The Party

Virginie's Point Of View

October 31st

I follow Gemma everywhere she goes. I easily get lost in all of these people united to greet the boys and congratulate them. She is very kind to let me follow her like I do. We get the chance to chat about lots of things. She tells me lots about herself like that she writes columns in the The Debrief which I find pretty cool since I write too.  I will have to read some of her stuff.

We join Anne and Robin, Des is not far away chatting with Niall's Dad, and we wait for the boys to join us. The room is very crowded! I think I see Stan, one of Louis' best friends with a bunch of people that must be his friends too laughing loudly at the other end of the room. Anne compliments me on my look and I give all the credit to the girls. It gets me wondering though...

"How did you know my size of clothing and shoes?" I ask Gemma.

She got me all of these beautiful things and I did not even know where they were coming from...

"I didn't, but my brother did...  Harold and I went shopping Thursday when we got to Sheffield.  He told me you couldn't come because you had to do your homework..."

Why would he not tell me about it?  Why wouldn't he want me there?  I didn't even know he went shopping...  I guess he wanted some alone time with his sister...

"And he just saw this dress while I was trying something on.  He absolutely fell in love with it and asked me if it was OK to buy you clothes.  I hope it is, because he was really happy about it and he literally didn't even look to buy himself some clothes.  He just wandered around picking everything he thought that you would love...  You didn't know that?"

I shake my head.  She looks very shocked and puts her hand to her mouth to not say more.  It's quite funny and I didn't notice anything when he came back.  All I know is that I was tired of doing my homework and was very impatient to see him.  He didn't have any bags with him though...  She looks at me and seems to be reading my mind.

"He left me the dress and the heels in a beautiful gift box to give you tonight and that's all I had..."

Maybe he changed his mind or maybe these are surprises!!  I get excited and though I don't feel like I deserve to be this spoiled, I love that he thinks of me when he sees simple things like clothes and it warms my heart.  But if Gemma saw him buy those clothes and he haven't told me, are they for somebody else?  The one thing I'm certain of is that the dress I'm wearing tonight is very beautiful, classy, elegant and sexy.  It warms my heart that he thought of me being worthy of a dress this beautiful.

People start to shout and clap in the big room and I know the boys are finally here.  The boys are really emotional and bow a bit and wave at us making their way through the crowd to their family.  The second I see my man all that I want is to run to him and jump in his arms, but I contain myself with every nerve in my body to not move a single bit.  Only my lips grow wider as smiles are drawn on our faces.  He quickly looks at me before greeting everyone of his friends and family.  He hugs firmly his Dad and Robin, but seem so gentle with Anne and Gemma.  Finally, my turn comes.  With all that I'm feeling right now, I'm surprise at myself I haven't desperately jumped on him.  In fact, it's the other way around.  He is the one breaking our beautiful and deep eye contact. 

We've been staring at each other for long seconds and I couldn't stop thinking about how proud I am of him and how much he changed me for the person I always wanted to be and not the one I was.  I take control of my life and enjoy every single moment that life brings me.  I take risks without thinking of the consequences to be happy at every moment of my life.  I go out and have more fun than I ever had.  I'm not the introverted little girl that hides behind her laptop  writing and dreaming about the life I want to have instead of living it.  And that life, I got it right here, even though meeting Harold is everything more than I could have ever dreamed of.  I am so grateful for everything that has happened and mainly for him to have crossed my path.  I love the way I see things with him in my life and seeing him this happy is just overwhelming.  I love him with all my being!
