Business Proposal
Cocktail Party
On Saturday night, Emma dressed carefully in a short black sheath dress with red shoes. It was a perfect combination of dressy and chic and harry nodded his approval as she came down the steps to join him.
“The caterers are nearly set up,” he informed her.
He took her jittery hands and her quick breathing, and his eyes narrowed. “You’re not nervous are you?”
Sighing, she admitted, “A bit. These are all your friends this evening, and they would be looking at us, wondering why they’ve never met me before and why the rush.”
“Maybe you have met them before it would be fine, Rose. And Gwen will be here, so you’ll have a familiar face in the crowd.”
She looked relieved. “Oh good. I really do like your sister.”
“I think the feeling is mutual.”
Harry seemed to really look at Mel then. “You look nice,” he said softly.
“Thank you.”
Harry grinned. “Go make sure they have your olives and nuts. I want to make sure that we’re set at the bar.”
When Mel heard the doorbell ring, she reluctantly took one last look around and headed back inside.
When they opened the door. Liam, Sophie, Louis, Eleanor, Zayn and Perrie standing outside with huge smiles on their faces.
Everyone exchanged hugs and greeting before heading to the main lounge room.While they girls and Mel were in the kitchen, harry called out to Rose. “Hey, the guys and I are going my study and would be back.”
“Yeah sure.”
“Come on guys, we are all here to welcome Mel properly into out crazy circle and you all want to talk about business?” asked Perrie.
“Twenty minutes and we would be back,” said Louis.
After the boys went it was an awkward silence because no one knew what to say. Our awkward silence was interrupted by the doorbell. Mel opened the door and was greeted with a smile by Niall.
“Where are the others?”
“The girls are in the kitchen and the boys are.....”
“Down in the study.”
“Right.”
Mel made her way because to the kitchen and the others were talking. She was uncomfortable with the girls and was sacred about the questions. She took her seat next to Eleanor, hoping that someone would save her.
“So, Mel how is marriage life treating you?”
“To be honest it....” Mel was interrupted as the bell rang for the second time. Please let it be Gwen, she thought.
Mel was excited to see Gwen because she could really deal with her help.
Everything was comfortable and Mel felt herself loosing up to the girls after a few shots of tequila.
Harry POV
“Harry, why are we in the study?” asked Zayn
“Well I just want us to go over most of the programs before heading to London.”
“Business later, and free time now,” said Niall as he walked in to the room.
“Well I am glad that you could make it.”
“Yeah we need to get back to the girls and you need to be with your wife.”
“Why?”
“Because she looks bored and uncomfortable being around the girls.”
“Yeah I know Niall, that why I want us to leave the girls with Rose, so she can bond with them without us being there.”
“Harry, we still have a week here before going back to London, so business meeting close,” said Liam as he walked out of the door. The other guys took after Liam while harry stayed behind in his study.
He knew about the agreement he had with Rose, but the guys wouldn’t understand if he was acting awkward toward his wife. The guys would expect him to be cuddly and lovely with his wife, because the guys are like that with their girlfriends and it would be weird if that sentiment attraction between him and his wife, he thought. Harry was more sacred about Rose reaction.
Walking toward the lounge room the sound of laughter filled the environment, hearing Rose laughter stroke him, he felt an instant jealously, because between the two of them their conversation always end up being an argument. But seeing her with his friends and sister, she was happy, laughing making jokes something that never happen when he is around her. Pushing his thoughts away, he walked toward Rose and seat next to her. Harry was surprised when she pushed toward him and leaned on his shoulder.
He looked around the room and noticed Louis staring toward them. He quickly pulled her into his embraced and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“I think she needed your cuddle, while you were in your study,” said Louis.
“Well I am here now,” as harry whispered into her ear.Everyone returned their attention back to the soccer game that was playing, but his attention was all on Rose as he inhaled her scent that was mixed with tropical fruit.
It was the end of the evening and the last guests had headed out a short while ago. Harry helped Rose upstairs to change. While harry was helping to get things in order, Rose appeared next to him.
“Thank you”
“Huh why?”
“I was concerned that you might not enjoy yourself, or you might not feel comfortable with my friends.”
“Why would you think that?” Rose asked
“You don’t know any of them besides Gwen.”
“I’m a lawyer. I meet people every day and plus your friends are nice.”
He smiled then. A warm happy smile.
Mel POV
Harry gave her a warm and happy smiled, that took her breath away.
“You should smile more often,” she said softly.
“What? He asked.
“It makes you more approachable,” she explained.
“I’m not approachable?”
“Aw geez, harry. Not to me anyway but with your friends your more approachable.”
“According to whom?” he asked.
“Well me, and some of the girls. They said that the business side of you is scary but around then your calm.”
“They told you this?”
“Yes at first they thought that I was some poor girl who got sucked in by your sexiness.”
“Sexiness?” he asked, his eyebrows raised.
She shrugged. “Well yeah.”
He rolled his eyes. “Did they say anything about our marriage?”
“Yes, they were surprised and they didn’t expect this but they were opened about it because you date supermodel and a singer, but you’re married to the girl next door.”
. “I like the girl next door, “he said, leaning toward her personal space.
“That because I feed you.”
He leaned back against the wall looking down at her with a crooked grin on his face. “How much did you have to drink tonight?”
“Probably a couple of glasses of wine and some tequila,” she admitted. “Your friend intimidated me a little at first.”
“So you think I’m sexy?”
Ok where is he taking this conversation. “Of course. Anyone with X and Y chromosomes thinks you’re sexy. You’re kind of appealing across all crowds.”
They both stood there for what feels like hours till Mel break off their silence. “Thank you for tonight. This was a fun evening, harry. And I liked spending time with your friends and with you.”
“Same here.”
Mel was a little tipsy and she was scared to be tipsy and in the presence of a man that was incredibly attracted to might not be the best strategy for her, she thought as she stand up ready to head up to her room.
“Good night, harry,” she said as she turned toward the stairs. “See you in the morning.”
Good night, Rose. Sweet dreams.” He said before placing a kiss on her forehead.
“The caterers are nearly set up,” he informed her.
He took her jittery hands and her quick breathing, and his eyes narrowed. “You’re not nervous are you?”
