11 August 

                          
It's the day before our wedding and the nerves have really kicked in. The wedding is going to be small, only my parents and sisters, and his parents and brother. Obviously we have the boys here as well. Louis managed to talk his way into planning it and here we all are in Bora Bora. Each of us have our own private cabanas on the beach that Louis somehow managed to reserve for us. I walked into our room and found him sitting by the window, staring out the window with his guitar in hand. I watched him play with his ring, rotating it every once in a while. I walked up being him and wrapped my arms around him. 
"Hey, Li," he sighed, reaching his hand up and squeezing my arm. 
"You feeling okay?" I asked and laid my head on his shoulder. 
"Never better," he said. 
"You sure about this?" I asked. 
"Liam, do you really think I would have been engaged to you this whole time and dragged you down here just to say I'm not sure about this?" He chuckled then shook his head, "I'm more than sure about this." I grinned and nodded. 
"Are you sure about it?" He asked, shifting to face me. I took a deep breath and nodded. And I am sure. 100%.
"Yes," I said and received a peck on the cheek from him. 
"Positive?" He asked. 
"Yes, Niall," I repeated and grinned. He smiled and hugged me. 
"I'm not gonna lie, Li, I'm kinda scared," he murmured. I nodded and pressed my lips to his neck. 
"What are you scared of?" I asked softly. 
"Scared of fucking up tomorrow," he chuckled, "falling, saying the wrong thing, that kind of stuff." 
"Knowing you, you probably will," I laughed and he shoved me. 
"Shut up," he shook his head. 
"Okay, love birds, we all wanted to eat some dinner with you two. You coming?" Louis asked, barging into our room and startling me. 
"Damn it, Lou, didn't we confiscate the key you stole from us?" I asked and pulled away from Niall slightly. 
"I got one made," he shrugged. 
"How did- where- never mind. And where are we eating?" Niall asked.
"We set everything up outside," he answered. 
"Okay," I nodded. 
"See you out there," he said and started to leave. 
"Nope, Lou, hand it over," I said and held out my hand for the key. 
"Fuck," he muttered and reluctantly gave the key to me. 
"Thank you," I grinned. I stood up and pulled Niall up as well. Louis left us to get ready and meet everyone outside, which wasn't a good idea. 
"I'd rather just kiss you all night instead of going out there, Li," Niall mumbled and yanked on a shirt. 
"Cute, Niall," I chuckled. He turned towards me and pulled me in for a kiss. He quickly deepened the kiss, running his hands through my hair and tugging on it. I couldn't help but chuckle into the kiss. 
"Babe, come on before one of them come looking for us," I said and placed my hands on his chest to push him away softly. 
"Two more minutes?" He mumbled. 
"So much can happen in those two minutes, Niall, and I'm not about to have one of our parents traumatized by  us if they walk in on us," I chuckled and shook my head. He laughed and nodded, quickly pecking my lips before slipping his hand into mine. We walked outside onto the beach and were greeted by both our families and the guys. They were all seated around a table which was filled with food. 
"This is so intense," Niall muttered under his breath to me before sitting down. I snickered and took the only open seat, which was thankfully next to Niall. 
"Don't look now but Harry has sauce on his face," Niall whispered to me and chuckled. I discreetly glanced at Harry to indeed find sauce all around his mouth. Both Niall and I started laughing, getting stares from everyone at the table. We act so juvenile sometimes, I'm surprised everyone still puts up with us. I grinned at Louis when he chuckled at Harry and handed him a napkin to wipe his face with. 
"Rude," Harry said, embarrassed. I winked at him and continued eating. 
"Hurry up and eat, Li, I wanna make out with you," Niall whispered in my ear while leaning over to me. I snickered and shook my head. I stared at my food until I felt all eyes on me. I looked up and saw everyone staring and both Niall and I. It's probably the most terrifying thing. 
"Are we missing something?" I asked. 
"No, you guys are just cute," Niall's mum said. I chuckled and smirked at Niall. If only they knew. 
"We're adorable," Niall grinned, throwing his arm around my shoulders. I rolled my eyes and cringed at his messy eating. 
