The Best Man

Chapter 25: Meghan

I was getting more and more nervous, the closer we got to the church.

"Why are we going that way?" I asked my driver when I looked outside and saw we drove by Hyde Park.

"There is a closed road ahead, Miss" he said and stopped at a red traffic light. Then he checked his phone.

I wanted to groan. Such a dedicated driver.

The traffic light turned green and we were back in traffic, heading towards a pretty deserted street. We were practically in Hyde Park.

Then he stopped the car.

"What the hell" I called.

I looked out of the window and saw a car pull up next to me which looked an awful lot like Taron's. I narrowed my eyes. It was in fact Taron.

I got out of the car and he got out of his, he seemed breathless.

"Taron? What are you doing here?"

He looked me up and down and suddenly I was breathless too "You're so beautiful" he breathed out.

I smiled, flattered by his words. And somehow his words meant the world to me "What's going on?" I looked around.

"Don't marry him" he said.

I sighed "Taron, I –"

"Hear me out" he interrupted me and took my hands in his. My skin was prickling where he touched me.

"I love you, Meghan. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." he said tenderly "You're my soul mate, the love of my life and I truly believe you feel the same way about me" his green eyes stared into my teary brown ones "Because if you didn't, I – I don't know" he shrugged.

"Taron" I started sobbing "I love you, too. I know this now. I'm sorry it took me so long" I smiled while crying.

"You love me too?" he asked, sounding unsure.

I nodded "I do"

He pulled me to him and I was in his arms and he was kissing me. I kissed him back with everything I had in me and all pieces seemed to fall into place. I moaned as we deepened the kiss and he held me tightly to him, never ever letting me go.

We broke away eventually, suddenly brought back to where we actually were. I was freezing and actually shaking.

"Here" Taron got out of his coat and put it around my shoulders.

I smiled at him before intertwining my hands behind his neck and pulling him to me again. His lips met mine again and we forgot the world around us. My hands ran through his hair, his hands tightened around my waist.

Why did I think I could live without him? Every nerve in my body was on fire when he was around.
