Ashton pov: We had been out all day. Denise, mum, Perrie, Gemma and Anne. We’ve been to two stores. I tried on dress after dress and I was beginning to get mad. I came out in a mermaid dress with sequins. It was pretty, don’t get me wrong. But it wasn’t for me. “I don’t like the mermaid..” I sighed and went back. “Your appointment ends in twenty minutes.” The woman said and I nodded. Three more dresses and no luck. I came out in a sleeved dress that fitted tightly down to my ankles. Made my bum look great. It still isn’t it. I swore under my breath and charged back into the dressing room stripping myself from the dress. I changed back into my shorts and t shirt. The woman left the room and I broke down. I’ll never find the dress. I can’t do it. Screw it, I give up. I sobbed into my hands and didn’t notice everyone come in. “Aw, Ashie.” My mum pouted hugging me. “What’s got you all worked up?” She asked. “I’ll never find the right dress. None of them seem right. I feel like one of those bridezillas (love that show haha) who can’t be pleased. It’s just that none of them please me. I’m so stressed out over these plans and I can’t even find my dress.” I hit my hands on my thighs and stood up. “Let’s go..” I felt bad when everyone hugged me. “I’m sorry I’m making such a big deal of it…” I said and they smiled. “It’s your wedding dress! It’s suppose to be special. You cry happy tears when you find it. I promise, we can go back out tomorrow and we’ll find it. Takes patience.” Anne said smiling. I took a deep breath and nodded. They dropped me off at home and I slowly walked inside. I hope I don’t look I’m crying still. Harry will flip. “Ashtooon! Did you get it? How pretty is it?! I can’t wait!” Harry gushed running up to me. I wanted to cry all over again. Harry Styles just shut up. I looked down. “I haven’t found one yet…” I said quietly and tried to move past him. “Woah, have you been crying?” I nodded and took my shoes off. “I’m fine now.” I said sitting on the couch and pulling my hair up. “You don’t seem fine..” He said. As much as I wanted to tell him to just shut up I held back. “Because I can’t find a wedding dress. I’ll get it this week. Like your mum said, takes patience..” Harry smiled and held me in his arms. “Would you like me to pick it out for you?” He teased and I flicked his nose. “No way. You’re not allowed to see it until our wedding day.” He pretended to be offended. I smiled and kissed his cheek. “I can’t wait. This is so exciting.” Harry gushed and I smiled again. "Come on, keep the smile, let’s do something fun. He carried me up the steps and threw me on the bed. His hands curled against my sides and I knew there was no getting out of that. He tickled my sides and as much as I tried to hold my laughter in, I couldn’t. I was laughing like mad. Harry blew a raspberry on my stomach and I squirmed giggling. Harry kissed up my stomach then came up to my lips. My fingers tangled in his hair as our lips moved together. Harry pulled away for air and smiled. He rubbed his nose against mine and it was my turn to smile. “I love you.” I said brushing through his curls with my fingers. “I love you too.” He smiled and pecked my lips. “I just can’t wait to marry you.” He said. I smiled widely and nodded. “Me neither..” I cuddled into his side and he rubbed my back. “You need a nap?” He asked laughing. I nodded. Harry pov: Once I was sure Ashton was asleep I carefully got up and kissed her forehead. I took a shower and put pajamas on. The boys and their girlfriends were coming over later. Ashton knew but she was just too tired to care. An hour into making dinner Ashton came down in my shirt and no pants. “Hi, angel.” I said stirring the sauce. She wrapped her arms around me from behind. She was warm from sleep and I smiled. “Have a good nap?” I felt her nod against my back. “You know everyone will be getting here in the next half hour.” I said. “I know. I just had a bad dream and had to make sure you were here.” She laughed tiredly and began to walk toward the steps. “Aw, poor thing. You okay?” She nodded and smiled. I kissed her lips and she went back into our room to sleep again. Usually it’s her wide awake all the time and me napping. Maybe this whole wedding thing is getting to her. She gets so stressed because she just wants everything to be perfect. So do I, I just don’t like seeing her upset. We take things slow with plans because I don’t want to pile things all over her. I closed the pot and I was finally done. Now it could just sit and stay warm until everyone got here. Zayn and Perrie were first. “Where’s Ashton?” Perrie asked looking around. “Sleeping. She seems so stressed out lately. I’m going to try to take the plans even slower. She’s a perfectionist and she just doesn’t hold back.” I laughed. “I felt so bad today when she started crying. Every dress looked so pretty but it just wasn’t for her. When I went for mine I probably tried on a hundred dresses. She’ll know when it’s the one. So just never say anything about it. A wedding dress is extra special.” I nodded then Niall burst through the door with Alayna. I