“Louis where is everything I have to be quick Nina is blowing up my phone wondering where I am” I frantically look about the house.

“We set it all up in the back come see” Louis smiles and crosses his arms. I follow him out to the huge back yard.

“It’s amazing” My eyes light up, it looks exactly how I wanted it.

“Go get Nina, it’ll be dark soon, I’ll make sure everyone is ready and in place” I pat his shoulder

“Thanks mate, I owe you one”

Nina’s P.O.V

Harry’s been gone for over 2 hours and it’s starting to worry me.

I unlock my phone and dial his number for the 8th time

“Hi love, I’m on my way, get dressed please, and there’s a bag on the left side of my closet put it on, I love you”

“Wh-“ I start but he hangs up. I sigh in frustration and walk over to his closet, I grab the huge white bag hanging up and toss it on the bed. I unzip it to find the most beautiful gown in the entire world. Floor length, black, lace and tight fitting, it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever laid eyes on.

I quickly undress myself, and place the dress at my feet sliding the cool fabric up my skin, I fidget when I try to get the back of the dress zipped up.

“Need help my love?” Harry’s voice rings in my ears, I turn around to see him dressed in a tux without the jacket. My eyes light up, he looks incredible. I open my mouth but nothing comes out, he laughs and walks up to me he twirls my hair and places it on the other side of my shoulder and with one quick movement he zips up the lavish dress.

“Shall we go?” He offers me his arm and I take it without hesitation. I stare at him, and how amazing he looks in a tux. He opens the door to his Range Rover and I slide into the passenger seat.

“Where are we going?” I ask as he backs out of the driveway. He smiles

“It’s a surprise” He takes my hand and brings it up to his mouth.

I smile at him, this man I love so much someone I can’t see myself without.

“I’m not a fan of surprises,” I laugh quietly

“I think you’ll like this one”


He holds my hand the rest of the quiet trip; we pull up outside a large house.

“We’re at Louis’s?” I say sounding slightly disappointed.

“That’s right” He smiles huge, with dimples being revealed on each cheek.

“Come” He steps out of the car and takes my hand, leading me around the side of the house, its dark.

“Harry why aren’t we going inside” I question he shakes his head

“Just go with it love” He pulls me in front of him and covers my eyes with one of his large hands, he then uses his other hand to wrap around my waist and lead me.

“Are you ready?” He whispers in my ear

“Yes” I whisper back, his hand is withdrawn and a sea of lights appear before me. It takes me a minute; my eyes bounce around Louis’s back yard that has been re finished to look like central park.

“Harry” I put my hand up to my mouth, speechless. In the middle is a huge white hot air balloon.

He puts his hands on my waist and pulls my back to his chest.

“Do you like it?”

“It’s amazing, you’re amazing” I take it all in, all the lights, the way it looks just like home, and the amazing balloon in the center.

“Let’s go babe” He leads me again to the balloon, there’s a basket in the corner of the basket and a man, who I’m presuming knows how to ‘drive’ this thing.

“Hershel, we’re ready”

“All right Mr.Styles” He lifts a bunch of stuff off the balloon and we start moving up, I place my arms around Harry’s torso. He looks down at me, never taking his eyes off me.

“I love you so much” He kisses the side of my head, and I cuddle into his chest. I love this man so much.


“I know I’m stubborn and hard to deal with but I love you allot” I say quietly. I look out into this amazing view, taking it all in. I release Harry and walk over to the corner of the large basket staring at big ben the view is indescribable. London looks like a million tiny candles.

“Nina?” I hear Harry, his voice sounds nervous. I smile and pause before turning around. I gasp; he’s on one knee, holding the vintage camera I got him for his birthday in his hands. I hear the quick shutter of the camera lens.

“I’m going to want this one for the book” He speaks shyly.

“Harry” I breathe he takes my hand still on one knee.


“I fell in love with you the moment you stumbled in front of me on the corner of Broadway and 4th and I can’t see a life without you because I’ve lived in a life where I thought you weren’t here and I’ve never, never been in such a bad place. I want to spend the rest of my life with you; I want to have children with you, I want to grow old with you, I want to have a 50th wedding anniversary with you. I want to come home to you, go to bed with you, and wake up next to you, I want to take vacations with you and have you go on tour with me and I never want to leave your side. I want to experience the world with you, my best friend, and the love of my life.” He pauses, I see his eyes become glossy. I quickly wipe away a tear falling from my eyes with my right hand.

“You’re simple, extraordinary, intelligent, beautiful beyond words, and I’m insane about you” I smile as tears stream down my cheeks.

