Rhapsody<\/strong><\/p>\n

I looked at the card in my hand.\u00a0 Table 13.\u00a0 It was positioned furthest from the bride and groom\u2019s table but it was closest to the kitchen and the exit.\u00a0 I wove through the people mingling and reminiscing.\u00a0 As I approached the table, I noticed only two seats remaining.\u00a0 A very stern looking woman with a severe bun sat ramrod straight holding onto her purse with a white knuckled grip as if she\u2019d get mugged at a wedding.\u00a0 On the other side of the open pair of seats was a man with a plaid suit.\u00a0 His hair was slicked back and shiny.\u00a0 The collar of his shirt was opened showing a thick gold chain nestled in a nest of dark chest hair.\u00a0 If I had to guess he was definitely a used car salesman.\u00a0 He spied her approaching and jumped from his seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome to the table of misfit guests.\u201d\u00a0 He smiled showing a pair of gold front teeth.<\/p>\n

I smiled and circled the table away from him.\u00a0 Passing the other guests at the table they all seemed miserable.\u00a0 This was definitely a punishment.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what I did to my best friend to deserve this but he was going to get payback after his honeymoon.<\/p>\n

Sitting down next to the librarian I grabbed for the champagne.\u00a0 The used car salesman moved seats sliding the chair close enough for me to smell the Greek food he\u2019d had earlier in the day which he tried to cover with a heavy layer of cologne.\u00a0 A migraine began to pound behind my left eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are so sexy.\u201d\u00a0 Captain skeevy hissed.<\/p>\n

I imagine the smile I tried to paste on my face came across as a grimace when he blanched.\u00a0 Recovering quickly he smiled and ran his tongue across his teeth.\u00a0 It highlighted the gold teeth he had.\u00a0 My inner bitch shrieked \u201cRun! Run! Run!\u201d\u00a0 She needed to shut up!\u00a0 I was here for my best friend and if I had to suffer through an uncomfortable evening fighting off a weirdo then I would do that.\u00a0 He would pay in the future but there would be time for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, baby.\u201d\u00a0 A deep voice caught my attention then the feel of warm soft lips on my cheek had me paralyzed.\u00a0 \u201cI believe you are sitting in my seat.\u201d\u00a0 His large hand landed on Captain skeevy\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u00a0 I thought you were available.\u201d\u00a0 Skeevy stared at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou thought wrong but thanks for keeping my girl company.\u201d\u00a0 His warm hand slid on to my exposed shoulder.\u00a0 Tingles caused my toes to curl inside my uncomfortable pumps.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry.\u201d\u00a0 Skeevy mumbled and moved over toward the seat he\u2019d vacated earlier.<\/p>\n

My brain finally kicked into gear as he sat in the seat.\u00a0 I took in the beautiful sight in front of me.\u00a0 His light brown hair was short but long enough to style.\u00a0 The dark blue suit he wore was tailored to fit his muscular body.\u00a0 He clearly worked out and the way he wore the suit would make panties melt.\u00a0 Navy eyes glittered as they met mine.\u00a0 Kissable lips lifted to one side showing a dimple in his cheek.<\/p>\n

Mr. Perfect leaned toward me.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m sorry if I was too forward but it looked like you needed saving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou aren\u2019t wearing armor.\u201d\u00a0 I said.<\/p>\n

A confused look had him furrowing his brow.\u00a0 \u201cArmor?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah.\u00a0 If you are going to be a knight in shining armor you need the whole get up.\u00a0 Plus, how did you know I needed rescuing?\u00a0 I am perfectly capable of saving myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you are a very capable woman.\u00a0 However, I am a very insecure man that needs to rescue a woman once in awhile.\u00a0 Would you let me finish rescuing you from the dragon?\u201d\u00a0 He motioned toward the weirdo who was now preying on another woman who clearly wanted nothing to do with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHmmm\u2026I suppose so.\u201d\u00a0 I gave him a smirk.<\/p>\n

He grasped his hands over his heart and bent forward in a small bow.\u00a0 \u201cThank you, m\u2019lady.\u00a0 I will forever be in debt to a beauty such as you allowing this poor knight to save face.\u201d<\/p>\n

