VENUS & MARS [MPREG ENG VERSION]

BACHELOR PARTY

| CHAPTER XII |

I would get married in seven days and last week was important for me to get ready for that. I may have spent more time with Louis, but I can't deny that Billy's presence bothered me somewhat.

They were very close, had inner jokes and that I didn't really understand. It was hard because eventually I felt like an intruder amongst them. The feeling of going out reminded me of awful memories of all the times I tried to socialize with people and failed.

I've been a shy, introverted kid my whole life. I never went to school or hang out with kids my own age, my experience of making friends has always been complicated. I didn't understand people and I didn't know how to contact them, so my teenage years were a little traumatic.

I tried to be a member of different groups, but I never felt welcome. Louis and Billy made me remember those moments.

We were out almost every day shopping, attending events and dinners. We had fun experiences, but for a few moments I just wanted to relax in my bed.

Louis was very excited for his bachelor party. He chose a yacht big enough to transport forty people. That impressed me, because even for silly parties like this he liked to be ambitious.

As a rule, I couldn't be invited to that party. I was even thankful that this rule existed, because I was tired and didn't want to socialize with people anymore. I still didn't think this party was really necessary, but Louis insisted it was going to be fun.

I refused to do any partying even when Liam insisted. But I agreed to spend the night with him to drink and discuss, things that we frequently did. He was still acting weird, since the last time he saw me talking to Harry.

I thought maybe Harry hadn't shown the interest Liam imagined him to have. Maybe it made him jealous. But it wasn't my fault that Liam was such an unlucky flirt.

As Louis' party was supposed to be that evening, I saw him leave early to make arrangements. The guests that I knew were just Billy and Joseph. The other guests I really didn't know who they were, but Louis told me they were just friends.

I left the Bower mansion at night. That house was always full of people, but at the same time it looked empty without Harry and the kids.

While he was at Oxford, Harry and I spoke to each other every day. He and Jacob looked like they were having a great time. This Saturday would be the last of the festival before his return to London on Sunday and I had a couple of tickets to visit. I didn't call Louis because I knew he wouldn't say yes.

Maybe I wasn't following the precious advice I had received, but I really didn't see my life going in any other way. I just accepted the decision.

I was at Liam's apartament in the Soho district. He didn't usually pick me up in the parking lot, but that day he wanted to come with me on the elevator.
