My Fiancé's Best Friend

To Be or Not To Be Mrs. Agard

I groaned as as my eyes adjusted to the sunlight that streamed through the bedroom window. Judging from the possition of the rays it was already mid-day. Yep it's mid-day and I'm still in bed, life in London right? Well I can't complain because right next to me is a perfect man, with a perfect body and we are currently living the most perfect life. Yes I am officially living with Terry, the man that I have wanted for over five years is finally mine. All mine. There were a few bumps in the road on getting to this stage but we made it and I am estatic.

It has been eleven months since the whole fiasco happened and I have been living with Terry for six months, so far I am enjoying every minute of it. We bought a house in another city, a city far away from the drama we once faced known as Caroline Delsette, Gianni Hastings and the ever elusive and ever charming River Smith, who I might add hasn't contacted me since my departure to Trinidad. Talking about he loves me, yeah right! I know River Smith and he is nothing but an arrogant, perverted and uncontrolably deceiving asshole.

"Babe, what time is it?" Terry asked as he stretched the sleep from this bones. god he looks fantastic. You see I don't need to think about River when I have this man next to me. Fuck Asshole Smith, that's what I call him now, Asshole Smith.

"It's probably after one baby, want to go out for lunch?" I replied giving him a quick kiss on the mouth. The quick kiss soon turned into something more and Terry grabbed and held me in place. He deepended the kiss and did what he always did, began tickling me. Yeah I know it seems childish but that's Terry, he is always full of life and laughter and I keep loving him more and more.

"Come on....stop it," I say between laughs, "you have a meeting this evening and we need to prepare."

"I really do not want to go."

"You need to meet with your father Terry."

"I really don't, what I need to do is convince you to marry me," and with that all my laughter stopped.

About three months ago, Terry proposed to me with this grand gesture of a plane, ten thousand roses and an orchestra, it was the most romantic thing I had ever seen but I couldn't say yes. I mean how could I? Yes I do believe that he is in love with me and he wants to spend the rest of his days with me and all that but just last year he was with my then best friend Caroline, he wasn't ready for marriage and neither am I.

"Terry we've been through this, I am with you, isn't that enough?" I asked getting off the bed and making my way to the bathroom. He followed me quielty giving off his famous "lost puppy" vibe.

"We are not ready for that step Terry."

"Why do you always speak for me? I am ready, for fucks sake I've been ready for years now, you are the woman I want to be with," he stated looking agrivated.

"Really? Because last time I checked we were not together until eight months ago when we came back from Trinidad and even then things were weird because your father was watching our every move!" I almost yelled as I began the task of brushing my teeth. I stared at his reflection through the mirror and I saw the pain in his eyes but I need to stand my ground. When it comes to the subject of Terry's father, Ian.

You see, after Gia was released and River made it known to the world that Gia is indeed his wife and everyone fawned over them, Ian was pissed, extremely pissed. River paid for Gia's release but money wasn't what Ian wanted, he needed revenge but with the current limelight on River and Gia he knew the Feds were watching his every step. They couldn't prove that the kidnapping was illestrated by him but we all knew the truth, I an is dangerous, even in incarceration.

"I know all of this but I know you love me, my Sophia," he said as he breathed by neck, this man knew the way to my heart........and panties.

"I just need ttime Terry, after I meet Iam today, we still need to pick my parents from the airport and you know how they are. My Dad likes you as my friend, wait till he acts now that you are my boyfriend," ahh, that word.....Boyfriend. Imagine how many years I wanted this to happen and it finally has, I just can't get it out of my head...Boyfriend....Boyfriend.....Boyfrie..

"Earth to Sophia," Terry said watching me with a raised eyebrow, he caught me daydreaming...again.

"I'm sorry, was in Sophia-Land." I replied sheepishly.

"Uh huh, look when Ian asks this evening what our plans are, what do you want to say?'

"I don't care what Ian wants Terry, he cannot and will not dictate my life. You can stay there and be afraid of him but I refuse to be. What we need to do today is gather ourselves and make this visit worth while, you need to tell him that you are not going to take over his "business" not now or ever."

"That's easier said than done Sophia, right now he sees me as the perfect suscessor. The Feds don't even know that I'm his son, no one knows besides him, my mom, you and I, which is something that I want to stay that way. He is dangerous, and he wouldn't hurt me physically, oh no, he would get me where it would really hurt, you," Terry said and I saw the fear in his eyes, I knew Ian scared him but what was I supposed to do? So I did the only thing I thought was plausible.

I washed my face and went back into the bedroom, I opened the draw located next to the bed and took out the small velvet box that contained the engagement ring. I gentlty opened it and stared breifly at the turquoise princess cut diamond ring that shone brightly in the light. I sighed as I placed it on my finger.

Teryy immediately lift me up in the air and spun me around.

"Does this mean what I think it means," he asked excitedly.

"You ask me this after you lift me up in the air,"I said laughing, "yes silly, yes, I will marry you," and with that I bent and kissed him because part of me was doing this to keep us safe but the other part was indeed happy.

I was gently awakened by Terry as he pilled into the parking lot of High Hope Pententiary, really High Hopes? Why did they name the place that?

We were led inside by a prison officer and I couldn't help feel uncomfortable at the way he was stealing glances at me. I was only wearing a red sundress that was two inches above my knee and a pair of turquoise pumps which where bearly four inches, yet he looked at me like I was his next meal.

"Please sign here Mr. Agard," a fat bald headed guard said as we approached the office. I'm guessing they were accustomed to Terry's visits by now, they knew his name off hand.

"How is everything Kent?" Terry asked addressing the fat bald headed guard.

"Oh you know the boss, as lively as ever." Wait boss? You have got to be kidding me.

Before I could question what was said a buzzer was sounded.

"That's you young boss, he is just finishing up with someone," Kent said, wait who was he finishing up with, and it's disturbing that he reffered to Terry as 'young boss'.

"Or probably his lawyer," Terry said answering my question.

"Funny, I thought maybe he had a meeting with one of his hench men," I whispered only for Terry to hear me and he shot me an amused expression.

The doors opened and footsteps were heard leading to someone we both thought we would never see here. We were flabbergasted as we watched River and a very pregnant Gianni make their way to us.