A giggle escaped my lips.\u00a0 Warmth filled my veins.\u00a0 It was either the champagne that I downed or the sex symbol come to life sitting next to me.\u00a0 I hid my smile behind the quickly emptying champagne flute.<\/p>\n

Sticking one hand out to me he said, \u201cChord Reedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

I pointed toward the card he\u2019d placed on the table when he sat down.\u00a0 \u201cYour name card.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m Chord Reedy.\u00a0 I am good friends with the bride.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him.\u00a0 His lips mesmerized me.<\/p>\n

He cleared his throat.\u00a0 \u201cAnd you are?\u201d<\/p>\n

My face flamed.\u00a0 I was such a spazz.\u00a0 I\u2019d been paying such attention to his lips that I wasn\u2019t paying attention to the words escaping those lips.\u00a0 Inner bitch was banging her head on the table.\u00a0 \u201cAnswer him!\u00a0 Don\u2019t be an idiot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOh\u2026uh\u2026sorry.\u00a0 I\u2019m Rhapsody Bell.\u00a0 My best friend is the groom.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 I took his hand like a normal person and shook it.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t expect him to cover our linked hands with his other one.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you here alone tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0 Ugh!\u00a0 Was that my voice?\u00a0 I sounded like a phone sex operator.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOk.\u201d \u00a0I squeaked<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me about yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before I could say a word, the DJ called everyone to attention.\u00a0 It was time for the speeches.\u00a0 The maid of honor made a very sweet speech featuring the bride and her times in her sorority.\u00a0 The guests did the appropriate ooo\u2019s and ahhh\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Sexy leaned over and said, \u201cJane hated that girl and being in a sorority.\u00a0 The only reason she did it was because her mother had been in the same one.\u00a0 It was expected.\u00a0 For them to say it was the best time in her life is bullshit.\u201d<\/p>\n

I snorted and the people at our table looked at us.\u00a0 Pretending to be enthralled by the airhead\u2019s speech, a warm hand landed on my hand.\u00a0 My mouth was very dry all of a sudden.\u00a0\u00a0 Just in time the speech ended and we raised our glasses to toast the happy couple.<\/p>\n

When the best man grabbed the microphone, I knew it was going to be a train wreck.\u00a0\u00a0 The best man was also the younger brother of the groom.\u00a0 He had no filter and even less ability to hold his alcohol if that was even possible.\u00a0 He tapped the mic then blew into it causing serious feedback.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should be good.\u201d\u00a0 Sexy said with a smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt it.\u201d\u00a0 I mumbled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome, family, friends, co-workers of Rufus and Jane, not so close family and friends and all the freaks out at table 13.\u00a0 I see you back there, Rhapsy.\u00a0 Looks like Mother had her way and separated Rufus from his true love.\u201d\u00a0 The groom\u2019s brother walked toward their table.<\/p>\n

My eyes bugged out of my head.\u00a0 \u201cDear God!\u00a0 This isn\u2019t happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah it\u2019s happening and will be one hell of a story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, mother never liked you.\u00a0 She hated how close the two of you were.\u00a0 So much so that she convinced his now wife to put you in wedding guest purgatory.\u201d\u00a0 He paused and looked at the bride. \u201cHi, Jane.\u201d\u00a0 He waved with his microphone hand.<\/p>\n

Would it be obvious if I sprinted out the closest exit?\u00a0 That was a no-go in these heels.\u00a0 Maybe if I focused really hard I could become invisible or teleport out of the reception.\u00a0 At a time when I needed my inner bitch she was passed out from too much champagne.\u00a0 Damn lush.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always loved you, Rhapsy.\u00a0 This should be our wedding.\u00a0 It should be our forever.\u00a0 Why can\u2019t you love me like I love you?\u201d\u00a0 He was crying while sitting in the middle of the dance floor.<\/p>\n

