*Zac*
As we arrive at the club where the party is held there are quite a lot of people gathered outside. Fans, photographers and just people stopping to look at what is happening. I am actually quite happy that we hired security.

Lumi is looking at her phone, shaking her head. "I can't believe our engagement announcement has gotten almost 1 million likes".

"People love you, just like I love you". I look at the picture of her hand with both the rings and the statement. 'I said yes.. again'.

"Oh wow.. I feel like a celebrity". Lumi says, looking out the window, as the car comes to a stop.

I smile at her. "Well you kinda are. People love your segment on 'good morning London', you have more followers than me on instagram.. might be because you look a hell of a lot better in a bikini".

"Well I happen to think you look mighty sexy in a bikini". She says, wiggling her eyebrows.

"You are probably alone there". I chuckle and pull her in to me for a soft kiss, before opening the door and stepping out.

Lumi follows me out and the crowd goes wild. Every bit of me hates just ignoring fans calling for my attention. But this is a private event and it's Meri and Lumi's day, so I bite it down, taking her arm. We only pose shortly for the photographers, before walking inside.

"Oh God.. Tom is.. I have never seen him like this before". She laughs as Tom literally strut past the photographers. "He can't help himself, can he ?"

I shake my head. "Nope, he is totally incharacter .. I kind of feel sorry for Meri".

"Don't ... she seems to find it rather amusing. I think being in a costume makes her feel..more free". She is looking lovingly at her sister.

"You are going to miss her badly aren't you ?" I say softly, reaching out to caress her cheek.

She nod and let out a small sigh. "So much, I mean we have never really been away from each other.. we have always lived together".

"She is more than welcome to come, I'll build her a house on the grounds, there is plenty of space baby". I say, knowing what her answer will be.

"I can't ask her to come.. Tom is not leaving London, we both know that and taking her away from him would be plain cruel". She says, shaking her head. "But let's not think about that tonight, I want to have fun".

I lean down to kiss her. "Anything for you darling.. anything".

"I know Zac.. and by the way.. this party is amazing.. you and Tom did really well in planning it". She says with a soft smile.

I smile back, hoping that the separation won't be too much for her and Meri.

*Tom*
Okay, I might be getting a bit too much into character. But it is kind of fun and I have Meri giggling and laughing constantly, that alone is worth everything to me.

I have been out dancing for a bit with Lumi and a couple of my other friends wifes as Meri wanted a break. Last I saw her she was talking with Zac on the couches. But now I go looking for her.

"Have you seen Meri ?" I grab a hold of Lumi's shoulder as she walks by with a cup of coffee.

"No but try the bar.. apparently her and Zac have been hitting the tequila shots and the way he looks, well.. she might be needing a hand". She hurries off, probably to get some coffee in Zac.

I groan as I hurry to the bar, I mean I know what happens when Zac gets in the tequila and I know Meri is not used to drinking, so I can only imagine the state of her.

"There you are darling". I say when I spot her, walking up to put my arms around her.

The smile on her face when she turns it to look at me, not to talk about the way her eyes are.. Well, kind of swimming in their sockets tells me she is more than a little drunk. "Well hi there my handsome danger".

"So, you and Zac have been knocking down tequilas.. I hope he is less drunk than you". I chuckle slightly, she is kind of cute honestly.

"Don't count on it". She slurs. "But I had to have a talk with him.. he is stealing my sister away, that bastard".

I feel a little sting of pain at her words. "You feel Zac is stealing Lumi away from you ?"

She nods slowly, pouting at me. "He is.. he is taking my Lumi away.. it is like half of me is being cut off. And Texas, who wants to live in Texas . Let alone in the middle of.. nowhere, with only cows and .. Zac around ?"

"Oh sweetest baby". I pull her into my arms. "I know it's hard.. I get it. But Lumi and Zac need each other.. and that place means a lot to Zac. I'll do anything to assure that you and Lumi can see each other as much as possible".

Suddenly she is sobbing into my shoulder, her body slightly shaking. "I don't know what I am going to do without her. What if she gets sick again and I am not there.. what is she..". She starts sobbing even more.

It literally breaks my heart seeing her like this and I wish I knew how to help her. "Please Meri, don't cry.. we.. we'll find a solution.. it is going to be okay".

"Zac told me I was welcome to come.. That he would build a house for me next to theirs if I wanted it.. he is so sweet right.. Lumi is so lucky to have him". She sighs. "But I can't go".

I know I am the reason she can't go.. and I know she won't even ask me. She knows that London is in my blood and soul, this is where I belong. But right now it is making me feel guilty.

"Come on baby, I think we should get home to bed". She definitely needs to get home and it is after all past midnight.

She nods and snuggles into me. "I think you are right".

I manage to find Lumi and Zac, he looks better than Meri, but he keeps giggling rather uncontrollably and Lumi agrees that it is time to go home.

Back home I get Meri into the shower, helping her wash of the makeup and washing of my own. It is kind of nice being myself again.

"Hmm I was kind of looking forward to having a dangerous stranger in my bed tonight". Meri say, looking at me with blurry eyes as we lay in bed.

I chuckle and kiss her softly. "I bet you did. But now you need to sleep, love".

Soon after she is deep in dreams, but sleep keeps avoiding me. I can't seem to find peace, thinking of Meri's face when she talked about being without Lumi. I feel like I should not keep them apart.. but what can I do ?
