Chapter 5

The day of the wedding dawned warm and sunny. But as happy as he was for his brother, Scott’s own heart ached. He hadn’t realized how much he’d liked getting the texts about kisses from James until they’d stopped. Not that I can blame him. I was a complete bastard. And when he said it wasn’t over, I really believed him. But I haven’t heard a thing from him since.

As the thought went through his mind, his cellphone dinged to indicate a text had arrived and he flicked it open eagerly.

Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it, according to Bernard Meltzer. I said it wasn’t over. I had a lot to process and to deal with. I’ll see you later. J

For a moment, Scott just clung to the phone, his heart hammering, then he texted back before his courage could desert him.

I look forward to it.

At the smiley emoji he received back, Scott’s heart soared. A second chance. He’s giving me a second chance. I’m not going to fuck it up this time.

However, right then, there was no time for Scott to dwell on anything other than ensuring his brother’s day went well. Dashing into the bathroom, Scott got himself ready and when the limo arrived, he was back in control of himself as he went to pick up his brother.

The bright and sunny weather seemed to be the good omen the day needed. Everything went without a hitch, and Scott beamed proudly as his brother and his new sister-in-law completed their vows and kissed to the congregation’s applause.

Then, to his utter shock, several younger men of Aroha’s family along with her brothers and father, stood and began to perform a haka and Josh joined them, performing it to perfection. At the end, Aroha was crying and laughing in equal measure, while the men slapped Josh on the back.

When the congregation finished applauding, it was time to follow the newly wed bride and groom to the wedding feast as prepared by James. No, Jamie. I want to be able to call him Jamie. Scott looked all around. He’d been unable to catch a glimpse of Jamie during the service, but assumed the other man was toward the back, since he’d want to get out quickly at the end.

People filed through and sat down for the meal. Scott was aware that he’d be sitting closer to his father than he had for a long time. Feeling a light touch to his shoulder, Scott turned to see the man himself and took a deep breath.

“Dad.” Scott nodded, but didn’t make any other kind of gesture. The older man stared at him for a moment.

“Scott. It’s…uh, good to see you.”

“Thanks. It was very good of Josh to ask me to be his best man. I enjoyed it.” That wasn’t what Scott’s dad had expected, and it took the wind out of his sails.

“I had a visit from Aroha.” His father glanced in her direction, and his lips twitched.
