"You look amazing," Paul stepped in closer to me. I looked around to see if there's anyone around. Paul and I had been seeing each other lately. Even though I'm with Pete still. I love both of them, and I have no idea what I should do.
No one was around, so I took both of his hands. "Thank you," I kissed him real quick. "I can't believe John's getting married."
"I know," Paul chuckled. "And you're a bridesmaid."
"You're a best man," I giggled. Paul scrunched his nose, which made me laugh even more.
"Y'know? We shouldn't be doing this," he whispered in my ear.
"I love the risk," I whispered back in his ear. Paul started to kiss my neck. I gasped in surprise. I moved my hand down his body, so did he.
"Paul?" Someone called. Paul and I quickly pulled away from each other as someone turned the corner. Naomi. I hope she didn't see anything. It didn't seem like she had.
Paul cleared his throat. "Yes?" Paul put his hands together over his crotch. I smiled to myself because I knew what he was hiding.
Naomi gave him a confused look and went on. "John wants to see you." Naomi watched as Paul awkwardly walked passed her. I started to smile, I can't help it. Naomi quickly walked over to me. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
I stopped smiling. Had she seen what happened? "What?"
"Emily, we both know you're cheating on Pete with Paul." My heart completely froze. How could Naomi know? "Have you...?" I think she knew what I meant.
"No, no sex." I reassured Naomi. She nodded and went on with the conversation.
"How long has it been?" Naomi asked. I stepped away. She was going to think I was insane.
"I kissed him the day after Pete and I got together." I looked down at my feet. I had a feeling Naomi was furious at me, but she was going to respect it.
"Bloody hell, Emily!" Naomi stepped closer to me and put her hands on my shoulders. "Who do you truly love?"
I started to cry. It's been so hard to decide the past few months Pete and I had been together, but lately I felt like I knew the true answer. I love Pete as a best friend, like a brother. I love Paul as a lover.
"Paul." I whispered. Naomi shook her head and then gave me a big hug. I dug my face into her. It was so clear. Even from the beginning, but I was too caught up with Paul and Marie. Now, everything seemed to be going down hill and up hill at the same time. Pete and I together, but I'm cheating on him with Paul. Marie and Paul broke up right after I got with Pete. Paul broke up with Marie because he loves me. I can't break up with Pete because he's still going through emotional withdrawal from the band kicking him out. I'm sure that me, here, at his former band mate's wedding isn't helping but either. But, Pete is away on holiday. He went out with a few of his friends to London. He won't be back for another week or two. He had been saving up for this trip for years.
Naomi pulled apart from me and I wiped my eyes.
"Is my makeup smeared?" I sobbed.
"No, you look great." Naomi made me chuckle. "C'mon! We have a wedding to go to!" Naomi and I linked arms and we went out to the car to take up to the ceremony.

The wedding was a blast. John and Cynthia made everyone cry tears of joy during the ceremony, and then at the reception... it was party time. Everyone danced, ate too much and then everyone started to get tired and go home. Now, it was just John, Cynthia, Naomi, Paul, Ringo (the new drummer who I had just met) and I.
"Well, I better go," Ringo said picking up his coat. "I hope you have a great honeymoon here at home." That made Cynthia chuckle.
"Thank you, Ringo," Cynthia gave Ringo a hug. "It was nice that you can come." Ringo left and then it was just us five.
"Okay, first, congratulations!" I giggled and gave both John and Cynthia a big hug. "Second, look at your tummy!" Cynthia, Naomi and I giggled.
"I know! You can finally see a little bump." Cynthia cheered.
"Thought of a name yet?" Naomi asked.
"Augustine if a boy, and Sunflower if a girl." John said, and made it sound almost real. Cynthia playfully slapped John on the shoulder.
"Either Julia or Julian, depending on the gender." John said truthfully.
"Just like your mum," Paul said sympathetically. John nodded and smiled. He put his hand on Cynthia's belly.
"You better look just like mum!" John nearly yelled, which made us all giggle. "Or else Julia won't work for you."
"Okay, well, I better hit the road." Naomi gave everyone hugs and then left for home. Just the four of us now.
"Well, newly- wed, what've you got planned?" Paul scratched the side of his nose. John looked at Cynthia, she shrugged.
"I guess we should get some sleep, huh?" Cynthia looked over at John. He nodded and took Cynthia's hand.
"We'll see you later!" John said as they started to walk towards the bus station. Paul and I waved them goodbye.
"So... great wedding," I turned over to Paul. He nodded and stepped in closer. He put his arms around my waist, I put my hands on his arms.
"It was... and I know how we can celebrate," Paul said and started to kiss my neck like he did before the wedding.
"Let's go to my place," I whispered in his ear. Paul pulled away. He gave me a sexy smile.
