Chapter 10 – An EngagementRachel had just arrived at the Party and soon realised that loads of celebrities had been invited. She could see Fernando Colungia, a fellow singer of Adriano and his wife Leticia. She spotted McFLY too, an English band along with Jesse McCartney, Daniel Powter and even Matt from Busted.
Rachel entered the hall and could see people's eyes falling on her. She looked quite beautiful, dressed in a long black dress which came up as a halterneck. Her hair was curly and she had beautiful make-up on. She spotted Jan on the other side of the room who came over as she spotted her.
"Hey Rach! How did it go yesterday?""What do you mean?" Rachel asked.
"Oh come on, did he kiss you? I bet he sucked your face off!"
"Oh woah! You're so wrong. We didn't even go out!" Rachel said as she looked around the room trying to spot Adriano.
"Why? What happened?" Jan asked curiously with a disappointed face.
"I'll tell you what happened!" Rachel said loudly and people turned to face her. Jan made a rude face at them and they all turned away. The two giggled and more softly Rachel added, "Well I was waiting by the door for him when at last he came out but was accompanied with two girls! He left without even talking to me!"
"The bastard!" Jan said. "I just wish that hell can fuck his soul-" and again some people turned to face the two. Rachel and Jan both this time made a rude face and the people with scandalised look turned away, and the two girls went out in the balcony.
"But Rach," Jan started.
"What?"
"As soon as Adriano saw me today, he asked me about you!"
"So?" Rachel asked without interest.
"Well this shows that he wants to talk to you!"
"I really don't care!" Rachel said snubbly and suddenly spotted Adriano walking over. "Oh my God! He's coming!" Rachel then said quietly and breathlessly. Jan laughed at her friend and walked away leaving the two alone.
"Hey Rachel," Adriano started awkwardly.
"Hello Mr.Diaz."
"Come on don't tell you're angry with me now?" he asked pleadingly.
"Well don't expect me to start gawping at you!""I'm sorry. I behaved like a prat yesterday. The point is that, I didn't imagine that the Concert will be that successful. It was my first opportunity for me to sing live and see my fans!"
"So?""So I became a tad bit big headed. I like the fame, after all it's a great game."
"Course it is. It's all you guys want, money and women."
"It's true, I do like money but I like women. And there's only one which I like."
Rachel puffed and Adriano laughed as he put his arm around her. "I do like you, really. But you have to understand that yesterday I was caught by surprise. Really, give me a chance."
Rachel looked at him and could see that he was speaking sincerely. "Well I guess I could give you a chance, Adriano."
"That's great!""Yeah!" Rachel said with a grin as she slithered out of his hands and left him. She walked over by the punch and had a drink.
"You still haven't forgiven me, haven't you?""No!" Rachel said with a laugh.
"Can this help you forgive?" he asked with puppy eyes and took out from his pocket a beautiful silver necklace.
Rachel gasped and put the glass on a table. She had her hands on her face and was looking at Adriano in a strange face.
"Yesterday, whilst I was with those girls, I felt that something wasn't right. You weren't there!"
"Thanks," Rachel muttered and Adriano put the necklace on her. He smiled at her and so did she. Suddenly Adriano leaned in and captured her lips and all Rachel could do was respond.
At that exact moment Harry entered the room and saw Adriano and Rachel kissing. Rachel opened her eyes and saw Harry by the door. She abruptly broke the kiss and said,
"Gimme a sec Adriano, I need to talk to a friend."
Adriano looked at the door and saw Harry. At that exact moment he knew that he hated him and so did Harry.
"Hey Harry!" Rachel said awkwardly.
"Found the boyfriend ay?" Harry asked in a tight voice trying to grin.
"Ermm... So you managed to come quite early!"
"At the wrong time I can see too!"
"Har, listen I ... we ... I'm sorry!" Rachel said as she stared at him.
"No need to be sorry!" he added cheerfully, "We were never dating or anything!"
