Today we were going to choose the wedding cake. We were at a store specialized in wedding cakes and we were waiting for Ken to arrive. I was so nervous on seeing him again. How am I going to face him after yesterday’s kiss? My plan was still the same, avoiding him as much as I could. Yesterday was a big mistake and it shouldn’t happen again. Ken was Britney’s fiancé and only my future brother-in-law! There could never be anything between us.
Finally Ken arrived but he was not alone. Walking beside him was a young handsome man with dark hair and black eyes. They looked much alike and had the same poster also. Were they brothers or what? “Sorry for making you all wait.” Ken said in his manly voice. The other guy also greeted my aunt and Britney and stopped when he faced me. “I’m sorry I think we haven’t met before. I’m Mark, Ken’s brother and his groomsman.” He said offering me his hand with a warm smile on his face. I guessed right! He was his brother! “Hi, nice to meet you I am Miya and I’m Britney’s cousin and also her bridesmaid.” I replied shaking his hand and returning him a smile. He was very handsome, just like his brother but the difference was when our hands touched I didn’t get that electricity shot I got when I first touched Ken’s hand. What was it about Ken’s touch that made me feel that way? “So let’s begin we don’t have much time left.” We all took a seat with Ken opposite me and Mark on my left. My aunt and Britney were on my right.
After tasting five flavor cakes, Britney and Ken finally agreed on a strawberry chocolate cake. All the time I was in deep conversation with Mark. He was a really nice guy and he made me laugh a lot. He made me feel so comfortable which was very difficult with Ken staring at me all the time. His eyes were dark. He looked angry but why? Everything was going well.
When it was time to head home for other preparations Mark came to me. “Maybe someday we could go out and grab dinner or something.” Mark said. Was he asking me out? Maybe if I spent some time with him I might start to forget about Ken. “Yeah sure! Why not?” We exchanged numbers and he promised to call me. “Mark let’s go!” Ken said coldly interrupting our conversation. He didn’t have manners or what and why was he so cold? He looked fine when we arrived a while ago. “Sorry my brother can be a bit rude sometimes. Bye.” He said giving me a kiss on the cheek and went away to his car.
“So what is going on between you and Mark?” Britney asked when we sat in the car heading home. “I don’t see what you’re talking about.” I lied. “Don’t take me for a fool Miya I saw what was happening between you two.” Until I tell her what happened she won’t let me go so I had to tell her. “Well he is a nice guy and we get along very well. We exchanged numbers and he said he would call me soon.”
“I’m sure he has something for you. I could see it in his eyes.” She replied exited like a small girl who got a new doll. “Yeah maybe!” I just hope that he would be able to make me forget Ken. I wonder why he seemed so angry and rude today...
