saunzer & AjaBarham Thank you so much for your votes!

That's Sam, above.
————————————————————

I think, I made a bad decision. I shouldn't go to his house. But I think it's too late, cause James's butler opens the door.

"Hello ma'am! Sir is waiting for you in the living room. May I take your coat?"

Hearing the pleasant tone of the butler, my racing heart slows a bit. Shrugging my coat as elegantly as possible.

I walk towards the room with my head held high. As I near, I can hear two loud booming laughter.

That throws me off a little and now I am standing in front of them having my hand pressed against my heart. The worse part is both of them have halted their laughter and are looking at me straight.

My eyes find James first, I am shocked is an understatement to what I am feeling right now. He is in a casual blue jean jacket and Levi's pants. He looks so normal?

I can also see him and his best friend looking me from up to down. Surprisingly, both of them are warm glances. But, the best part is James is also shocked looking at me.

The thing is as I said earlier, I wanted this evening to be a little fun. I mean I have never ever worn a dress like this before in my life. But seeing this in the clothing store hanging so proudly. I couldn't help but buy it and wear it today.

Red is a color, I don't usually prefer to wear. Especially a dress with a low V cut, I feel very exposed. But at the same time, I am feeling confident as well. Still my arms and stomach is being shown out a little.

But for today, my aim is not to scrutinize but rather be free and make my fiancé cry a little. Is it too much to ask for?

"Hello guys! If you have both stopped gawking at me like hungry vultures, can I know what got you both so laughing when I got here?" I say in the most lowest tone with a hush. Maybe in my mind this is called a sexy voice. But outside it might be like some fork scrapping a plate.

"Oh please! I am sure you would have been used to people looking and appreciating your beauty all the time. We are not doing anything less. By the way I am Sam, this guy's best friend." He nudges James and stretches his hand out to me.

I walk forward and place my hand, I thought it was going to be a handshake. But he turns it and places a kiss on the back. Heat rushes to my face and I smile cheekily at him.

"Enough of this bullshit!" James screams and walks out of the room.

I look at him confusedly and turn to Sam, to see his reaction. But he shrugs his shoulders and mumbles "Men!"

I laugh at that and sit down next to him. I adjust the fabric in front of my stomach. It  is like a inbuilt mechanism of mine, from ages. When I sit down, I always buff out the fabric in the front. But since this fabric was not like the normal ones I usually wear. My round stomach was all out.

Thank god I bought a big purse, I place it on my knees and it thankfully will hide my mess.

I look up to see Sam looking at me sternly.
I smile and ask him, "What happened? Is there something on my face?"

He shakes his head, but still continues looking at me.

I look around not knowing what to do, cause now his gaze is kind of irritating me. As I was about to stand up, making an excuse to find James.

He holds my wrist, I look down at my hand. And he says, "What's the hurry baby girl?"

I shrug of his hand in disgust and walk two steps back.

"Are you crazy Sam, I am your best friend's fiancé. Is this the way you act?"
I say with my voice increasing with each word.

He gets up and starts walking closer to me, "Darling, you can scream more louder, don't worry, James won't hear. This house is very big. Also, I know some places where it is sound proofed completely. What do you say?"

He says the last sentence close to my ears. It irked me so much, in one swift motion, I slapped right across his cheek.

My hand is burning in impact, as I look down at it. I hear a loud laughter, being very confused I look up to see, the red cheeked Sam is the one laughing.

Now I am in full panic mode, I think he is a psycho in loose or something. And also, I guess James has something to do with this. I think, this is his idea to get rid of me.

I grab my purse and start running to the main door. Again, he catches my wrist and sobers up from his laugh and says, "Oh my god! Chill! I am so sorry, it was a prank."

The fuck!

Still being a little paranoid, I shrug of his hand. He sees that and lifts his hands up.

"Damn, I am so sorry. I thought of pranking you both. I thought you would run off to him complaining. But you slapped me. Wow!" He says with a huge smile.

I smile nervously at that time James enters, "Wow you guys are still flirting! Want some beer?"

Sam nods his head and James throws at him one can and he catches it easily and jumps onto the couch.

James also joins him shortly.

"I think I will leave now. It was nice meeting you, Sam." I say rushed. I really wanted to be out of this place cause I think the testosterone in the air is too much.

"Oh! Babe! Why so fast? You just came here, I still have to convince you to leave James and marry me instead." Sam says jokingly.

I shake off my head smiling and look up to James.

He is not even looking at me, instead all his focus is on the TV.

"Today the match is between the Arsenal and Manchester right?" I ask confidently.

My god you should have seen the way how James's head moved in lightening speed towards me.

Sam was just shocked and impressed.

"Woah! You watch football? James you have done good!" Sam pats his shoulder.

"Yes, since childhood. But nowadays with work and all, I just have time to watch the highlights."

"Oh! Ok join us then, let's watch together." He says patting the seat next to him.

I look up to James once again, I don't even know why I am seeking his permission. He just looks at me and then at Sam.

