The Wedding Part 2

I thought my previous story didn't need a part two, but my friend completely disagreed so here we are. You can thank @billhader0417 for this.

James' pov

My nerves were finally coming to the surface after the events in the library.

I didn't think of the consequences before I just barged right in and demanded Adam to choose between us.

He had seemed shocked, to say the least. He just stood like a statue as I rambled on about me being in love with him for years.

I can't say I blame him. If someone had barged into my wedding day confessing their undying love for me, I would probably be shocked too.

I don't even have a good reason for doing it. I guess I just finally realized that I had one last shot at telling Adam how I felt, and I went for it.

It was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done.

I didn't even have any evidence that Adam liked me, just a hope that I wasn't imagining all of those lingering hugs and glances from across rooms.

But I still went to the lake anyway.

This was the first place him and I had met, when he first moved to California and I went to the lake for a day with my family.

I arrived half an hour early at 11:30 at night, and laid down to watch the star go by in the dark sky overhead.

My thoughts seemed to silence as I watched the universe above me, waiting for midnight to come.

I checked the time frequently, nerves coming back as the minutes ticked by.

I completely expected him to not show up. He had a wonderful partner who was smart, handsome, and financially stable.

All I had to offer was $20 in my pocket, and my dog.

The clock read 11:59, as my hopes fell, and I gave up on my hope.

I was preparing myself to stand up and leave my spot, when a figure in black joined me in the sand.

I didn't have to look over to know who it was. There was only one person in the world that it could be.

Adam and I sat in silence as we watched the stars, neither of us willing to break the peace.

It almost felt normal, natural even, to just be laying there with Adam, enjoying a lovely night, if not for the fact that my worry was eating away at me, and the fact that Adam was still in his tux.

"So, how's Jason taking it?" I asked quietly, not wanting to break the peace of the evening.

Adam waited for a few seconds before replying back.

"Honestly, I don't know. He seemed to be taking it fairly well when I told him. I think he expected it, to be honest."

"So what you're saying is, that everyone knew you liked me except for me."

"Pretty much, yea." He chuckled.

I sighed, still not daring to glance back over at Adam as I asked a question that had been eating at me for hours.

"Why did you choose me?" My voice was barely above a whisper, and I wondered if Adam heard me when he didn't respond for a bit.

"Because I realized that if I really loved Jason, I wouldn't even be considering you a possibility. Plus I don't think I'm really in love with him.

He's an amazing guy, that's for sure, but I think I love him as my friend more than as my husband."

I paused for a moment as what he said replayed in my head.

"Ok, so that's why you didn't marry Jason, but why did you choose me over anyone else?"

He hesitated before answering again.

"I've been in love with you since day one. I knew that the day I met you, that you would always be the one for me.

"But then you were adamant about you being straight and you pointed out all the attractive girls whenever we would hang out, and I gave up hope that you would ever love me the way I loved you, so I tried to move on.

"I found Jason, and he seemed like the perfect guy. Strong, handsome, smart, and a great guy in general. But he wasn't you.

"You're skinny, arrogant, and kinda stupid sometimes,"

"Hey!" I called, but Adam didn't pay me any mind.

"But you're also funny and witty, and kind and smart when you want to be, and even with all of that, I'm still in love with you and your stupid, gorgeous face."

The sentiment left me feeling a little offended, but mostly incredibly in love.

I never was good with words, and I knew I wouldn't be able to express myself the way Adam had.

So I did the next best thing.

I kissed him right then and there, trying to throw all of my emotions into a single, loving kiss.

The message seemed to get across to Adam, who seemed surprised at first, but slowly melted into my passionate kiss, and let me get out all of my emotions to him.

The kiss lasted only a few seconds, both of us remembering that we were in fact on the shore of a lake after midnight, and decided it was time to head back for the night.

Adam drove us back to my house, since he used to live with Jason, and that wasn't really an option at the moment.

He had to borrow some of my pajamas (which looked big and adorable on him), and agreed that he would take the couch until we sorted everything out.

I gave him many goodnight kisses, him having to practically drag me away, and I begrudgingly turned in for the night.

After every twist and turn, stress and worry, I had somehow managed to get the man I love.

And I couldn't be happier.
