fast song so I was okay with just doing random fast dancing.

I was copying everyone else (especially Maggie cause she really can dance really well).

I grabbed both of Daryl's large hands and started swinging them around.

"I think this is the first time I've ever seen you dance, Mr Dixon" I shouted over the music.

"I think this is the first time I've ever danced,Mrs Greene" Daryl laughed.

"Do you like it?"I asked.

"It's okay" Daryl laughed spinning me around under his arm.

When the song had finished;me and Daryl went to go and sit down back in our seats.

"Is it bad I'm already tired?"
Daryl laughed.

"I'm gonna get a drink what do you want?" I asked.

"Just the usual please" Daryl gruffed.

Over at the stretched out bar I unfortunately saw Liam sitting on a stool.

"You having a good time?" I asked attempting to make this awkward atmosphere less awkward....

"Suppose" Liam replied swirling the black straw around in his half empty drink.

There was a long silent pause....

"Can I speak to you about something?" He asked finally making eye contact with his baby blue eyes.

"Sure" I replied,but then Liam jumped off his stool and began walking off.

"Come on then"He signalled.

I looked around to see Daryl looking at me,so I quickly ran over to him.

"Ill be back in one minute" I then plant a small kiss on Daryl's cheek.

I ran over to where I last saw Liam and headed over in that direction.

I eventually found him and knew he was heading to the hotel.

We went into the reception and sat down on the comfy velvet chairs it was surprising empty.

"What's wrong then?" I asked.

"I want you!....that's all I want,I miss you, I miss your hair, your smile,your singing, your dancing....." Liam continued.

Why's he saying all this shit now?, it's too late for all this stuff now,but isn't this what I wanted Daryl for to make Liam jealous? To win him back?

"What do you want me to do?" I ask watching Liam move up over to me.

Next thing I knew Liam's dry lips were on mine and they were moving in sync with one another.

The strong sent of cigars and alcohol lingered in his warm breath.

Liams hands were stroking my thighs and it hit me....This kiss felt like a memory.......

But that was it just a memory.

I pulled back from the wet kiss and stood up.

"Liam you're drunk!, I don't love you,I love Daryl,I have a boyfriend"I shout

"Daryl was kissing that girl earlier, he don't love you" Liam snapped and I grew very suspicious....

"Did you make that girl kiss Daryl?" I blurted out without realising.

"No,why!" Liam spat.

Well I had to continue now.........

"Because you wouldn't know they kissed and Daryl said that the girl wouldn't leave him alone until he kissed her."

      "So come on how much did you pay her?" I shouted.

"That don't matter don't you understand that I did that because I loved you!" Liam says causing me to cringe.

"Oh yes Liam you loved me so much that you had sex with a girl in my own bed, screw your love.I'm done."

I finish before walking outta the reception and off to enjoy the rest of the evening with Daryl and my family.

Back at the wedding Maggie's still dancing with a half eaten pizza in one hand and Glenn holding the other,but I don't see Daryl.....again....

I go to speak to my Aunty Patricia and Otis and after about 10 minutes have passed Daryl's still not back.

"Excuse me,I better go find Daryl" I laugh to Otis.

"Maggie have you saw Daryl?"I ask.

"No sorry,ask Glenn he's at the bar" Maggie replies.

I walk over to Glenn and tap him on the shoulder.

"Glenn have you saw Daryl?" I asked.

"No sorry, but Beth please make sure that Daryl knows how thankful I am for everything he's helped out with" Glenn smiles.

"Hu?, Liam told me he was being lazy all day". I laughed confused.

"No it was the opposite in fact,Daryl's been doing everything all day,the only thing Liam's done was got breakfast" Glenn laughed.

"Glenn! It's our song" Maggie shouted laughing.

"Better go" Glenn smiled before running over to Maggie.

I smiled at Maggie and Glenn dancing they looked so happy that it made my eyes water again.

I then decided to head back to mine and Daryl's room and see if he was in there...
