As Long As You Love Me <3

Part 9

I looked up at my reflection in the mirror as Gemma finished my hair.

My dress (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=57153267) flowed perfectly down my body, accentuating my small curves.

Gemma curled the last strand and smiled at me in the mirror.

"You look, beautiful.", she gasped.

I smiled.

"Not as beautiful as you!"

I looked over her outfit (http://www.polyvore.com/falling_hard_masqurade_gemma/set?id=57166686#stream_box), my eyes stopping at the engagement ring on her finger.

Yes, it's official, Louis and Gemma are engaged!

She smiled at me as I stood up and smoothed over my outfit.

"Are you ready?"

I nodded and took her hand as she walked me down the stairs.

We walked down the long corridor to the ballroom.

Yup, we have a ballroom in our house.

Gemma spotted Harry down the hall and flagged him over.

"Woah, Lilah, you are not going in there like that.", he demanded.

I shot him a questioning glare.

"You look to...hot."

I shuddered at his choice of words.

He chuckled as he walked in front of us.

Gemma stood in front of me and I was in the back.

They both walked in hand in hand.

"Now presenting, Delilah Styles.", The announcer dude shouted...IN MY EAR!

Thanks...weirdo.

Now I'm gonna be deaf.

I walked in faking a smile.

I told mom I didn't want a party.

But, no that bitch needed me to have one.

I'm just kidding...I love my mommy!

People applauded as I walked down the two stairs.

I let my eyes wander across the whole ballroom.

The room of course was separated by gang.

Paynes and Tonmlinsons on one side.

Maliks and Horans on the other.

We were located in the middle facing the dance floor.

I walked across the dance floor and to my seat, that's when I spotted him across the room.

His brown eyes shining behind his mask.

Zayn.

Who invited him?

Oh, wait...

I did.

You see this party was planned before we had that little fight.

So, stupid me...

INVITED HIM!

I breathed out and sat down at my table, in between Gemma and Harry.

The music started again and the dance floor was getting pretty crowded with masked faces.

I sat down still fondling with my hands.

This was stupid.

It's my party.

I should be dancing.

Not sitting here like an idiot.

I stood up and walked over to the dance floor.

"Hello there beautiful.", a voice called from behind me.

I turned around to see a tall boy in a red tuxedo with a silver mask on.

Louis.

"Hello there, Boo Bear- soon to be brother in law."

He smiled.

"You look ravishing! Care to dance?"

I nodded as he pulled me close.

We danced like two idiots stepping on each others toes.

He kissed the top of my head.

I love Louis, like a brother.

Sometimes he treats me better than Harry.

I smiled as he pulled away and went to go find Gemma.

Another person tapped on my shoulder.

I turned to find a black tuxedo with a red mask.

Liam.

"I've missed you, Love.', he exclaimed as he pulled me into a bear hug.

"I've missed you too."

I smiled in our embrace.

Liam's been my Best Friend for like ever.

We are born only 2 months apart. Him being the older one.

We used to play all the time when I was little.

That lasted until I was 13, because then they started to train Liam to fight.

I looked into his deep brown eyes and felt safe.

"Happy Birthday."

"Thanks."

He smiled at me and pulled my face up to his.

"I've always wanted to do this.", he whispered before pressing his lips to mine.

I smiled against his lips and mimicked his movements.

This kiss was gentle, not rough like Zayn's.

It felt soft, not dangerous like Zayn's.

His breath tasted minty, not lemons and smoke like Zayn's.

I tangled my fingers into Liam's hair and pulled him closer to me.

He smiled and deepened the kiss.

I felt safe in Liam's arms not, powerless like when I was in Zayn's.

This kiss felt...

Right.
