You're Still The One

Chapter 20-Right Timing

(Harry's POV)

We began to all gather in the main hall that led outside to the garden. I was talking to Louis and Zayn when the girls started entering the room. Automatically my eyes searched for Valerie. I saw her walking down the stairs with a large bouquet of flowers in one hand and he small bouquet in the other hand. "Excuse me boys." I said walking towards her. Before I could walk away, Zayn grabbed my arm. I turned to look at him. "You're not gunna do it now are you?" He asked. I smiled, shaking my head. "No I'm not. I already told you guys that I'm going to ask her at the reception." I said walking over to Valerie. She smiled at me kissing cheek. "How are you?" I asked. She shrugged. I could see the bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. "Could be better. It'll be a wonderful wedding though." Valerie said with a smile. At that moment, Rebecca came walking down the stairs. She looked absolutely stunning and radiant. Everyone looked up at Rebecca with a huge smile. "Hi Harry." She said once she was at the bottom of the steps. "Hi Rebecca. Are you ready for this?" I asked. She nodded happily. Valerie handed the larger bouquet to Rebecca. She took it and walked to stand next to her father. "She looks so happy." Valerie said with a sigh. I nodded, looking at Valerie. "Would you want that one day?" I asked her. She looked up at me, a little surprised. "Yeah. I probably would want that someday in the future." She said.

I nodded looking back at everyone else. "Come on. It's almost time." Valerie said taking my hand. We lined up in order. Valerie and Niall were next to each other in very front, followed by Scott and Willow, his girlfriend, then Perrie and Zayn, Liam and Danielle, Eleanor and Louis, and finally Sarah and myself. Rebecca and her father were right behind us. "Ready?" Mr Mejia asked his daughter. "Yes." Rebecca whispered. The music started and everyone began the slow walk down the aisle. Just a few more hours then I can propose to Valerie.

(Rebecca's POV)

The whole ceremony went wonderfully and magically. Thomas cried, which made my cry, which in turn made everyone else cry. Once I was finally able to say "I do", my whole world became better. I could finally call Thomas my husband forever and always. Now it was just time for Harry to propose then Valerie could call him forever hers. I smiled at the thought. "What's so funny, my lovely beautiful wife?" Thomas asked kissing my cheek. I smiled at him. "Nothing. I'm just thinking about when Harry proposes tonight." I said. We were sitting in the upstairs, waiting for the reception to begin. We had a few hours to relax before we had to go down to the rest of our family and friends. So far we have been sitting and enjoying our first moments as husband and wife. "I'm sure she'll say yes." Thomas said kissing my cheek again. "I think it's almost time for us to go downstairs." I said, blushing. For the past two hours he had been kissing my cheek every time he said something. He sighed and stood up. I was about to stand up with him but instead he scooped me up bridal style. "Thomas! What are you doing?" I giggled. He began to walk down the stairs still carrying me. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm carrying my bride down for everyone to see." Thomas said with a laugh.

"That's for later when we enter our home." I giggled. He continued to carry me down the stairs and out to the garden where everyone was seated, waiting for us to arrive. When we entered the garden, everyone stood up and clapped for us. We took our seats at the long table in front of the dance floor. "I think we should rent this place again for Valerie's wedding." I whispered to Thomas. "Unless they get married in London." He whispered back. "Rebecca? Can I talk to you?" Harry said from behind me. I took one look at his face and knew what it was about. I stood up and followed him to the outer parts of the garden. "I don't know if Valerie will say yes." He admitted looking down at his shiny shoes. "Of course she will." I said. Harry shook his head and looked up at me. "She hasn't even admitted she loves me." He whispered. I shook my head and sighed. "And that's going to stop you? Harry you're and idiot if you think he doesn't love you. Once you propose to her she will admit it and she will say yes." I said shaking Harry's shoulders. He smirked. "How do you know?" He asked. I shook him a little more. "Because I'm her best friend and I know her well enough to know that she will say yes." I said letting him go.

He nodded his head slowly. "Now go in there and act natural. And when the time comes, you propose!" I said turning him towards the garden. He looked back at me. "And when is the right time?" He asked cheekily. I sighed pushing him. "When it's time for the speeches."
