The Rebound

Caught

Tiana

Today is Kylie’s big day! I’m so excited for her.  Never mind that the b***h Valerie was there… I just had to ignore her. My best friend was getting married today… I wasn’t going to let her ruin our mood!

We’ve been in Kylie’s cottage since this morning. We had an early wake-up call from her wedding planner… we had to get our hair and make-up done early because we were going to go around the resort to get some photos before the ceremony.

“Oh my God, Ti! I’m getting married today. This is it.” Kylie exclaims as we were taking our photos together.

“Yes! This it, Ky! I’m really happy for you and Stan. I love you guys.” I tell her as I squeeze her hand. She looked so beautiful in her white, lace mermaid cut wedding dress. Her happiness was radiating from her. I was so happy for her and Stan. In the past two years, I’ve seen how much they loved and cared for each other.  They truly are meant to be together.

Although to be honest I had mixed emotions… well, for one… I’d be losing my roommate. She and Stan are moving in together when we get back to LA. I knew she felt sad about it too. Kylie was putting it off. In fact, she hasn’t even packed half of her stuff. But of course, it was inevitable… she’d have to live with Stan. They bought a three-bedroom apartment about 15-minutes away from our place. She offered for me to move in with them… but of course, I wouldn’t want that. I just had to look for another roommate. I’d be happy with anyone who was half as amazing as Kylie… because she was really the best!

And second, I would be lying if I say that I wasn’t a teensy tiny jealous. Of course, I was. I always thought Bryan and I would get married first… well, everybody did. We’ve been together for so long. But I guess fate had other plans. I didn’t even have a ring on my finger after 8 years. Makes me wonder if Bryan ever really wanted to marry me. And then, Valerie happened.

I’m forced out of my thoughts as the bridesmaids join us for a group photo. Everyone looked beautiful… that b***h, Valerie included. They were all wearing different styles of dresses in blush. And I, being the maid of honor, I was wearing a champagne colored lace gown that perfectly hugged my curves. It had a deep V-neckline and a thigh high slit. I got it from Jules. I decided to make a last minute change in my outfit. The gown that I was initially supposed to be wear was long-sleeved and very traditional… something that Bryan would approve of. I’m so happy I decided to make the change… this was more me. I just love this gown. Jules really is amazing! He makes the best gowns.

After we get our photos taken, we’re taken to a holding room near the venue of the ceremony. Kylie and I were looking through the photos we took in our phone… when she says, “Ti!” Her eyes gesturing to the door.

I turn around and see Bryce Andrews. He had a sheepish grin on his face as his eyes reach mine. He was leaning on the door frame looking extra, extra hot and handsome in a khaki suit with a champagne necktie that exactly matched my gown. Jules, I’m sure.

I give him a smile as I walk towards him. He puts his hand on the small of my back as he pulls me closer to him. He gives me a peck right on the corner of my lips, before he whispers in my ear, “You look so beautiful, Tiana.”

I grab him by the hand and lead him towards Kylie…. whose eyes are just now about to pop out her beautiful face. I giggled at my best friend. But I totally get her… Bryce was indeed exceptionally gorgeous.

“Kylie, this is Bryce. Bryce, this is my bestest friend in the world, Kylie. Also, the bride.” I say as I introduced them to each other.

“Thank you for inviting me to your wedding, Kylie. It’s so good to finally meet you.” Bryce politely says. As Bryce was giving her a peck on the cheek, she was mouthing “Oh my f*****g God” to me. I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Nice meeting you, Bryce. And thank you for your very generous wedding gift.” A red-faced Kylie says.

I go around the room to introduce him to the rest of bridesmaids including Valerie.

“Wow. The Bryce Andrews. Looks like I did you a favor there, Tatiana.” Valerie purrs as she shakes Bryce’s hand.

“Do you want to f**k him too, Valerie?” I retorted.

“Oh do I…” She says as her finger traces across Bryce’s necktie.

“Sorry but my p***s has better taste.” Bryce says as he takes her hand off his tie.

I give him a big smile as Kylie says giggling, “I f*****g love you, Bryce Andrews.”       

Valerie storms out the room.

Tiana looked absolutely breathtaking today. That gown from Jules was made for her. It perfectly showed off her curves and made her skin glow. She was just gorgeous. Just looking at her was getting me excited… but of course, we still had to go through the wedding. And I also knew that this weekend was a little more complicated for her. I wasn’t even sure if she was going to be in the mood tonight… but I hope so. Because I really missed being inside of her.

I honestly cannot fathom how stupid her ex was for letting go of someone like her for a one night stand with someone like Valerie. Sure… Valerie was blond bombshell… her boobs were almost popping out of her dress. But she wasn’t even close to as how beautiful or how hot Tiana is. It was no contest at all.

I find my way to the ceremony. I take a seat in the bride’s side as Tiana and the rest of the wedding party prepares for the wedding march. The groom walks in, followed by the best man… so that’s, Tiana’s ex. Hmmm…not bad. He looked pretty decent. I watch his eyes light up as Tiana walks down the aisle. I’m pretty sure he was feeling pretty stupid right now… because Tiana was just beautiful… especially since she was smiling. She turns to look at me as she passes my row. And I give her a little wink, causing her to giggle. I continue to watch her as she walks to the front…taking in her perfect little backside. Just looking at her was enough to give me a hard on. I try to shake away my thoughts as we’re asked to stand up to welcome the Bride.

As the ceremony goes by, I keep my eyes on Tiana. And I’m not the only one. Her ex’s eyes were glued to her as well. I’m pretty sure the poor little asshole was regretting what he did. I could tell that he was still madly in love with her. Truth be told, if Tiana wanted to be with him… I should just let them be. I mean, I hardly even know her. But for some weird reason, I didn’t want to. I don’t think it’s because of the s*x. Or is it? Sure, it’s great… who am I kidding? It’s awesome… probably the best I’ve had. Our s****l connection is just different. Just the sight of her gives me a hard-on. I guess it’s because I think she deserves more. Probably.

As the wedding ceremony goes by, I catch Tiana tearing up. A part of me felt bad because I remember from one of our conversations how important marriage was for her. And I’m guessing, probably the whole wedding thing too. And sadly, I took that “first time” away from her… and with something as unromantic and crass as our Vegas wedding. Not that I really wanted to wed her in Vegas… but still, I couldn’t help but a feel a little sad for her.

Well, I used to think that marriage was really special too. But since Olivia said no to me… it kind of lost its meaning for me. It just dawned on me, if she said yes… we would have probably been married by now too. f**k. Thankfully, my thoughts are interrupted as everyone stands up clapping. The wedding was done. I follow the other guests as we wait for the wedding party and the couple to exit. I see Tiana scanning the crowd. She smiles when she sees me and walks towards me.

“My best friend is married.” She smiles as a tear falls down her face.

 “You don’t seem too happy about it?” I teasingly asked her as I reach up and wipe her tears with my fingers.

“Of course I am. I know that she and Stan would have a wonderful life together. But I’m going to miss her.” She pouts.

She looked so damn cute. I couldn’t help it… I pull her face close and I plant a gentle kiss on her forehead. As I pull away from her, she had a horrified look on her face as she was looking at someone past my shoulders. I turn around to see who she was looking at and I see a girl, maybe in her early 20s who had a shocked and pained look on her face.

“I’m sorry, Tiana.” I find myself apologizing to her, not really knowing why.

She looks up at me and timidly says, “It’s not your fault. It’s just…. that’s Bryan’s sister.”

We’re interrupted as the crowd around us starts cheering and rose petals are thrown all over as Stan and Kylie are welcomed by the guests.
