I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at.

I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutside, I jumped into a taxi.
