Thunderstorms: A Harry Styles Love Story [COMPLETED]

Chapter 13: Mansions and Make up

~~~Sierra's P.O.V.~~~

I stepped out of the shower and dried my hair with a towel. Normally I would blowdry it, but I didn't have any time today. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my blue tank top. I smoothed out the blue dress and folded it neatly, placing it in my suitcase. It was spaghetti strapped and the skirt was frizzy, kind of like a shorter version of Dani's wedding dress. It was the day before Liam and Danielle's wedding, and I can't describe how excited I am. They were finally getting married, and would be able to be together forever. I wonder what that would feel like; being with the same person until you die, having everyday to spend with each other, building a family, making memories. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Ready to go?" Harry asked. 

I nodded and followed him out the door, and into his car, along with Eleanor, Perrie, and Ruth. We were all wearing tank tops - the weather was hardly bearable. The rest of the boys were already at the venue of the wedding, keeping Liam company. Harry just came back to pick us girls up. Perrie and Ruth were deep in talk about  their pets, while Eleanor and I just couldn't stop squealing with excitement. We drove for about 20 minutes before reaching a huge mansion. It was Liam's grandmother's house. 

On the outside, it seemed old yet elegant. The yard in the back could be described as more of a park - it was huge! A small part of the garden was covered in pots of colorful roses. Danielle had planned to have the wedding outside, if the weather cooperated. The inside of the house was more modern - the floors were marble and there were about 20 bedrooms. They all looked about the same, with plain white doors and black desks and chairs, and even a small bathroom in each. We were allowed to share 4 rooms. After a few minutes, we finally decided on the rooming arrangements:

1st Room: Niall, Zayn

2nd Room: Harry, Liam, Louis

3rd Room: Dani, Eleanor, Me

4th Room: Ruth, Perrie

Everyone dragged their suitcases up to their rooms with ease, except for the 3 of us. Danielle had brought a LOT of stuff. In the end, Danielle carried her own suitcase and her huge wedding dress, not trusting us with it; Eleanor carried both our suitcases; and I carried Danielle's huge make up bags, shoes, and other accesories. You see, Danielle was the kind of girl who needed everything to be perfect (can't blame her, i mean it was her wedding day after all), she didn't really trust anyone to get her style right. Therefore, she decided to do her own hair and make up. She basically cleaned out her entire five drawers of make up and accesories, which were really heavy. Finally, we made it up the stairs and we all fell onto the huge bed. Eleanor started jumping up and down and soon we all joined in. It sooned turned into a little trampoline war. Eleanor pushed Dani, and I tripped her. She screamed and we all stopped when we heard a knock on the wall from Ruth and Perrie's room.

"SHUT UP YOU CRAZY PEOPLE."

We burst out laughing and just lay on the bed for awhile. 

"Dani....are you nervous?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Why would she be? Everything will be perfect!" Eleanor answered for her. "Well, unless the priest doesn't turn up, or the cake delivery truck gets lost, or your heels snap, or-" 

"Shut up El." Dani rolled her eyes. "I wasn't nervous before, but now that you literally just gave me a list of things to be nervous about......OH MY GOD IM SO NERVOUS." she exclaimed, hyperventilating.

"You'll be fine." I assured her, rolling my eyes while chuckling.

Suddenly a voice came from behind us. "Don't worry Dani, I'm nervous too!" Liam called out from the other room.

Dani blushed. "Did you guys hear all of that?"

"Mhmm."

"Wow. These walls are not thick enough." Dani concluded. We burst out laughing.

"Anyway, Grandma is making dinner for us, and told us to go to the dining room in half an hour. Dress fancy." Liam informed us. 

I groaned. I didn't bring anything fancy besides for my bridesmaid dress. Eleanor noticed and chucked some yellow material at me. It was a simple spaghetti strapped yellow dress that was white at the top and turned yellow at the skirt. I mouthed a 'thank you' at Eleanor and she shrugged, pulling out her own dark blue dress. Danielle settled on a green dress after way too much thought and slipped into it. 

"I CALL DIBS ON THE BATHROOM." Dani screamed before running to the small bathroom. Only one of us could fit in there if we wanted to be able to move at all.

I chuckled and took a small mirror out of my bag, applying some mascara and letting my bunned hair down. It was wavy from being tied up all day, so I just decided to leave it like that. Eleanor was banging her fists on the bathroom door, screaming at Dani to let her in. I rolled my eyes. After a few more minutes Danielle finally came out of the bathroom. Her hair was in a bun, and her make up was flawless - natural yet sophisticated. Even though this girl went to extremes to get the perfect look, I had to say, it was probably worth it. 

"Let's goooo...!!" Eleanor yelled and we piled out of the room, making our way toward the smell of food. 

The dining room was incredible. The three of us stopped in our tracks at the sight of a huge chandelier. The dining table was huge, and was covered with food of all kinds. We took our seats next to Ruth and Perrie. The boys came into the room and their faces were priceless. They were all staring at the chandelier, except for Niall of course - he was staring at the food, literally drooling. They sat down across from us and Liam's grandma entered. She was wearing a long red dress and she looked pretty young (her hair was barely gray), much younger than I expected her to be anyway. She seemed friendly, reminding me of mum. Her make up was perfect, and I could already see Danielle wondering what products she used.

"LiLi!" she called and Liam blushed. Danielle giggled next to me. Liam stood up and embraced his grandmother, and then sat back down.

"Good Evening, boys." she greeted the boys.

"And hello girls!" she smiled warmly at us. 

"Hello, Mrs. Payne!" I replied.

"Call me Ann." She instructed. We nodded.

"Well, what are we all waiting for? Let's eat!" she exclaimed enthusiastically.

Niall plunged forward, grabbing a chicken wing and almost knocking over his drink in the process. I reached for the spaghetti and so did Eleanor. Danielle engaged in a conversation with Ann, I assumed it was about make up. 

Halfway through my meal, I felt someone staring at me. I looked up to meet Harry's gaze. I smirked and we engaged in a staring competition that lasted the whole dinner. Ever since we started dating, we'd begun staring at each other, so I would get used to his eyes. These little stares sooned turned into a huge staring competition. Suddenly, Ann's voice called out.

"Stop staring at each other, lovebirds." Ann teased. Harry blushed and looked down.

"Yes! I won!" I exclaimed and everyone stared at me. Ann just chuckled and I blushed a deep red. Harry smirked and returned to eating his meal.
