Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
Join the club,\u201d Orion muttered. \u201cShe was up at five making lists.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to make sure we could get appointments quickly,\u201d Sarah said. \u201cThese places book up fast, especially the good bridal shops.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d I said, meaning it. \u201cThis is already taking so much pressure off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m here for,\u201d Sarah said with a smile. \u201cOh, and I called Kiara this morning too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked up at her with interest. \u201cYou did?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
6743\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I told her you want her to be your maid of honor,\u201d Sarah said. \u201cShe was so excited, Athena, like genuinely thrilled, she said she\u2019d be honored and grateful and she couldn\u2019t wait to help with everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt warmth spread through my chest at that. \u201cI\u2019m glad she said yes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you kidding?\u201d Sarah said. \u201cShe practically screamed when I told her, I think I might have damaged my eardrum.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew Sarah was being extra, because Kiara isn\u2019t that type of person. She prioritize silence over words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I don\u2019t act like I know Sarah was been extra, there was no need.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s really sweet,\u201d I said, smiling at the thought of Kiara being that excited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe also said she\u2019s available whenever we need her for planning or shopping or anything,\u201d Sarah continued. \u201cShe wants to be as involved\u00a0<\/p>\n
as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPerfect,\u201d I said. \u201cThe more help the better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI also texted Leah,\u201d Sarah added. \u201cShe\u2019s excited about being a bridesmaid too, she wants to know when we\u2019re going dress shopping so she\u00a0<\/p>\n
can come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should all go together,\u201d I said. \u201cMake a day of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI love that idea,\u201d Sarah agreed. \u201cWe can make it fun, maybe get lunch, make it a girls\u2018 day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds perfect,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan was watching this exchange with an amused expression, and I caught him trying not to smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
11:49 Fri, Jan 23\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Nothing,\u201d he said, \u201cJust thinking about how Derek is going to react when I ask him to be my best man\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t asked him yet?\u201d 1 said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A\u00a0<\/p>\n
874\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Not officially. Tristan admitted. \u201cI mean, I assume he knows he\u2019s going to be, but I should probably actually ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should call him,\u201d I suggested, trying to keep my voice casual even though I was dying to see Derek\u2019s reaction to finding out Kiara\u00a0<\/p>\n
was my maid of honor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow?\u201d Tristan asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d I said. \u201cThe sooner the better, that way he can start planning too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion was trying very hard not to laugh now, clearly understanding what I was doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d Tristan said, pulling out his phone. \u201cLet me call him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He put the phone on speaker and we all waited while it rang, Derek answered on the third ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s eight in the morning,\u201d Derek\u2019s voice came through, rough with sleep. \u201cThis better be important.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is,\u201d Tristan said. \u201cI need to ask you something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t it wait until a reasonable hour?\u201d Derek grumbled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Tristan said, grinning now. \u201cWill you be my best man?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was silence on the other end for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor your wedding?\u201d Derek finally asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, for my bar mitzvah,\u201d Tristan said sarcastically. \u201cYes, for my wedding.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen is it again?\u201d Derek asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFour months,\u201d Tristan said. \u201cWe\u2019re doing both ceremonies, mating and human wedding.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth ceremonies, that\u2019s ambitious,\u201d Derek said, and I could hear him moving around, probably getting out of bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, of course I\u2019ll be your best man, did you really think I\u2019d say no?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t think you would but I figured I should ask officially,\u201d Tristan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
11:49 Fri, Jan 23\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 314\u00a0<\/p>\n
*Consider me officially on board,\u201d Derek said. \u201cWhat do I need to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Show up, wear a suit, don\u2019t lose the rings,\u201d Tristan said. \u201cThe usual best man stuff.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can handle that,\u201d Derek said. \u201cAnything else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, actually.\u201d Tristan said, and I saw him glance at me with a knowing look. \u201cAthena\u2019s maid of honor is Kiara.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a long pause on the other end, long enough that I thought maybe the call had dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