"Yeah sure why not! It will be so much fun." Sarcasm was dripping in each of his words. But I rolled my eyes and sat next to  Sam.

***
"Hurray! Arsenals win again! Yay! You guys suck!" I scream throwing the empty beer cans at both of them.

James looks at me angrily and Sam just brushes it off.

"Emma, how many beers did you even have?" Sam asks amused.

"I think two, no wait I guess five." I giggle and fall onto the couch on my back.

"Hmm, this couch is so comfy! It so big and soft!" I say and move till I find the comfortable position.

My dress gets yanked down, I look up to see it's the red faced James again.

"Keep your ugly hands off me loser! Don't touch me! Sam..Sam where are you? Protect me from this evil red entity!"

Sam laughs again, his laugh is so good. James should laugh often too. I think I should ask Sam to give laughing lessons to James. I giggle thinking about it.

"My god! She is wasted dude, I don't think so, it's safe for her to drive back." I hear Sam say. His voice sounds like ice cream, no it sounds like water, like the ocean. I giggle once again and turn flat on my stomach.

"No shit Sherlock!" James says angrily, I wonder why he is so angry around me all the time. When I came in today, he was laughing and all, I could even see the faint crease lines near his eyes.

But when I am around he is always grumpy and irritated.

Slowly tears start falling out from my eyes. I press my face down onto the pillow, so that no one can see me cry but a loud hiccup leaves out from my mouth. Feeling very embarrassed, my shoulders start shaking violently and I cry loudly.

"Why is she crying now? What's wrong with her?" James asks irritation clear in his voice.

Hearing that I cry more louder. Sam slowly walks up to me and in low voice asks, "Hey! It's alright! What's the matter? Pretty girls like you shouldn't cry!"

I lift up my face and look into his gorgeous face. That's when I notice, Sam is really very handsome. He has high rise cheek bones and full lips.

I touch his lips, to make it stop moving. Maybe he is talking, but who cares. I just want to touch his lips, maybe he has some lip fillers. I think I should ask him where he got it done from?"

"Wow! Now she is touching your lips, great!" James folds his arms.

I look at him and see his arms bulge out from his sleeves, he took off his jacket and now his arms are on full display through his right white T-shirt.

As I was eye-raping him, I hear some muffled voice. When I look down, I still have my fingers clutching Sam's lips. I take off my hand immediately and then say, "Oh my god! So sorry dude! I didn't notice that, I was busy eye-raping my fiancé. Isn't he so hot!?"

After saying those words, I quickly slap my hand onto my mouth. I look up to James who is now looking at me with a shocked expression.

I look at Sam and he is grinning being very amused at my situation. I scream at him mentally and try to get off the couch.

Try is the key word, cause I tumble off and now I am on the ground. I scream out as my ass hurts so badly.

I can hear two distinct loud laughs as I look up it's Sam as usual, but there is a one with a velvety laugh and that's from James. I couldn't believe my eyes and slowly my lips move up and I start laughing too.

The falling on the ground, surely sobered me up. After laughing for a while, we all sober up from our laughs. Fortunately, I am back to my senses.

Feeling the most embarrassed, I get up slowly and the motion kind of makes my vision go blurry for a second.

In no time, a pair of strong arms circles my waist, familiar smell hits up my nostrils. As I open my eyes, I see two brown orbs with concern looking at me.

"You alright?" James asks, his alcohol mixed with mint breath falls onto my face.

I nod my head slowly, I hear someone clearing their throat. That's when the warm hands leave me all of a sudden.

Sam gives away a knowing grin and says, "Ok guys, I will make a move. It was really so good to meet you Emma! You are so cute and pretty. You will be seeing me a lot, cause I am the best man, for the wedding. So Adios! Have fun! Be safe kids!"

James just grunts out as a response and I wave my hand, I didn't know what to say or do.

For a second, we both stand there, not moving a inch.

After a long pregnant pause, I clear my throat and say, "Hmm! Ok! I think I will go as well! Bye!"

James immediately says, "No! Don't go!"

I turn up confused, "Wait what?"

"You are drunk dummy! You didn't have five cans of beer alone, you even had three shots of vodka and two glasses of red wine." He says as a matter of fact.

My goodness, I drank a lot, that's why I was talking like a mad woman.

Nodding my head, I take up my phone. And start searching for a cab.

"What are you doing?" James asks as he picks up beer cans and empty chips packets from the ground.

"Searching for cabs!" I say irritatedly
How is there no cabs available. That's when I look up at the time it's 1am.

I can't even believe it's so late. Thank god, tomorrow is Sunday. But thinking about getting up with a killer hangover, makes my head hurt.

"What! Can't find any? I mean it's the weekend, it's always difficult to find one free one. If you want you can stay here for the night!"

I look up from my screen immediately and he continues to clear of the table and now he is moving to clean the couch.

Knowing it's probably the best idea.

I mumble, "Yeah sure! Where is the guest room?"

"Oh sorry! There isn't any, you have to sleep with me!" He says casually.
