I'm a Walking Disaster With My Unwanted Virginity

Clyde Angelmen was in a good mood. 

He was going to meet her today. 

There was a long line in front of him and everyone was going into a mildly decorated house. 

Some had gifts, while others had merely shown up. People were excited and so was he. 

People were standing in line to get accounted for. Apparently, one of the hosts had the brilliant idea that he wanted the names of everyone who was attending. 

Clyde didn't like the gift-giving culture but today, today he'd bought a gift. After all, he had to make a good impression. No, he had to make a perfect impression!

After all, this was his future brother-in-law's house!

So, with a smile, and a package wrapped in a colorful wrapping, he headed straight to the door. Who cared about a line?

People were staring at him, and some were even about to yell at him but then they realized, this guy wasn't someone they wanted to mess with. 

In the end though- "Cutting in line Angelmen? Didn't your parents teach you, it's rude?" The woman said. She was the only one who spoke up. 

She was the only one who could. 

"Well," Clyde flashed a smile. "They were too busy with themselves. So, that's a no." 

He didn't quite bat an eye at the woman- or rather at Miss Maire and just headed straight for the door. He didn't care about anyone standing in his way. Not today. 

Miss Maire snorted but didn't create a scene. This was a happy occasion, there was no need for extra drama. 

"Clyde. Clyde Angelmen." Clyde proudly presented himself to the man who was keeping the names. 

The man just wrote Clyde's name, took his gift, and- "Go on in."

Music! Soft melody. 'Piano?'

He couldn't see who was playing or where the sound was coming from. He didn't quite care. 

A fragrant scent- almost like ripe peaches. He didn't like it; he didn't hate it either. 

The atmosphere though- was really calm. There were maybe a hundred or so people in here? And fifty more who were just outside were about to come in soon. 

But this place didn't look crowded at all. 

The decorations were beautiful and elegant, the colors were…well…colorful. There was plenty of food and drinks and everyone was just having a good time. 

He didn't see the groom or the bride anywhere. 

But he wasn't here for them. 

He was here for someone else. 

He was here for love.

But even after searching for a good ten minutes, he couldn't find any of them. 

He even asked around but he got mixed answers. Some said they'd gone upstairs while others claimed they were maybe in the other corner of the room?

They weren't. 

In the end, Clyde just decided to wait. This was a party and sooner or later the hosts would show up, right?

Right?

***

It was a big party. 

The room wasn't that big but the crowd was. 

If they hadn't renovated this place, maybe this crowd would have never fitted. 

But the bride and groom were nowhere to be seen. 

Almost none of the new guests had seen them and even the old ones couldn't quite say where they were. 

But since there was plenty of food and drinks, no one really complained.

Sandwiches, mac and cheese, fried shrimp, beef burgers, pizza, jello, cakes- there was plenty of food. Drinks mostly included Champagne, wine, and fresh juice. But chocolate milk was also an option. 

Sigh. "Where the hell are they?" Clyde was getting very impatient. 

So impatient, he started drinking. 

He had a soft spot for champagne. 

'Isn't this stuff a bit too expensive?'

Granted it wasn't the best but the taste was still expensive in Clyde's book. This was a wedding and the drinks were going to be served to almost everyone. So, did they really have to bring out expensive stuff?

Clyde didn't get it. 

But he wasn't here for drinking. He still ended up drinking three half-glasses though. 

Most of the guests were here. The hosts weren't. 

'Guess, it's time I went up!'

So, he had to make sure something didn't happen to them. It wasn't like he just wanted an excuse, okay?

But just when he was about to head up the stairs- 

People started coming down. 

And he knew exactly who they were. 

He'd been trying to use his powers to find them for a long while now, but since there were too many people here, it was hard, really hard. But now, now that he knew where to look, he knew…

His lips curled up, forming a grin. 'Finally.'

After a minute, two people came down from the stairs. One male, one female. The bride and the groom. Behind them were some other people but they stayed way back.

"Everyone. Thank you for coming. This has been a wonderful day for me and I believe I speak for her as well. A wonderful day for both of us." The groom- Helio held Marg's hand and just looked forward, smiling. "Mom, dad, grandma, uncle, and my family and friends, thank you for everything. This wouldn't have been possible without you guys. And-" He turned to his side, staring at Marg's eyes. "Thank you. Thank you for marrying me. I love you."

Love. The word was cringe to Clyde even just a month ago. Now- now it made sense. 

Now he could understand the meaning. 

The pain and the happiness. 

"I love you too." Marg parroted the words back and smiled. 

They hugged. 

The couple mesmerized Clyde for a second that he forgot his primary goal. 

"Now, again, thank you for coming, and please enjoy yourselves." Helio raised a glass. Where he got that from, Clyde couldn't tell. 

'Was he carrying that all this time, or something?'

Everyone raised their glasses and-

Cheers!

***

With that bit over, Clyde snapped back to reality. 

The party was going in full throttle. The couple was just in the middle of the room where almost everyone went to congratulate them. 

But Clyde had a different reason to stare at them. 

After all, he was here for her. The girl of his dreams. 

And she was just behind the new couple. 

But to get to her, he had to cross very dangerous waters. 

Namely, her brother. 

Clyde gulped and took deep breaths. 

He'd done nothing wrong… yet. 

And love was free. Anyone could love, so he could too. Besides, the girl's brother was in love too, so he'd understand, right?

Right?

So- he took one step, then another and before long found himself just in front of Helio.
