CHAPTER 9:

I have NEVER been this nervous in my life.NEVER..and to think it's all for a party!!!I've dressed up the best I could, with as little make up as I could-because, you see..Christina Aguelira ,I AM NOT!Ari looks gorgeous..that's a given!Liam looks like he's won the World Cup, as he smiles at her..

Kate and Alex look so adorable together and Paula and Josh are complimenting each other("Oh Josh...you look great in a tux!" "Oh Paula...you look wonderful yourself!"...EW!!!)

I walk about with Gerald...who is wearing a tux.You know..i usually associate tuxedos as things that make anyone look good..i'm not asking for a Leonardo di Caprio in the "Titanic" tux..but...Gerald-in-a-tux..looks...STRANGE!!!

I'm walking with him , to the party room...speaking as less as I can. "You look great!" he says.I just say "Thanks"..NOT..'Thanks, you do too.."which is what he expects.Soon..the party's rocking..Marianne looks great in a peach outfit, much to Ari's disgust.

I move to Ari(to escape Gerald..who's boring me and eating..already).Ari (who's today's fashion critic) is scribbling on her notepad..and sitting very close to Liam..so..I'm not very interested in sitting there either.

William's video-taping the party.He looks as calm and sensible as usual...and in a tux..he looks...ermm...lets just say that he would have given Leonardo di Caprio a run for his money.He doesnt seem to notice me though..

I get near the window..this party is suffocating ...the loud Eminem songs don't help either..The wind is blowing the curtains in the window..it's quite beautiful actually.

"Hi" William says.

"Hey..i just came for some air" I smile.

"Yeah...me too..it's not much fun video-taping this" he frowns.

"Why??I thought you liked it??"

"Well..not this...i like to video-tape people how they really are...you know..normally...the thing is..the moment they see me with the canon..they give the worst...you know..most artificial smile..ever"he smiles-a dazzling smile.He has an alternate career you know.."Colgate" Advertisements.

"Ha ha...yeah.."I smile

"Yeah..more artificial than even Cameron Diaz" he says

"And if you record them without them knowing..they'll probably think you're stalking them" I laugh.

"Yeah..sure" he smiles.

I look out of the window...don't ask me why i did it...for a 'dramatic' effect ..i guess..but you know me..it...back-fired..I have a very very sensitive nose.The wind blows some dust on to my face...spoiling the 'romantic' effect..

"What are you looking at?" he asks...

"Oh.."I begin..."ACHOO!!"

Oh my God!!! NO...Please ..NO...this is NOT going to be the start of another of my famous sneezing fits!!NO!!

"Bless you' he says

"Than-...ACHOO!"

"Bless you"-again.

"ACHOO...ACHOO.."I'm louder this time....which is SO mighty embarassing!!

"Bless you" he says again..and adds "Do you have a kerchief?"

"N-ACHOO!!...No....ACHOO!"-This is simply-the WORST moment, MOST embarassing moment of my life!!!!

William runs and gets me a paper tissue, by which time I've completed 5 more sneezes..and it's finally ended..

"Here"..he has a sort of a weird smile in his face..as he gives me the tissue.

"I'm sorry.."I say.

"Oh come on..."he smiles..

"No..really..i'm so allergic to dust...sorry.." I stammer.

"Hey..it's ok..another sorry..and i'll ask people to report about the.."Sneezing sensation" he teases as he sits beside me.

"Hey...no way.." I laugh..

And look into his blue eyes...you know..if i was a "Mills and Boon" kinda story writer(i haven't read a single  Mills and Boon...but you still know..).I'd probably describe them much better....than just the "Daniel Craig" kinda...'..

Ari comes up to me along with Kate and Paula..and gives William her camera.."Could you take a pic of us?"she smiles.

"Sure" says William.

So...Kate, in her beautiful sequined gown, Paula in her cute red one, Ari in her amazing mauve and I, in my favourite brown,smile at William as he clicks..

"Nice,girls.." he smiles .

"Hey...Liam.."Ari calls "why dont you take a pic?..come pose with us William" she says..

WHAT!!??

William smiles "Sure.." and comes beside me .

Oh My Gosh!Is he nice!!!!...

"Smile eveyone " says Liam...

Everyone smiles...I give a goofy one...i'm kinda nervous..you see.William notices this , i guess.

Because...he leans to me and whispers .."You think of your sneezes..and I'm sure you can come up 
with a better smile.".

And..I smile radiantly.Only..I'm not thinking about my sneezes.
