Niall's POV

"Alexis, it's the bride who can be late, not the best mate!" I screamed from the floor below.
"I'm coming down!" She screamed back.
I was sitting on the couch when my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen and saw that the call was from Zayn.
"Hello?" I spoke as soon as I put the phone in my ear.
"I'm freaking out!" Zayn yelled.
"Hey, easy! What happened?" He took a deep breath.
"It's an hour to go, there's a lot of people here, she's in the next room, I'm wearing a different suit than everyone I've ever worn, I've received about twenty good luck tweets. I'm feeling a weird business in my belly, it feels like pee, but nothing comes out." I laughed.
"Relax, I'm coming! Can you stay another 20 minutes without freaking out?"
"Yeah, I think so!"
"Then take water, take a deep breath! I'm coming!"
"All right, run!" I ended the call, and I prepared to shout Alexis as she ran down the stairs with her shoes in hand, and her purse in the other.
"Els needs me, fly!" She pulled me and we ran to the car. "She called me, said she has a stomachache."
I thought it best not to comment that Zayn had called and said the same thing.
I tried to drive as fast as I could to the place where the wedding would be. I got there in less time than the GPS said it would take me to get there.
I left the car to be parked by the valet and ran next to Alexis to the grooms' rooms. Alexis went the other way, I knocked on the big double door where Zayn and his father were.
"I'm here!" I walked to my friend and held him tight.
"He already talked about quitting twice!" Yaser spoke as soon as I let Zayn go.
"You're not crazy, that's all you've wanted for the last five months." I told Zayn.
"I'll leave you two alone." Yaser hit me in the shoulder. "Good luck!"
"Thank you!"
I waited until the oldest one left the room and closed the door completely.
"No giving up!" I spoke as soon as the door was closed.
"I'm not giving up, but I guess I waited so long, I ended up getting more nervous than I wanted to." Zayn took a deep breath. "I don't know if I got it right by writing the vows, if I picked the right rings, I actually think even this tie is wrong!"
"Let me see!" I looked at the knot on my friend's tie and it was perfectly done. "It looks great! The rings were the ones Alexis sent you?" Zayn nodded. "So you're right, Ella said they were the ones she'd like to get. Are your feelings expressed in your vows?"
"Yes, all of them, everything!"
"Then it's all right Zayn, rest assured! It's going to be all right, and you'll be the happiest guy in the world after me!" Zayn stared me in the eye with confusion. "Alexis can't be of both of us."
"But Ella makes me a thousand times happier than Alexis makes you!" I smiled to make him relax a little.
"I doubt it very much, I can say that I am much happier than you!"
"You've been with Alexis for 3 years, I'm happy on a higher level, in less than one!" I laughed at that sentence.
Until they knocked on the door.
"Ni?" It was Alexis' voice. "May I come in?"
"Of course!" Alexis entered the room and smiled at Zayn. "How are you?"
"Nervous, I won't lie!" He gave a yellow smile and got a hug from the girl.
"I can imagine! But it'll all come out perfect." Lexi turned to me. "We have to go, it's almost time! Trisha's on her way, can you stay a few minutes alone?"
"I think so!"
"Great, then let's go Ni!"
I hugged Zayn once more.
"I'll be by your side till the end!" I let him go and got a thank you.

The time has come...

