Taron

I was breathing hard and couldn't believe what situation I had gotten myself in. Why had I done this again? I didn't know.

I was running on the treadmill as if I was running away from someone. Or something. I had never really been a big fan of sports but there was nothing I could do. It was what someone like me had to do. Being an actor was great and I loved it, but it also had its downsides.

"Why are we here again?" Richard chuckled on the treadmill next to me.

I laughed, out of breath "I wish I could tell you, mate"

We continued the torture for a while, both listening to music to distract ourselves. My mind was still wandering though.

"So, how's the wedding prep coming along?" Richard asked as we wiped the sweat from our faces.

"It's good I guess" I smiled "I can't believe the wedding is actually right around the corner" I grimaced.

Richard glanced at me "Are you worried about that?"

"No" I said quickly "Why would I be?"

He just shrugged "I don't know, mate"

I clapped him on the shoulder Thanks for being my best man"

Richard smiled "Have you thought about your suit yet?"

"Nah" I drew out the word "I'm still debating on getting one. I might as well wear one of those super expensive tailored suits I have hanging in my closet"

He chuckled as we walked to the changing rooms "You're so humble it's embarrassing"

"Babe, I'm home" I called as I closed the door behind me.

It was still early, but I wanted to get the workout done so I didn't have to think about it anymore.

"Hey" she smiled, sitting on a stool by the kitchen counter, eating breakfast.

I hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek "How's your day so far?"

Her smile faded "There is something I wanted to discuss with you, actually"

My heart jumped, a sick feeling developing in my stomach "Sure babe"

I sat down next to her "What is it?"

She sighed. I could tell something was off.

"I don't know how to tell you this"

Oh this was bad. Was this about me or her? Did she find out I saved May from that creepy idiot the other day?

"Just tell me" I whispered and caressed her back with my hand.

She moved a bit, so she was out of reach. I frowned.

"I'm not so sure about the wedding" she said slowly.

My frown deepened "What are you talking about?"

She let out a breath, her green eyes looking down to her bowl of fruits.

"I'm not sure if I'm ready to get married"

I raised my eyebrows "Are you kidding?" I asked slowly.

"No" her voice was barely above a whisper "I'm not"
