The engagement party expect…anything! Hope you like.

This week has been the quickest of my life; yesterday just wasn't long enough. We were at founders square till gone two in the morning; setting tables, decorating ceilings, preparing the dance-floor, on and on we went till everything looked perfect but that's not what it will look like tonight. Tonight it will be magical; designers are going in to create our perfect evening. This is something neither Claire nor Eve knows of; in just a few short hours we will be celebrating with our town our engagement.
Michael and I are just playing on the game consoles whilst Eve has dragged Claire of to get some style of beauty treatment. Their outfits arrived today; along with the bill! My god the bill, figure after figure; I really hope it's worth it. Both Michael and I gasped in the empty air as we were handed the invoice; I could hear the girl's sniggers from upstairs. On the other hand me and Michael are wearing tuxedos; I felt stupid in the store but hey it's for Claire.
Tonight is going to be perfect; I just hope we can enjoy it. People will behave I hope but I do doubt tonight won't end with some sort of violence.
And here they are back. Claire looks beautiful; her skin a natural tan; her hair curled round her shoulders; whilst her normally nonexistent nails are painted in long strokes of blue and pink. She looks angel like. Yet still we sit as normal, curled together on the sofa whilst Eve and Michael take the Chair. We just talk about nothing and everything; we laugh inappropriately; joke like its nothing and giggle when it's far from right. It's like a family; the Glass house family. Every-day is a fight but when the prize is this good; I can never ever lose.

Me and Eve have been in her room for so long, she keeps changing my makeup, changing my hair, then changing her own; even though I think it's perfect every time. The boys are getting ready now; I can hear the shower; I can hear the sprays of deodorants, followed by the sprits' of aftershave; closely followed be footsteps descending the stairs.
Now Eve has finally managed perfection; she slips the dress slowly over my head -careful of the makeup- letting it hang on my curves; slowly she fits the corset to size and slips my beautiful heels on- now I feel like a princess. Delicately she dresses herself, Eve looks amazing. There is no doubt in my mind; her beauty radiates; she's glamorous. We both look amazing because tonight isn't just my night or Shane's night, it's our night to finally move on from our past.

Time to go! Me and Claire are trying to 'safely' descend the stairs; heels are not meant to be used when in a hurry! Anyway it's worth it; no matter how many times I see their faces it still creases me. Both of them look like love sick teenagers; jaws dropped and eyes glued. Ha. It doesn't last long, before they are complementing and ushering us out of the house.
We aren't going in one of our cars; we are going in a vintage Bentley- I'm so excited. We all somehow fit; and then we drive off. Sadly I'm surprised it's all going so well, I'm expecting the worst I think we all are.

I can hear the music already; we are like two blocks away. I'm snuggled into Shane's side; playing with the ring on my finger. Last week I was devastated but this week… I couldn't be happier. Shane and Michael keep shooting each other weird looks- random looks, I'm intrigued. But before I can say anything I see my party; not the party I designed last night… no this is the party if my dreams.
All my guests are mingling together; all the columns of the square alive with lights; dancing circles of lights reflecting off every surface and this is for me. Eve's gasps are full of shock and awe whilst mine is full of love and amazement. Shane's whisper is soft and gentle "you like?"
This takes me completely off guard; my Shane did this for me. I whisper back "you did this?" His cocky grin is full of his own pride "yeah, you never answered my question" I just reply simply "I love it!" Before kissing him hard on the lips; trying to show how much I adore my event. Yet we are interrupted by the cheers and shouts of our crowd; tonight is our night.
As we step out the car, the sky above us is filled with fireworks spelling our name; I look up and have no words but the smile fills me with joy. Shane kisses me again; which just makes the rows upon rows of guest cheer louder and louder; till the night is full of echoes of our names- making my night sweeter and sweeter… since when have I been this lucky?
Next chapter is the party!xx