"Come here, you idiot," I said and wiped the corner of his mouth with my thumb. I licked off the sauce from my finger and discreetly winked at him. 
"Delicious," I said, "and really, this is all amazing. You guys seriously didn't have to," I added. 
"Don't thank us, this was all Louis," my mum said. I raised my eyebrow at Louis and he shrugged. 
"I like you guys," he said. I smiled at him and thanked him. I finished off my plate, full and satisfied with the meal. I glanced at Niall and rolled my eyes once again when I saw his messy eating. 
"He never learns, does he?" His dad asked and chuckled. 
"Guess not," I sighed and smirked at Niall. 
"Shut up, Li," Niall shoved me. He wiped his face and sat back from the table. I giggled and lightly placed my hand on his thigh. I watched everyone at the table, talking and laughing. I glanced at my mum and gestured to talk to her alone. She nodded and we both stood up from the table. I kissed the top of Niall's head quickly before walking along the sand by the water with my mum. 
"How are you feeling?" She asked. 
"Such a mediocre question," I chuckled, "but I'm doing great. I'm ecstatic." 
"Are you ready for this, Liam?" She asked for what seems like the hundredth time. 
"I am, mum," I assured her. 
"You grew up way too fast," she said and I chuckled. 
"I know. I'm getting married, mum," I said, still in disbelief. She took a deep breath and nodded. I raised my eyebrow at her and questioned her. 
"What is it, mum?" I asked. 
"You're getting married, Li. My only son is getting married," she said and I laughed. 
"Don't cry, mum, you're gonna make me cry," I said and lightly pushed her. 
"Sorry, love, you're just the first to get married and it's just insane," she chuckled. 
"Come on, let's get back before your tears flood this resort," I laughed and she lightly slapped my arm. We laughed and made jokes the whole way back. I found Niall standing at a tiki torch, talking to his brother. I grinned and kissed my mom on the cheek. I made my way over to Niall and wrapped my arms around him from behind. He chuckled into his sentence and reached his hand up to grip my arm. 
"Hey, Liam," Niall giggled. 
"Niall," I chuckled, "hey Greg," I added. 
"Hey, Liam," he smiled, "I'll leave you two to do whatever you two do." Niall turned around to face me, both snickering and blushing. 
"Why does everyone have that same reaction to us?" He asked and placed his hands on my hips. 
"No idea, love," I laughed, "now do you wanna make out?"
"When don't I wanna make out?" He grinned, "but not right now while everyone is pretending not to stare at us." I giggled and kissed his cheek.  
"You know, I never got to ask you; how was your bachelor party?" He asked and played with my hair softly. 
"It was insane, given Louis was the instigator," I chuckled, "how was yours?" 
"Fucking crazy," he said. 
"So I was thinking that me and you should go somewhere alone after tomorrow," I said slowly. 
"Oh really?" He smirked. 
"Yes," I nodded. 
"Where?" He asked. 
"That's a surprise, love," I grinned, deciding not to tell him about our honeymoon trip to Hawaii. 
"Liam," he whined. 
"Sorry, babe," I grinned.
"Li, come on," he said and shook my shoulders. 
"I'll tell you on the way there," I shrugged and pecked his cheek, "now I'm going to go talk to Lou about last minute things, I'll be back." 
"I'll figure it out, Li, I have my ways," he said as I turned away from him. 
"Whatever, Niall," I chuckled and walked towards Louis who was standing by the water and on his phone. 
"Lou," I tapped his shoulder. 
"What's up, Li?" He asked and turned around. 
"I just want to know that you have everything under control," I said slowly. 
"I got this Payno, don't worry about anything. It's your big day tomorrow, you shouldn't worry about anything," he said, "and did you get the pictures I sent you from the party?" 
"Um, haven't checked my phone in a while but I will now," I said and reached into my pocket for my phone. Not finding it, I groaned and patted around my pockets for it. 
"Damn it," I muttered and turned around to see Niall scrolling through my phone. 
"What is it?" Louis asked. 
"Niall took my phone and is looking for where I'm taking him for our honeymoon," I said and rolled my eyes. 
