�Actually I invited him, Alex,� Howard said.
�I thought you didn�t want him here?� Brian questioned, as Nickolas walked over. Nickolas stopped beside Brian, as he and Howard glared at each other �Hey, man.�
�Hey,� Nickolas said, as he and Brian did a manly handshake.
�I only invited you, because of Sunn,� Howard said to Nickolas. �If it wasn�t for her happiness you wouldn�t be here. I want Sunn happy and if she�s happy with your presence then so be it. Remember, I did it for Sunshine.� He walked away.
�Glad to see you two getting along so well,� Alexander said sarcastically and Nickolas gave a little grin.
�I kind of talked him into inviting you,� Kevin admitted. �I told him that if he really loved Sunshine and wants her happy he�d let you come to the wedding.�
�Thanks I guess,� Nickolas said.
�Don�t worry about it,� Kevin said and walked away.
�Glad ya came,� Alexander said patting Nickolas� back then walking away.
Brian looked at Nickolas and said, �All right, Nick, spill it.�
�Spill what?� Nickolas asked confused and sitting in the back pew.
�What�s bothering you? Don�t say nothing, because you have a troublesome look and I�m your best friend.�
�Sunnie and I just realized something this morning.� He leaned back in the pew. �It�s crazy. This whole wedding is crazy, Rok.�
�You lost me. What�s crazy?�
�Jo and D�s relationship. They�re basically using each other, because they can�t have me and Sunnie.�
�Nick, you�re confusing the heck out of me. Please start from the beginning. What did you and Sunn realize this morning? And why can�t they have you and Sunn? You anyway?�
�I went by the condo last night, talked to Sunnie, and we fell asleep on the couch. The girls came by about 10:30 and Jo started flipping out on Sunnie, because she missed her hair appointment, and calling me an ass. Anyhow, Sunnie confronted her about being in love with me and��
�Josephine�s in love with you?�
�She didn�t come out and say it, but the look in her eyes said it all.�
�This gets interesting everyday.�
�I don�t love Jo. I love Sunnie.�
�I know. Are you going to tell D?�
�What for? I�d rather have you guys throw me out of the dressing room in green bikini briefs than tell Howie about his bride-to-be.� Brian only looked at him. �We ain�t friends anymore, remember? Besides, let him find out on his own; he made Josephine find out on her own.�
�If that�s how you feel.�
�It is. I only came for Sunnie, because she really wanted me here. She doesn�t know I�m here though.�
�Should I go tell her?�
�And ruin the surprise for Josephine? No way. They can see me sitting here.�
�You�re terrible, Nick.�
�I know.�
�Hey, Rok,� Sunshine interrupted and not seeing Nickolas. �Can I borrow your phone?�
�What for?� Brian asked smiling.
Sunshine smiled and said, �I want to call my Snuggle Bums since people are mean and ignorant and won�t leave him come for me.�
Brian continued smiling while saying, �Why don�t you just look to your left?� Sunshine looked at him confused. �Do it.�
�Why? Sunshine asked and Nickolas stood up, but she didn�t notice. �What are you going to do?�
�Nothing,� Brian said. �Just look please.� Brian smiled as Sunshine slowly turned her head, but kept her eyes on Brian. She then slowly took her gaze from Brian and her eyes fell upon Nickolas and she smiled the biggest smile she could.
�Nick!� Sunshine yelled and jumped in his arms.
�Sunnie,� Nickolas putting his arms around her and she kissed him, as Brian laughed. �Not so loud.�
�Sorry. What are you doing here?�
�Howie invited me, because he wants you to be happy. I only came because of you.�
�I�m glad you came. Now I can enjoy this messed up wedding.�
�Same here,� Brian said and Sunshine looked at him. �Nick told me.�
�Crazy ain�t it?�
�Very.�
�Sunn, they�re ready,� Venus said and spying Nickolas. �Hey, Nick.�
�Hey,� Nickolas said.
�I�ll ask later,� Venus said. �It�s time, Sunn.�
�Ok,� Sunshine said. �Nick�s here and I�m happy now.� Nickolas smiled and kissed her. �I have to go though.� She kissed Nickolas again. �See ya in a little.� She gave Nickolas another kiss and walked away.
