The Best Man

Chapter 1: Meghan

"Will you marry me?" he asked as he went down on his knee before me.

I threw my hand to my mouth. Oh my God.

I nodded as I was near tears "Of course I will marry you"

James got up, slipped the ring on my finger and we kissed.

We were on holiday in Greece, the most romantic holiday I had ever had. I never would have expected him to propose to me but I was more than happy he did. A few years back I totally believed I would die miserable and alone, but then I had met James. We both lived in London and had moved in a year ago. He was an accountant and I worked as a make up artist.

We took a few pictures and watched the sun set over the sea and I didn't think I ever felt happier as I lay in his arms.

We texted our friends and families and they all seemed pretty excited and happy for us.

"Who would you want to be your bridesmaid?" James asked as we discussed a few wedding details.

I sighed "Well I have only two best friends really. So I was thinking Laura and Kate"

"Sounds good" he said as he caressed my cheek "I was thinking of asking Taron to be my best man. Would you like that?"

Taron was more my friend than his but it meant a lot of me he would want to include him in the wedding ceremony.

"I would love that, honey. We just have to ask Taron" I said. He was a busy man after all. I think he would start shooting a new movie soon.

"Well he's your best friend so I'm sure he would do it" James said.

It was true. Taron and I have been friends ever since we worked on a film together a few years ago. We went out for drinks and we had so much in common we were besties after that. Even though I had always found him attractive, there was nothing more to that friendship. And I did study his face as I did his hair and makeup, believe me.

Anyway, he had been with Emily at the time. She had dumped him a few months ago though and I was there for him. I was sure he would find his soulmate, just like I had found mine.

I checked my phone but Taron hadn't replied to the engagement news yet. He was probably busy.
