Chapter LXXXIV (84)

I finish curling Normani's gorgeous hair. She looks in the mirror and gasps. "I look so good," she says.

We chuckle. "You look beyond beautiful," I comment.

"Thank you for helping," Normani says. "I couldn't make it without you or the girls. I'm really glad you guys were able to make it."

"Anytime," I respond. "Mani, we're friends, and this is one of the most important days in your life. I would never miss it. I'm so happy for you."

"Just wait until you get to sit down where I'm at, and do your wedding," Mani says. "Your time is going to come, and Liam and you would be so happy that day. You both are soulmates."

I nod my head. "Mani, today is your special day. And number one rule is to focus on you. Just imagine about the moment you walk down the aisle. Your father will hand you off to Harry. The officiant will tell you want to say. You guys will speak your vows and say your 'I do's'."

Normani shivers. "I know. It's amazing. But at the same time, horrifying. This will be a start of a new journey for me. For Harry too. I ask Dinah and Camila what it was like, and they told me it was a rush at first, but then not too soon, they grew into the lifestyle."

"Mani, you're going to be a great wife too," I said. "You're kind. You're elegant. You have a voice of an angel. You can cook. Harry is lucky to have you." Normani smiles and nods her head.

She looks at me and says, "I think I'm going to change." I step aside, and she gets out of her seat.

She picks up her dress on a hanger and walks inside the changing room. I scoot in her seat, and the door opens. I turn around and see Camila in her bridesmaid's dress. I coo and comment, "You look so good."

Camila shuts the door behind her and blushes. "Thanks," she says. "I thought I was going to be late. The kids kept bickering. Good thing Zayn is watching over them. I hope he can manage to take care of our little baby while listening to Soni and Michael argue. Those two never stops." She sets her hands on her waist as she sighs heavily.

I chuckle. "Well, you're not too late. Dinah needs to hurry. She went out to go buy Normani some tea to help calm her nerves. She has to be here."

"Man, I wonder what it's like to be the maid of honor," Camila says. "I want to be see how it's like." Lauren was the maid of honor for Dinah's wedding while Normani was Camila's in her wedding. I couldn't help but agree more. I wish I was the maid of honor too. But I'm honored enough to be a bridesmaid.

The door opens behind Camila, and Dinah walks through, holding a starbuck's tea in her hand. "Sorry," Dinah said, intending that Normani was in the room. Her face fell, realizing her absence, and she sulks a little. "Oh, where is she?"

"She is changing into her wedding dress," I answer.

Dinah breathes and nods her head. "Thank you, Ally, for taking over. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Anytime," I respond. "This is Normani's wedding, and she is a perfectionist."

"Tell me about," Dinah said. "But we love her for it. I can't wait to see how beautiful she will look. This reminds me so much of my wedding. Normani will be so happy than she already is."

"I know," Camila responds. Her brows crease, looking around the room. "Where's Lauren?" She asks.

Dinah answers, "She is taking photos, remember?"

Camila drops her mouth a little, dumbfounded. She smacks her head a little. "Oh, I totally forgot. We were having a moment, and I completely forgot what she was doing."
