Banned in a book

Brian’s POV

The dress fitting didn’t take more then an hour and afterwards Selena had to pay and I felt pretty bad. She wasn’t happy at all and I had the need to fix something, or at least I should be trying to fix it?!
But how?!

How am I supposed to fix something when I can’t leave Sam alone, not that I want to leave her, but if I wanted to find out what this fiancé of Selena was really up to… I would need to talk to him or find out what he is doing… but maybe I would just have to settle with the information that I had and try my luck?!

“So what are we doing now?” Selena asks and she put a smile on her face but she didn’t look as happy as she normally would, the smile just wouldn’t reach her eyes.
“How about we go have a late breakfast?” I ask and saw the girls look at each other.
I saw that Sam also noticed Selena’s beahaviour and I didn’t know if she knew what was really up with her best friend or if she was as much in the dark as I was?!
“Okay, let’s find some place to eat.” Sam smiled and took Selena’s hand, letting go of mine.
And for a short moment I wanted to protest, but I didn’t, maybe they needed this moment, so I let them walk ahead of me, following a few steps behind.

When we reached a nice little bakery the girls went inside and sat at a table and I followed suit, we ordered something to eat for breakfast and got out coffee right away.
I sipped on it and tried to follow the conversation of the girls, but neither of them really talked about the task at hand, so I would take over now.

“Selena, can I ask you something?” Both girls turn towards me and lift their eyebrows.
“Sure, what is it?” She looks curious and I try to think about the best way to approach this subject, but since there was no best way, I better just get it out on the table.
“I think something is wrong with your fiancé and he is no good for you.” I say finally and both girls look at me, their mouth hanging open.
“What makes you say that?” Selena asks after regaining her speech.
“Yeah, Brian? How can you say something like that?” Sam looks angry at me.

I sigh heavily, I knew when I would say something on this topic it wouldn’t end well, but I felt like I had to.
“I didn’t wanna say anything about it, but…”
“Then better keep your mouth shut, Brian.” Sam says and narrows her eyes even more but I shake my head.
“I can’t. Selena, I like you. I really do and that’s why I am telling you this. I don’t really know what your fiancé is doing behind your back, but there is something going on. That evening when you came over and I went outside to get him back in, he was talking on his phone and quickly changed the topic when I approached. He was acting weird, staring at his phone the entire time… I’m sorry to say this but I would bet he is… cheating on you.” I say out loud what my gut was telling me the entire time.

“What?” Selena asks quietly and I swallow thickly, please don’t cry now, please don’t.
I hate to see women cry and couldn’t handle that very well.
“Brian, can I talk to you for a second alone?” Sam got up and graps my hand very tightly.
I get up as well and Selena looks at me stunned “Wait a second. Sit back down, both of you. What makes you say that? And how would you think something like that after meeting him one time?” She asks and instead of being sad she seems angry as fuck, and it wasn’t directed at Trevor, but at me apparently.

“How I know?” I ask and I suddenly feel umcomfortable, it was a gut feeling… and when I saw the behavior from Trevor on the table and during the talk, it felt familiar… familiar like I had done it before. I wouldn’t admit that out loud right now, not with Sam here at the table, but I had to make them believe me.
“I just know. I have seen that before, and I have a feeling for that. I wish I could tell you something different, but I can’t. I really like you and I didn’t want you to run into something like a marriage that won’t make you happy.” I say honestly and Selena finally got tears in her eyes.
But before a tear can slip down, she get’s up and says a quiet ‘excuse me’ and leaves for the restrooms.

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND?!” Sam yells next to me, making the entire shop turn towards us and I can’t do anything but shrug.
“What? I just wanted her to know the truth” I say and Sam’s cheeks turn a bright red, she was even angrier then Selena as it seemed.
“You didn’t say the truth, Brian. You made assumtions, pretty bad and hurting assumptions about a guy, that did nothing wrong. He and Selena are together more then 3 years now, and have been the happiest couple in the world. They love each other, how can you say he is betraying her. Have you seen him with another girl? Have you seen him in the act, Brian? Have you?” Sam asks but trying to keep her voice calm.
I shake my head “Babe, all I am saying is-” I start but Sam holds her hand up.
“You don’t get to call me babe, and you better apologize for the bullshit you are talking, when Selena comes back.” Sam says and I ball my hands to fists, why didn’t she want to see what was at hand?!
“Sam, I don’t have a prove, yet. But I know that-” I begin again but Sam shakes her head motioning to the right and I see Selena coming back.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to-” She starts but looks uncomfortable, and didn’t continue.
“Brian, didn’t mean what he said. Don’t worry, Selly. Everything is fine.” Sam says and looks pointedly at me but I shake my head, I wouldnt give her confirmation to that.”
How could she be so blind to that? I couldn’t understand it!

Selena’s POV

We went out of the shop and decided to go back to the hotel. I didn’t feel like sighseeing or visiting my friend anymore.
I felt like burying my face in the pillow and not seeing anyone ever again. But Sam wouldn’t let me and that was for sure.
How could Brian say something like that?
He met Trevor once?
Just one time, and then assums that something like that is happening behind my back?
And why the hell did he make me think about everything now, I mean… all the late night work, the not seeing us a lot… the strange calls, him never leaving his cell phone out of sight, not that I would secretly check it, but I wouldn’t even get the chance to pick up for him, because he never and I really mean never lets it out of his sight.

God, this was stupid… I shouldn’t think like this? Should I?
Damn, I was about to marry this guy in two weeks and now I get doubts on him being faithful?
I never questioned it before…
I took his word, when he was working long and late, I believed him when he said it, should I have been more concerened?
Should I have questioned it more?

My phone buzzed and I looked at the caller, speak of the devil.
I whipe the tears away from underneath my eyes and take in a deep breathe.

“Hey.” I say softly and hear Trevor slamming a door shut.
“Babe, I’m sorry. I just heard your message. It sounded urgent. Is something wrong?” Trevor asks and I thought about this morning, about the doubts I had then, now it was only getting worse.
“I think we need to talk when I get back, Trevor. And I want you to take some time off. I mean it. It’s important.” I say and hear his heavy sigh.
“Babe, you know how-” Trevor starts but I interrupt him.
“Take your time, Trevor. I mean it.” I say again, if he wouldn’t take time, I knew I should just call everything off right now, because if he wouldn’t take something like this serious, he would never.
“Babe, what’s wrong? You sound so different, are you not feeling good?” He asks and I grind my teeth together.
“I’m coming home this evening, I want you to be home by 8. We need to talk, if you are not there you will have to bear the concequences.” I say and god, I didn’t even know what came over me.
And where this came from… I didn’t know what to do.
I love him…. I loved him… was it true what Brian said?
How could I believe something like that?!
“God, Selena… I will be there, what is wrong, you are scarying me. I love you, you know that, right?” He says his voice silky smooth and I swallowed thickly.
“We will see us tonight.” With that I hung up.
Oh my god, what did I do?
