chapter 1

My boyfriend of three years proposed to me last week and we are officially planning our wedding,

I have been having cold feet since he proposed, although he is very adorable and sweet to me even more than I deserve, I still think I don't want to spend the rest of my life with him, he is the type of person who if you told him to sit he literally would,

I think over the years we formed a friendly bond I never had with anyone, and even if I'm not in love with him, I'll do this for the sake of our friendship.

John had been with me through my difficult years in college and was my ride or die.

plus we haven't even had sex, saying stuffs about after marriage and all.

To be fair I have been sex starved since forever, although I love sex I would never cheat on my boyfriend that's just my life principal and I follow it very strictly.

Introduction Night

Tonight is the night where everyone from each side of the couples family introduce and get to know each other

"are you enjoying yourself " John asked while walking me around his parents very expensive and huge mansion.

"yeah, well what can I say, it's nice meeting new people and especially new people that are going to become family " I said

He smiled, he has always liked my sense of humor.

John hugged me suddenly and whispered "thank you for doing this with me, I love you Cynthia "

"I love you too " I replied without enthusiasm

John's mother called everyones attention to the stage where she stood

"Thank you all for coming over tonight and also on a short notice"

" I would like to introduce a member of the family that has been away for years and is now back from overseas, this is a surprise even to me, cause he never told me he would be coming "

"everyone please meet Christian, who is my late sisters son and whom I had raised as my own son"

John rolled his eyes

"I have always hated him, he takes everything I have as his own" John whispered to me. I giggled

"so everyone please put your hands together for my very beloved adopted son Cristian "

everyone clapped their hands for this mysterious person has a figure approached

" he is even stealing our highlight, he clearly hasn't changed, mom spoilt him rotten " John expelled

I was already on the verge of tears from laughing so hard. John can be very funny when he is frustrated, and this person is clearly on his toes.

I was still laughing at John when I saw my ex approach the stage in the name of the person John's mother called out

my breathing changed heavily, and memories that I had tried as much as possible to hide began flooding my senses

He gazed right at me as he took the microphone and started talking

...

my sense of hearing went completely off as I stood struck to my position and started remembering my days with Pete
