Chapter 5: But why are you with him….

Duncan's P.O.V

Gwen stood the rest of the day and she helped me understand why she's doing what she's doing. She wants the girls who have a chance at being with the love of their life, to be with them and not have crazy Trent in the way trying to get them back. Before she left we made an agreement; we could be with each other when Trent isn't near or anything. Also I wanted her to be safe so I told her that if Trent was ever going to hurt her I was going to be in the way just get me and I'll be there to stop him. It took a while for me to try not to go over to her apartment and beat the living shit out of him, but Gwen wouldn't let and I didn't want to show her that side of me when she's in such a fragile state.

Right now I was alone again and in my room thinking of the events that had just occurred today. How have I been so blind to not notice and what else was she hiding from me. I kept replaying those thoughts in my head, until my doorbell rang. I opened the door to find Bridgette and Geoff holding a bottle of wine. "Uh…what are you guys doing here and with a bottle of Moscoto?" she held up her left ring finger and showed me the big rock attached to it.

"We heard Gwen was here too and we wanted to show both of you." She exclaimed.

"No, she had to leave 10 minutes ago" I told Bridge "but while you're here, Congrats on the engagement, bout time". I gave both of them a hug and allow them to come in. Bridge texted Gwen, DJ, Heather, Alejandro, Leshawna, Owen and Izzy to get down here and celebrate with us. They didn't want Trent to come and ruin it all so she told Gwen to tell Trent that Alejandro and Heather need a babysitter.

"So…. You and Gwen" Geoff said "Nice". Bridge looked up from her phone and had an even happier expression. I didn't think that was possible.

"Seriously" I nodded my head "Woohoo, finally Trent can get the fuck out of our lives and go to a mental institute. I'm happy she left the dumb ass bum-"I cut her off of her ranting.

"She didn't leave him" I lowly whispered.

"Wait what, if she didn't leave him the-"she understood what I was saying now. "Oh Duncan, she's getting married. It's illegal and it's just not right" She tried to convince me.

"She won't listen to me, I tried to pursue her into leaving him, but she won't budge. But bridge I really don't want to talk about this now, I've been thinking about this all day and it's giving a headache. This is yours and Geoff's day, so let's talk about that" I was too distracted to notice that someone came in and was leaning against the door frame.

"Please, it's hard being around Trent, so when I go out with my friends I want to not think of that thing" she said, and gave Bridge and Geoff a hug. "Congrats THE Malibu couple" she came up to me and gave me a kiss "hey".

"Hey sweetheart "then she sat on my lap.

"Thanks Gwen" Bridge and Geoff said in unison.

Gwen's P.O.V

The party was close to ending and everyone had a blast. Leshawna, Heather, Alejandro, and Izzy ended up being the drunken ones, and they all had a designated driver with them, or they had to pair up with someone else to go home. When everyone left Duncan and I were stuck cleaning the bear bottles. Sucks, but Duncan made it worth it. He was dancing while cleaning. "Now I see why Duncan's don't dance".

"Oh come on pasty, lets dancing together" he then grabbed my hand and started slow dancing with me. I liked when he dipped me and I grabbed the cans. I guess cleaning can be fun. When we finished it was already one thirty in the morning. "so what's on the agenda for today sunshine" he asked.

"What do you mean" I confusedly said.

"I mean are what wedding stuff do you have planned to do today"

"Oh, well I was going to go home and have the wedding people go there so we can see what they're going to be wearing and we still need to finish the decorating" I explained.

"Cool, sounds good to me" he said. I knew he was thinking of telling me that I should leave Trent and marry him. When you tell something to Duncan that is like my situation, he's constantly thinking about it and what to change. The best and can also be the worst part about Duncan is that he likes to see the reality of it all instead of just relax and be in the moment. He grew up too young.

To get his mind off things I kissed him out of thinking. During the make out session I started messing with his hair and we just started laughing. That's the thing about being in love with your best friend; you laugh about everything and love to play around with each other.

"Hold on, I'll be right back, I just need to get something" he got up and went to the kitchen. I was so dazed that I didn't notice Duncan was back and he had a bucket of water. "Sweetheart" and when he got my attention I felt a warm water splatter all over me. That little fucker.

"Oh come one, Dunky, give me a hug." I chased after him, trying to give him a hug. He hid, so decided to grab a pie and hide it behind my back. "Duncan, want to take a bath with me" I was trying to get him out and it worked. When he came in I threw the pie at him and it dripped all over his body. I was sitting at the edge of the tub laughing and he tackled me. We both fell in and just started cracking up. It took a moment for the laughter to die down, but it did and little by little we actually took a bath together. The extra cloths I left in there came in handy, so when I was finished getting dressed, I had to go.

I headed home and surprisingly Trent didn't have a slut in my bed. He was asleep alone? Wow. I decided to go to bed in my bed.
