Trapped In Lace

Thirty Two

I walk over and my dad spots me, "Lily!"

I smile, "hey dad"

"This is David and Victoria" he says

I look at them and i smile shaking their hands with each of them, "hello"

"Hello, it's nice to meet you" David says

"You too, I hope your both having a good time" i say

"Oh the best" Victoria says, "I love your dress"

"Thank you very much" I say, "it makes me feel so elegant"

"Excuse me Lily?" A voice says and i turn around to see Henry

"Hey what's up Henry?" I ask him

"I can't find my granddad" he says nervously

"Who's your grandad sweetheart?" I ask him

"His name is Frank, I came with my grandma as well" he says

"I've met them today actually, I'll help you find them" i tell him

I turn around, "I'll be right back"

They all smile and I take Henry's hand, "I hope you've eaten most of the buffet"

"Don't worry, I definitely have" he says and i chuckle

"I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation" he says

"It's alright Henry, I'll be talking to a lot of people tonight so it's nice to have a break" i say

"There they are!" He says smiling

"Are you okay from here?" I ask and he nods

"Yeah, thank you!" He says and i smile

"It's no problem" I say and he runs off to his grandma and he hugs her

I turn away and walk back towards my family who are mixing well with the Beckham family.

"Lily" Emma says and I walk towards her

"What's up Em?" I ask

"This is cruz" she says and I look forward to see him with a smile on his face

I nod and he does the same, "it's nice to meet you, I'm lily"

"It's nice to meet you too" he says

"Look lily! I made a friend!" Lizzie says standing next to Harper and i smile at them

"I can't believe your all real princesses!" Harper gushes and i chuckle

"Come on Harper , don't bother them" A voice says and I look up to see Brooklyn standing next to two other people. One is his brother Romeo and one is a girl that I don't recognise.

"Hello I'm lily" i tell the boy

"Romeo, this is my girlfriend Mia" he says

"It's lovely to meet you both, I hope this event isn't as boring for you as it is for Leo" i say making them laugh

"What?" Leo asks half asleep

"Leo, get a grip" Emma snaps, "pathetic"

"Your pathetic! It's hard carrying the looks in this family, it tries you out" he says and I roll my eyes

"I think it's fairly obvious to say that it's Lily who has the looks" Lizzie says

"Thanks Lizzie, but it's you" i say

"It's me" Lizzie says and we all laugh and I turn my attention to Brooklyn standing next to Harper

"Hello, I'm Brooklyn" he says shaking my hand

"Lily, I heard you got engaged. Congratulations" I say

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to it" he says

"When's the date?" I ask him

"Six months" he says and i smile

"Well, I hope the preparation hasn't been too difficult" i say

"Lily is getting married next year!" Lizzie blurts and they all look at me

"You are?" Cruz asks

"An arranged marriage" Emma says

"To who?" The girl asks

"Good question, if only I knew the answer" I say

"Wait you don't know? What if he's a prat?" Romeo asks

"Romeo, language!" His mother scolds

"Sorry" he mumbles and Mia chuckles

"Well it's a risk I'm going to have to take if I want to rule. It's such a stupid rule" i say

"What if you don't love him?" Mia asks me

"I'm going to have to suck it up" i say

"At least she loves Alex" Leo says

"Oh my god , shut up about Alex! Nothing will happen with him and he made that clearly obvious the other day" I snap and Leo and Emma's jaws drop

"What happened?" Emma says

"Look it just doesn't matter because in the end, when it comes to next year when I have to get married, if Alex and I get together and we fall in love it will break each other's hearts. So I might as well only break my own heart by not being in love than breaking another persons heart at the same time" i say

"Wow" Cruz says

"Anyway, enough about my complicated love life. Does anyone know how I'm meant to go to the toilet in this dress?" I ask and they all laugh
