Prologue

Four Years Before the Wedding

It started with a spilled cocktail.

Not the metaphorical kind ━ the messy tangle of emotions or the bitter aftertaste of a love gone wrong. No. It was literal. A highball glass of something too pink and expensive, sloshed across the sleeve of Natalie's favourite silk dress at a rooftop bar in New York, the night before graduation.

Natalie didn't even want to go to the bar. It was her idea of living hell, but her manipulative shrew of a friend decided that the night before graduation would be the right moment to push her boundaries. Natalie would've preferred staying at the apartment where she could do a puzzle or practice her violin, and it wasn't as if her roommate was going to come back.

Ah, yes. Her stunningly beautiful roommate Bang Chan, who despite being two years older than her was still graduating at the same time. He lived more of the party life than she did. Natalie was the typical geeky, science girl who only wanted to please her parents, even if she wasn't going into the sciene field, her violin skills could take her anywhere whilst Chan changed his major every other week before settling on Music (something that wound Natalie right up, seriously who plays an electric guitar at 5 in the morning).

Other than that Natalie couldn't really complain about him much. He was out so much that she didn't see much of him. That didn't mean that she wouldn't make extra meals for him.

Natalie Kim stood frozen, empty glass dangling from her fingers, wrist lifted, watching the sticky liquid spread like watercolours across the champagne fabric of her dress. A slow, silent disaster.

''I'm so sorry,'' a voice said. Low. Male. Steady but sheepish, ''I was trying shake a cocktail. Turns out I'm not quite the bartender I think I am.''

The voice was familar to Natalie. Of course, the one night she chose not to stay in, her roommate would turn up in the same place. She could tell he had, had a bit too much to drink already but it was the night before graduation so Natalie couldn't really complain, ''It's fine Chan. Don't worry, it's an old dress and I can wash this out.''

She offered him one of her signature smiles, ''are you sure Nat?'' Natalie couldn't help but to chuckle at him, ''I'm sure, nothing a little homemade strain remover can't fix. That red wine stain on your shirt won't be able to wait. If you don't wash it out now, you might as well just get rid of it.

Chan hurriedly pulled Natalie behind him to an empty sofa, ''you've got to help me Nat, please I'll do anything.'' Again she couldn't help but let out a laugh at his childish behaviour, ''I will you manchild. I'm also getting you a bucket because you look pale and the last thing I need is to be cleaning up sick as well as some mysterious pink cocktail out of my favourite dress.''

''You're the best Nat!'' He shouted as the younger woman rushed off behind the bar. From her position she could see her friend (yes the manipulative shrew) coddled up with her fiance. It wasn't as if Natalie cared anymore. She knew it was inevitable, and she had a severly drunk roommate to be caring for.

Although she didn't care, Natalie couldn't stop the tears from falling down he cheek, ''there you are! I was wonder where you...Oh, what's wrong Sunshine?'' Chan asked as Natalie ducked in front of him quickly running a vinegar soaked sponge of his shirt. One of his hands found the top of head and began drunkenly stroking her hair, ''my fiance and my best friend, see them over there.''

He turned to see where she had nodded, ''you poor baby. Do you want a hug?'' Chan held his arms wide open for her. Natalie shook her head at him, ''quit moving will you. I can't get your shirt if you keep moving.''

''Nat, do you have a pen?'' Natalie was shocked when she had a napkin waved in her face. She smiled a she pulled a pen from her bag, ''why, planning more cocktails?''

''No, this is my favour to you. Whenever you need a plus one to an event, just ring this number.''

''What why would I... Do you know what, okay. I'm going to need a date to their wedding. So, deal?''

''Deal.''

And so became the cocktail clause.

❙ Pairing: Bang Chan x Natalie Kim (OC)

❙ Series Warnings: This is an oc!fic, not a reader one, so if you are not interested in oc!fics then I wouldn't recommend this series for you. Other warnings for this series include: alcohol, mild bad language, cheating exes, backstabbing best friends, mentions of nudity (non sexual) and kissing. There is nothing too bad mentioned in this fic as it is fluff, not smut or angst because as stated previously, I won't write smut.

