9pm:
The warmth of the asphalt is dampening.
It is almost dark and the moon shines brightly in the sky.
A few stars can already be seen.
They shine in Niall's beautiful eyes.
I love his ocean blue eyes.
I take his hand and whisper to him:"I am very looking forward to the evening. Thank you for being here. I am glad you are here."
-
"Of course I'm here. My sweetheart has been promoted. What a bad boyfriend I would be if I didn't accompany you? I am always there for you. You know that."
-
"You're right. You have to be here."
-
He then pushes me slightly to the side and laughs at me for falling into a strange man. That was embarrassing. Of course I apologize to the man.
-
"I hate you, Niall."
-
"I know you love me."
-
He smiled at me and I couldn't resist to kiss him.On the way to the club, the rain gets a little heavier, but we don't mind.
We are standing in front of one of the most popular clubs in New York, Marquee.
I haven't been out partying for ages and I really want to be drunk again and forget all my fears.
Luckily everyone had time and we can celebrate together. I think this will be a great evening.Alia with Robert,
Louis with Harry
and me with Niall.The front door is huge and many other people, who look super rich, are standing outside the club.
I don't know one single face and then I realize that I really should go out partying more.After a few minutes of waiting, we are let in and head straight for the bar, which is crowded. Niall finally spots an empty seat and squeezes in, to order us all a drink.
-
Waiter:"What do you want, young man?"
-
Niall:"Six Cocktails, please."
-
Waiter:"Coming up."
-
We get our drinks and we look for a free table, which wasn't easy because the club is crowded.
-
Robert:"Ah, there's a table at the back!"
-
Louis:"Quick! I don't wanna wait any longer."
-
We never run so fast as we did at that moment. I mean, a table was at stake.
-
"First!"
-
Niall:"Second!"
-
Alia:"Third!"
-
Louis:"Fourth!"
-
Harry:"Fifth!"
-
Robert:"Last!"
-
Niall:"So guys, lets have a toast to the greatest, smartest and most beautiful woman I know. And to her success, of course. To Madi!"
-
All together:"To Madi!"
-
"You're all so sweet. I love you."
-
Then I turned to Niall:
"But I love you the most."
-
"I still love you more, babe."
I kiss him passionately.10pm:
We were drunk. Very drunk.
Luckily Harry was still a bit sober and could look after us a bit.
But we still fucked up a lot.
Niall flirted with a waiter who got offended by it and we got kicked out of the club.So there were we.
Drunk on the empty streets of New York.
-
Harry:"Guys, I don't think I'm sober anymore either."
-
"Yay, Harryyyyy! Join us!"
-
Harry:"Coming!"
-
We were standing in the middle of the street. Then Alia suddenly turned on some music ‚Hangover by Taio Cruz'.We started dancing until we reached the park.
I think Louis was the drunkest of all of us.
Louis suddenly runs off.
Louis falls down.
Into the grass.
And of course I don't let him lie there alone, so I lie down next to him and we burst out laughing.
A few seconds later, all six of us are lying in the damp grass, laughing and crying at the most unnecessary things.
-
Alia*drunk*:"I want a tree. A tree in my living room."
-
Niall*drunk*:"I used to want a unicorn. A pink fluffy unicorn. And a little pig."
-
"Who didn't?"
-
Harry*drunk*:"Everybody did."
-
Niall*cries*:"Why don't they exist? I just want a unicorn."
-
Louis:"Me too, mate. Me too."11:30pm:
We are reasonably sober again and make our way home.
Niall is still pretty drunk, but I have control over my thoughts again and look after him because of that. When we got to my flat after a few minutes, we say goodbye to the others.
-
"Bye guys. Thank you for the evening. It was great."
-
Niall*drunk*:"I loved it."
-
Harry:"Bye! See you later!"
-
"Come on, sweetheart. We are going to bed now."
-Niall still couldn't walk straight so I prop him up until we got into my flat. Niall immediately lies down in bed and snores very loudly. I lay down next to him and he takes me in his arms.
-
"Madison?"
-
"Yeah."
-
"I...I need to apologize."
-
"You don't have to. Everyone gets drunk sometimes."
-
"No, not about that. I lied to you."
-
"What? About what? Is it bad?"
-
*snore*
-
"Great, he's asleep now. Good night, babe. I love you."
-
I kiss him on the forehead.
What did he lie about?
Did he do anything bad?
What should I do now?
Should I talk to him about it again tomorrow?
No, I won't.
It's his decision whether he tells me the truth or not.
He doesn't have to tell me everything, but I just want to know the most important things.I want to know what his interests are.
I want to know what his plans are.
I want to know what makes him smile.
I want to know what he is really like without pretending.
I just want to know if he really loves me.
Does he love me as much as I love him?
I am afraid. I am afraid of the truth.
It's probably just something unnecessary again, but I'm already thinking too much again.But what if it not ‚just something unnecessary'?
