Darren's P.O.V;

I've been at this engagement party for about 2hours now. It has been good to see Cory again, and all the other lads from high school. Chord and Mark have been trying to hook me up with a girl aaaall night, no exaggeration. I was actually getting fed up with it, I mean don't get me wrong, I did want to find a girl, it was just they were so adamant to help me, and they weren't that good at helping, if I'm honest.

'What about her?' Mark pointed at this girl who was stood by the food; she was good looking and looked very pretty in her black flowing dress.

'I think you should go for it, man' chord said as he and Mark gave me a slight push in her direction.

I sighed, straightened my blazer and walked over to her, I was about to say hi, when this tall man came over and kissed her. I looked back to Chord and Mark and just shrugged. This had happened the majority of the night. The girls that they picked out, either had boyfriends with them or boyfriends who were at work.

I gave up on the whole setting up programme and walked over to the kitchen; there was me and just this one girl.

'This party is fun hey?' I tried to make conversation with her; I was looking at the floor the whole time.

'Yeah, I don't even know the people, I'm roommates with the bride to be's cousins bestfriend.'

'That's not confusing at all' I laughed, I finally looked up to the girl I was talking to. Man, she was gorgeous! She had long brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, you could get lost in them. She looked amazing; she was wearing a dark blue dress and a blazer. Words cannot explain how good she looked.

'I know yeah, I'm Alison by the way' she smiled at me.

'I'm Darren, would you like a drink?' she nodded at me instantly.

One drink, turned into 5.

'So your friends have been trying to hook you up, all night?' she said, words were slurred due to the amount of drinks.

'Yeah, it hasn't be going well, I think they tried to set me up with every taken girl here!' I don't know why, but she was so easy to talk to…or the drinks were not letting me stop talking.

'Well they don't know what they are missing out on' she said that and coughed as if she regretted it.

'Haha, you're so cute,' I smiled, while shuffling closer to her. She blushed at my compliment. I found myself sat right next to her. 'I've loved your company, why didn't I find you first' I looked up and saw she was staring back at me. We looked at each other, with complete desire in each other's eyes.

'Stop me if you want Alison!' as soon as the words left my mouth, I edged my face to hers.

'Mmm, okay!' she said this and edged her face closer too.

We leant at the same time and our lips crashed. It was weird, it has been the first time I felt fireworks, like proper fireworks. She didn't stop me and I didn't want to stop.

'Should we take this to the spare room?' I broke apart the kiss just to ask this question.

'Show me the way…' she grabbed my hand and waited for me to take her there.

I did as she asked and swept her away, I literally ran to that spare room, luckily Lea was adamant to give me a tour of the house when I got here, which meant I knew where the room was. When we got in, I shut the door and crashed my lips against hers again; I felt her moan into the kiss. I walked us backwards until we hit the bed and lay on top of her. All I could think of was how good tonight would be.

Monica's P.O.V;

I only came to this party for Hayley, but man can she throw a hell of a party. Don't get me wrong, seeing her after nearly 5 months of Skype conversations and phone calls was brilliant, I just feel out of place here. I've met Lea once and nobody else ever! I dragged Alison along just so I knew someone other than Hayley. I'm literally just sat on this sofa, on my own, while everyone else mingled. 'Someone save me please.' Was all I could think about. Then I suddenly remembered, I sent Alison to get me drink 15minutes ago, 'she better have a good reason why she is taking so long.'

Another 10 minutes or so passed, and Hayley came over and sat with me. When I told her over the phone a couple of days ago that Alison would be coming too, I didn't think she would want me here at all. She wasn't angry, she was just upset that she wouldn't be seeing me on my own, I had to reassure the whole 2 days before I got to New York that with Alison being there, it won't stop us spending time together. So she finally seemed happy that Alison was coming too.

'MONICA!' she literally attacked me with a hug, her slurred words and alcohol riddled breath explains the affection. Since her family wasn't here, Lea agreed to letting Hayley have a drink, Hayley had more than one.

'How much have you had, you light weight?' I pushed her off me, she was a light weight, once we went to a friend's party and sat on the floor drinking, she had a bottle of WKD and couldn't stop giggling, we were both the same, I hadn't drunk that much yet.

'about 3 small bottles…woops' she knocked over somebody's drink from the coffee table trying to put her feet up, and the drink had spilled over Lea's cream carpet, 'Lea is going to kill me, I should clean it up' she tried to stand up but fell back onto the sofa. She looked at me with pleading eyes.

