She groans, clearly annoyed.
“Hey man, just wanted to say how cool it was that you fought and got married on the same day, just wanted to show my support,” an unfamiliar voice sounds from behind me.
Turning, I find Camden shaking Jake The Snake Adam’s hand. I frown, curious why he’s at my wedding.
“Thanks man,” Camden juts his chin out, slapping Jake’s shoulder.
“Who is that fuck me stick?” Chloe says way too loudly. My eyes widen as I look over my shoulder at Chloe. My face conveying how crude she really is.
“That is the guy Camden just fought. Hence the bruised and bloody face.”
“Introduce me.” She shoves me forward, not giving me a chance to say no. I scowl, irritated she wants me to play matchmaker.
“Aw, the bride. You look ravishing.” Jake grabs my hand giving it a kiss and I notice Camden tense at the display of affection. I love seeing Camden become jealous.
“Thank you,” I reply shyly.
“Anyway, congratulations you two. I should probably get going.” Jake gives a curt nod before taking a step back toward the entrance. “Oh,” he stops and points at Camden, “I’ll be taking the Best Fighter Out of Chicago title back.” He points at Camden as he starts to walk backwards. Camden gives him a ‘just try it fucker’ look.
Chloe shoves me again. The woman is relentless in her man hunting.
“This is Chloe,” I blurt. Chloe’s face reddens. I shrug. She knows I suck at talking to guys, especially ones that aren’t hard on the eyes. Jake is the same size as Camden, but is covered in tattoos and has short brown hair. His face is sharp, his eyes matching his chocolate hair. He’s a catch for any girl given his looks. Him coming here to congratulate Camden on his wedding day, I’d say his personality is a plus too.
“Oh, hi Chloe. I don’t think I saw you at the fight?”
“No, I was getting things ready for the wedding.” She smiles the biggest, fakest smile ever and I roll my eyes.
“You look hungry, are you hungry?” He tilts his head to the side with a flirtatious grin spreading across his handsome face.
“Starving,” Chloe says quickly.
Jake holds his hand out and Chloe takes it without a second thought.
“Should we gamble?” I ask, leaving the chapel, not sure what married couples do. I don’t feel any different than I did walking in. Except for this heavy ring on my finger.
“No, I’m taking my wife back to the hotel for a proper fucking.”
THE END
