Watch & Learn: Book II

Chapter Eighteen: True Colors

Rome

I looked on at myself in the mirror, admiring the look of this tuxedo on me. I was at this suit shop, trying on tuxedos for the ceremony. I had Teddy, Kev, Chris, Caleb, and Daryn here with me as well so that they could all get fitted for their tuxedos as well. Reign had also tagged along to give me her opinion on whatever I tried on which was definitely a huge help. Even though she was my friend, she was always completely honest with me and I definitely needed an unbiased opinion. Teddy, Chris, and Kev all tried on their tuxedos and they were a perfect fit so they ended up leaving. Now it was just me, Caleb, and Daryn trying on ours while Reign gave her opinion on my various tuxedo selections. All of the groomsmen had the same one but of course I had to switch mine up a bit from the rest.

"What you think?" I asked her, still looking in the mirror.

"I like this one better." Reign replied while looking at me.

"Yeah, I'm feeling it too. I like ultra slim fits." I told her before she got up to fix my tie for me. "Thanks."

"You know I got you." She smiled before sitting back down.

"Thanks for coming out here with me. I know you could've spent your day with Justise but it means a lot." I told her as I took a seat beside her.

"It's nothing Rome." Reign told me. "This is my last day here so of course I had to squeeze in some best friend time."

"Well it means a lot to me. We still gotta do some quick catching up though." I told her as she nodded her head in agreement.

"Let's catch up then." She replied before I saw Daryn run out of the fitting room with Caleb trailing behind him.

"Don't run, walk." I told Daryn as he nodded his head and stopped running then walked over to me. "They got his measurements perfect."

"I know. Mine too." Caleb said while looking at himself in the mirror.

"Well right now I'm just waiting for the people to give me my quote so that I can pay them. If you want to go ahead and leave, you can." I told him as he nodded his head.

"Alright cool, you want me to take Daryn?" Caleb asked me.

"You can if you want. You stopping by the house?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I gotta talk to Candace about some family stuff." Caleb said while I nodded my head. He ended up walking back with Daryn to the fitting room while I stayed sitting with Reign.

"I'm about to change out of this real quick. I'll be back." I said to her before walking to my fitting room and changing out of this tux. Once I finished, I walked back out with it and sat down and continued to wait for the employee that was helping us. Caleb also walked out of his dressing room with Daryn and handed me their outfits.

"I'll see you in a bit." Caleb told me before Daryn walked over to me again.

"I'll see you in a few alright?" I told him as he nodded his head. "Be good for your uncle."

"Okay." He innocently said, carrying his toy car as him and Caleb walked out of the shop.

"I can't get over how cute he is." Reign smiled while watching him leave.
