Chapter Ten

Nick Oswald

NICK HAD WOKEN UP THE morning after the unexpected dinner with a hangover the likes of which was difficult to shake. It was the kind he would typically have been pissed off about having to deal with, but this time was different. Every time his stomach had lurched uncomfortably, or his temples had throbbed, he had reminded himself where this hangover had come from. This one was born out of his friend's happiness, and that made it totally worth it. He didn't even care when the sickness had taken close to two days to shake, nor had he been righteously pissed off by the reminder that he was getting farther and farther from being a twenty-two-year-old kid every day. Every time he became disgruntled he just reminded himself that he had some planning to do. The morning after the celebration Abel had called and asked Nick to be his best man. Nick had accepted gladly. He wouldn't have admitted it if he'd been asked, but he would have been more than a little bit hurt if it hadn't been him to get the job. He wasn't sure that he was a worthy choice, but he was still happy to do it.

There was only one hitch in the plan. Olivia. He would be the best man, her the maid of honor; it felt like there was nothing he could do to get away from her. He told himself those first couple of days that they still wouldn't need to have much of anything to do with each other, but over the next couple of weeks that had proven to be false. Caroline and Abel wanted a wedding where everything was done together, which meant Nick spent many hours in planning with Olivia. Everything from the joint bachelor-bachelorette party to the wedding and reception themselves, fell to the two of them to plan. Nick expected it to be atrocious. He was planning on it being bad, except that it turned out not to be, after all. It had turned out quite the opposite. Over the days of meetings, both imposed upon them by Abel and Caroline and suggested by Olivia herself, Nick had discovered that he kind of liked Olivia. No. Scratch that. He didn't kind of like her, just outright did. Not only that, but it was getting harder for him to stop himself thinking about the brief time they had spent locked in the pantry together. Being close to her was a trigger all on its own. The smell of her hair, the way she chewed on the corner of her bottom lip when she was thinking really hard about something. The more time he spent with her, the harder he found it not to reach out and touch her bare skin, just to see if it felt as smooth as he imagined. It got so that he couldn't go to sleep without dreaming about her. It was a problem that needed remedying, which was what had led him to his current distraction.
