The house is well decorated. Lightings, champagne, beer, food, people, music, the cake and my birthday dress which is specifically arranged by Harry.
It's an Adult Line V Neck Off Shoulder Yellow Prom with Leg Slit, Yellow Long Evening Dress. The dress is beautiful but the color isn't my favorite. I mean, I thought it'll be in my favorite color which is red. But I can't be complaining. He did so much for me.
I wear the dress and absolutely amazed that how perfectly it hugged my curves and shows little of my cleavage. I curled my hair and made a nice messy bun. A little touch of makeup because I don't like looking artificial. And to be honest I think, I naturally look good. Applied a little lip gloss, mascara, highlighter and I'm ready. Though I'm not interested in high heels but have to wear it because otherwise I'll look short and due to this long dress I may stumble. I don't want to make myself a scene in my special day!
"Are you ready?", Harry came inside without knocking the door and gives a shocked reaction. "What? Can't you knock?" I said. He came a little closer and puts his hand in pocket. "When you became so beautiful!? Or, is this the charisma of this beautiful dress?" He said and I blush. Harry is wearing a blue formal and he is looking as usually great. "Thank you for the compliment and definitely the dress is beautiful." I said. "Well, the guests are here and they are waiting for you. Everything is ready." He said and winked. He left the room and for the last time I looked myself in the mirror and so left the room.
The living room is full of people and I look around. Astounded to see that, my college friends are also here. And some of them are not even my friends. No idea, what the hell is Natalie and group doing here! I walk through the people and everyone gave me a jaw dropping look. And made a clear road to walk. I feel cringed. Why are they behaving like movie!
I went beside Harry and eagerly look around to see if Nino is present or not. And unfortunately, he's not here. A part of my heart felt sad for some moments. Though I know, he's not safe here. But I should ask Harry about Natalie and group.
"Harry!" I said. "Hey, you are here finally!" He said. Before I could say anything more, he took an empty glass and spoon and make a ting ting sound in the glass.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please!" Harry said grabbing everyone's attention. I notice Nino as usual looking damn hot in his black tee and pants, entering from the main door without making noise and slowly stand in front of the beer desk. He looks at me and I look at him. He has a box with him don't know what inside but it's wrapped with wrapping paper.
"Everyone, here's our birthday girl! It's her birthday who was always there for me whenever I felt I'm someone left behind. It's been more than 10 years of our friendship and anything I say about her goodness in my life will be non negotiable. She is the one who supported me when I wanted to join international sport club, my dream when my parents stopped me. The importance in my life of hers is immense and maybe I won't be able to pay her debts." He said and listen to him. I can't even say when I started to shed some little tears.
He gave me his hand and I go to his side. He keeps his hand in my waist and continued his words. I give Nino a look and he gives me pissed off look, took a glass of champagne and drink it at once.
"I can't pay her debts for sure, but surely I can do one thing!" He said and I have no idea what he is going to do. He pushed me gently and in front of so many audience he sat on his knees pulled a satin velvet wrapped small box and opened it. It is a diamond ring.
Everyone gives us a "wow"look as someone proposed them in public. Wait! Is he proposing me in the damn public! What! Why! What should I do? Why he is doing this! "Amara Lawrence, will you be my girlfriend?" He said and everyone started cheering 'say yes' 'say yes'. I look at Nino again to see his reaction. He is still standing there giving a jealous look and maybe waiting for my answer. I am hoping for his any kind of reaction but he don't. And then I realize maybe it's right. This is the only way when I can let him away from me. I should accept Harry's proposal but whole part of me don't agree to that.
"Yes", I said with a smile and Harry get back to standing. He put the ring in my finger and hugged me. I hugged him back and see Nino leaving the party. My heart ordered me to go back to him but my brain says not to. I see Natalie follow him out of the door and I feel a bit jealous. Don't know why. Nino already kissed her and may have make out with her. Why should I bother!
"Let's cut the cake, shall we?" Harry said and someone got the cake in middle. The cake's beautiful. I jerk my thoughts away. We move towards the cake and everyone started singing the official happy birthday song. Harry feeds me the first bite. And I do the same. "Everybody, enjoy! Bon appetit!" Harry said and everyone started dancing and gossiping. I excused myself and freed from the crowd. I hate people!
I came to my room though it's not good to leave my own goddamn Birthday party and it's proving that I'm an unsocial person but it's okay I guess. I sit beside the window and look at my ring again. Did I actually made the right decision? I am feeling like something heavy is sitting in my heart and I am unable to remove it. Harry is my bestfriend. Isn't this what I wanted! To be with him! Isn't this both of our families wanted? Then why I'm feeling that it's not right! Why was I hoping Nino to say something! What was I expecting from him to say! God!
I look through the window and once again I watch Nino and Natalie together sitting on a bench. Natalie is holding his hands and trying to seduce him. And Nino is too much drunk that he don't says anything. He is looking like a paralyzed person. He is still holding that box no idea what's inside. Natalie looks at the box and no idea what she said and in answer Nino said something. She angrily threw the box in the ground, got up from the bench, used her dirty heels and smashed it. Poor box! She said something to him which he didn't bothered to listen or react and left him.
His face is sullen. Which I don't prefer. My heart racing faster. I want to go to him, want to ask how is he feeling, why he actually left the party but I can't. Something is stopping me. It's actually not right for me. I want to sit beside him. Ease his pain. No idea why, but his sad face makes me heart ache. "Am, what are your doing here? Everyone is waiting for you.", Harry said coming inside. I pretend everything is normal which is not. He came to me and hold my hands. A part of me feel it's wrong. "Thank you so much for accepting me", he said. I don't want to let him know the truth. The truth inside me. The truth may destroy our lives. Maybe I'm overthinking. But this is right, right now.
Harry comes more closer to me. Is he going to kiss me! What no! It'll be very weird. Wait, he proposed you and you accepted it Am! Grow up! He comes more close to mine. He breath is warm touching my lips. He smells so good but not as Nino. What the hell! Stop thinking about him. "Am, I always have been waiting for this moment. You are the prettiest girl I've ever seen." He said and the words feel nice to me. He moves closer and now our bodies are together. His hand tucked my hair behind my ear and put it in the back of my ear and neck. His another traces to my waist and snaked it.
His breath feels heavy and Totally bothering me. Without thinking further he kisses me. He is moving his lips on me but it's not that spark which I found when Nino kissed me. Jerk the thoughts am! I also kiss him but it's not what I am trying to find. It's not a cooperative kiss. It's bland. After some seconds he moved. "Hope you liked it!", He said and I smiled. "I did!", I lied. "Everyone's waiting for you." He said and looked outside the window and left the room. I look at the mirror again to see if anything changed or not. But no. It's same! Before I go, I notice Nino is looking through my window from the ground. His face turned red and clenching his jaw. Did harry kissed me to show Nino? Wait! What is going on between them! I waved at Nino but he threw a beer bottle on the ground, breaking into pieces and left.