�Josephine�s going to be ticked,� Venus said, as Kevin, Alexander, and Destiny approached.
�Let�s take our seats,� Kevin said. �Are you joining us, Nick?�
�Yeah,� Nickolas said. �Just as long as I have the end so Josephine won�t miss me.� They just shook their heads and Brian pushed Nickolas to the front of the church. They sat in the second pew on Howard�s side and Nickolas and Howard just glared at each other. Nickolas smiled while saying to Brian, �This is so stupid, but funny.�
�Then why are you here?� Destiny asked, as Alexander walked to the front.
�For Sunnie and to watch Jo and D humiliate themselves in front of all these people,� Nickolas stated.
�You�re terrible, Nickolas,� Destiny said and Nickolas only smiled.
The music began playing and everyone looked to the back as the doors opened. They saw Danielle standing there and she started walking down the aisle. She smiled when she saw Nickolas and smiled, as Brian blew her a kiss. She got to the front and Sunshine started walking down the aisle. Nickolas smiled at her and Howard only shook his head. When Sunshine got to the front the pianist began to play the bridal march. Everyone stood up and kept their eyes on the back, as Josephine and her dad appeared. They began walking down the aisle and Nickolas only had a smug smile on his face, as Josephine noticed him. Josephine kept her smile the whole time and Nickolas only gave her his smug, sexy grin.
�Behave,� Brian whispered to him.
�I�m not going to do anything,� Nickolas whispered in return. Brian just smiled, as they looked to the front.
Everyone sat and the Preacher asked, �Who gives this woman to this man?�
�Her mother and I do,� Daniel, Josephine�s father said. He kissed Josephine�s cheek and went to sit with Constance.
�We are all gathered here today�� the Preacher began and everyone watched with interest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole ceremony took about twenty minutes and Nickolas snickered under his breath the whole time. Brian slapped him, but Nickolas just smirked. As everyone stood up and congratulated them, besides Nickolas, Josephine and Howard walked up the aisle. Nickolas stood up when Alexander and Sunshine started walking up the aisle.
Alexander looked at Nickolas, pointed at Sunshine, and mouthed, �She�s mine.�
�You�re dead,� Nickolas mouthed in return while smiling and Brian slapped him. After everyone was up the aisle, the guests started going up and congratulating them. Nickolas walked up with Brian, as Brian hugged Josephine, Nickolas said, �Bravo you guys.� He clapped. �Well done. You managed to humiliate yourself successfully in front of everyone. I�m really impressed.�
�Let�s go, Nick,� Brian said pushing him and they walked towards Sunshine.
�What is he doing here?� Josephine asked through a smile.
�I only did it for Sunn,� Howard replied also through a smile. �I just want her to be happy and Kevin laid the guilt trip.�
�Well, I don�t want him here.�
�Can we not get into this now? We just got married.�
�But we�ll discuss it later.�
�Fine.� They continued with the guests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nickolas and Brian joined Sunshine, Danielle, and Alexander outside. They walked over to them as Alexander held onto Sunshine from going after Nickolas. Nickolas walked up to them and kissed Sunshine.
�Hands off,� Alexander said. �She�s mine.�
�You only wish,� Sunshine replied. �Leave me go.�
�Never,� Alexander said.
�Ain�t one woman enough, Alex?� Danielle questioned.
�Well, uh�� Alexander said.
�It�s Alex so no,� Brian replied.
�Then I�ll go find Destiny,� Nickolas smirked.
�On second thought you can have Sunn,� Alexander said pushing Sunshine to Nickolas and walking away.
�I knew it�d work,� Nickolas said.
�Nick was being so rude,� Brian said. �He wouldn�t listen to me.�
�This was a messed up crazy wedding,� Nickolas replied. �I couldn�t help but laugh. They only humiliated themselves.�
�They did it anyway,� Danielle said.
�Because they can�t have us,� Sunshine reminded her.
�Let�s put it this way,� Nickolas began, �they did it all for the nookie.�
�Perhaps,� Brian agreed. �But there has to be some kind of love between them to get married.� Nickolas just looked at them, as Alexander and Destiny walked up.
�They�re ready to do pictures,� Destiny said.
�Alright,� Danielle said and they all walked inside.
