Under The Sheets

18. The Party

After a while, we finally arrived at the venue. It's hard for me to see what's outside, because of the flashes of camera everywhere. So the party we're actually attending is a party for the rich people. The door was open by the same body guard and cameras started clicking everywhere. Maura got out first and was immediately interviewed by a reporter.

Niall got out and I followed. Our hands interlock each other as we were walking on a red carpet. It's hard for me to see the way, cause seriosuly how many cameras are taking picture of us right now? We finally enter the building and everything looks expensive.

I thought parties should have loud pop music, how come their party plays a sweet sound? I actually recognize the music, cause I used to play this on the piano with my mother. I thought parties should have drunk people everywhere, but this one doesn't have.

god dammit! Diana! This is a fucking formal party not the ones where teenage people attends. So here's what you're going to do. Stay cool and act formal Diana!

I was cut out of my thoughts when Niall spoke.

"Are you okay?" he asked

"Yeah!" I managed to give him a smile

A guy holding a tray with glasses of wine on it stop in front of us. Niall got two glasses and the guy walk away. Niall hands me the other glass and I gladly accept it. We had a toast and we both bring the glass into our lips. The wine immediately filled my mouth and I gulp it down fast. The wine taste sweet and I didn't feel a single burn in my thoat. Niall and I placed our empty glasses on top of the guy's tray and started walking headed to a table.

Niall gestures me to sit down, so I did and he sat beside me. There were 3 other people sitting with us in the table. A woman around 40 was sitting across me. I suppose the old man beside her is her husband and the young girl on her right is their daughter.

Suddenly, Maura appeared and sat beside Niall. They started discussing things which obviously I don't know. A guy appeared and Niall immediately stood up and shake hands with him.

"Long time no see, Niall!" I hear the guy say

"Rich! How was you?" Niall replies

"Good! I'm actually engage now!" Rich chuckles

"With Molly?" Niall asked

"Yeah!" Rich answered

"Congratulations!" Niall places his hand on Rich's shoulder and removes it afterwards

"How 'bout you?" Rich asked

"I'm happily living with my girlfriend, Diana" Niall answered

Niall look at me so I stood up and he pulled me closer to him leaving his arm around my waist. Niall glares at Rich and Rich chuckles.

"Nice to meet you, Diana!" Rich smiles didn't even bother to reach his hand for me to shake

"Nice to meet you too!" I smiled back

"I think we should get back to our seats" Niall interrupts us

Niall and I went back to our seats. Now I understand why Niall glared at Rich. The butler placed the plates filled with food in front of us and left. We started eating and they kept on discussing bullshit.

I almost drop the glass of wine that I was drinking when a girl started walking headed to our direction. Everyone was staring at her it was like she had a spotlight following her every move. It takes a moment for me to realize who the girl was. It's the one and only girl who people adores. It's Cynthia Rose Sullivan. She walk towards us and smiled.
