My Lucky Star (One Direction Affection: Book 2)

12: Penny For Good Luck

♧ 12: Penny For Good Luck ♣

I lay down on our bed, waiting for Paige to be finished getting ready for the wedding. I've been dressed and ready to go for about twenty minutes and Paige is still not changed yet. I re-adjust my strapless dress and place my feet up, crossing them over the other. 

"Maddy? Are you still here?" Paige calls from the bathroom. 

"Yes ma'am," I shout back. "Whats up?"

"Can you go check on the rest of the boys?" Paige asks. "I wanna make sure they're ready."

"Yeah, sure," I say, and then add gingerly. "But are you sure that you're going to be ready in time?"

"Oh, yeah, I just need to put on my dress and then we're good to go," She replies, the sound of drawers closing seeps through the small cracks in the door.

Swinging my feet off the bed, I agree to Paige's request and make my way out of the room and towards the rest of the boys rooms. Popping in on Louis' and Eleanor's room, I find them cuddled together on the bed. Luckily they were dressed and ready to go so I felt no need to tell them otherwise. Next, I found myself at Liam's and Danielle's room, whom I'm not sure is here yet.

I knock on the door and a few seconds later, Liam answers, dressed in his suit. "Hey, Maddy. What's up?"

"Paige just wanted me to check if you are ready," I say as I discretely look over his shoulder in search of his girlfriend.

"Well, as you can tell," He responds, running his hands down the length of his suit. "I am ready. Tell Paige to quit freaking out."

"I'll be sure to pass on the message," I say with a laugh. "Is there anyone else in the room?"

"Nope, just me," He says a bit disappointed. 

I can't help but feel bad for him. Here he is alone at a wedding and his girlfriend hasn't shown up yet. I can't even imagine how upsetting that would make me. 

"Um, okay, well if you see any of the other boys not dressed can you pass along Paige's message?" 

"Yeah, sure. See you later," Liam responds before he closes the door.

Making my way back through the hall, I find myself standing in front of Zayn and Harry's room. Without hesitation, I knock loudly on the door. Zayn  answers it, dressed in a white button up shirt and a thin tie. I quickly ask him if they are almost ready.

"Well, I am but I don't know where Harry is," Zayn tells me. "He left a little while ago."

"Okay, thanks. I'll find him eventually," I tell him with a simple nod as I move onto the next room down the hall. 

As I approach Niall's room, I slow my pace down, suddenly getting nervous about seeing him. Especially if Trinity is in the room with him. Stepping up to the solid white door, I take a breath and knock.

A few moments later, Niall is at the door, dressed in his white button up and his dress pants. Behind him, I can see the tie and jacket are resting against the small chair in the corner of the room. 

"Oh, thank god. I thought you were Trinity," Niall says with a sigh of relief.

I raise my eyebrow at him curiously. "Why? Isn't she in here?"

"No, she went down to get some ice," he tells me as I step into the room. "She needs it for something, I forget."

"Then why were you scared if I was her?" I urge, desperately hoping that he was getting sick of her.