'Fine, I'll do it, but luckily for you, I need to go investigate Alison's where about in the kitchen anyway.' I sighed getting up; I patted Hayley's legs as she had put them up on the coffee table.

She put her legs down, 'THANK YOU MONICA' she shouted at me, and I just about heard her as the music suddenly got louder.

'Seriously, where are you Alison?!' I made my way through the dancing crowd of unfamiliar people.

When I looked into the crowd, I saw a familiar person. He was stood there with a boy, he was stood there, in a shirt and tie, but with jeans, he looked very cute, his blonde hair swept to the side.

I changed my direction so I could walk over to him, 'the carpet can we wait', as I was getting closer, I smiled when it was confirmed. When I was face to face with him, I smiled even bigger than I thought was possible.

'Hey...'

Chord's P.O.V;

I'm so happy for Cory and Lea, I mean, they so deserve each other. This party is also so awesome, credit to the Hayley girl who threw this party, she did an amazing job. I was stood with Mark, after Darren left us we just stood next to the stereo chatting about college.

'So no girl yet, Chord?' he knew the answer, he was just being smug.

'No Mark…how are you and Naya?' I hadn't seen Naya all night, so I thought they may be over, but I asked anyway.

'We are good, man. She isn't here as she had to do college work, but she will be at the wedding!' he smiled, he seemed genuinely happy. 'I'm going to get a drink, want one?' I nodded, he walked away. I looked around, since I was on my own now. I saw two girls on the sofa, one with ginger hair and one with brown. The brunette looked very unimpressed when the other girl knocked a drink on the floor when putting her feet up. I laughed at the situation, as you could tell the ginger haired girl was very drunk. When the brunette got up and left, I saw her in the light, properly. She looked so familiar. I just couldn't place where I knew her from. As I realised I was staring, I was about to look away, when she looked up to me and smiled. She must have known me too. She started walking towards me, so I did the same. As soon as we met in the middle, we were both smiling.

'Hey…' she looked beautiful. She was smiling, she was wearing a long white dress that looked so good on her, her hair was all tied back into a bun, and I can't explain how good she looked in any more words.

'Hey, you alright?' this was all I managed to choke out.

'I'm good thanks, you?' I finally placed where I knew her from, the drama girl, Monica. It's been 3 months since the whole hallway scene, we have been texting ever since, we had been on like 5 dates, but we hadn't made us official or anything and man was I falling for her. She looked even more beautiful then I remembered.

'Yeah, I'm fine, look, shall we go get a drink or something?' she looked me in the eye and nodded. I smiled and took her hand and led her to the kitchen. I saw Mark on the way to the kitchen, he winked at me and lifted his glass up to me, in sort of a 'go on, lad' thing, and I couldn't help but laugh at him.

I poured us two glasses of red wine, as I turned around to pass her the glass, she walked closer to me and I tipped it all over the front of her dress. Yet again, I made a mess of her things.

'Shit, I am so sorry!'

'Haha, it's fine, it's only a white dress' she said laughing, I just smiled at her.

'I feel so bad though, I mean, it's a white dress that will so stain, look, we can try and wash it off!' I moved my hand to get some tissue, she grabbed my hand. I couldn't help but feel some sort of butterflies.

'It's fine, honestly, I mean, it's more unique now, I like unique!' her enthusiasm was so contagious.

'Haha, okay, as long as you are sure!' I couldn't help but smile while I was around her.

'I'm positive, I like this dress more now!' I couldn't help but laugh, she joined in. Before I knew it, our faces were inches away and we were just staring into each other's eyes.

'You're so beautiful!' while I said this, I pushed a loose piece of her hair behind her ear. She blushed at what I had said and lowered her head. I had to do what I did next. I just hope she responds. I lifted her chin up and crashed my lips against hers. I couldn't help but smile through the kiss, when I felt her kiss back. This felt so right.

'I know we aren't official or anything, but we've been on dates and well, shall we move this into the spare room?' I felt so weird asking this, I don't know why.

'I don't know where the spare room is, so you'll have to show me the way…' she smiled at me; I grabbed her hand and led the way to the room. I shut the door and we crashed lips again. She made us walk towards the bed and must have stopped walking when the bed hit the back of her legs and just let herself fall onto the bed. I heard and little scream coming from underneath me, I knew she must of wanted this as much as I did, so I deepened the kiss. I literally couldn't wait for this to happen.
