The Best Man novel Chapter 44

Tristan's POV

Friday Pt I

What seemed like hours of endless driving still trapped in the trunk, I felt the car come to a stop and my body cringed at the thought that I might be at my murder scene where they'll execute me and dump my body somewhere in the woods, making sure that I'd never be found again. The sound of the trunk opening made my whole body shudder in fear as I felt my body forced out and the bag covering my head ripped off. My eyes squirmed shut from the excruciating bright light from the sun only to finally peel them open to see Kevin and Nathan grinning sadistically at me.

"The fuck?", I mumbled against the duct tape before Nathan peeled it off and untied both my hands and feet. That's when I noticed we were in the parking lot of the Eastrand resort.

"Welcome to your bachelor weekend MF", Kevin threw his hands up, gesturing in surprise and I massaged my wrists where I was tied up, starting to bruise a little

"What the fuck is the matter with you two?", I snapped at the both of them, and they blinked repeatedly at my tone

"I nearly shit my pants in there thinking I was going to die", I spat, and they exchanged looks, stunned in silence and I drew a deep breath. "Couldn't you come up with another way to get me here than to fucking kidnap me?"

"We thought of other ways, yeah", they both said simultaneously as they shrugged their shoulders, striking a thinking pose. "But this was the best one to come up with, without you suspecting anything though"

"We also had to do this because that feeling you felt in there, trapped in that trunk is the feeling you going to feel for the rest of your life if you do get married to Mellisa, so we were simply giving you a taste of what your future looks like because that's what real friends do, right Nate?", Kevin tapped Nathan on his arm

"Totally", Nathan nodded in agreement. "You should be thanking us actually"

"Well thank you for almost giving me a heart attack and killing me guys, I really appreciate it", I said sarcastically while placing both my hands on my waist

"However, I must say though-", my lips turned up in an amused grin. "You kidnapping me like that was fucking genius", I shoulder bumping the both of them. I was really impressed.

"The whole masked attire, the robbing me, threatening me with a fake gun; it was hella hectic. I was genuinely convinced that I saw my life flash in front of my eyes for a second there"

They exchanged looks and started laughing at me, finding what I just said somehow hilarious

"What?", I asked confused, and they continued laughing

"You think the gun was fake?", Nathan quirked up an eyebrow and I nodded my head

"No, the gun is real my G. I don't walk around with fake guns", Kevin said confidently while pulling his pants up and my jaw dropped, I didn't even know he owned a gun

"Where's Liv?", I asked when I realized there was no sign of her anywhere

"Probably went to a spar treatment or something, it's all they talked about when we met this morning", Kevin said as we passed by the reception

"Who's they?", my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I only thought it would be just the four of us, I didn't think other people were coming to join us.

"Didn't I tell you? Your sister is also joining us for the weekend"

"What is she doing here? She's supposed to be with the bridal party"

"And be bored to death stuck all weekend with Mellissa's snobbish friends? I think not", Jessica's said behind us, and we turned to see her and Olivia walking towards us.

"Jess, you promised you'll at least try to get along with them for my sake", it was no secret that she didn't like Mellisa or her friends and she only agreed to be one of the bridesmaids because I asked her to

"Mellisa seemed to understand why I couldn't join them when I went to fetch your clothes this morning", she flicked her hair to the side before pulling Liv next to her. "besides Olivia needed me here in order to keep you three into check"
