"And for once, Ididn't know where to begin. I felt like I've been looking for a love that I've already lost"

"This party's going to be horrible"I sighed.

"C'mon Maddie, it's your engagement party. Your family and friends are going to be here"

"Leigh, that doesn't make me feel any better"

"At least pretend you're happy aboutit. Some important people will be here" Nate added.

"That's the problem. I'd be happy if Peter hadn't organized this huge thing, I would rather having justyou and our families here, not all these business men"

"They're Peter's friends"

"I haven't even heard half of these names before" I said looking at the list I had on my hands.

I kept on walking between the tables,leaving Nate and Leigh behind. Peter had asked me to go to the hotelto check everything was perfect for that night, which meant choosing plates, flowers and stuff. He had invited everyone he worked with at the office, and some business men I didn't even know, and that's whyI was sure I was going to hate every single minute I'd spend at thatparty. Morever, I had had to go shopping that morning to get new clothes, because Peter said the ocassion deserved it. The organisation of the party had been driving him crazy for more than a week, which was driving me crazy at the same time too. I didn't care about the plates we were going to use, or what kind of music we'd listen too, or the flowers that would be hanging on the walls. When he told me about the party, I thought it'd be a little dinner withour loved ones, but I was definitely wrong.

"Do you like everything or is there anything you want to change?" someone said behind me.

I turned around to see Peter standing there with a bouquet of flowers on his hands.

"I think you've been worrying too much about this" I replied while wrapping my hands around his neck to kiss him.

"I know you don't like being surrounded by all these people you haven't even met before, but this is very important to me"

"I know, that's why I let you do this" I laughed.

"This should be important for you too"

"It is, I just didn't expect us to celebrate it this way"

"We'll have fun, I promise"

"You better be right, because I'll kill you if we don't"

He laughed.

"By the way, we're staying here tonight. I don't think any of us will be able to drive" he said.

"Are you saying I'll be that drunk tonight?" I raised my eyebrow.

"You and I both know you will be. And I'd love to talk more about this, but I have to be at the office in ten minutes, and you should go upstairs to get ready"

I nodded and he gave me the room key. Ismiled, kissed him goodbye and went upstairs.

Niall's POV:

"What the hell is he doing here?!" I heard Francesca shouting.

I went to the bathroom to find her looking at Harry, who was standing there with just a little tower covering the lower part of his body.

"Uh, I forgot to tell ya, Harry's staying with us for a few days"I said.

"Oh, doesn't he have enough money to buy himself a hous3?" she saidsarcastically.
