Carly's P.O.V

Harry wasn't just smiling at me though, his eyes kept darting to about three rows back. I couldn't see who it was though, because I was too short and there was many heads staring this way, so I just had to relax and trust it isn't a new secret lover; but that's all what was going through my head...

I focused my attention on the vows being spoken by Anne and Robin, they looked so happy and genuinely in love, these are apart of my relationship goals. 

"You may now kiss the bride!" The vicar cheered, as did everyone else sat either side of the isle as they passionately kissed, I couldn't help but notice Harry and Gemma both awkwardly look at each other and laugh, which made me giggle too. 

"What are you laughing at cheeky?" Ashton put his hand around my waste. 

"Don't you think it's awkward to kiss in front of around 50 people?" I blush, looking up at him smirking down at me, his hazel eyes glittering through the brightness of the sunlight. 

"No..." He grabs hold of my cheeks with his firm hands and presses his plump lips against mine, I obviously kissed back but there was a pang in my heart that felt sorry for Harry... I pulled away and smiled widely at him still looking at him dead in the eyes, it wasn't until I pulled away from the gaze that I noticed everyone was staring at us with huge smiles placed on their faces. 

"Ashton" I push my face into his chest from the embarrassment, as he begins to giggle in my ear. 

"C'mon babe, we have to make our way to the next venue" He grabs my hand, pulling me to join the crowd of people walking out of the church doors. 

...

"Champagne?" The waiter asks as everyone's waiting for the food to be served, I peer around at my parents and jump in at the chance. 

"Yes please!" I smile, Ashton watching me carefully. 

"How old are you ma'am?" Ashton nudges me as I begin to sip heaven. 

"18 for today" I joke, making him chuckle even more. "I need to go to the ladies room, I will be back in a minuet!" 

I rise from my chair and quickly make my way around the tables towards the ladies toilet door. The venue was a huge white marquee covered in fairy lights and white flowers, it was a little cold but luckily there was a small restaurant and bar building that latches on to the side. Just as I was opening the door I felt a hand grab the lower part of my back, I turned around to find Harry stood over me. 

"Harry?" I asked alarmed. 

"Why is she here? How does Mum even know about her?" He demands whilst grabbing my hand and pulling me through the building towards the doors. As soon as the door opened a blast of frozen wind hit my face. 

"Harry, I'm freezing..." He could feel the cold as well, but proceeded to take off his blazer and wrap it around my petite body. "You didn't have to you know? I was aiming for us not to go outside" I blushed. 

"Shut up, I can do what I want for the girl I love" He smiled widely, his bright eyes still focusing on me. "Anyway... You told my mum didn't you?" 

"I had too! They kept asking who was the girl you were heartbroken over! I couldn't say me, could I?" I explained as briefly as I could, as I still felt like ice even with Harry's romantic gesture. "I need to go back, Ashton will start looking..." 

"Ashton..." He rolled his eyes with frustration. 

"I can't just leave him for my ex teacher, my parents friends son and my 'babysitter'!" I emphasized.
