Bianca's POV

"Shouldn't you be seated at the bridal table?" Harry asks me with annoyance as we continue the walk toward my table.

"I can sit wherever I want actually," I tell him trying my best not to stare at Bruno.

The look on his face when he saw me sit next to him was more then enough confirmation for me that he actually liked me too.

"I see you found Harry for me," Bruno smiles as I take my seat from before, right at his side; earning me deadly glares from my mother.

I know she had planned on spending the entire night with Bruno in hopes of making progress with their none existent relationship. Seeing her upset only made this that much sweeter. I could care less that she 'likes' Bruno. I know she's only interested in his deep pockets but me, I was interested in who he actually is. There was so much more to him then people knew and I couldn't help but to fall harder for him.

"Yea," I laugh stiffly, taking a sip of water.

"And Harry, who's this?" Bruno asks quizzically looking at the brunette on his arm.

"Oh this is Eliana, she's a model I met a little before I left to Europe," Harry says to Bruno as Eliana extends her hand and giving a 'hello'."

"Well she must be very special for you to have brought her along...a plus one bringing their own plus one and all," I say in the most playful way I can. Bruno takes my snarky comment as just a teasing joke but Harry simply tenses his jaw before shooting me a smile.

"Plus one? And here I was under the impress that I was actually invited," Harry says back to me.

Harry's POV

"Of course you were," Bianca says smugly.

"So Bianca where did you say you purchased that painting by..." My uncle begins to ask to Bianca, clearly trying to change the subject.

I do my best tuning them out but every so often the over exaggerated giggles and arm touches become a little too much.

"Can we grab some dessert near the chocolate fountain?" Eliana asks me in my ear, in which I reply by simply standing. I feel Bianca's round eyes burning into my head as she watches me walk with Eliana.

I feel grateful for Eliana's sudden urge for dessert because quite frankly I just needed any excuse to get up from that table with Bianca and my uncle. As if Viola being all over him wasn't enough now her daughter was pinning for him as well. Although I know this wasn't necessarily Eliana's intentions since she's never been the brightest of the bunch. Im sure she actually just wanted to get dessert.

"God there are so many yummy choices," I hear Eliana say as she loads up her plate looking as excited as a child. With how much she eats I can't even begin to believe how crazy fast her metabolism must be for her to still be so thin.

As I reach for a strawberry I see a gust of white pass ahead toward the halls.

"Eli, I'll be back in a sec," I say quickly before straightening out my tie, following Penelope.

"Where are you going? I don't want to sit down at that table without you," Eliana pouts.

"Gotta take a piss...I've had a little too many glasses of champagne," I say, even though I barely had one.

"Oh. Well hurry back," Eliana says, turning her attention back to the dessert table. I look around, especially in Bianca's direction just too be sure that no one is watching before I continue following.

It doesn't take me long to catch up to her and as soon as she finishes the conversation with the staff of the hotel, she turns back around to head back to the party before stopping dead in her tracks when she sees me.

"A moment alone with the bride at last," I smile, taking a few steps closer to Penelope, her face completely shocked before turning hard.

"How are you Penny....," I ask sweetly, just as she takes a side step.

"Don't call me that," She snarls firmly,"Now if you'll excuse me I have guests to attend to."

"I believe I'm a guest, am I not?" I say with a smile just as she takes a step away from me toward the party, I catch her wrist pulling her as close as her wedding dress will allow.

"What do you want," She says angrily brushing my hand away from her wrist.

"Hey now, what's wrong?" I ask with concern,"Is it Nicholas? Is that why you won't speak with me, because you're worried he'll be upset over you speaking to me?"

"Let's get something straight here," She says, pointing her slenderly manicured finger at me,"I don't want to speak to you. And believe me, it's been a very long time since I worried about you, kay darling?"

"Well it actually hasn't been very long..what six months?" I remind her, brushing my hand against hers,"Six months since you stayed with me in my apartment downtown, madly in love with me before everything went sour.."

"You say it so casually, with that stupid smirk of yours as if finding you in bed with two other women wasn't one of the worst moments in my life," Penelope says slapping my hand away.

"Okay well you're kind of forgetting that it wasn't exactly the best day for me either," I say to her,"You walked in before I could even cum. I ate pussy without even getting my dick so much as even licked and let's not forget your sister locking me outside naked on my apartment balcony.."

"Stop! Just stop okay, I don't have to stand here and listen to you and your stupidity," Penelope yells.

"Wait wait," I say grabbing her wrist again, before she swats me away.

"Relax okay? Just relax I just have one thing to say," I tell her sweetly, with the most serious face.

"What," she snaps.

"In all seriousness I'm saying this to you," I say to her as she listens carefully,"When you get bored with Nicholas-which you will-I'll be waiting for you. I just want you to know."

She gives me such an evil glare I try my best to contain the laughter that is threatening to escape as she rushes back into the party.

I wasn't actually being serious, no Id never be able to mess with a married woman. I draw the line at marriage. You want to cheat on your boyfriend? Okay sure, great. But when it came to helping them cheat on their husbands I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Something inside me drew the line because a small part of me wanted to believe that everyone was happy when in a marriage. I wanted to so badly believe that someday there was hope for an asshole like me. That someday I could marry a woman and we'd both be faithful and happy.

Me swearing myself off from married women was my small glimmer of hope that some day I'd meet someone that was enough.

"Finally," Eliana says as I take my seat next to her.

"Let's go," I whisper into her ear before kissing just below it.

With fucking around with Penelope's head out of the way I no longer feel the need to stay at this lame wedding. The night was still very much young meaning the perfect opportunity to fuck Eliana for a solid two hours before it was time to head to the club with Zayn for a drink.

"But they're just about to do the toast," She complains,"And they haven't even cut the cake yet."

"I'll buy you a cake on the way to your apartment."

"Really?" She asks with a bright smile.

"Yea you can eat it off my stomach after you blow me, now come on."