❙ This is a fake boyfriend and summer romance!au/this is the trope most prominent in the series.

Imagine #5: US(2017) Ifs/Could’ve been/Dreaming

Can you believe it’s already April 2017 as I write this post. That means we’ve been together for 5 years and 4 months Love. Thank you for the years and memories we’ve created together. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be engulfed in your arms, wrapped up in your love and warmth. I can’t believe we’ve been together for so long and I can only imagine you in my future. I can’t wait to be married, the family loves you. They want you at every event, bbq, birthdays, vacations, hangouts. Mom and dad love you so much and you’re always playing with my siblings. I love the days where we take out the little ones and go on adventures or take out your sister. Gives me a great sense of how you’re going to be as a father in the future. I don’t regret choosing you, even though you’re my first and only love I am so blessed. Prom was a blast hehe for the both of us, I’m going to laminate our photos. Perhaps even make a timeline for everything and every milestone we past together. The laughter, the insiders, the tears, the arguments, the whole of it all I love. Thank you for being so patient with me, thank you for loving me because I know it’s not a easy thing to do. I love you and I’ll always support you.  You’re already a second year in university on the right path to med school leading to becoming my handsome doctor. You’re going to be saving so many lives in the future, I can be your first patient because you’ve saved me in so many ways. Five years and it’s crazy how in love I still am with you, I don’t ever think that I can get over it. Our first time at the aquarium was too much because it consisted of you chasing me through the halls with “MARCO POLO” games to find one another. The turtle stuffed animal is still in you room on you desk so you can be reminded of my favorite animal. There’s a dinosaur plushy that you got me from the museum because that’s your favorite animal. Why are we so corny, I don’t get it. It’s so great to see how much we’ve changed in the course of five years and how our lives have changed drastically. We both got our license, but you got yours first. Thank you for always driving North to come get me hehe, the endless amount of traffic is a nightmare. Thanks for letting me drive in the parking lot of the mall and trusting me that much when my dad wouldn’t let me drive without going out with my driving instructor first. Thanks for seeing every movie I wanted to see without complaining, admit it you know Tangled and Frozen are your new favorite Disney movies. Except of course our personal favorite of Lilo & Stitch and The Lion King series. Hakuna Matata and Ohana right babe.  I’m in my first year of university on the right path to pharmacy school. A pharmacist and a doctor what a killer combo am I right or am I right hehe. My dreams come true, the dreams that didn’t exist before you. Thanks for helping me move in, I know em has a lot of stuff to carry in and out. It’s almost the end of the semester I know you’re going to help me move back home hehe. Don’t worry I’ll help you as well, you can always count on me because ya know I can lift thanks to you teaching me how to. I’m so excited for this semester to end aren’t you? A summer of both of us working, traveling together hopefully. And then there’s my family vacation in August. No other travel buddy I’d rather be with, I’m happy it’s with you. I can’t even imagine where our life will be in 10 years. I want two sons and you have no say in their names. But I know you love me and your response is always “whatever makes you happy Princess”. Damien, Aiden(I know you really liked this one I’m sorry), Liam, Elliot. Vietnamese names will be Kai, Khoa, Koi, Tai, you know my favorites. We’ve got it all planned out, from our wedding to our honeymoon to our children. This is so surreal, I know people break up later, but I know we aren’t like them and our love will prevail through all obstacles. -I can’t breathe right now, I’m crying too hard. I’ll finish this later

