Try Me (Drunk In Love #1)

Chapter Thirty Eight

*Abel's P.O.V*

I check my phone again, seeing if there is another text from that asshole. Someone has been messaging me since few weeks and threatening to expose me and ruin my career. Maybe that same asshole who burned the warehouse. But I know that's just BS and they don't know shit. Only thing I am afraid of is what he sent this morning, picture of her. I have forgotten about her, but that picture reminded me of old times.

Blonde hair like a crown around her head, pale skin that no amount of sun can tan and blue eyes. Those eyes, like ocean, and how I fell for them.

La Mar's voice pull me from my reminisce.

"You okay?" He probably see it in my face how uncomfortable I feel.

"Yeah, I just need some air." I say while walking away from him. He says something but I don't hear it, focusing instead on my breathing that's hard to come. I come out to the balcony of Sal's house, inhaling fresh air. God, I'm gonna slip, I feel it.

*Kiara's P.O.V *

I put on last touch on my makeup and run my fingers through my hair. Abel's gonna be here anytime. I put on my shoes and take one last look in the mirror. The dress fits perfectly, hugging all the right places. I have put on light makeup with dark red lipstick. My hair is open and fall straigh down my back. The doorbell rings, indicating Abel is here.

He looks me up and down, taking in every inch of me. I feel the color rushing to my cheeks, the look is his eyes does something to me. His eyes come to rest on mine as his mouth forms that breathtaking smile.

"Wow." That one word he says in such a way that I feel I am the only one he sees. He looking amazing himself, all black with white shirt dress and bow tie. I remember his tweet, 'fuck a tie', he rarely wears one. I wonder how great will he look on his wedding day?

"Let's go. Everyone's already on their way to church." He notifies me. I take my bag and shawl from sofa and lock the house, letting Abel lead me.
************************************

Abel links his hand in mine as he walks with me towards the church. A lot of XO has come with their families or girlfriends. We spot La Mar, Sal and Cash together and head towards them.

Abel hugs all of them, I stretch my hand to La Mar but he ignores it, as usual. Instead, I hug Rima who is standing next to me and glowing.

"How are you?" She asks me as we pull away.

"I'm good. My god, you are glowing Rima!" I compliment on her pregnancy glow. She looks beautiful and pulls off the dress effortlessly.

"Thank you. I just can't wait to meet her or him." She rubs her belly and smiles.

"Can someone take a picture of us?" Abel asks us. I pull out my phone from my bag and tell them to stand together. I click the picture then notice that he is not looking at the camera in it. I click another and this turns out good.

Rima pulls me in for a picture with her. We put in some funny poses where my hand is on her swollen belly and my expression is of shock. We laugh at our weird expressions.

Sal informs us that wedding is about to start. The boys make way inside of church while me and Rima go behind to the room where Rebecca is getting ready.

The bridesmaids are already there chatting and drinking wine. Rebecca sits in front of a mirror, adjusting her veil. She turns when she sees us and smile beamingly.

"Congratulations! You look so beautiful." I hug her.

"Are you nervous?" I ask her honestly. I can't imagine the nerves when it is your wedding day.

"I know exactly how you feel girl." Rima answers for her. Rebecca laughs at that and ask one of the bridesmaid for tequila. She pours it for everyone except Rima.

"To our beautiful bride Rebecca, and her special day. Cheers!" We cling our shot glasses and drink it. Rebecca asks for some more and Dina pours for me too. I put down the glass and announce that I'll meet them inside.
