Lauren's POV

My wedding dress appointment was amazing, the dress maker is a genius. I showed her the pictures of dresses I liked and we looked at different fabrics and then she sketched what she's going to make for me and it is beyond stunning. I'm literally bursting with excitement to see it and try it on next week.

I met Lottie afterwards at Debenhams where we bought the bridesmaids dresses. They're light blue and strapless with sparkles on and they are exactly what I'd wanted after choosing the winter wonderland theme. Then we picked silver shoes to go with them and pretty silver necklace and earrings sets. It was actually really easy to get the bridesmaids sorted.

I also got my wedding shoes! I opted for white satin with diamanté detail. I got my wedding jewellery too. I opted for a really beautiful silver, diamanté and pearl tiara and a traditional pearl necklace with pearl earrings and a bracelet.

The florists appointment was really productive and surpridiny straightforward.  I picked a simple rose bouquet for myself in white with pale  blue diamonds in it and blue ribbon that matches the bridesmaids dresses and then a smaller version for the same bouquet for each of my bridesmaids. The mens button holes are also white roses with blue ribbon and our mums corsages match everything perfectly.

After feeling so down and negative this morning I feel much more positive now. I'm actually starting to enjoy planning this wedding!

Once home I hang thr bridesmaids dresses up in the wardrobe in the guest bedroom and send louis a photo of the colour so that he can get the suit accessories to match.

To my surprise he calls me. I'd expected he would be asleep given it will be early morning in Vegas.

"Hello babe I miss youuuuuu" I tell him as I answer excitedly.
"And I want to apologise for being stressed and cranky this morning but I've cheered up now and got loads of stuff sorted today and I'm feeling loads more positive. Do you like the colour I picked for the bridesmaids? And what are you doing up do early?" I ask 20 questions.

"I miss you too! And I got up early to go and get some stuff for the wedding done before the lads wake up and lead me astray, I'm taking my groom responsibilities seriously!
I'm knackered to be honest I've only had 3 hours sleep! And yes I love the colour that's exactly what I had in mind" he says as I hear him yawn.

It makes me giggle that he's actually doing wedding stuff from Vegas on his bachelor weekend when he's probably got the hangover from hell.

"You having fun?" I enquire, not entirely sure I want to know the answer.

"Yeh. We had a really good night last night. Harry won ten grand on roulette then Niall took us into an amazing Irish bar where we drank too much guinness and then went on a skyscraper rollercoater and to a club" he laughs.

"And you behaved?" I ask cringing.  I hate myself for asking but as much as I know I shouldn't be insecure, I can't help it. I'm female.

"Well I woke up fully clothed next to Liam so I'd say so yes, unless those lilo fanfictions are about to come true" he sighs sarcastically.

"Sorry. I just....worry....because so many girls like you and some of them are stunning and...." I start but he stops me.

"But I'm not interested in anyone else lauren I'm marrying you, you need to trust me" he reminds me.

I feel bad. I do trust him. I just get scared.

"Anyway what wedding things are you sorting out?" I ask, both because I'm intrigued and because I desperately need to change the subject.

"Well.... I've just bought your ring actually" he says as my heart skips a beat. He's bought my wedding ring. Holy shit.

"But I might take it back if you keep asking silly questions like if I've behaved" he says and I can just picture the sassy smirk on his face as he says it.

"Nooooooooo don't take it back if trust you. I really do. I promise" I say cringing.

"So, aside from doubting me what are you up to?" He asks with a giggle in his voice, now at least seeing the funny side to my paranoia. 

"I've just got in bed all tired out after a busy day shopping" I admit.

"What are you wearing?" He asks cheekily.

"Erm....kind of nothing....because I don't like pyjamas you know that I prefer to sleep naked" I remind him blushing.

"You're naked in my bed and I'm not there?" He asks.

"Yep" I giggle.

"That's just not fair" he says sounding tortured.

"Well, you will swan off to vegas, what's a gir to do?" I tease.

"Well, I've just got back to my room and we do have face time" he replies cheekily.

"No way!" I answer, shocked.

"Oh come on.... just a peek" he says, the naughtiness showing in his voice.

"No! I'm too shy!" I argue.

"I've seen it all before. I'm ending the call I'll ring you back on facetime" he says as the line goes dead.

Within moments a facetime call is requested. I answer.

"This was a bad idea" he says as our eyes meet on the screen.

"What? Now you're shy??" I ask.

"No. I can't look at you it's making me miss you you much" he says suddenly looking all sad.

"Awww babe" I reply looking into his eyes. He does look sad. So sad. It makes my heart ache. We've got to snap out of this or there are going you be tears and I refuse to cry and make him feel bad.

"Wanna see my boobs to cheer you up?" I ask giggling. His eyes light up. "Yeh. I think that might help" he smirks. 

I peel the bedcovers back slowly and flash him before covering myself back over.

"I can't fucking wait to marry you" he says now smiling.

Mission accomplished.
