My Dad's Bestfriend

Chapter 84 Before The Aisle

"Why are you yawning so much?" Samuel asked, a curious look in his eyes as he glanced at me. The designers were busy checking the fit of his suit.

Even though Evelyn and I were official, it didn't mean I could tell him the truth. If I did, he might forget about his impending wedding and beat me to a pulp, and it dawned on me, I had forgotten to mention - his punches hurt like hell.

"You better not be caught yawning in the videos. I don't need a boring shitty groomsman," Samuel warned, scoffing.

God, he and his antics.

"Don't worry, I won't ruin it for you," I rolled my eyes as one of the dressers approached to fix my tie.

A few moments passed in silence, and I noticed Samuel's expression shifting through a spectrum of colors - red, blue, and even a shade of purple. That was how I came to understand his emotions. Was he getting cold feet already? No fucking way!

He hesitated, and I couldn't quite comprehend his emotions as the hairdresser began fixing his hair and spraying it with some unfamiliar product-don't blame me, I didn't know shit about this stuff, all I knew was my three-in-one body, face and hair wash, "I was...just about to
