THE GREAT SURPRISE

Quickly changing into her uniform in the dressing room. Then she left the hot spring basement and took the elevator to the second floor. Suddenly, it stopped, the doors were opening as it welcomed Matt who strolled in with his best man, Declan.

‘Hey, Suzy! How are you today?’ He asked.

Suzy smiled brightly, ‘I'm great and you?’

‘I’m excited for the wedding but literally, I’m a nervous wreck. This is best man, Declan,’ Matt joked before introducing his handsome friend.

Suzy chuckled patted his back, ‘Don’t worry you’ll be awesome’ and faced Declan with a smile, ‘Nice to meet you, Declan.’

‘Nice to meet you too, Suzy,’ Declan grinned. ‘Are you dating?’

Suzy puffed her nose and shook her head, ‘Don’t have time, I’m too busy being me.’

‘Then you don’t mind if I got to know you,’ Declan flirted and the elevator buzzed opening the doors on the first floor.

Tyler appeared glaring at Declan who was way too close to Suzy for comfort, ‘Hey Matt! Suzy…I can’t wait to have dinner with you’ and stepped between them wrapping an arm over her shoulder making her mouth dropped.

‘I thought you said you don’t have time to date,’ Declan pointed to her.

Suzy shoved his arm away, ‘He’s just joking, Declan. He has always be a teaser, right boss?’

‘Boss?’ Declan rose his eyebrow at the owner of the place. ‘Tyler?’

Tyler smirked, ‘In the flesh baby’ and pulled her cheeks, ‘Make sure you take good care of Matt and Skylar this week, Suzy. It’s a special week for them.’

‘Will you quit it, already?’ Suzy frowned thrusting his hands away from her cheeks as she rubbed off the pain pouting.

Matt laughed, ‘I won’t be too surprise if you two turned to be a passionate-love making couple.’

‘What!’ Suzy blushed shaking her head. ‘No way…’ She furrowed her eyebrows and frowned a little.

Tyler smirked, ‘I don’t mind at all’ and laughed making Declan uncomfortable.

Suzy thought aloud softly, ‘I’m sure you do’ and asked, ‘Matt, tell me how did you fall in love with Skylar? How did you two really meet?’ She thought, ‘I need this article to keep my real job. I don’t want to be struck here as a waitress for Tyler.’

Matt blushed, thinking back and answered, ‘Where should I start?’

‘Anywhere you like,’ Suzy smiled interestingly giving her full attention.

Tyler, Dakota and Declan were a bit jealous and annoyed at Matt.

'I met Skylar while I was attending university in London. She and her best friend, Chloe, a good friend of mine, got paired up with me in Business Class. We were supposed to advertise an edible product for our marketing project. After spending time at the local pub drinking beer and talking, I learnt how humble, caring, self-aware, hard working and patience she was. She spent time at my place working with me on the project. Chloe had fallen ill that day, those two were inseparable. Having Skylar all myself that day, opened my heart to loving her. She got shy and playful and then, the wild cowgirl spirit in her surprise me a lot everytime we made out and did more stuff together. From that moment on, I knew she was the woman for me. Before I used to think love at first sight was for the hopeless romantic and it was bullshit. Boy.... was I wrong, when I met Skylar. I can remember everything like it was yesterday. Even though we gone through so many hardships, I have to say God brought us together. I didn’t stop praying for her to be my wife and look at where we are now, a few days away from our marriage,’ Matt beamed joyfully.

Suzy awed without knowing she said, ‘I wish I had what you have, Matt.’

‘From the way I see things, it looks like you have it all, Suzy,’ Matt answered gesturing his eyes to Tyler.

Suzy glanced at Tyler and saw his eyes beaming with a spectacular platinum colour. She sensed the genuine likeness he had for her and made her blushed shyly turning her head away, looking at Matt who smirked wiggling his brows.

She shook her head with a smile, ‘Maybe I do.’