Imagine #3: Valentine’s

I love your room dark when we wake up because it means we still have time to sleep. The clock says 4AM, but I say 12AM. I’m the first to wake with my head on your chest with my arms around your waist while yours are holding me tightly. Our legs are intertwined with the grey comforter on top of us, covering our bodies with warmth. I stay and snuggle into you and without realizing it, I fell back asleep. Rays of sunshine leak in through your window shades, I knew we should have gotten you new ones. I feel you stirring underneath me and I open my eyes to stare at your face, Anh I love you. I switch our positions so that I’m underneath and your head is on my chest, just to stroke your head while kissing it and humming, I just want you to fall back asleep. I’m restless as I wake, but it’s only 9AM. Replacing my chest with a pillow I silently attempt to leave bed, but of course I had to trip on your leg and next thing you know I’m sprawled out on the floor. You’re such a heavy sleeper that it didn’t matter, you didn’t notice a thing. Huffing a breath I push myself up to walk to the bathroom, in the mirror I’m greeted with a girl whose glowing despite messy bed hair, swollen lips, and a faint smile resting. Afterwards I’m in the kitchen making you breakfast, you’re lucky I love to cook. Sizzling sound of bacon in the pan, pancakes from scratch which resulted in powder all along the counter tops, eggs lightly salted on a plate, toast still in the toaster, orange juice jug out but not poured. I’m maneuvering through your kitchen and all you see is a blur. Sitting on top of the counter top you watch me while sneaking pieces of food into your mouth and pouring orange juice for yourself and a cup of water for me. Finally spotting you I skip over to place a kiss on your cheek before continuing to make a breakfast for us. Our day is spent in your bed watching movies and eating popcorn because let’s face it we’re both lazy and nothing’s better than soaking up each others company. Most of our time spent in absolute satisfaction on both ends in bed together. So pure, so innocent with our actions that don’t overstep the boundary we’ve set together. -I’ll finish this later.

Imagine #1: Thanksgiving

On Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving I would meet you at the train station and you'd pick us up in your car driving us back to your house. Since it was raining this year we both get out at 11AM so I expected to be at your house by 1:30PM latest. Then we would make lunch because the both of us have yet to eaten and we'll play with your younger sister for a bit. Then we'll head on to the living room with blankets and pillows to sprawl on the ground as we hook up your laptop to the TV via HDMI cord. Laying on the ground with your little sister between us and a blanket on top of us we would watch as our hands played with one another, legs a tangled mess. At 7PM I would help you pack your clothes into your backpack and your parents would be home from work and I'll smile, greeting them before telling them I'll see them tomorrow. On we go to my house because my siblings were coming home from college and a family dinner was insisted upon. We would of went to my house and seen the infamous trio of my two cousin and uncle. Sitting down around the dining table my mom served us Bo Kho and Pad Thai. Laughing and sharing stories with one another we bonded and then since mom insisted we put up the tree, we would. I could take my selfie stick and there would be a ton of pictures filled with the family and us and I'll make hot chocolate for everyone. Since the others left at 11PM to go to uncles to watch a movie we would stay home to watch our own movie. Cuddling on the couch watching whatever we felt like before heading to my room to sleep.  Thursday morning came, otherwise known as Thanksgiving. I would wake up at 8AM to get ready for the football game I had to participate in since I belonged with the band. At 9:30AM you would drop me off at the stadium, before going home to my family. At 11AM when I was ready I would call you and you would come pick me up so we could head on home. I would shower and get ready for the day whilst you sat on my bed watching me as you had gotten ready when you came back home earlier. Then I would walk downstairs to help mom prepare the table and dishes to be served as you bonded with my sister's boyfriend. Sitting down at the table that could hold 6 people was perfect for us. My parents, my sister and her boyfriend, and us. Mom would make us a cup of coffee or tea and we would gather around to eat and laugh. After heading over to my grandma's house like my family always does and spend time there eating another turkey lunch prepared by the younger generation without the older generation. When the clock hits 4PM we'll stand up getting our coats and putting our shoes on we say farewell until later because now it's the time to go to your house, to your side of the family. Driving we arrived around 5PM and ate dinner while enjoying the time spent with family's presences. When we're all full and lethargic off the turkey we could go to your room to take a power nap. At 8PM we would head on over to my uncle's condo to watch a movie, this time it was "Fury" and hang around until midnight before heading home. Since my sister had to go to work we ate a late night snack of leftover from the morning before sending her off. Yeah we could go blackfriday shopping or we could wait until morning so we went back into my room to sleep until morning. After we changed, brushed our teeth, and was comfortable we'd talk for awhile until we fell asleep. In the morning we would get ready before waiting for our friends to come up so we can go shopping. Not finding much was disappointing for all of us, but at least we got something. Lounging around for a bit we watched another movie and snacked before you had to leave to go home because you had a family event on Saturday.
