“Yeah, I guess.” She shrugged. “Or we could just ditch and go and get some more mimosas? That sounds like an even better plan.”
“We can’t ditch.” I laughed at the suggestion, though I wasn’t altogether sold on having to sit through the wedding of two people I didn’t really like.
“Please.” Alice made a hopeful face at me and I laughed again as she made a drinking motion. This time my head fell back as I laughed and I could feel someone staring at me. I looked to the left and there I saw a tall, brooding man with dark hair and a frown on his face about two hundred yards away from us. I attempted to give him a smile, but instead of smiling back, he gave me a disdainful eyebrow raise and looked away.
“That guy is an asshole.” I whispered to Alice, the laughter gone from my voice.
“What guy?” She turned around and looked towards the entrance of the church, but the rude man had gone and a group of older women were walking towards us.
“There was a guy up there just now, who was looking at me as if I were some commoner on his estate or something.” I could feel my face flushing red with anger as I remembered his superior look. “I’m not sure who he thinks he is, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with laughing in a church.”
“Yeah, that’s weird.” Alice nodded. “Maybe he’s related to Joanna or something, I think her entire family is full of snobs. No one is good enough for her.”
“I don’t get why he was glaring at me.” I said again. “I wasn’t doing anything wrong.”
“Forget him, he most probably needs to get laid.” Alice said loudly and I groaned as I saw a priest behind her.
“Good Afternoon Father.” I said meekly, my face burning in shame now.
“Good Afternoon.” His eyes burned into mine and I knew that he’d heard Alice and was thinking that both of us needed to go to some sort of confession; even though neither one of us was Catholic. He continued walking past us and I grabbed Alice’s arm.
“Let’s go outside and wait until it fills up a bit. I feel like we’re just making a spectacle of ourselves.”
“Sex with the group would be making a spectacle of myself, not just standing here.” She rolled her eyes and I felt a wave of compassion towards her.
“Are you okay? This must be hard?”
“My ex-boyfriend is marrying my ex roommate and friend, what’s to be upset about?” Alice sighed and then shook her head. “I don’t really care. He had a small dick. That’s Joanna’s problem now.”
“Hahaha.” I started laughing again and this time, tears were rolling down my face. I wasn’t sure why I found it so funny, but I suspect that the mimosas had worked their magic and I was feeling more relaxed than usual. “You never told me that Luke wasn’t good in bed.”
“He was good with his tongue.” She grinned. “That was good enough.”
“Hmm,” I scratched my head. “Let me think.” I closed my eyes and tried to think about a guy going down on me versus a guy entering me. “Cock or tongue, what do I prefer?” I giggled and then opened my eyes. Alice’s face looked stiff and I turned to the right of me and saw the brooding man from earlier, standing right next to Alice. His green eyes looked amused as he stared at me. He was gorgeous and I was having a hard time breathing as I realized what I’d just said, out loud. I wanted to groan, but kept my mouth shut as I stared at him. His lips looked pink and soft and he had a light, dark beard, that looked sexy as hell on him, and I wasn’t even a girl that was into facial hair. I could feel my face burning up as I stared at him. All I could think about was his beard and I wondered if it would tickle me if he went down on me. I wanted to slap myself for my inappropriate thoughts. That was it, no more mimosas in the morning.
“Did you make up your mind?” The man said slowly, his voice a deep, husky growl that made me think of dark rooms and handcuffs.
“Make up my mind about what?” I squeaked out, knowing exactly what he was talking about.
“Your preference.” He grinned and licked his lips slowly. My eyes followed his long tongue and I knew he was teasing me, but I didn’t care.
“Yes.” I said softly and flicked my long brown hair back.
“And?” He leaned forward, his eyes letting me know he was attracted to me. I looked at Alice and she was grinning at the two of us as she took a step back.
“And that’s for me to know.” I smiled at him sweetly, though my stomach was churning.
“What if I want to find out?” His eyes gazed into mine, searching and he touched my shoulder lightly.
