The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 26

''Cold feet?'' He asks, making me turn to look at him.

There are differences between Alain and I but there are also a lot of similarities. We're quite the opposite when it comes to our personality or attitude but when it comes to our features, we can actually be mistaken as fraternal twins. Other than that, both of our bodies are lean but his are slightly bigger than mine, yet it's unseen without observation.

''No . . . not really. Just scared if I might trip,'' I answer, leaving him laughing at my respond before joining him, afterwards.

He clears his throat, ''I was at your spot once and I know how it feels like. There's a lot of fun things when it comes to getting married, especially to the love of your life but there are also a lot of responsibilities. You're no longer a single man and things will start to change. In fact, a lot of things will start to change—when you buy dinner, you have to buy one for her. When you go grocery shopping, you can't just shop for one. When you sleep, you have to make sure that she's sleeping beside you. If not, you have to start worrying.'' He says.

''Well, you've been in the husband department for quite some time and I'm just here, minutes away from joining you.'' I reply.

''I still remember when we were kids. We were busy playing around and teasing Mia but now . . . we're both adults. We worry about a lot of things,'' He stops for awhile. ''I'm actually happy that you've come to your senses and I want you to be happy, too.'' He pats onto my shoulder, leaving me smiling.

Within seconds, Marie appears at the door and gestures for us to make our way towards the wedding hall. Alain trails behind as we both trail behind her, making sure we're heading towards the right room instead of being lost in the public library which is something pretty often being experienced by other brides and grooms, here.

My eyes wander around the amount of people that are seated as they turn to look at me, walking down the aisle with a smile plastered on my face. Fortunately, the wedding is a private wedding where only both of our families and friends are only attending. I've made sure of it as Flynn was the one who was checking the list of guests, not letting anyone in without an invitation card.

Dimitri, Alain and Flynn was trailing behind me when I was walking down the aisle but now they're all standing near me—waiting for the arrival of the bride.

To my surprise, an instrumental version of My Heart Will Go On starts to play by two violinists which causes me to clench my jaw in order to hold back my nervousness. For some reason, my heartbeat is beating faster than usual as people are starting to stand up and leaving me glancing down the aisle, waiting for the familiar face to show up.
