Something's Changed (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 22

*7:30pm*

Niall's POV

Most of our guests had arrived early but the ones we were waiting for had yet to make an appearance.

Although I was stood conversing with some of the other guests, my eyes kept wandering towards the door in the hope of catching a glimpse of Deepika, Lucas, Amelia and Ryan.

Once again, I added a few comments in the conversation before looking towards the door where, this time I got lucky, the four people entered. I excused myself so that I could go to greet Ryan, Amelia, Lucas and specially Deepika; I rushed towards the group and pulled them into hugs, one by one.

"Ladies, you look very beautiful and guys, you look quite charming. Lucas, you're a handsome lad and that little suit does you quite the justice; you're so adorable," I cooed over the little boy who let go of his mother's hand to wrap his arms around my legs.

"You look good in a suit too Ni; mum and Amelia look very sexy and Ryan looks good too," Lucas admired all of us.

"Get your own woman Lucas and keep your eyes off mine," Ryan teased as he wrapped his arm around Amelia's waist and led her to meet with the others.

The confused look on my face made Deepika speak, "they're engaged so don't look too confused, mate."

"Oh right; by the way, you were right about your mum looking sexy Lucas, she's a stunning woman."

"Mmhmm," Lucas said before running off to where Zayn, Louis, Harry and Liam were stood talking amongst themselves.

"I wasn't lying Deepika, you look really gorgeous and black is definitely your colour."

"Thank you Niall, that shiny black suit of yours makes you look quite dashing," Deepika replied.

I escorted her to where everyone else had gathered and she greeted everyone with a polite hug.

"Don't you two look sexy tonight, Amelia and Deepika," Harry exclaimed.

"So we normally don't look sexy?" Amelia challenged Harry who was now speechless.

"Those cats finally got his tongue, right Styles?" Deepika added before the pair laughed.

"You always look sexy guys," Liam said, trying to end the 'issue'.

"Pervert," Deepika and Amelia said in sync before laughing again and saying, in sync, "just joking!"

"You can't deny that you look good though, especially you babe," I heard Harry whisper into Deepika's ear.
Deepika told Harry to shut up as she shoved him and smiled.

"Anybody want a drink?" Zayn asked.
"Me!" Deepika shouted, finding an excuse to leave our little circle.

Amelia shot Deepika a warning look which led to Deepika and Amelia having an eye conversation; I was unable to comprehend what they were conversing and before I could understand, the matter was ended and Deepika joined Zayn who led the lady to the bar.

Zayn's POV

"I'll take a Ciroc with Sprite please and for the lady..." I waited for Deepika to tell the bartender her order.

"I'll just have Coca Cola please," Deepika said.

"No alcohol tonight for you, madam?" The bartender asked, his strong Italian accent accentuating his every word.

"Not tonight, maybe next time."

"And why would that be?" I asked, leaning on the counter.

"Lucas is with me tonight and I don't really like to drink," Deepika replied.
