"Ahh, beautiful Saturday morning. What shall I have for breakfast?" said Eli to himself. He does that sometimes, and it annoys the hell out of Sean.

But his breakfast thoughts are interrupted when a beautiful woman walks in half naked to his kitchen. Not that he's not used to it, but it's been a while, since Sean started going out with... wait a minute...

"Oh, come on, how does he want me to fix him breakfast if all he has are sauces and beers?" she says.

"Um, hello?" Eli tells her.

"Oh my god!"

"Jesus christ, you scared me!" she tells him. "What are you doing?"

"Um, just hanging around my kitchen..." he says.

"Wait, are you... Eli?!"
"Yeah... who are you?"

"Ha, I'm Selina! It's so nice to finally meet you."
Eli was surprised. "So you're the famous Selina?" he asks her, and understands a little more, but not quite all yet, how come Sean was so obsessed with her.

She nods. "I've heard a lot about you. It's just that Sean told me that you were never here in the weekends, so I was not expecting you."

"Had I known you'd be here, I would've dressed up or something!" she tells him.
"Ah, but you look so perfect already." A third voice says.

"Sean!" Selina squeals.

"So, I see my girl's finally met my best man." Sean said and Selina giggled. "Seriously, though, men, it seemed like you were running away or something." He added, somewhat teasingly.

Truth be told, Eli had intentionally run away from Selina, or more like, from the act of meeting Selina, not for any big, hidden reason, it was just that he didn't want to become attached to yet another one of Sean's seemingly disposible girls.
"Ha, obviously that was never the intention. We just never seemed to... coincide."

"Oh, of course, how could I forget. Every weekend you stay at a different girl's home, right? What happened this time that you didn't?"

While it was true that he spent most weekends out (he was quite the ladies man), these last weeks he'd been specially careful to stay at his house in the city.
"I had a very long work haul. I didn't even go out when I was finished." This part was true. He was so exhausted when he finished that he didn't even remember about Sean's lady.

"Oh, well, now that we finally caught each other, we can do something fun to get to know each other!" Selina said excitedly.

"Oh..." Eli said awkwardly "I... can't. I have to... be somewhere."
"Ah..." said Selina with disappointment. "That's too bad. You seem like such a nice person. Perhaps another time?"
"Definitely."

"Well, lazy day in the pool, seems to me!" Selina said.

Eli feels a tinge of regret, now that he's gonna go to the office instead of resting, watching TV or sleeping, like his original Saturday plan.

Eli just stood there, contemplating her.

"Enjoy the view?" Sean surprises Eli, but he composes himself quickly.

"Now you understand how come I'm so crazy about her?" Sean asks him.

"No." Eli answers.
"No?"

"I know you, dude, and looks alone, even with that body, are not enough to drag you around like her bitch."

"You're right." He tells him, sighing. "The problem is: I haven't figure out what it is yet."

"Seriously, though, Marcie, you look amazing."
"Shut up."

"I'm serious. I'm glad you averted from the white dress."

"Haha, thanks, Sel. I'm glad you're here."
"Wouldn't have missed it for the world."

"It's time." Selina tells Viviann and Hillary.
"Seriously?" Hillary says.
"Already?!" Viviann adds, excitedly.

"Oh, Selina, glad you showed up! I was just talking with your delightful friend here. He's great!" Gabrielle said.
"Oh, no I'm not, you're the one that's delightful. Can't believe you have a son that's getting married, you look 25 years old!" Sean said.
"Yeah, well, glad you like him, Gaby. But... it's time." Said Selina.

"Oh, already? Oh my god, my son's getting married. Oh my god, can't believe it!"
"Breathe in, breathe out." Sean told her, and Selina rolled her eyes.

"Oh, god, here they come. Let's get moving, people!"

"The day's finally here." Devin told Marcie, under his breath. Marcie didn't answer him. She couldn't. She was way too nervous/excited.

"Marcie, I've met you for a very long time. You met me at my very worst, and still wanted to be my friend. For what reason would a girl wanna be friends with a drunken, party animal, manwhore? I know not your reasons."

"But I'm glad you stuck around, even after seeing me at my very worst. Even though I deliberately pushed you back, a thousand times."

"You saved me from myself, Marcie. That was not your job to do. But you did it. And for that, and a million other reasons, I want to spend the rest of my life saving you."
