Best Friend Brother

Sam

 “She’s beautiful” I say looking at Maria pictures of her ring and her on the phone. Justina stood beside me and swiped threw the photos. She stopped at a photo of the new happy couple together. I took a big breath and close my eyes, letting the phone go to a blank screen. Today he will belong to someone else. I thought to myself.  

    “I am about to go see if she needs anything. Hurry up and get dress, you sitting by our parents. You sure you don’t want to broke this off? I'm ready to back you up if shit goes down. We can like knap  her and tell her to leave him the fuck alone or we can like knap him and make him miss the wedding. He might feel the same about you” 

    I smile at Justina and shook my head no. It’s been three months, he hasn't checked on me. If he did love me he would had came after me. She left leaving me thinking. I finally took a big breath when she left. My heart hurts.

     I shouldn't be hurting over the fact the Trey is getting married in just few hours. I love him, but he belongs to someone else, I kept telling myself. so why did I feel like my heart been stomped on. And why was I hiding in my hotel room in the tub balling my eyes out. My phone rang and I ignored it. It went to voicemail. Few minutes later I finally got myself together and went to join everyone downstairs.

     With my belly getting bigger it got harder to hide so I stopped hidding it. I pulled the long coat over my dress and slip on the heels. I actually looked sexy pregnant. I thought to myself checking myself out in the mirror. I stare down at my belly and I couldn't help but cry. I don't want to ruin another women best day. It wouldn't be fair to her. Plus maybe this a sign form God the we didn't belong together. 

     I took off my clothes. I was just gone go home and text Trey later about the pregnancy.  I know it's childish, but I don't care. Plus its four hours form here so what he gone do? He can't leave his wedding. His happy now, so why ruin his life. There was a knock on the door interrupting my plans.  It was probably Justina, I hope she disnt go through the knapping plan.

     I walk to the door in my towel. My eyes were bloodshot red and my throat hurt from crying.

      “Hey!!”

    I stood there frozen not sure what to do. Trey had a bottle of wine in his hands and two glasses. I look at his other hand and he had a Bufflo wild wings bag. I haven't talked to him since he got engaged to Maria after his graduation, plus with the talk with Maria I didn't want to get in her way. A girl will do anything to keep her man away form another girl who has history with them. Three months not seeing the person you love is way to long, but I could had went longer not seeing him cause now it means I have to tell him.

    “I thought maybe we can chill and eat junk food like old times, before I say I do. Also to say I am really sorry about what happen and that three months been too long to go without one of my best friend and that I can’t start this new journey without you, my best friend beside me”  he say smiling. He look beautiful in his black fitted suit. I smile and step aside. He walk in and we walk to the bed.

    “Drink?” he ask pouring some wine. I nod and grab the glass he handed to me.

   “To two best friend on they awesome new life” he toast. I nod and click my glass to his. I took a big sip and quickly spill it out. I was glad he didn't see me. I don’t think wine is the best choice when you are 3 months pregnant.

   Yeah I shouldnt had let him in. There's no way I can tell Trey now.

    “So um you ready?”  I say putting the glass down. I went to take a seat  on the bed and look at him. He seat down next to me. I was glad the towel was big enough to not show I had a belly forming. I only told my parents about the pregnancy. I didn't have to tell Justina she called me in the middle of the night, when she was in Paris to tell me she had a dream about it. Few days later i took the test and she was right. I decides to tell her everything. How I actually feel for her brother and how I was going crazy with this fact that i'm pregnant by him when he was about to get married.

    “Yea” he say smiling. I smile too ignoring the hurt I felt in my heart.

   “She’s beautiful” I told him. “You always had a weakness for latinos and black girls” I joke. His cheeks got red from blushing. I couldn't help but laugh.

    “Can I tell you something?” he ask. I nod. He hastited to say it.

   “Come on Trey you never have trouble talking. 95% of the time you talking nonstop” I joke again. We stop laughing and he got serious.

   “I can’t stop thinking about you Sam?”

   I look at Trey not sure what to say.

  “It's just that I felt good giving up all these girls just to be with you. I know you my sister best friend but you're also my best friend Sam. And I always felt something for you the I never felt before with someone else. I love Maria but sometimes it feels like there's something missing when I go days without talking to you. I hate how things ended, but I still want you in my life. ”

    “Trey ” I whisper. “You getting married. You think it's easy for me to be here. To watch the love of my life walk down the aisle and say I do to someone else. You want me in your life as a best friend Trey, well the can't happen”