Ella felt her hands sweating as she descended the great stairs receiving the gaze of all those present. She looked everywhere, smiling at all the guests until she found his gaze.
He had become the most important part of her life.
Her mother was waiting for her at the end of the stairs, the woman was smiling like never before when Ella arrived near her mother the eldest began to cry.
"You look beautiful!" She whispered between sobs.
Ella dried one of the tears that came out of her mother's eye and intertwined her fingers with those of her eldest.
Both walked slowly to the sound of her music with Zayn "Little Things", from the boy's old band.
She had no idea she'd be so happy to see him moving his lips singing the song staring into her eyes.
She stopped in front of her fiancé, her mother hugged him and gave Ella's hand to him.
"Take good care of her! I'm giving you one of my greatest gifts!" Zayn nodded and held Ella's sweaty hand.
He deposited a tender kiss on Ella's forehead, which closed her eyes as she felt the boy's lips on her skin.
"You look perfect!" He smiled at her.
"You're not so bad yourself!" Ella tried to mess up his hair, but Zayn managed to dodge it.
"You missed it!" Everyone laughed, including Ella and Zayn.
They turned to the master of ceremonies, who took a deep breath before he began to speak.
"We are gathered here to celebrate the union of this young couple, Ella and Zayn. It is beautiful to see love being realized in marriage, and today these two young people decide to stop being two separate individuals, to be one!" Ella looked at Zayn in the corner of her eye. He, on the other hand, kept his gaze fixed on the man who was talking in front of him. "That is why I want to know about Mr. Zayn that you willingly accept Ella as your lawful wedded wife, to love and respect her, in health and sickness, in wealth and poverty, in joy and sorrow, until death do you part?"
"I do!" Zayn answered this time looking at the woman next to him.
"Ella, do you freely and spontaneously accept Zayn as your lawful husband, to love and respect him, in health and sickness, in wealth and poverty, in joy and sorrow, until death do you part?" Ella looked at Zayn, her eyes were filled with tears, and before she could take a deep breath to avoid crying a tear ran down the side of her face.
"I do!" She answered with her voice embargoed.
"We then proceeded to the handover of the rings and the vows!"
Safaa and Alice walked to the couple each holding a kind of tray, in them contained the rings and the written vows.
Zayn and Ella greeted the younger sisters and took the two trays.
"All right, Zayn, you start with your vows."
Zayn took a deep breath as he took the microphone in his hand and stared at Ella.
"My mom's going to hate me now, but I'm fucking nervous!" Everyone laughed. "I love you, Mom!" He threw a kiss to his mother who was behind him at the altar. "Wow, finally! It took time, but it came." Ella let the air out in a tone of relief. "I wanted to start by saying that I'm the luckiest man in the world, what would have happened to me if I hadn't found you at that dinner if I hadn't come after you after my presentation if I hadn't asked for your phone number if I hadn't spent the night talking to you if I hadn't found you at Niall's the next day if we hadn't watched that movie if we hadn't slept hugging on the couch by accident if we hadn't gone to London Bridge? I can't even imagine those possibilities! Since the day you came into my life everything has been more fun, and happier! It's okay that you didn't talk to me for two weeks just because I called you a troll! People, is amazing how small she is!" Everyone laughed again. "I won't talk about your height, I promise, but it has a little to do with it. The first picture they took of us was one in front of Buckingham Palace and you were in my hug, that picture has been my background since that day. You fit me perfectly, our hands fit perfectly, I'll prove it!" Zayn raised his hand and Ella put her glued on his, and the fingers intertwined automatically. "See, that's crazy! And when you said yes to be my girlfriend, and live a life by my side, not just as an agent, but as an accomplice and confidant, I became the happiest man in the world! Your crises of jealousy with the waitresses who looked at me too much in the restaurant, or the fans who grabbed me too much. Your laughter and a few cries, screams and caresses, hugs and kicks, smiles, and beaks. Everything makes me realize how much I love you, and how much I want to be with you for the rest of my life. When I asked you to marry me and you said yes without thinking twice, at that moment I was sure it would be forever! And look where we are, it was five months of headaches, arguments, and running to get to the happiest day of my life! I can barely wait to actually say you're the best wife in the world! I've loved you since the first moment, since the first silly smile you gave me, since that first hug! And I promise I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!" Zayn stopped talking and everyone cheered.
Ella hugged him while he cried.
"I love you!" She whispered in Zayn's ear.
"Miss Ella, your vows!" Ella took the microphone.
She wiped her tears and took a deep breath before she said anything.
"You want to kill me is not possible!":Zayn laughed and felt his eyes fill with tears as he heard the woman's voice. "My God, I wrote these vows so many times, I threw away so much paper, I must have a costly debt with nature! But it's very difficult to organize my thoughts about you, no matter how hard I try, it's so much that I end up losing myself! I wish I could talk about all the moments we had together, but for that, I would need about four hours or more! Zayn I have to admit that before you I thought I was happy, but with you, I'm not just happy, I'm happy and full! I think about all the things we have experienced, from the first moment I heard your voice for the first time inside my car in Hertfordshire. If that day I first heard your music someone told me I would marry you, I wouldn't believe it. And look where we are! You've always been much more than a boyfriend, you've always been my friend, my protector, you've been with me in the moments where I was hurt, literally, and in the moments where I was completely fine. I thank the universe, and that higher power for putting you in my life, for giving me the best friend I could have. I can't and I don't want to imagine my life without you because you have become my plan in the short, medium, and long term. You have become my greatest dream!" Ella's voice was once again embarrassed when she saw the first tear run down Zayn's face. She reached out and dried that drop. "I was never happy before you, I imagined I couldn't be better than that, and I was really afraid to change that situation, you gave me strength, you encouraged me to change my life, to change cities. You're the most special guy in the world, my heart races just thinking about you, my eyes shine when I hear your name. And I promise I will be your best wife, your best friend, your accomplice at all times, I will be by your side always, for whatever you need. And I will make it a point to remind the world that I have the best husband in the world. I love you more than anything, and you will always be the first in my life!"
Zayn and Ella embraced each other again, while everyone applauded.
They stared at each other and had to hold on tight so they wouldn't kiss.
"With the power invested in me, that night I declare them husband and wife, as of today Ella starts to sign as Ella Malik! You may kiss the bride!"
Zayn gave the tenderest kiss, a kiss he'd never given in Ella, a husband and wife kiss.
"You're the best husband in the world!"

The End!
