That evening I went home confused. I was glad it was over but we had acted like there was nothing between us. As if we just attended High School together, and I wasn't a family friend or ex-girlfriend.
"That was too weird." Hannah commented plopping down on her bed.
"I know." I said solemnly.
"Em, you shouldn't expect so much out of Brian after what happened." She advised.
"He was so sweet back then though." I explained.
"People change." She said. The thought alarmed me. How could Brian change? As if reading my mind she said, " He's a celebrity now." as if that changed everything. But maybe she had a point. She left me with my thoughts as I drifted asleep- we didn't see the guys again until the wedding.
The ceremony was sweet. Brian was the best man and Adina's sister Marilyn was the maid of honor. I was crying during the whole thing. You could tell they loved each other. I prayed to have someone love me one day. Hannah, didn't cry but agreed that they were obviously in love. At the ceremony, I made a bold move and made sure that Hannah did too. I asked Brian to dance.
"You know I am not much of a dancer." He said.
"Brian, are you going to dance with me or not?" I asked. We exchanged smiles of those who know each other well and he stood up. I led him to the floor. The song was 'Two out of Three ain't bad' By Meatloaf. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his around my waist. He looked great in his tux and it felt so good to have his arms around me once again. I noticed Hannah asking AJ to dance and smiled. But my intention to watch over her faded as we linked eyes. I could feel every thought in his brain running through my bloodstream like electricity. I also felt myself moving closer, causing our bodies to touch more. To my disdain, the enchantment was broken as Harold and Adina entered the building. The reception was normal and I didn't get to talk to Brian until after Harold and Adina left. Hannah had been out of my site for over an hour but I wasn't worried, AJ and her had been getting along wonderfully.
