We drove for a long time, and I felt like we would never arrive to wherever we were going. We talked and listened to the radio on the way there, but I couldn't stop thinking about the mystery girl. I wanted to ask him, but I didn't want an arguement on a night like this. Not when he was going through all the trouble of making tonight special.
When the car stopped, we were parked in front of a mansion that seemed all too familiar to me.
"Is this Ida's house?" I asked him. He just smiled and took my hand, leading me up the front steps. I felt like a princess. He reached into the pocket of his coat and handed me the mask which I wore the night of Ida's party.
"You'll be needing this," he said, placing his own mask on his face. He opened the door and revealed the perfect replication of the night we met. I was absolutely speechless.
"You organized all this?"
"With Ida's help, of course. Everything is exactly as it was that night, except now we aren't strangers. And this time, it's your party. Not Ida's."
"What?"
"I know it's not your birthday, but we're celebrating because we can."
"This is amazing," I told him.
Somehow, the party seemed even grander than it did on the night of Ida's birthday. I felt like Gatsby would turn the corner any moment, or fireworks would shoot out of the sky like some sort of Disney scene.
"Niall...this is...I..." I struggled for words, and the result made my cheeks turn bright pink. "I love you."
The smile on his face was incredible, and he didn't hesitate in replying "I love you too."
Although it should've, the party didn't even feel repetitive in any way. Everything looked the same, but the feelings and experiences were entirely different. This time, everything was absolutely perfect. I even forgot about the question that had been nagging me on the way there.
I let all my problems escape me for the night while I danced with my friends and had a great time with the boy I loved.
I don't think it could have been any better.
