Amber's POV:

The organ started to ring through the church as I walked Lilli down the aisle. She sprinkled her flower peadles along the fuzzy, red carpet leading to Finn. Hunching over made my back hurt, but I didn't want to awkwardly walk behind her. Once the carpet ended, we took our place next to where Grace was about to stand.

Gill, Bri, Ali, and Eleanor followed behind me and Lilli. Once we all were lined up, everyone in the room stood up to welcome the bride. Grace floated in with her beautiful wedding dress; her Dad held onto her arm tightly. I was assuming he didn't want to let his little girl go.

I flipped my curls around my face to look into Finn's eyes; they lit up when he saw her and that melted my heart. Her Dad gave her away to Finn, leaving just a kiss behind on his old daughter. Grace tossed her bouquet at me before facing Finn. I saw him mouth something to her. "You are take my breath away." My turned my head to glance at the crowd of people; my eyes locked gazes with Niall sitting in the front row.

His lips curled up into a bashful smile as I batted my long eyelashes at him. What was this feeling inside of me? I couldn't be falling in love with him again, was I? I blew off the idea and played with Lilli's curls.

"And I now pronounce you," The preist raised his hands and stared into the eyes of my dearest friends. "Husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Finn ran his fingers over her cheek bone and laid his lips on hers; it was a kiss she'd never forget.

We trailed out of the church, Grace and Finn being last to leave of course, and blew bubbles at them. Rice was traditional, but rice hurts and it's messy, so she went with bubbles. We all piled into our cars and followed Grace and Finn's limo to the hotel where the reception was being held.

The banquet room was decorated beautifully to the theme of the wedding. They hired a wonderful DJ that introduced their party nicely, "And finally, may I introduce to you, for the first time ever, Mr. and Mrs. Finn Harries!" Their families and friends roared and I've never seen Grace more happy.

The rest of the night was like any other wedding I've ever been to. The food was great, the dancing was so much fun, and I got to hang out with my friends. When Grace tossed her bouquet, somewho, I caught it. I smiled down at the bunch of roses as the DJ had Finn throw Grace's garter. He slid it off of her leg, seductively, and tossed it to the men of the party.

"Congrats to the lucky man! And what's your name, son?" I was still lost in how pretty her roses were; the pinks, whites, and baby's breath clashed so perfectly inside of a tighty, thick ribbon.

"Niall," My face shot up as soon as I heard his voice; I almost gave myself whiplash. I felt my face blush and his was already bright red.

"And your name is, sweetheart?" He poked the microphone in my face as I stared into Niall's sparkling blue eyes. My mouth was wide open, but no words fell out of it.

"Amber," Niall spoke to the DJ as he went to grab my hand, the garter still lace in his fingers. "Her name is Amber." His eyes never left my stare.

"Okay, well, by the looks of it, I take it you two know each other?" The DJ asked as he led us to the middle of the dance floor. Everyone in the room laughed, while I was seated in a chair, mortified. Niall mumbled his answer as he stood next to me. "Well then, Niall, you have to now put that garter back onto Amber's leg, okay?"

"Let's do this!" I heard the tiny bit of alcohol in his voice and just laughed it off. Niall got down on his knees to be at my level. He undid the straps of my heels, and slipped them off. The lace garter stretched open wide around my leg as he slid it up; I gripped the chair and bit my lip, nonchalantly of course, at his touch. When the garter was in place he looked me in the eye, smiled, then stood up.

"Okay, can you guys do me a favor?" The DJ asked the wedding party. "Can you all boo Niall for me? That was terrible, man!" The crowd did as they were told and the DJ requested that Niall remove the garter and do it again. "Only this time, pull it up with your teeth." He winked at me and I felt all of the blood rush out of my face.

Niall's smile struck my eyes again as the garter was hanging from his mouth. "You ready?" He mumbled throught the fabric. I pintched my eyes shut as he began to slide the garter up my leg for a second time. He drug his lips against my cleanly, shave legs and I can't explain how good that felt. They left wet lines running up my leg, sending chills up my spine as he breathed on them. It felt like forever, but he did it quickly.

"Awesome! Can we get a big round of aplause for Amber and Niall everybody?" Well, that was the best entertainment of the party. They announced that they would be playing a slow song next and Niall asked if he could steal it.

"I don't, uh," My eyes scanned the floor for Liam and Lilli; I found them dancing with our friends on the other side of the dance floor. I sighed and let out a short, "I guess so." I felt my eyes lit up as he guided me out to the floor.

"I'm sorry about that," He pressed me tight to his body and I've never felt more alive. In that moment, I was that seventeen year old girl again and I think I'd do anything to get her life back.

"No, it's fine. It was all fun and games," I paused and searched for that silent answer in his eyes. "Right?" I stuttered.

"Of course, Love." I knew that ment no, but he pulled me in closer, shoving my head on his shoulder. I burried my emotions deep inside of me, but all I wanted to do was let them out. I knew I couldn't get what I wanted without hurting many people, but was this what I really wanted? I blew the questions out of my mind and pressed my lips to Niall's neck.
