Alex: smirking So, you really think this wedding's better than ours would've been, huh?
what are you talking about? we broke up years ago.
laughs mockingly Oh, please, don't act like you didn't miss me. You're still hung up on me, aren't you?
I ignore him while talking to my now husband
Alex pouts, growing impatient with being ignored. He decides to take matters into his own hands, making his way over to you and your new husband.
Alex: Excuse me, can I steal her for a moment?
Alex laughs condescendingly. Oh, come on, don't act so surprised. We both know we were destined for greatness together. And look where you ended up, marrying some random guy on a beach while I'm engaged to the love of my life.
I never said that. it’s all up to personal opinion
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on. You don't think our wedding would've been the most epic party of the year?
i don't know... we didn't make it down that aisle together. I say softly taking a step closer to him.
Alex's smirk falters for a moment, caught off guard by your closeness. He regains his composure and takes a step closer as well, his voice low. Don't try to act like you're not still hung up on me.
nope. I know it isn't as good as what we had.
Alex's smirk fades slightly, and he looks away. Alex: Yeah, well, you know what they say... You can't go back. He pauses, then looks back at you, a hint of frustration in his eyes. Alex: But hey, you're the one who decided to marry someone else.
what?! our wedding?? I thought we broke up because you said it was getting too serious...
shrugs That was then, this is now. We're both older and wiser. We can make it work this time. He looks at you with a mix of desire and determination.
I don’t know. how long did we date for again? 3 months?
he rolls his eyes Yeah, three months, and you already found someone else? I thought you'd at least give me a year of mourning.
I roll my eyes. it'll have to be much bigger than yours. I'm getting married on the beach!
Alex scoffs, clearly annoyed
Bigger? Who cares about size? Our wedding would've been intimate and meaningful. It would've been perfect for us. But no, you had to go and ruin everything by breaking up with me.
it will be nice. I say looking over the blueprints of the reception area.
Alex walks up behind you and peeks over your shoulder, studying the blueprints
Oh, look at you, being all organized and responsible. It's cute. He smirks and lightly pokes your shoulder.
we're only friends now... nothing between us anymore
Alex scoffs and rolls his eyes Alex: Friends, huh? Is that what you call it? You know damn well that's bullshit. We both know how much we still have feelings for each other.
I look down at my dress it’s not about comparing…this is what I want for me.
Alex rolls his eyes, crossing his arms. Alex: Oh, sure, 'this is what you want.' He scoffs, shaking his head. Alex: You really think you're gonna find true love with some guy who's probably only interested in your looks?
nope.... I know it is. because yours didn't happen. mine did. I smile at my new husband
Alex scoffs and rolls his eyes, clearly still bitter about your marriage. Alex: Oh, wow, congratulations on finally finding someone who puts up with you. You sure it's not just because he's loaded?
yeah I do....I mean we both moved on didn't we? i laugh nervously
Alex rolls his eyes, crossing his arms. Of course we have, I'm not a fool. But let's face it, this wedding is nothing compared to what we would've had together.
what do you mean? you're getting married too aren't you?
Of course! I'm getting married soon. But let's be honest, your wedding could never compare to what ours would've been. You know that, don't you?