"Once he sees those pictures I sent you, he'll freak," Louis said and I looked at him sharply. 
"Okay they're not that bad, your party was just more insane than his. You're more insane than him," Louis chuckled.  
"Shut up," I groaned and trudged over to Niall and grabbed my phone from his hands. 
"That's real clever, Niall," I said and crossed my arms across my chest. 
"Hawaii, cute," he said and mirrored my actions. 
"You saw the pictures, didn't you?" I asked. 
"I didn't mean to, they just came up and I opened them on accident but you seem to have enjoyed yourself," he said and I chuckled. 
"It was entertaining, but coming home to you was even better, if you know what I mean," I winked and he laughed. 
"Yeah but seriously, Hawaii?" He asked. 
"Yes, are you okay with that?" I asked. 
"Yes, Li, a hundred times yes," he nodded and hugged me eagerly. I wrapped my arms around him and giggled into his shoulder. 
"That's crazy, I was actually going to ask you about where we should go and that was one of my first choice," he said once he let go of me. I smiled and kissed him softy. 
"By the way, you should stop leaving things open on your phone if you're trying to hide something," he said against my lips and giggled. 
"Shut up," I said and received a kiss on the cheek from him. 
"C'mon, love, let's go socialize," he chuckled and slipped his hand into mine before dragging me over to Louis, Harry, and Zayn. 
"By the way, you two have to be up early tomorrow because we are taking you two to get ready," Louis informed. 
"H and I get you, Li, and Zayn you get Niall," Louis said. 
"Question, why does he get both of you?" Niall asked. 
"He's harder to deal with," Louis said and I shoved him and scoffed. 
"Am not," I muttered. 
"You kinda are," Niall said, making me roll my eyes. 
"Shut up, Niall. And I'm fine with it, guys," I chuckled, "I think I'm going to head to bed now." 
"Okay, goodnight, Li," they said simultaneously. 
"I'm going too," Niall said and gripped my waist. 
"Night, guys," I smiled and walked towards our cabana while bidding everyone else a good night. 
"Li," Niall said as we walked into our room. 
"Yeah?" I asked while taking off my shirt. 
"Come here," he said. I turned around to see him laying on the bed naked. I smirked and locked the door for good measure. 
"Ni, you know that they'll do anything to get in here and you being naked will make the process even worse," I said and climbed into bed next to him. 
"Do you want me to put clothes on?" He asked. 
"Not really," I decided. 
"I love you, Liam," he laughed. I grinned and kissed his cheek. 
"I love you, too," I said and laid my head on his chest. 
"Wait, Li, I did not just get completely naked to have you just lay here," he said. I chuckled and lifted my head to kiss him softly. He smirked against my lips and deepened the kiss. I lightly and teasingly dragged my nails up and down his stomach. 
"Liam," he murmured. I grinned and pulled away. 
"Yes, love?" I asked. 
"I can't wait to be married to you," he said and ran his hand through my hair. I smiled widely and nodded, "I can't wait either." 
"Who would've thought that we'd end up here?" He sighed and sat back against the headboard. I chuckled and mirrored his position. 
"I'm glad we did," I said, slipping my hand into his. He nodded and rested his head on my shoulder. 
"You okay, love?" I asked and let go of his hand to wrap my arm around his shoulders. 
"Yeah, just a little tired. Can you kiss me, please?" He murmured. 
"Yeah. Come here, Ni," I grinned and softly pressed my lips to his. I slowly pushed him down onto the bed and pressed light kisses across his cheek. I made sure not to mark him up for tomorrow. I kissed his neck lightly, never staying in one spot for too long. 
"Thank you, babe," he sighed, playing with my hair and scratching my back. I smiled against his skin and nodded. 
"We should get some sleep," I said and pulled away from him. 
"I'm going to put boxers on for when they barge into our room in the morning," he chuckled and quickly put some on. 
"Good idea," I grinned. 
"Goodnight, babe, I love you," he smiled and kissed me before cuddling into my side. 
"I love you, too," I said and kissed the top of his head.
