The Payne's believe in arranged marriages

Leave your comments please 🌸

On a sunny day in a small town named Snowfall, crisp leaves were laying on the surface of the water near the water banks. On the tree line of that bank sat a blond with sparkling blue orbs lost in his thoughts about what turns his life was taking.

The occasional thought crossed Niall's mind as he watched his French bulldog pup jump across the tree line. You see Niall was engaged to his older brother's best friend. Although his fiancé was a good high spirited gentleman liked he had always wanted, there was always a nagging thought in his mind about whether or not he had made the right decision by accepting the marriage proposal that their families proposed.

His fiancé, Harry Styles, was a young elite businessman who owned hospitals around the city; his inheritance of purse due to be being a Styles. Although Harry inherited the business he deserved each and everything as he had worked day and night to earn the trust of his parents and the board of directors.

The barks of a cute puppy brought Niall out of his daydream and he looked towards the puppy wagging its tail for attention and soon enough situated himself in Niall's lap. Niall just smiled and picked up the puppy and kissed him. He stood up with the puppy still in his arms and said, "let's go see uncle Liam, Shall we Tuffy!"

The blond boy soon arrived at his older brother's business firm, and was greeted by the Valet to take his car. After thanking the Valet he continued on his way to Liam's office to see what his brother was up to as their family was meeting the Malik's this evening for a dinner to propose a marriage between their son and Liam.

The Payne's believe in arranged marriages throughly as they believed that it would bring their families even closer. Niall was being arranged to marry Harry by his and Harry's family so that a family tradition of togetherness remained.

Niall soon stood in front of a mahogany door about to knock when the doors opened and there stood Harry Styles, his future husband, with a smile on his face and when he saw Niall he engulfed the younger boy in a big hug.

"Hey, how have you been?" Harry said, smiling brightly.

"H-Hey, I didn't know you were visiting Liam... what's up?" Niall said slowly. Although they were engaged, they acted nothing like partners as neither Harry nor Niall had romantic feelings for each other. Their families believed that it was very much possible to fall in love after marriage which is what they were hoping to do."Come in, I was just leaving I have a meeting," Harry said bringing Niall out of his thoughts. "You should talk to Lima bean about tonight's dinner, he is a little nervous... he thinks he is being forced in the institution of marriage!" Harry whispered, stifling his laughter.

"He is in good hands now good sir! See ya later dude" Niall said imitating a salute.

"Later bud, call if you need something! Have fun!" Harry said walking out ruffling Niall's hair a bit.

Niall walked in and saw Liam laying on a sofa in the said of his office with a hand over his face. "Helllllooooooo Brother! How's it hanging" Niall shouted entering the room.

"You're here! Great! Now help! How do I cancel the dinner? You know I don't wanna get married anytime soon..." Liam pleaded desperately. Although Liam was not an easy person to talk due to his attitude and personality, he was extremely protective and affectionate towards people he loved and cared for.

"Well, why not?!? I have seen the lads pictures, he is kinda beautiful. I would totally hit that!" Niall shrieked, gaining Liam's attention as his brother got off the sofa and stood sluggishly in the corner near a window.

"What if he is a snob?" Liam said making a face. "You know I hate pretentious motherfu-" a knock echoed through the room before Liam could finish his sentence. "Come in!" Liam said. A tall blonde walked through the door holding a binder. "Yes Gigi? May I help you" Liam asked with an attitude.

"P-p-proposal of the merger with Tomlinson pharmaceuticals sir." Gigi, Liam's assistant stuttered out. She was dead scared of the man.

"Okay leave it in the desk. I will call you, when you're needed." Liam said mindlessly staring out of the window as Gigi walked out the door closing it behind once more.

"Well I don't think he will be a snob. He is smart and kind, after all, he is a medical resident" Niall said ringing his fingers. "I mean what could be bad about a young resident doctor, who helps out on Sundays for charity" Niall smiled when Liam turned around and gave him a look that said you win!

Niall went over to his brother and gave him a hug as he told him that everything was going to go just fine. Liam was panicking on the inside but he chose to maintain a calm exterior and just went along the flow as him and Niall excited his office to head home to so he could get ready to go head to this godforsaken dinner to potentially meet his life partner who he will be expected to love and cherish, start a family with and spent the rest of his life with. Who knew what was in store for Liam.

Zayn, on the other hand, was as nervous as Liam was, sitting in his room with his head in Louis, his best friend's lap, as he ran his fingers through it.

"What if he hates me and rejects me. You know abu won't like that" Zayn said tracing patterns into Louis' thigh. Louis and Zayn were friends since childhood and grew up together as brothers. They talked about everything there was to talk about. Currently Louis was sitting on Zayn's bed with his head in the lap.

"He will be dumb to reject you. I know Liam Payne... my dad wants to do business with him... he is doing a startup in the pharmaceutical industry." Louis said shifting a little. "Although, Liam's a little straightforward, he is a good man and knows how to value precious things!"

"I hope for my own sake" Zayn said sitting up. "I want abu and ami to be proud of me... I wanna give them all the happiness. They deserve it, even if it means me marrying a stranger." He stated with a lingering smile on his lips, staring out the window of his room.

"Don't worry!! Get up and start getting ready. You're gonna do great! I have to go my shift at the hospital starts in an hour!" Louis said putting on his sneakers. "I hate how less the time is for me to rest" He said huffing a little, pulling his fringe out his eyes.

"Oh well! You chose to be a doctor... no one forced you., soooo see ya later babe!" Zayn said laughing a little at Louis' pouting face. Louis looked his a cute little baby would was just denied a piece of candy.

"Okay call me later and let me know how it goes!" Louis said hugging Zayn and walking out."Bye...I will" Zayn whispered slowly.
