My Arranged Marriage to John O'Callaghan

Who do you think you are! (Party part two)

“I cannot believe that was Carrie!” Talia said when they were back in the car.
“I know…” Emily mumbled looking down,
“I mean she’s really pretty but did you hear how she spoke of John”
“I know…” Emily said frustrated.
“Oh Emily I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to upset you!”
“Can we just, can we just not talk about it?”
“I’m so sorry!” Talia said and Emily just looked where she was driving.
Soon she pulled into the O’Callaghan’s driveway, as they entered Emily bumped into John he smiled while wrapping his arms around her, he then frowned.
“Are you feeling well Millie? You look a little pale” John said with concern, she avoided looking into his eyes,
“Yea I just need a nap…” she mumbled and John nodded he leant down and kissed her cheek, she smiled blushing sightly, loving the sweet look in his green eyes. Then a photo of Carrie flashed in her mind, John saw the change into her facial expression as she moved out of his embrace. John watched as she left with her head down and walked upstairs.
“Is something wrong with Emily?” He asked Talia and she shrugged,
“She appeared really pale this morning but I think who we met at the mall today upset her a lot…”
“Who did she meet?”
“You’ll have to ask her” Talia sighed and left.

Night of the Party

Emily woke up from her nap, she felt refreshed and energized. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was about 5:30 pm the party started at 6: 30pm, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Emily was determined to have a good night tonight, she was about to jump into the shower when someone knocked on the door.
“Yes?” She called out,
“Hey Millie do you mind if Austin picks you and Talia up for the party, I have to go help Pat and Garrett set up”
“No it’s fine I’ll see you there John”
“Alright bye baby” he said and she smiled.
“Bye sweetheart”
As John left she had a warm shower, she dried her hair and her locks came out perfect she smiled. Looking at her reflection, she noted she still looked really pale so she started applying some light eyeliner and dark eye shadow which brought out her dark brown eyes that people liked to label as ‘mysterious’. She applied mascara that made her already long eye lashes look longer; she had red lipstick which she applied on her plump lips and added blush to her high cheek bones. She put a red rose behind her ear and clipped it there, pulling her pretty red dress on she found black heels they definitely weren’t 5 inches she personally didn’t want to die or be in pain all night, her heels weren’t very high but they still made her legs look long and amazing. Stepping back to have a full view she smiled, she hoped she looked good and that John would be impressed, she mentally slapped herself and told herself to shut up.
“Millie let’s go” Austin’s voice boomed downstairs, Emily rushed and found Austin waiting down the stair case. When he saw her, his mouth dropped open and she laughed.
“Quite drooling Gibbs” She grinned and he snapped out of it, his cheeks pinked which surprised her.
“When did my best friend turn this sexy” He joked pushing her shoulder.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about I’ve always been sexy” she grinned and Austin ran a hand through his hair while nodding, he then led her to the car and they were off.

Party

When Austin slowed the car Emily saw a lot of people, Pat hired a hall not just a regular house party this was a large hall with a heck of a lot of people. Talia’s blue eyes widen in anticipation she grinned while Emily chuckled.
“It’s going to be a good night tonight!” Austin put an arm around Talia’s and Emily’s shoulders, as he walked, they heard whistles.
“Gibbs! who are those fine ladies with you?” Two handsome guys had grins on their faces,
“Don’t even think about Barakat or you Gaskarth!” He yelled.
“Please tell me those were not the band members from All Time Low!?” Talia whisper yelled.
“They were...” Austin said and she squealed, making both Emily and him roll their eyes,
Austin led them inside and Emily’s eyes immediately darted around the place trying to locate John, Austin bumped her and pointed. Her brown eyes followed the direction he pointed and she felt her breath catch. John looked incredibly handsome, he was wearing black skinny jeans, a white V- neck shirt and a leather Jacket. Austin steered Talia and Emily that way, the closer Emily was getting to John the more the butterflies accumulated, she saw he was drinking from a red plastic cup beer she thought wrinkling her nose. John took a full swing of his drink when Emily came into his view, the moment he saw her his eyes widen and he all but choked on his drink, they guys that were with him looked at him funny until they saw her, all of them hand their mouths open and some whistled. Emily blushed and felt like hiding,
“Emily?” John said as though he didn’t recognise her, she rolled her eyes.
“I’d think you would recognise your own fiancé” she tsked while giggling.
“That’s your fiancé!” one of the guys said, John nodded.
“You are a lucky man” he said with a salacious twinkled that disturbed Emily, John immediately got closer to her and put his arm around her waist protectively.
“You look beautiful” he whispered in her ear and she smiled at him happily.
“Do you want something to drink?” John asked and she wrinkled her nose.
“I don’t drink Alcohol...” she said and apparently the group heard because they all gasped,
“What...?” she asked quizzically.
“You don’t drink at all?”
“Nope.”
“Have you had it before?”
“Yup and I will say this now it did not end well” Emily winced at the memory all the while Gibby and Talia started laughing hysterically, all looked at them questioningly.
“Oh that night was Epic!” Gibby yelled and Talia grabbed her stomach while doubling over.
“Our dear Emily is a light weight; she gets drunk after a glass of champagne!” Talia said between chuckles.
“Light weight huh?” John smirked,
“And proud” Emily grinned.
“There are some soft drinks over there Millie” Austin pointed Emily smiled while she made her way over that way, as she reached for a can of lemonade someone bumped into her.
“Oh sorry...” A familiar voice said that didn’t sound apologetic at all. Emily turned around and came face to face with Carrie; she gulped of course she had to be here tonight.
“It’s fine...” Emily said and turned away quickly.
“Have I met you before?” Carrie asked and Emily sighed,
“I don’t think so, I’m new here”
“Oh that explains it so considering you’re pretty, want to hang out?”
“No.” Emily said curtly and that answer appeared to take both by surprise.
“I’d watch what you said to me if I were you” Carrie said in a fierce whisper, laughter boomed which made both look towards the group, Emily knew the exact moment Carrie saw John because a Cat like smile took over her face.
“I’m not scared of you” Emily said answering Carrie’s threat.
“You should be now I’m going to see my boyfriend” Carrie said walking towards John, Oh hell no! Emily thought.
“I’m 100% sure he’s engaged so he is not your boyfriend” Emily said casually and a sneer appeared on Carrie’s face.
“There is no way, those are just rumours.”
“No they are as real as you and I”
“He does not have a fiancé!” she yelled drawing curious looks from people nearby.
“Yes he does!” Emily said exasperated,
“And how would you know?!” Carrie yelled again.
“Because he’s engaged to me” Emily smirked and Carrie’s blue eyes blazed in anger, Emily walked closer to Carrie,
“So...Now listen to me clearly, stay away from him okay?” Emily said it wasn’t a threat she just didn’t want John to get hurt.
“Or what?” Carrie asked snidely,
“I’m not the type of girl to threaten anyone but I will not let you hurt John” Emily said curtly and Carrie’s face went red, like she was about to burst, her eyes were ice cold blue.
“This is not over” Carrie whispered dangerously.
“Yes it is” Emily glared, Carrie stomped away and Emily exhaled at least it was over for now she thought, as she turned she saw that a few people were looking at her including John and the gang, she knew it was impossible to have heard the conversation over this blasting music, but the body language would have communicated everything. Grabbing her lemonade she made her way to them, they were still looking at her Talia beamed at her knowingly and Emily winked.
“Is everything Okay?” John asked probably wondering what the heck happened between Emily and Carrie.
“Everything is perfectly fine” She smiled.
