I Do...

Chapter 28

“Hey Beckster!” Natasha said running over to me and pulling me into a hug. It seemed so unusual someone calling me Beckster. She was the only person that had ever called me it.

“What you doing here?” I said smiles sprung across my face.

“Your wedding, you idiot!” She said rolling her eyes at me as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. And actually after a little thought it was quite obvious really.

I frowned a little with confusion. “How did you know about the wedding?” I said thinking that I hadn’t sent her an invite because I didn’t think she would have been able to come with her living in America now.

“You sent the email?”

“What email?” I said wondering what on earth she was on about.

“Ah...that was me.” Liam said picking up on the conversation.

“What?” I added.

“You sent it? How? ‘Cause it was sent from Becky’s email address.” Natasha said looking between me and Liam.

“Well seeing that I’ve been going out with ‘hedge’ here for what?... Nearly five years now? And I might have worked out what her password is by now...” He said sheepishly.

I looked at him in amazement. “Have you been hacking my account?”

“No...just this once. I’m not that weird I don’t go checking up on you. Unlike some people.” He said looking directly at me. I went to answer back but then decided no matter how much I argued with him I had already lost the battle. “Actually I lied. I have done it once before.” I snapped my head back at him again, intrigued to know when and why.

“Oh you have have you?” I said folding my arms.

“Yeah. You know that surprise weekend break to Cardiff that once?”

I nodded, remembering the very trip. I had come home from work one day to find two suitcases sitting by the front door and I almost spontaneously burst into tears, thinking that Liam was leaving me. However and to my delight he was not in fact leaving me, he’d booked a weekend away for us both.

“Well I might have used your email account to book the hotel because I knew that you would pick up on it if I did it on mine, so I used yours.”

“Well, well I had no idea you were so devious mister. I shall have to watch that in the future! Well it’s lovely to see you anyways. How long you staying for?” I said turning my attention to Natasha.

“Um... about eight weeks. But there’s a bit of a problem. I only just found out that my mum and dad are up north visiting family so I can’t stay with them for like a week. So I was wondering...could I stay here pretty please?” She said giving me the puppy eyed look.

-“Yeah sure!” I said thinking that I already had Aria staying with us, what is one more person right?

“Thanks Beckster!” She said squeezing me like a boa constrictor.

“It’s fine. Totes. I mean you may have to share with Aria like but-“ Before I could say another word Natasha had let go of me and was now strangling Aria in a hug.

“I didn’t see you before! How are you? What you been up to?” Natasha practically screamed in excitement of seeing Aria.

“Yeah...um...I just broke up with Lee.” Aria choked out.

“What?” Natasha said pulling back and holding Aria’s arms.

“Yeah...I broke up with Lee. That’s why I’m here.” Aria said a wash of sadness painting her face.
