Fabian had offered to buy me a drink whilst I found us a table. It was difficult to find a place to sit as the pub was overcrowded with workaholics who were here because it was happy hour. I eventually found a table that was secluded, perfect for an intimate chat. Fabian took another twenty minutes to find me, but that didn't matter he was here and that was what was important.

"So are you going to tell me about what I witnesses outside?" Of course Fabian was going to ask questions. Who wouldn't ask, it was hardly subtle to say the least. What was I supposed to tell him, the truth wasn't exactly going to cut it?

"Well, he just my Ex- Eddie. I didn't work out and we left on bad terms." It wasn't really a lie, actually it was the most truthful thing I had said about my life but it wasn't the full extent of the truth. I could hardly tell him about the Arrangement.

"Was it serious?" Fabian wasn't trying to intruded he was speaking softly, caringly. He genuinely seems to care, I can't believe it I knew there was a reason why I liked Fabian.

"No not really." It wasn't serious that was true I knew the guys for what three days tops, it didn't stop the fact that I felt something the moment I laid eyes on him.

"Can I ask you a personal question, Patty?" I really did love Fabian's caring nature but what did he have to ask?

"I guess so"

"Did that Eddie guy, cheat on you?"

"No, no I was just too wild for his tastes, he preferred a girl who was more prim and proper." I guess that was a fair analysis, it was true he did prefer my perfect sister Piper. "Look Rutter, enough about my life, what about yours?"

"Well there's not a lot to tell, I came back over to England after I broke it off with Nina. Then took up an internship with James Hewitt; the world's top esteemed lawyer. Then he offered me a job at his company Hewitt and Associates and that's pretty much my life." I had no idea that Fabs had done that well for himself, apart from the Nina thing.

"That's incredible Fabs, you've done so well for yourself."

We must have spent hours, endlessly discussing our lives as Piper burst through the doors requesting my presence at home. She didn't seem angry, so she obviously wasn't upset about the party which I'd forgotten to plan.

"Hey Patty, that's where you got to. I've been looking for you everywhere; I just wanted to know whether you wanted to go dress shopping tonight?" She was pleading with me, I guess as maid-of-honour that was part of my duties so I'm not able to say no. Great!

"Sure, when do you want to go?"

"Now!" Why did it not surprise me that she wanted me to go right away? I make my apologises to Fabian, explaining that I'm living with bridezilla. I bid Fabian a goodbye and promise to catch up with him tomorrow morning before the party. On our way out of the pub I notice Eddie across the pond with a blonde haired girl. I can't help but feel jealous but I feeling something else, I'm feeling sympathetic towards her. Without thinking too hard I storm over there, I can feel Piper following me, but there is no stopping me now.

"Wow, replaced me already." Eddie is just staring, like he doesn't know how to reply. He drops his head, I'm unsure as if it's because he's embarrassed or ashamed.

"Excuse me, I think you should leave." It was the blonde-haired girl who spoke up. I turned to focus my attention to her, she was quite simply stunning but I didn't want to know her, I was her to warn her.

I couldn't help what came out my mouth next, "You need to careful, sweet cheeks as Eddie is not the guy you think he is. He will have you believe that he's really into you and then when he got exactly where he wants you, he will break your heart." It was at that moment I decided to try at a look in Eddie's direction. I could see it in his eyes; he was ashamed; upset that he had made me feel this way.

Piper was the ones who decided to diffuse all tension, "Patty, we should go. You need a dress!" I could see she was trying and she was right, I couldn't think about Eddie right now I needed to be the best maid-of-honour ever. So with that we turned to leave, I couldn't help but listen into the end of Eddie and this mysterious blonde conversation, she spoke softly "So that's her." To which Eddie replied "Yeah!"

As we walked away and all I could think was that Eddie had spoken about me to some other girl. Why? What did she know? All these questions were swilling round in my head; I needed to shake this feeling for Piper sake. She broke the silence once again, "So I got your message about the party, I like the theme. We just need to get the right outfit. Come on, there's a nice shop downtown."

"Okay."

We took the car to the shop downtown to a small vintage shop with these amazing dresses; most of which I cannot afford. The racks of beautiful dresses are sorted into different colours. Piper was looking through the pink, red and purple dresses. Whilst I am looking through aray of beautiful black dresses.

"Patty, don't get a black dress."

"Why not, you can never have too many black clothes."

"Just look at this one" I had to admit it was beautiful, it was sea blue dress encrusted with diamonds; it must have been worth a fortune.

"Piper, we can't afford that."

"Yes, we can, I insist you try it on."

"Fine!" I took the dress into the changing room, this was the one, I knew it before I'd even put it on. So once on, I took myself outside to show Piper.

All I could say was, "This is the one!"