"Yeah!" Rachel exclaimed in a fake cheerful voice.
"Well go over near him. Don't abandon him. Congratulations!" he then said and held out his hand.
"Thanks," Rachel answered as she shook hands. "Enjoy the party!"
"Sure," Harry answered and suddenly spotted Aunt Marge's ex-husband, Henry-George. Henry-George had always been friendly towards Harry and so Harry went over to talk to him.
"So who's that guy?" Adriano asked Rachel as she approached him.
"Oh I met him the other day, you know, nothing important!"
"Good," Adriano said as he observed Harry, his piercing dark Spanish eyes wishing to penetrate in Harry's heart.
-----
The party, like a concert was a great success. Adriano kept Rachel near him at all times and soon people were suspecting that something was going on. At the end of the party, Adriano called the people and said,
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I am very proud to have you here today. Now this party has been held for two reasons, one, as a reception or party, whatever you call it for yesterday's successful concert. And 2nd, an Engagement. At Spain, we are well known to marry in a short time, and today I would like to do the same. Rachel," Adriano called and the girl looking surprised moved near him.
"People, this is Rachel O'Sullivan. She's one of my dancers and I liked her ever since she joined my team of dancers. Rachel, I know you're gonna probably find this surprising because you English are bit different from us. Still I am going to ask you, Will you marry me?"
Rachel looked blankly at Adriano, definitely not expecting this and muttered, "Don't you think it's early?"
"Rachel, if there's love, there's no need to wait!"
"But we barely know each other!"
"That's why the Wedding will take place in 29 days. We're gonna spend 29 glorious days together getting to know each other and …"
"Seems you've got everything planned?"
"Seems as if it's a yes?" Adriano asked and without waiting for an answer locked his lips once again with Rachel's. People soon started clapping and as the two broke the kiss and Rachel saw the people's eager face she knew that she couldn't possibly say no. These people were all trusting Adriano, so why shouldn't she?
"Um, yeah," Rachel said definitely still unsure.
"Great! People, I present you the future Mrs.Diaz!" and again all people started clapping whilst the now official couple kissed. All people that is not counting one. Harry Potter.

Harry opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar room. It was the spare room in Rachel's apartment. What was he doing here? Why did his head hurt?
"What am I doin here?" Harry asked.
"I brought you here," he heard and turned round. It was Rachel seated on an armchair wrapped in a dressing gown.
"Why?"
"After the party I knew that you weren't ok. I just couldn't let you go back home by yourself. I followed you in a bar and you drank a lot. I then brought you here. You don't remember a thing?"
"Oh so now you're a detective ay? Following others?" Harry asked angrily.
"I was worried for you!"
"No you weren't. You just wanted to see me humiliate myself."
"No Harry I didn't!" Rachel said and with a run got near him on the bed and hugged him tightly.
"Get away! You're dating Adriano Diaz for Merlin's sake!"
"I know but you're my friend. I don't want to ruin our friendship!"
"There was never any friendship," Harry said firmly as he stood up. "Let me go!"
"No Harry," Rachel said as she started crying and blocked the door. "You're not leaving!"
"Yes I am!" Harry yelled and pushed Rachel to the side and ran out of the apartment leaving Rachel crying behind.
"What did I do? I am dating a guy I don't love and ruined a relationship with some I learned to like!" Rachel cried as she got on Harry's bed and smelled his scent on the pillow.
-----
27 days later.
Harry was in his apartment reading the newspaper. The article said,
Tomorrow, Saturday 11 September, Spanish Singer, Adriano Diaz and Rachel O'Sullivan will marry at St.Paul's Cathedral and hold a reception at Hilton Hotel in the heart of London…
Roughly Harry threw the newspaper on the floor and knew that he had lost Rachel... his Ginny. Tears fell on his cheek and rolled on his face.
"No I can't lose Ginny!" Harry yelled and he put on his coat and ran out of his apartment in the rain ready to talk to Rachel.
