Harriet's POV
I walk over to where Cain is stood and he kisses me tenderly on the lips.
"You didn't have to do that you know." He says gesturing over towards Moira.
"I know, but I wanted to. If we're going to get married I think it's best we all get along, she is part of your family." I explain rubbing his shoulder.
"There's no if. We are getting married and she may be a part of the Dingle clan but so are you." He tells me as he smiles. I smile in return giving him a soft, small kiss.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a Dingle, this is too much excitement for a girl" I laugh, pushing him lightly as I order another drink from the bar.
I order another vodka and coke before heading to sit back down with Cain and everyone else. Moira had since joined us so there was one less seat than before. Cain sits down on the last available chair leaving me without one. I question this slightly as he'd normally offer it to me.
I turn to grab another chair but I can't see any. I am took by surprise when Cain gestures to his knee, wanting me to sit down. I shake my head and laugh as he frowns.
"Come on, just sit down." Cain tells me, gesturing to his knee once again. Normally and in any other circumstance I would have refused but with a few drinks down me and no other seating option I obliged and took a seat on his knee.
Cains POV
I couldn't quite believe tonight. Harriet and Moira had made up, me and Harriet were engaged and I now had her sat on my knee. Harriet wasn't drinking her usual tipple and being on her 6th vodka of the night was taking its toll. She was a lot more confident when she'd had a drink and she could talk more with my family. Harriet was still sat on my knee and I had my arms wrapped around her. I was desperate to go to the toilet but there was no chance on me moving, not before she did anyways. This was a rare moment and I didn't intend on wasting it.
I see my dad pick up a glass most likely to make a speech. Ordinarily I would have stopped him but I'd had a fair few pints myself and was far too engrossed with my gorgeous fiancé upon my knee to even care what Zak had to say.
"I just wanted to make a toast to my boy. He hasn't always been the best behaved but he'd really turned a new leaf with you Harriet. I honestly thought you'd never marry anyone again but I was wrong. You and Harriet are good for each other and I'm so happy your part of this family. I really think this is it this time son and I wish you both the best of luck."
I was right, he was making a speech but it was sort of sweet. Everyone cheered and Harriet stood up to give Zak a hug which I must admit I was a little jealous of, she'd now got up from my knee.
Harriet's POV
It was quite a lot later now, around midnight and the only people left were me, Cain, Chas, Charity and Nicola. It was also a lot of vodkas and Jäger bombs later too, and I was unmistakably under the table: Cain was a little drunk too, but not as much as me. I feel his arms around me as he hands me my jacket.
"Come on, I'm taking you home." He says, smiling as he grasps my hand to leave.
"Bye you two!" Chas calls from behind the bar. I wave from by the door before running to kiss her on the cheek. I then walk out the door with Cain, hand in hand. He feels me shiver beside him and takes his blazer off to put around my shoulders.
"Thank you sweetheart." I say as I reach up to give him a kiss.
We soon reach the front door and as we walk in I can hear music - if forgot to turn the radio off.
Cain takes both our jackets after closing the door.
I start swaying in the living room to the song playing softly in the background. It was hungry eyes by Eric Carmen. I feel his arms around me for what feels like the hundredth time that night - not that I was complaining of course. He spins me around so I am facing him as we sway together along to the beat. I feel his presence slip away from me and I frown. My frown soon changes as I realise what he is doing. He's moving the furniture around so we can dance. My heart melts at what I can see before me, and I don't think I've ever loved him more.
"There. We've got more space now." He says before taking my hand in his as we begin to dance. The same song is still playing in the background as he spins me around the living room. My head is in the crook of his neck and its intoxicating. The smell of his cologne and beer mixed together combined with his sweet smell made my head spin.
Cains POV
I can smell her sweet perfume combined with the smell of vodka and it's intoxicating. I can't quite believe I'm dancing in the front room with my future wife at gone midnight. Harriet lifts her head up and looks into my eyes. I am In a trance, I can't take my eyes off her.
"I love you." She tells me, before kissing my lips.
"I love you too." I reply, kissing her back more forcefully. My hand wonders up to her face and gets tangled in her hair. It was like a reflex every time we kissed. I feel her hands on my shoulders as she pulls me even closer to her. I smile into the kiss as she walks backwards towards the sofa. We both fall back onto the sofa and laugh. I wish I could capture this moment and play it back, I loved it when she laughed. Seeing her happy was what made me happy. I feel her presence on my lips once again as she climbs on top of me. I think this night has most definitely been my lucky night, and it's not over yet.
