The Wedding// Simon MinterxReader

Chapter 3

~The next morning~

I sit up in my bed and stretch my aching muscles. Geez, I sound so old. When I open my eyes, it takes me a minute to realize my surroundings. Yep, wasn't a dream. I dash out of bed and barge into (Bff/N)'s room. "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! First day in London! " I yell while jumping on her each time. She groans and kicks at me until I quit jumping. "Okay, yea I'm awake. What do you want?" I smile at her grumpiness, "Welp, I wanted to go to an amazing restaurant I heard about. And... Did I mention they have... Food?" She sits up and pushes me off her starting to get herself ready. Every Time. (Does that look like it's spelled wrong or is it just me?😂) With that, I start to get ready.

~Le time skip through the cab ride and to the mystical... Nandos!!~

We arrive at a slightly crowded Nandos, an apparently popular restaurant. (I have never been there..yet, so sorry if I get it wrong) We find some seats and tell the waiter want we want. Our plates arrive and I can already tell it's going to be really good. Once our plates are laid down, we dig in. To be honest it is the best meal I've ever had since forever. The minute I actually finish, it hits me that this might be my new favorite restaurant. When we're both finished and ready to go, we ask to get our drinks to go. As we get our drinks, my phone buzzes. A text from my mom. I head towards the entrance trying to text my mom back when I hear, "Shit." And I feel the cold, wet drink pour onto my clothes. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I sputter, still dabbing my top with the nearest napkin I could find.

//Simon's POV//

I hand the money to the cashier and grab my drink. "Keep the change." Since the boys refused to come with me, I decided to get my food to go. My phone goes off and I grab it from my pocket. Another tweet. I quickly put it back in my pocket trying to balance all my junk and I bump into someone. "Shit." I look up and see the top of a (H/C) haired girl. Her drink was now all over her shirt. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." She sputters out still looking down. Her voice sounds so familiar. I pull off my SDMN hoodie the same time she looks up. "(Y/N)?" She stares into my eyes. "Simon!" God, she's still gorgeous. I pull my hoodie over her head. She smiles. "What are you doing here?" I question. She smirks. "Hi to you too Si. Yea, I just moved here. I thought you were still in Manchester." Si. I realize I'm staring and quickly look away, rubbing my neck. "Nah, I moved in with a few of my lads. You look great." Her face reddens. "You too. If you don't mind, I'm still freezing even with the hoodie. Thanks by the way." She slowly starts to be pulled by the arm by (Bff/N). Who I recall doesn't like me much. "It was just an accident, I'd better get home." I grab her arm. "The least I could do is take you home and get you some dry clothes. (Bff/N) lets go of (Y/N) and she smiles. "Simon, you really don't have t-" I cut her off. "Come on. I want to, especially since I haven't seen you in so long." Her smile widens and she turns to her friend. "Mind if I steal her for a few?" (Bff/N) glares at me and mutters, "Sure, I'll just go alone to the apartment. Alone." (Y/N) laughs. I fucking love that laugh. "Thank you."

//Your POV//

Simon leads me to his car and opens the door for me. I never thought I would ever see him again. "What a gentleman." He laughs. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity." I giggle. He gets in the car and we start off. "So, this is how you pick girls up now. Spill their drinks on them and then take them home." I hear him chuckle. "Nope this is definitely a first, but I really need to start doing this." I playfully slap his arm. "Oi! No need for violence." We laugh and he continues to ask questions about my life. Soon, we end up taking turns telling each other who has happened in our lives so far. As we started getting closer to his house, things started to look familiar. That's when I spotted my house and he parked in the house right next door. "Oh wow." Simon looked at me curiously. "It's just that, I live right next to you." He turned and looked at the house. "That's nice to know. And I'm guessing you stay in the room with the balcony. Hmm." He says mischievously. I slowly nod my head. "What a creep." I guess he still remembers that I love balconies. He laughs and opens his door. We head out and he stops me at the door. "The lads are quite..how do I put this? Rowdy, idiotic, perverted, awkward, the list goes on." Reminds me of him. "Sounds like my kind of people." He smirks and unlocks the door. "You're home!" I hear someone yell and the door opens up to a tall, African American. (No not racist, just didn't know how to put it. XD) "Wow, hello beautiful." I blush a little. "Oi, Jj piss off. She's with me." I blush harder. With him. Nope don't overthink it. "Simon pullin'! Bout time!" By this time, we were both red. "Let me just introduce you to the rest of the guys. Don't worry they aren't as bad as him." Simon said nervously. I then met Josh, Vikk, Ethan, Toby, and Harry. They were all so funny and all of them made me feel right at home. Jj made me laugh like crazy. Josh was the one who was apparently 'daddy af '. Vikk was like a little brother, so innocent. Ethan's laugh was contagious. Toby seemed like a really nice guy. Harry was awkward, but seemed cool. We talked for awhile and Simon excused us due to the accident that happened earlier. Simon showed me up to his room and he gave me some joggers and an another SDMN shirt. "Sidemen ay?" He turned around so I could change and he responded, "Yea, we started awhile ago and we got big so, yea. Plus we have a lot of fun, especially with the fans. " I took off his hoodie off and changed into his shirt and joggers, putting on his hoodie back on as well. "I'm done. " Simon turns around and a smirk comes across his lips. "What is it Minter?" He shakes his head. "It's just you look good in my clothes. " I scoff same old awkward, cocky Simon Minter.
