words as she
again signals for a cab. A taxi instantly pulls byher side and Alice jumps in. I
flash her one last smile and then Adrian leads me to our car. I slide into the
back seat of his Rolls Royce.
“That went well, right?” I ask as the car pulls away from the entrance of the
Oak Room.
“Yes, I guess you could say that.” I am sensing that Adrian is upset about
something. I catch his hand as I try to ask him what is wrong.
“Is everything okay?” Adrian smiles at me.
“Yes baby, everything is fine.” He leans over and kisses me softly on my cheek
he pulls back when his phone starts to ring. Adrian answers his call and from
what I can make out it’s a business call. I stare out onto the streets of New
York as I reminisce on tonight’s events. I was stunned when Alice told us about
her relationship with David and I was sick to my stomach when she relieved
how much he had hurt her. Just thinking about it now sends shivers down my
spine and I am going to do as Alice said and try to forget about it. I felt happy
when I saw Adrian and Alice talking. Their relationship is far from mended, but
Adrian inviting Alice to the wedding is a very good sign. I wanted him to repair
things with his mom and tonight was only the beginning.

The next morning I wake to the sound of Adrian on his phone. He is talking
rather loudly and I can’t make out what he is saying. I sit further up into the
bed and I open my eyes to sunshine beaming in through the tall glass windows.
I try to focus my ears as Adrian’s voice rises.
“Look, I don’t expect you to understand but it’s what I want. Now please, let
me be!” Adrian almost shouts down phone to whoever he is talking to. I begin
to climb out of our four poster bed and then I stop as Adrian glides into the
room. He is dressed in dark blue suit trousers anda white shirt. His collar is
open to reveal his tanned skin. His hair –as usual is messy as it falls onto his
forehead. His face looks strained as he holds his phone to his ear. I watch as he
rolls his eyes at whatever he is being told. He begins to march around the room
until he answers back.
“It’s simple, you either want to be my best man or you don’t?” My heart begins
to race at Adrian’s words. He must be talking to Michael. I start to feel nervous
as Adrian awaits his answer.
“I won’t ask you again.” Adrian says firmly. There is a brief pause and then
Adrian smiles. “Thanks mate,” Michael must have agreed to be his best man.
Oh my god this is going to be awkward.
“Alanna,” Adrian says as he rushes over to me and gives me a huge, sloppy kiss.
I melt into his affection for a while but then I pull back from him. I need to
know exactly what’s going on with Michael. Adrian hates it when I question
him so I have to ask nicely, if I don’t then I risk him not telling me at all.
“You have sorted out who is going to be your best man?” Adrian kisses me
again but this time on the neck. He slides his lips along my collar bone as he
talks.
“You were eavesdropping again, weren’t you?” I blush but I manage to
maintain my composure.
“If you don’t want me to overhear your phone calls then take them outside.”
Adrian snarls at my sarcastic response.
“Fair enough,” Adrian says as he slides his hand through my hair. “Michael is
my best man. There won’t be any problems, will there?” I shake my head at
him.
“Not from me.”
“Michael has told me that you are angry with him.” I push Adrian away as his
words ring in my ears. He looks stunned at my actions and he soon has harsh
words for me.
“Don’t push me away like that. You know that it makes me feel unwanted.” I
feel guilty for making Adrian feel bad. I lean in and kiss him and then I nicely
back away from him, as I need to know exactly what Michael has told him.
“I am sorry, but please tell me what Michael has said to you.” Adrian stares at
me and I can tell that he is annoyed with me. He hates it when I
