laugh, I turn to look at her and she’s stood with Tom, Amber and Kyle. Amber is giggling too and Kyle is looking at her questioningly.
                  “Well I can assure you that she is amazing and has a very impressive mind” Chris continues and I smirk over at Cat and Amber because they are now being shushed by their other halves.
                  “May I introduce to you the lady herself, who has a few words to say to you all” Chris ends his introduction and a few heads turn my way as I make my way to the stage.
                  “Not so bad yourself darling” I wink at him when he passes the microphone over.
                  “Behave” he chuckles making me pout.
                  “Hi everyone” I smile at all the faces in front of me.
                  “Let me just thank you all for inviting me to such a lavish party. As a few you may know this charity is one that is very close to my heart. A year ago my mother died of breast cancer; it was a very hard time for myself and my family. The volunteers for this charity however went out of their way to support us during that hard time. I cannot express how grateful and admired I am by them. What they do on a day to day basis is extraordinary and greatly appreciated.
                  “During those last horrifying days of my mothers life, they helped us focus on what was important, not grieving for her life which was not yet taken or hoping for a miracle which was very unlikely but to putting all our efforts into saying goodbye. I really admire what they do and I know I’m not the only person.
                  “My father couldn’t make it this evening but he has a donation that he has asked me to give to you. Once again I thank you for all the support you gave us. It is because of you that we are still a strong family. I only hope that some day I can help someone like you helped me.” I put the microphone back on the stand and everyone applauses.
                  The organization leader shakes my hand and kisses my cheek before he introduces the next person.
                  Chris takes my hand and leads me over to Cat and Tom.
                  “That was a beautiful speech Lou” Tom hugs me.
                  “Thanks” I smile up at him awkward from the attention.
                  “I’m sorry about your mother Lou, I didn’t know” Kyle says quiet enough for only me to hear when he pulls me in for a hug. I smile up at him and accept the hugs from Amber and Cat just the same.
                  “Umm Kyle, you remember Chris?” I ask turning to the two men who know each other but never really spoke to each other.
                  “Yes, of course” he smiles at him shaking his hand.
                  “And this is Amber, Kyle’s Fiancée” I smile at Amber as I introduce her to my boyfriend. Kyle truly has done well, Amber is kind, sweet and gorgeous, I don’t think there is a bad bone in her body.
                  “Pleasure” she smiles at Chris “Louise has told me a lot about you” I frown at her lie but then immediately feel bad because when we met and she was gushing about her fiancé I never once mentioned that I was with someone. Kyle notices me frowning at his fiancée so I quickly smooth my expression into smile. When Tom pulls Chris into a conversation I lean over to whisper into Amber’s ear.
                  “Thank you, I can’t believe I never mentioned him once, I feel so bad!”
                  “Don’t worry about it, you probably couldn’t have gotten in a word edge ways” she whispers back.
                  I notice Kyle frowning at us but Amber winks at me so I turn my attention to Cat who gestures for me to follow her.
                  We stop at the bar and she orders two shots and
