ALEX’S POV
I feel very nervous. Today is my engagement party with Nicholas.
I feel like I am attending my wedding and not an engagement because of my nervousness.
Nic is with me now. He is very handsome now in his tuxedo. He looks very formal now unlike what he usually wears. Well he is director so he doesn’t need to wear formal clothes unlike Bryan who most of the time wore a formal attire.
Nic felt my nervousness that’s why he hold my hand and squeeze it lightly.
“Relax.” He whispered.
I smiled at him. Alex relax. Inhale… Exhale…
The emcee went to the stage and introduced himself, I was even more nervous because he will soon call us to go on stage.
“Let’s call on stage Mr. Nicholas Romualdez and his future wife Ms. Alexandria Ramirez.” After his opening spiels.
Nic guided me as we went up stage. When I went in front, I already saw Bryan. I swallowed hard. He is looking at me intently, he didn’t take his eyes on me.
I don’t know what he is thinking right now. I can’t read what is on his mind. He looks so cold and hurt at the same time.
My heart hurts for him.
Why my love life is so complicated?!
Can’t we just love each other without other people hurting?!
Why did he have to be my best friend’s ex boyfriend. And why did I have a fiancee now.
Is this fate way of saying that we are not destined for each other?
Nic and I ended our speech and then our parents introduced us to their friends, business partners and relatives.
The band that was invited to our engagement party started playing.
Nic and I were the first to dance.
I am happy when I am with Nic. He is fun to be with. I know he is not hard to love.
But why is that even though I smile and laugh, I still can’t say 100% that I’m really happy?
The song ended and Nic and I decided to go back.
Before we got to our table, I immediately saw the person I had been looking for.
“Bryan…” I whispered.
After we went down from the stage, I never saw him again.
I kept thinking that he maybe he already left. He gave up on me and he has no intention of pursuing me anymore.
Alex why are you sad at the thought that he will not pursuing you anymore? Shouldn’t you be happy because there is no more complication now?
I don’t know with you Alex.
I was back to reality when I heard his voice.
He offered his hand “May I have this dance?” He asked me but his eyes is on Nic, asking for his approval.
Nic smile. He gave my hand to Bryan. “Sure.”
Bryan hold my hand tight as he lead me to the dance floor.
He grab my waist that made me closer to him. I can smell his breath. I can feel his heartbeat that is moving so fast.
*For all of my life you are the one, I will love you faithfully forever. For all of my life you are the one. I give to you greatest love for all of my life.
“I love you Alex.” He whispered.
I felt goose bump.
“I love you, I will not give you up, I will fight for you, for us. And I will make you fall for me to the point that you will learn to fight for me.”
