Harry's POV

I saw her, I saw my Natalie.
Those brown eyes, that olive skin,
The kohl, the simplicity, it was her, immensely busy in her thoughts. Somethings really do not change.
One can change one's attire, change one's decor, but the little things the small eccentricities regarding one's character and behaviors never change.
Rightly said "sometimes the clothes do not make the man."
My thoughts were interrupted by a certain voice.

"Hey guys!" A different voice greeted us.
I recovered quick and responded.

"Hi." Zayn and myself said in unison.

"Nat ?" Zayn quizzed.

"Oh sorry, Grant this is Zayn, Zayn this is Grant." She introduces them.

"Zayn nice to meet you man finally, big fan of your music."

"Hey thanks man." Zayn continued.

"This is Harry my friend, Harry this is Grant."

"Hello." We shook our hands. Exchanging smiles.

It was quiet awkward, as I had no clue who this guy was, I thought I saw him somewhere, but I had absolutely no idea why he was standing next to Natalie, holding her hands like a prized position.

Although him on the other hand. Seemed to know a lot about me and my music. Always should appreciate a fan right . Treat people with kindness remember. Yes Grant must be someone close to Natalie like family member or something. My conscience spoke.

All these thoughts were going on in my mind , when I was interrupted by the same voice. Grant, yeah that was his name.
"Hey babe it's time." He said to Nat , pecked her on the cheek. and took her away.

'Babe' excuse me... what does he mean babe, what is wrong, wait what's happening oh oh oh I know Natalie figures out I was coming and she is putting up the same ranbir drama all over again yeah I get it. This is just play pretend. She wouldn't let him call her babe as far as I know. Who is this guy?

I saw him holding her by the waist .

I swear if he touched her again I'll kill him.
I will not care if he was someone very important to the Peter's. No I would not give up Nat that easy she's mine I've done that mistake once not doing it again,
She's mine.

Grant got on stage, and took a bottle of champagne along with him, also Natalie was by his side.
Nat was worried,

"Hey guys thank you so much for joining us on such short notice, well we are here to celebrate two things ."

Everyone looked confused and started murmuring by themselves, he continued
"Number one the success of the album Hurry,"
people applauded and cheered for Nat ,
" yeah Natalie" said one "Bravo Nat" said the other .

Grant smiles and then put a finger on his lips and squinting his eyes
He shushed them. "And second my lovely fiancé, Natalie Peters , yes she finally said yes ."

That is it ...........I realized why she was so estranged , why she was so bewildered on seeing me. She didn't want me to ruin her life once again. One that she and Grant are on the way of building.

She had already left me behind. She had moved one.

Natalie's POV

Grant opened the bottle of champagne, he was ecstatic to announce it to the world, that I was his, that I am gonna be married to him. He poured the champagne in the glasses decorated and handed the bottle over to a sommelier, and come back to me with one of the glasses.

"Babe," handing the glass over to me he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him, "I love you." His left hand held. my waist, while his right hand found my face, he reduced the gap between our faces, and crushed our lips together. I could feel how happy he was, and how he had waited so long to do this. His warm moist lips all over mine, massaging them softly somehow made me feel secure. Finally he broke away.

"I'm happy , thank you Nat."

I smiled and looked at the guest , they had already started cheering for us rooting us as a celebrity couple.

"Gralie, Gralie, Gralie." Carlos started the chanting, and everyone else followed in.

"Thank you guys, please enjoy the party." Grant announced.

"Hey Nat congratulations." Danielle squeaked, pulling me in a hug, "thank you Dany".

"Grant has been planning it for months, he really can't stop talking about you ." I replied with a smile.

"Hey Dan!" Grant exclaimed, " Can I please get back my fiancé."

"Sure she all yours." Danielle replied.

"Candice just left." Carlos comes and informs Grant.

" Wait is everything alright?" Quizzes Grant, and leaves with Carlos.

"He is oblivious to the fact that she actually likes him." Danielle tells me. "Is it?"

We were interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Natalie congratulations." Zayn takes a hold of my hand and shakes it, I excuse myself from Danielle and come along with zayn ,
"Congratulations" he repeated,
"Hey umm thanks for coming you know." I didnt know what to say my eyes they were searching for him .
"Nat, honestly you might be good at a lot of things but not small talk you know."

He took a sip of the champagne from his glass.
I didn't know what to say again my eyes had almost filled up to the brim.

Before I could say anything he continued ,
"What do you wanna know?"
"u-um where is he?".

There was an awkward pause and regret before he continued
"He left."
