I Can t If It s Not You

Scarlet made her way to the aisle in her wedding dress for the second time of her life. The man she is marrying to, was a cousin of her late husband. They met once in each other’s wedding but never struck a conversation before or maybe a few words as Scarlet was a kindergarten teacher. Matthew is a man of status. He does not like Scarlet as she is not born in a rich family. 

Scarlet is a down to earth woman and that was what made Adam fall for her. He does not care what her status and whose family she belongs to.

As for Matthew, he grew up with a silver spoon with Ada

“always been on his side.

Matthew married his high school sweetheart, Katherine Willis. Both studied in the same prep school. Katherine and Adam knew each other. 

The Fosters and the Willises are business partners from the start. So, Matthew proposed to Katherine after graduation and got married after they completed their Master’s Degrees. 

Adam too completed his studies but he went to a different University. There, he met Scarlet who took a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. Scarlet knew Adam’s background and she actually was not interested in him due to their differences.

Adam tried to pursue her no matter what it takes but she was playing hard-to-get with him. When Adam pretended not to pursue her any longer, Scarlet looked for him.

She looked for him in the school’s cafeteria and he was with his friends and Scarlet was standing behind him. His friends pointed behind him. He turned and deep down, he was smirking, in a good way. “Looking for me?”

Scarlet grabbed him by his collar, her face was directly in front of him, “Listen here, Mr Foster. When I told you to stop pestering me, don’t stop. Do you know how long I’ve waited for you to come? I know this sounds crazy but your annoyance sometimes makes me smile. Your presence lightens up my day. So, don’t you dare stop.”

Adam smiled and he got his answer. Scarlet indirectly tells him that she was fond of him. “Why are you smiling?” She asked with her eyebrows raised. “Has anyone told you that you look cute when you’re angry?” Scarlet blushed and released his collar.

“And are you trying to say that you like me too?”

Scarlet snickered, “Hah! As if!” She walked off smiling unknowingly. “Hey! I like you too!” Adam said it out loud and Scarlet turned her head, sticking out her tongue while smiling.

During their graduation, Adam proposes to Scarlet. They get married after months of being engaged.

Matthew was Adam’s Best Man for the wedding. When Adam first introduced Scarlet during their engagement, he did not like her. Scarlet can sense his dislike for her. So, she decided to shrug it off, as long as the man that she loved is by her side.
