"Nikki are you okay?" Harry asked as he walked into the bedroom to see Nikki laying on their bed with her back to him, still clothed in her dress. It was a few hours until she had to go to Rosalind's house and she still had to pack and get ready. Nikki didn't answer him so he walked around the bed and crouched down next to her, smiling slightly when he saw that she was asleep, a small contented smile on her face. He reached up and moved some of her soft hair away from her face and observed her quietly. Harry couldn't believe that this woman was going to be his wife, after so long wishing it would happen, it finally was. Harry then looked down at Nikki's arm and sighed when he saw the bandage wrapped around it, he reached up and gently rubbed it with his thumb.
"What do you want?" Nikki enquired sleepily and Harry jumped slightly "Ha"
Harry rolled his eyes as she opened her own deep brown ones to look at him, reaching down to entwine their hands on the top of the duvet.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked quietly, looking Nikki in the eyes as she nodded and sighed.
"I'm fine" she replied "Those painkillers you forced me to have, made me tired"
"Well you do need all of your strength for tomorrow" Harry chuckled and nuzzled her cheek with his forehead, allowing Nikki to reach up and run one hand through his hair, sighing contentedly as her eyes flickered shut. "For when I eventually get you home and into bed"
Nikki giggled loudly and opened her eyes to see Harry move away from her slightly, suddenly feeling the loss. Nikki instead pulled him closer and motioned for him to get onto the bed with her. Harry complied with Nikki's silent question and lay behind her, wrapping one arm around her waist, bringing the other one to her pillow and playing with her hair, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"You're going to be my wife tomorrow" he whispered in her ear, pressing a kiss onto her neck.
"Yes I am" Nikki replied with a small sigh "and for the rest of our lives"
"Good"
"and the mother of my future children" Harry added with a smile as he thought about it and Nikki turned over slightly so she was laying on her back.
"Yes I am" she grinned and leant up to kiss him, running one hand through his hair, deepening the kiss quickly. Harry pressed Nikki down into the bed and ran one hand down her side and rested it on her thigh under her dress. However he had to pull himself away from his fiancé, extracting a disappointed moan from her at the loss of contact. She tried to pull him down again for another kiss but Harry just chuckled and shook his head.
"You have to get ready to go to Rosalind's"
"Harry" Nikki whined, turning over and running her hand over his crotch, smiling when she felt his arousal growing quickly. "Please"
"No" Harry replied with a smirk but moaned as Nikki applied more pressure, those eyes of hers were killing him. He licked his lips and Nikki automatically leant closer.
"This will be the last time before we're married" she whispered to him, pressing her lips to his. Harry couldn't take it anymore and pushed her down onto the bed again, giving in to Nikki and his own desire and love for her.
---------
"I'll see you tomorrow at one o'clock" Nikki smiled at Harry as they stood in the front hallway of the house. Nikki with an overnight bag she had brought during her last shopping trip. Harry knew it held the dress she would be wearing during their wedding ceremony and he had to resist the urge to peak, knowing that it would be worth it just to see Nikki wearing it.
"Yes you will" Harry nodded, wrapping his arms around her waist to bring her closer to him, Nikki looping her arms around his neck and allowing him to kiss her lazily. "I love you"
"I love you" Nikki replied, kissing him again, neither of them wanting to let the other go. "I have to go now"
"I know" Harry whispered as they continued to kiss.
"I..really need..to...go" Nikki murmured as Harry pulled her closer, deepening the kiss, both their tongues battling for dominance. Both of them refused to let the other go but after a few minutes Nikki knew she had to leave. Reluctantly she broke the kiss and moved away from her fiancé, giggling slightly when she saw him pout. "I'll see you tomorrow"
"One o'clock" Harry nodded as she opened the door, stealing one last kiss before walking down the path. Harry watched her all the way down the path, hardly believing that in less than twenty-four hours that she would be his wife. This thought made him grin and the grin never left his face as he closed the door and made his way into the living room, suddenly realising how empty the house felt without Nikki.
-------
"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Jenny asked Nikki as they sat around in Rosalind's living room, just the three women. Emily was babysitting the children, saying that they didn't want an elderly woman with them while they were drinking. Nikki had protested loudly but Emily had just rolled her eyes, adding, with a grin, that she didn't want to be around them when they were drinking and talking about whatever they were going to talk about, she felt she was too old for things like that.
