Samie:

A few days after Leslie and Drew arrived in London, the wedding party met in the Horan game room to hang out before the big day. After a few hours of watching some football match I yawned and looked over at Leslie. "I'm getting pretty tired so I'll see you at the final fitting tomorrow?"

"Yep, 2 o'clock sharp. I was actually thinking that we could all get lunch beforehand and catch up though." I heard Kiersten say from somewhere on the other side of the couch filled room.

"Sounds good, piece of wood. Text me with the time and place." I replied as I grabbed Harry's hand, pulling him up from the floor.

"Will do cheese fondue." She responded while giggling to herself.

We got back to our flat and I immediately changed into one of Harry's V-necks and my favorite sweatpants.

"Not that I don't like it, but babe why do your pants say that you have a nice butt?" Harry asked with an adorably serious expression on his face. I ruffled his hair and explained that they were from my senior year of golf and they actually said nice putt. He flirtatiously smacked my behind and I plopped down on the couch, pulling him on top of me. Harry pressed the play button on the DVD remote and the commercials before Catching Fire started playing. I kissed him on the cheek before nuzzling into his shoulder while he started tracing circles on my back, making me fall asleep in a matter of minutes. I woke up to the menu music and carefully reached for the remote so I didn't wake Harry up. But being as graceful as a newborn horse, my arm missed the table and I fell off the couch, knocking us both on the ground.

"Hello to you too, beautiful" Harry mumbled sleepily, planting a kiss on the top of my head.

"I'm sorry baby, I'll kiss it and make it better" I winked as I left a trail of kisses from his mouth to the waistband of his black Calvin Kleins.

"You, are coming with me," he growled while picking me up bridal style and carrying me into our spacious master bedroom.

The next day I woke up early and went on a jog before stopping at a little corner coffee shop near our flat to get my usual chai tea and a coffee for Harry. I walked into the living room and saw Zayn and Harry talking while Xara played on the floor.

"Here you go babe," I said while handing Harry his coffee. "Hey Zayn what's up?" I asked, picking Xara up and giving her a hug.

"I was just in the middle of asking your fiancé here if you two would possibly babysit until late tonight. I know it's last minute but-"

"It's no problem lad, we'd be happy to." Harry said cutting Zayn off.

"We absolutely love Xara. " I assured "But I need to shower before lunch with the girls so I'll see you later Zayn."

I showered, did my hair and makeup, and changed into a cute summery dress in record time and actually made it to the restaurant before everyone else.

I was only waiting a few minutes before Kiersten arrived with Leslie and Kali walking in behind her, and Bob keeping his distance behind them.

"Dani texted me and she, Perrie, and El should be here any minute now," Kiersten informed us as they took their seats. After Perrie, Eleanor, and Danielle sat down we immediately started talking about last minute details and everybody asked Kiersten if there was anything she needed done. She wasn't acting stressed but we knew that she was definitely a little overwhelmed with planning an elaborate wedding in such little time.

"You guys can really stop worrying about me. Everything is done; I just want us all to enjoy this. Please, no more wedding talk until we fly out tomorrow." Kiersten begged.

"We're sorry; we just want you to know that we're here for you. But we'll take a break, promise. Right guys?" Kali asked, looking around at everyone.

"We're completely done. So.... let's eat!" Eleanor joked, making everyone laugh as we dug into our food.

"Hey Kier, can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked as everyone was finishing the delicious meal.

"Sure," she questioned as we walked to the hallway leading to the bathrooms. "Something wrong?"

"I just need one of our Kier-Bear, Spam Slammer talks. Like old times?" I replied as I leaned on the wall.

"And you're sure you're okay?" she probed.

"It's Harry... I know I mean everything to him and I love him unconditionally and nothing is actually wrong... But everyone's jokes about us having sex all the time is just starting to get old. They're making it seem like that's all we do and honestly, it happens a lot but not fifty times a day or anything. I mean, it's probably more than most people but... " I rambled until Kiersten picked a mint out of the little bowl on the table and threw it at me.