The father of the groom stormed up to his inebriated son and snatched the mic out of his hand.\u00a0 The best man curled into a fetal position and continued to cry.\u00a0 I glanced over to my best friend who had his head in his hands while his new bride rubbed his back.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s toast to Jane and Rufus.\u201d\u00a0 Guests lifted their champagne and quietly toasted to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love her!\u201d\u00a0 The best man wailed as the other groomsmen dragged him out of the reception.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the best speech ever.\u201d\u00a0 Mr. Sexy said squeezing my hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you serious?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh definitely.\u00a0 It had action, adventure, romance and even a little suspense.\u00a0 10 out of 10.\u201d He looked at me and must have gotten concerned.\u00a0 \u201cLet me get you a drink.\u00a0 I will be right back.\u201d<\/p>\n

I watched as he stood and removed his jacket placing it on the back of his chair.\u00a0 He definitely worked out.\u00a0 As he walked through other guests, women were pulled from their conversations just to watch him walk by.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow dare you?\u201d\u00a0 The shrill voice felt like ice water over her skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, Mrs. Brown.\u201d\u00a0 The groom\u2019s mother looked like a thunderstorm aimed directly at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you here, Rhapsody?\u00a0 To ruin my Rufus\u2019 day?\u00a0 What did you do to Toby?\u00a0 You always were a spiteful girl who needed attention all of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRufus invited me.\u00a0 I am here to celebrate Jane and Rufus\u2019 marriage.\u201d\u00a0 My inner bitch picked up her head and scowled at my best friend\u2019s mother then said, \u201cShank the bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMarianne what are you doing?\u201d\u00a0 Rufus\u2019 father joined them.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobert she showed up.\u00a0 I told Rufus not to invite her.\u201d\u00a0 She stomped her foot like a child not getting a piece of candy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, sweetheart.\u00a0 How is my love?\u201d\u00a0 Robert pulled me into a bear hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, papa Rob.\u00a0 I am doing well.\u00a0 It has been a beautiful wedding. \u201c<\/p>\n

Marianne huffed and stormed off.<\/p>\n

I grimaced.\u00a0 \u201cYou may be in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about me, Rhapsody.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the first time I\u2019ve been in trouble nor will it be my last.\u201d\u00a0 His face grew serious.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m sorry about Toby.\u00a0\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what has gotten into that boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably a few long island ice teas if I had to guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

His deep laugh felt like a warm blanket.\u00a0 Rufus\u2019 father was a constant during my tumultuous childhood.\u00a0 He was as close to a real dad as I\u2019d ever had.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, sweetheart, I need to go mingle.\u00a0 Enjoy your time and don\u2019t be a stranger.\u00a0 You got it?\u201d\u00a0 He pulled me into another hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will do my best.\u201d\u00a0 I smiled then sat back down waiting for my drink to arrive.<\/p>\n

Watching Papa Rob walk away, I felt eyes on me.\u00a0 The people at my table sat in silence glaring at me.\u00a0 An overwhelming feeling to flee descended upon me.\u00a0 Judgement and hate filled their gazes.\u00a0 Even the skeezy car salesman seemed turned off.\u00a0 Finally, a good thing had come out of the trainwreck of a reception.\u00a0 Maybe it was time for me to go.<\/p>\n

Inner bitch stood on wobbly legs.\u00a0 \u201cFuck\u2019em.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let these losers intimidate you.\u00a0 Get a shot and dance on the table.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cShut up.\u201d\u00a0 I said under my breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalking to Queen B again?\u201d\u00a0 Rufus\u2019 voice had her spinning around.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to hide your crazy from me.\u00a0 I already know you\u2019re crazy.\u00a0 I\u2019ve met your mother.\u00a0 Remember?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could I forget?\u201d\u00a0 I pulled Rufus into a hug.\u00a0 \u201cCongratulations!\u00a0 I\u2019m so very happy for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Rhapsody.\u00a0 I can\u2019t believe my mom conned Jane into putting you at this table.\u00a0 It really pisses me off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, worries.\u00a0 I am all good.\u00a0 You need to focus on your new wife and the rest of your guests but mostly focus on your new wife and knocking her up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throwing his head back he laughed loudly pulling the attention of those around us.<\/p>\n