"I am bloody terrified" Nikki replied, downing the rest of the cocktail in one gulp "Were you two?"
"Yes" Rosalind replied, pouring some more of the red drink into Nikki's glass, the alcohol they had already drunk starting to take affect "In fact I actually vomited so many times that morning"
"That was because of the alcohol you had drunk the night before" Jenny laughed and Nikki giggled as Rosalind threw the other woman a dirty look.
"Okay so it was that as well" Rosalind shrugged as Nikki drank some more of her cocktail, smirking into the drink. "So what other combinations can we make girls?"
Rosalind jumped up from her chair, staggering slightly as she wandered over to the sideboard where a large variety of alcohol was laid out. Nikki turned on the sofa so she could see her friend over the top and Jenny scooted forward on the armchair slightly.
"Ooh I know" Jenny stood up, stumbling as she made her way over to the sideboard as well, looking through the bottles "Sex with an Alligator or Screaming Orgasm?"
"Excuse me?" Rosalind slurred slightly as Nikki giggled, she could feel the alcohol starting to work as she replied.
"I quite like Sex on the Beach, myself" she laughed and Jenny grinned at her while Rosalind searched through the drinks.
"Yes!" she exclaimed, holding up a bottle of what looked to Nikki, like Southern Comfort "A Sloe Comfortable Screw is in order I think"
"If you say so" Nikki slurred, frowning slightly when she heard herself, before she continued "Whatever floats your boat"
Rosalind then went about mixing the three drinks that went into the cocktail that she wanted, putting very generous amounts of each liquid into the glasses. She handed one to Nikki who eyed it warily, Jenny doing the same.
"If I'm still drunk or hung-over at my wedding tomorrow, I'm blaming you" Nikki told Rosalind, shaking her glass at the other woman in a drunken fashion, making the drink slop over the sides slightly.
-------
"Nikki wake up"
"Go away" Nikki murmured, turning her head so her face was buried in the pillow. Then she realised the small problem of trying to breathe with a face full of pillow and sighed.
"Nikki get up you're getting married in six hours" Rosalind said even louder and poked her friend in the shoulder. Nikki heard this and sat up quickly, wincing as her head pounded and the bright light assaulted her eyes. "Here"
A glass of water and tablets were pressed into her hands by Rosalind who pulled the duvet of Nikki.
"Hurry up you"
"Slave driver" Nikki murmured as she climbed out of the bed, following the other woman down the hallway, trying to ignore the headache. She ran one hand through her hair and collapsed into a kitchen chair, mildly realising that that was the quickest she had ever got up with a hangover. A large mug of coffee was placed in front of her just as Jenny stumbled into the room, looking just like Nikki felt.
"Never let me drink like that again" the woman moaned and Nikki laughed, wincing as it jarred her head. "Why aren't you hung-over?" this was aimed at Rosalind who shrugged slightly.
"Just a bit of a headache that's all" she then turned to Nikki and patted her on the shoulder as she sat down "Right, we have six hours until we are due at the beach, and then you become Mrs Cunningham"
Nikki didn't know if it was the hang-over or the pure nerves that were making her stomach clench, but she jumped up and ran to the sink, before vomiting. She groaned as Rosalind stood up, but Nikki waved her away, making her sit down again.
"I'm fine" she murmured, stumbling back to her chair and taking a gulp of coffee. This made her feel slightly better.
"Nervous?"
"Yes"
"That's normal" Rosalind smiled, patting Nikki's arm "Are you going to be wearing makeup?"
"No" Nikki replied with a small shake of her head, both of them glancing at Jenny who had her head on the table, groaning slightly. Rosalind and Nikki looked at each other with smirks on their faces as Rosalind reached over and patted Jenny on the head, drawing a moan from the other woman.
"Right" Rosalind took charge as the other two women looked like they weren't going to "Showers all around, then hair, then dresses" she paused and thought of it "actually dresses then hair"
Nikki started to feel extremely queasy again and had to fight down the urge to vomit. Rosalind saw this and rested her hand on Nikki's arm.
"It'll all go fine"
Nikki just nodded and gave her friend a small smile, before both of them laughed loudly when Jenny swore once more that she would never drink again in her life.
It might be the wedding in the next chapter or the chapter after :D