"Stop. You're going to be fine. Talk to him; trust me, he'll want to hear what you have to say. As for the rest of the group, next time someone makes a comment about it just tell them how you feel," she insisted.

"Thank you. I love you. You know how I get when people make fun of me," I admitted. "Now let's get to that appointment so we're at least close to being on time."

We hugged and made our way back to the table to find Bob standing there waiting for us. "Ready to go ladies?" he asked, turning to face everybody that was seated at the table.

We arrived at the shop and the girls and I were all brought to the changing rooms to assure that our dresses fit like a glove, while Kiersten waited in a leather armchair. For such an anticipated event, everything needed to be perfect. Since nobody's dresses needed alterations we took them with us and decided to go glow bowling at near-by bowling alley. "I should probably tell you that I'm really awful at bowling," Perrie announced as we were putting our shoes on.

"You'll catch on quick, don't worry," Kiersten responded.

Danielle added, "Yeah, I'm sure you can't be any worse than El over here"

"Hey, I'm not that horrible! Am I?" she complained as mock concern crossed her face.

"Oh, no. Of course not." I told her while shaking my head at the other girls.

Just as Eleanor opened her mouth to reply with a witty retort, Leslie pulled a bottle of champagne out of her purse half shouted, "I thought this was a celebration!" from the other side of the nearly empty room. She poured us each a glass of the bubbly drink as Kali spoke up to make a toast. "Cheers to the soon-to-be Mrs. Horan and cheers to us all leaving for Italy tomorrow!" We all cheered and took a sip of our drinks before starting the game. In the middle of the ninth frame my phone buzzed with a text.

Harry:

Babe don't forget we're watching Xara tonight. See you soon xx

The game finished with Kiersten beating everyone by at least 40 points, and the rest of our scores so low that we vowed to pretend it never happened. "I'll see you at the airport tomorrow morning. Bye everyone!" I called as I got into my car.

I arrived back at our flat to find Harry playing with Xara. "Hey boo, how was your day?" I asked.

"Good. I missed you though," he said, planting a kiss on my cheek.

I returned the kiss and turned to Xara. "What do you want for dinner Tootie? Should we make some grilled cheese?"

She yelled "Cheese cheese! Yum!"

Harry and I chuckled and he replied, "Grilled cheese it is then!"

We made Xara dinner and watched The Wonder Pets with her until it was bedtime. I put her pajamas on while Harry and I sang to her until she fell sleep. With my years of babysitting experience I was surprised at how easily she fell asleep; most kids whined about sleeping but she was such a blessing.

"I'm absolutely exhausted honey. Do you mind if I sleep until Zayn picks Xara up?" I asked, giving Harry my best puppy-dog eyes.

"Go right ahead babe. I'll stay up and listen for Zayn, yeah?" he whispered as he kissed my forehead. I curled up next to him on the couch and rested my head on his shoulder; within minutes I was passed out.

The next thing I knew I was waking up in our bed and it was almost time to leave for the airport. "Harry! We need to pack and leave in the next fifteen minutes" I shouted across our massive flat.

"Already done my love. Our bags are by the door and ready to go," he explained, coming up behind me and wrapping me in a hug.

"Mmm. You are absolutely perfect" I murmered, turning around and pecking him on the lips. "I love you. So much."

"And I love you more than anything," he smiled. "Now let's get to the airport, seeing as you're notoriously late to everythi-"

I cut him off with a kiss and the rest of his sentence came out jumbled and inaudible. "While I may be occasionally late, I am capable of being on time every once in a while," I joked as I playfully pushed on his chest. "But I guess we can get going, if you insist."

"I'd love nothing more than to see two of our best friends finally get married," he replied as we walked out the door.

Within the next two hours we were on the plane to Italy with Niall, Kiersten, Drew, Leslie, Zayn, Xara, Perrie, Danielle, Liam, Elise, Louis, Eleanor, Claire, Kali, Greg, and Sean. We were arriving almost an entire two days before the day of the wedding and we were all excited to take in the sights and eat some of the decadent food that Italy is known for. Kiersten would soon be Mrs. Horan and my best friend would be happily married to the man of her dreams.
