The probability of falling in love with a stranger is 60-50%, but based on research and renowned scientists who carried out social experiments to prove their points, the chances of falling in love with someone that will not love you is 99.99999%. Hence, I am a living proof that the thesis is correct. Standing as the chief bride's maid for my best friend and the man I love so much.

"Do you Mr Anderson Jackson take Miss Sandra Michael as your lawful wedded wife, to love and cherish her, in sickness and in health, in rich and in poor, till death do you part?" the priest announces

"Yes I do" with a smile on his face, Anderson accepted.

I could hear the sound of my heart, the bouquet in my hands became unsteady due to the constant shaking of my hands. I could not hear anything else due to the screeching sound I seem to hear, the beating of my heart became loud and if possible, could be heard a mile away.

Please lord

Please lord

Please lord

I chant in my head, I thought by now I will be used to the pain of seeing the man I love with someone, not just anyone but my best friend who I love dearly.

Lord give me strength for this day.

Having regulated my breathing and gotten my emotions under control, I tried my best to focus on the wedding.

"I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" the crowd cheer in happiness as the couple kiss. It was official and the jubilation just began.

RECEPTION

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Jackson" I hug my best friend even though my heart is bleeding, it is still her special day and I would not ruin it.

"Kate thank you so much for making this day possible, without you this-us will not have happened," Sandra said lovingly while holding my hand

"Yes Kate thank you so much, you have always been there for us and without you, this marriage will not be possible" Anderson moves closer to his wife as he appreciatively touches my shoulder.

"That is what friends are for and I wish you both a blissful marriage" I answered with the fakest smile I could muster even though it felt like someone was stabbing my heart.

"It is time for the newly wedded couple to come on stage for their dance" the M.C announces.

Sandra glances at me as her husband drags her to the stage. Lifting my arms in a supporting way motioning for her to go on, with one last look she turns to her husband.

PERFECT-ED SHEERAN PLAYING

They look so perfect and in love as they dance to the music, looking at each other like they are the only two people on the planet.

I could not help but smile and listen sadly to the music;

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect

I don't deserve this

You look perfect tonight

With the scene in front of me, a lone tear fall from my eyes and though I could not say it I knew that I have finally let go.

Walking towards the door, Sandra do not know that I am leaving and I did not inform her or anyone that I am moving to a different country. I have already sorted everything out, I got a transfer, said goodbye to my family, tied loose ends and finally, it is time for me to let go and heal. It might be selfish of me not to tell my best friend of 20 years but, just this once I would like to do something for myself.

With my hand on the door handle, I could not help but hesitate and take a look at the scene of Sandra and Anderson celebrating with their families and friends. They look happy and with that, I push open the door,

Goodbye, my unrequited love.

BAR

Classic, a lonely girl in a bar drinking her problems away. Looking around the bar I could not help but feel more lonely and jealous. Women being approached by men, some with their boyfriend? I guess, it is none of my business but I

"Hello beautiful" A masculine voice as deep as the ocean and one that can bring any lady on her knees greets me

I turn around to put a face on that God-given voice and oooh I am not disappointed. A face that puts Henry Cavill's face to shame, Lord of mercy!

A jawline that can slice one into two, lashes that so many women would die, an eyebrow trimmed but yet still full, and heterochromia eye one green and one brown, a lip wide, thin and plum not too pinkish and not too dark like I said perfection. He wore just a simple V-neck polo with a tattoo peeking out his neck, a jean and plain white sneakers but yet he stands out.

Anderson who?

"Done checking me out?" he smirked mischievously

"Not yet, have anyone ever told you how handsome you are? That is a stupid question but wow!" I rush out excitedly while looking at him like a child that has found her favourite toy.

Laughter? Who is laughing- looking up I could not help but be mesmerized by this handsome creature, God surely took his time on this one.

"You are beautiful, damn!" I could not help but say while being fascinated.

"Well that is a first, I heard handsome, devilish, god-like but not beautiful" he smiled and heaven did I feel myself get wetter.

"So what is a beautiful lady as yourself doing out here alone," he asked while taking a seat beside me.

"Getting over an unrequited love" I sipped my drink while falling into deeper thought. Why exactly do I feel comfortable telling him this?

"Care to share?

"Long story cut short, he got married to my best friend today" I gulped my drink in one go. Aick this drink is horrible, why do people take this vodka? Like it tastes so bitter and

Snap! Snap!

"You weren't there for a minute," he said, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear while staring at me

"Do you know you are a beautiful woman, Miss?"

"Catherine but you can call me Kate"

"Catherine and the name is William." he whispered in my ear seductively.

Lord, is that you? My eyes rolled back to my head and I could not help but press my legs together tightly.

"There is a saying, the best way to get over a love is through great sex, so what do you say Catherine" his hands on my thigh moving upwards to my waist in a slow agonizing manner.

I could feel my cheeks automatically redden at the suggestion, but I could not help but consider. Just this once before I disappear, I want to let loose and be wild like Sandra.

"Okay"

HOTEL ROOM

Beep

Beep

Beep

While William inputted the pin to unlock the room door, I could not help but become more nervous and reconsider my decision. What was I thinking agreeing to have sex with a person I barely know, maybe I should cancel this.

"Hey, it being a pleasure meeting you but-"

Pin

Door open

Thump

I could feel my back on the cool wall, as my mouth is being attacked by William. I could not help but go stiff by the unexpected attack on my lips. His hands roam from my waist to grip my breast tightly making me moan and eyes close. Opening my mouth for him to lunge his tongue and explore more. His hand left my breast to my neck as he grips my neck tightly in a choking manner while he still attacks my mouth causing my pussy to open a flow in wetness. His roughness brings me closer to orgasm, my eyes close from the attack he does on my body. Losing the grasp he has on my neck to my hair as he dragged my hair forcing me to move away from him.

"Now, you will address me as sir and do as I say. Once I begin, I will not stop even if you beg, cry or pass out. If you do agree, give me your verbal consent" he states fiercely looking at me with a lustfully gaze.

"Yes sir" I hoarsely say as I try to bring forward my lip to taste his once more.

A beautiful devilishly smile graced his face as he gives me a look that holds a thousand promises.

"Get on your knees"