smiled and Niall for some reason was cracking up. I shushed him. We talked for a few minutes then Liam and Sophia arrived. Finally Louis and Eleanor got here and I smiled. “Harry, where’s Ashton?” Eleanor asked. “Sleeping. She’s too stressed to stay awake,” I laughed. “She should be up soon.” As if on cue, Ashton came down dressed in jeans and a nice shirt. Her hair was pulled up and she seemed more relaxed than she was when she first got home. “Hi love. Sleep okay?” I asked and she nodded. “Come on, who wants to eat?” I got up and led everyone to the dining room. I brought the food in and set up everyone’s plates. “Have you guys filled up the pool?” Liam asked. “Yeah. We just put the stuff in it last week. We haven’t had time to swim yet, though.” “Let’s go swimming!” Liam said. “I don’t have enough swimsuits for every girl. Plus they wouldn’t fit you guys. Meet us back here. Go get your suits.” Ashton said. They all left. “Why won’t they fit into yours?” I asked. “Cause I have a big butt and none of them do.” I laughed. I smiled and both of us went into our room. Ashton pov: “Red or black?” I asked laying them out. “Hmm,” Harry put a finger on his chin. To be honest, the red was a bit skimpy. The black was pretty. It had about an inch of frilly stuff at the top of the bottoms and frilly stuff on the top. “Black. Red for when we’re home alone.” I smacked his arm and he laughed. He had on the yellow swim trunks. I put a romper over my swim suit and laid back on the bed. Harry laid next to me and I rolled over on top of him. I giggled taking pictures of him. “No!” I squealed when he took out his phone. I laid next to him again and took pictures with him. A kissing picture turned into actual kissing. My knees were on either side of his waist and my forearms laid beside his head with my hands in his hair. Mine hand was on my hip and the other on the back of my head. “You guys dressed in there?!” Louis shouted from the other side of the door. “Yep!” I rushed to get off of him and we went outside to the pool. Harry took the cover off and jumped in. I took the romper off and laid on a beach chair. “Ash, get in come on.” Harry said. “I’m okay. Maybe in a little bit.” I said putting sunscreen on myself. I laid back again and water splashed me. “Harry quit.” I said. He did it again. “Harry, please stop.” It stopped and I closed my eyes. I gasped when cold water splashed down on me. “Harry!” He had a bucket and he was laughing. “Haz I asked you to stop! Ugh, now I’m all wet. Thanks.” I put my towel around myself and sat down. “Just get in.” Harry said. “Fine.” I crossed my arms. I got on a floating thing you lay on. I relaxed again. Some water was on the raft and it felt good. Harry approached me and I sighed. “Harry, there’s eight other people here. You know how stressed out I am. Please, let me relax.” He left me alone for a while and I sort of fell asleep. Like, where you feel completely relaxed but you still know you’re awake. Suddenly I was cold. Freezing, really. I screeched and surfaced seeing everyone laughing loudly. Harry was closest to me. “Your face!” He laughed and I sighed. Eventually Perrie had to leave. Coincidentally all the girls had to leave. I got a shower while all the boys were downstairs I changed into pajama shorts and a t-shirt. As I brushed my hair I walked to the steps. I heard my name and stopped. “In bed? We don’t do that much.” Harry said shrugging. “Well, hurry, before Niall gets back, tell us!” Louis encouraged. “Erm, she’s good.” I walked away giggling. Oh boy. An old friend of Harry’s arrived and Harry smiled. “See ya boys! Going home to sleep!” Niall yelled and all the boys shouted goodbye. I decided to go downstairs and get an apple. “Cause Ashton is heavier than Eleanor.” An old friend of Harry’s laughed. I furrowed my eyebrows and stood against the door that divided the kitchen from the living room. “No, she has great curves.” Harry defended. “My girlfriend has a thigh gap and a flat stomach.” He said. “Ashton has a great bum and a fit stomach.” Harry argued back. “Sorry you can’t date normal people, Styles. Only skimpy models. I’ll bet you don’t even love her. She’s ugly, she’s fat, she’s nothing my girl is.” He continued on and I ran up the steps. Liam, Louis, Zayn and Harry cursed and yelled at the boy, kicking him out. “I think you guys should leave too. Ashton was obviously down here when he said that crap.” Harry said. The door closed and I sat on the bed. Harry slowly entered the room. “Angel..” Harry cooed hugging me. “This has been the worst day ever..” I said quietly trying not to cry. “Tell me all about it.” Harry said. I faced him and sat Indian style. I explained the dress situation then how I was upset when Harry kept messing with me by the pool and in the pool and finally how I overheard the most recent conversation. Harry frowned. “Sorry I was being a jerk earlier. Usually you laugh and today you didn’t.” He said looking down. “It’s okay.” I smiled. “Wedding planning is much harder than I thought.” I laughed. “Just…relax.” Harry massaged my back and neck until I fell asleep.