“I’m insanely lucky just to have a girl like you love a guy like me” he holds my hand tighter and with his other hand he takes a small box out of his inside jacket pocket, he lets go of my hand and opens the navy blue velvet box.

“Nina Antoinette Maria Vinci, will you marry me?” He stares up at me with those green eyes I fell for such a long time ago. I pause and pause the words not forming properly, I take a deep breath and his face becomes scared.



“Yes, a million times… yes” His face falls into relief, he takes my hand and places the ring on the finger it’s meant for, he then pulls me as close to him as he can get me, I laugh as he kisses my forehead, then my nose, I place my hands on his cheeks and he presses his lips against mine. I hear the shutter of the camera again; it’s the balloon pilot.

I cuddle close to my fiancée, holy, that’s weird to say… my fiancée.

“Thanks Hershel” He smiles kindly at the man. I look down at my hand where a huge diamond sits on my ring finger. Huge is an understatement, this ring takes up half my finger, and it’s the most beautiful thing.

“Do you like it, the ring is my grandmothers, I just added a few things”

“Harry I love it, I love it so much”

“You’re my fiancée not girlfriend anymore” He says fiancée twice over and I giggle at him.

“I know it sounds… different” I hold his hand.

“I like it” He grabs his coat off the basket in the corner and drapes it around my shoulders.

“We’ll touch ground in 3 minutes” Hershel announces.

I stare at the amazing few for the little time I have left with it, I let the butterflies grow in my stomach over and over.

-

we get a few meters from the ground and I see all the boys, Dani, El, Perrie, Anne, and Gemma, plus tons of other people gathered around the circle where we’re going to land.

“What’s this?” I say excited, I’m actually happy about being around people, which is different.

“It’s our engagement party” He smiles and reveals his perfect teeth

“What would have happened if I said no?” I inquire

“We wouldn’t have been having a party that’s for sure,” He kids so relieved I said yes.

We land and Harry helps me out of the balloon.

The boys crowd around us as everyone starts clapping.

“Lets see the ring” Dani demands. I smile shyly and hold up my hand, there eyes grow ten times larger.

“Holy Harry” Louis’s eyes pop.

“Congratulations” Liam hugs us both at the same time and the rest of the group piles on.

I look through a space in the thousand people hugging us and see Wyatt, Jessica and the kids.

“I’ll be right back” I kiss Harry’s cheek and walk over to them

“I knew something was up when Harry wanted to have lunch with us” Jessica pulls me into a tight hug

“What?” I look at Wyatt

“He asked me for permission to ask you, he’s a great guy” Wyatt says reluctantly.

“He’s not bad” I joke and Jessica grabs my hand


“That ring is incredible”

“I love it”

“Mallory, Parker, Auntie is getting married!”

The twins look up at me sleepily but there face soon turns into excitement.



“Babe” Harry appears behind me. I smile up at him and Jessica and Wyatt smile at both of us.

“We need to say a speech or something I think this is how these things work” I look up at the adorable little boy hidden in the grown man that just asked me to marry him.


Harry taps his knife on his champagne glass. Everyone goes still.

“Thank you for coming, and celebrating our engagement, I love this girl so much if I started talking about it I’d be talking all night, drinks are free and there’s tons of food so please enjoy” He sits back down as claps arise He wraps his arm around me as food surrounds us.


I can’t keep my eyes off the ring, people move from eating to talking to us to dancing to talking to us to drinking and then to dancing again. Harry and I stay seated watching everyone celebrate us.


“There’s someone I want you to see” Harry takes my hand and leads me back into the house


My body starts shaking when I see Tia standing in the doorway with Niall, she turns and her eyes widen unbelievably shocked.

She says nothing; tears start flowing down both our cheeks. She grabs my shoulders and hugs me as hard as she can.

“I missed you so much” She whispers hastily

My face turns white it’s like I’ve seen a ghost I’m completely lost for words, she stares at me for a few seconds steadying her breath.

“I love you,” I breathe

She laughs through heaves and continues hugging me

Harry puts his hand on my back rubbing it soothingly.

“Congratulations” She smiles and angles her view at my ring

“Thank you” I look back at Harry

“Are you going to come in?”

“Of course, don’t wait for me we have tons of time to catch up”

I hug her once more and then Harry takes me to the front of the house.

“Let’s go home”

“But it’s the middle of the party”

“It’ll be our great escape” he pushes me against the door and kisses me quickly before whisking me away out the door.

“Harry this is bad”

“Let’s get married soon”

“You’re crazy”

“I want you”

“You have me”

“We better get home soon or I’ll have to make love to my wife to be in the backseat” He narrows his eyes cunningly at me, before snapping the door open for me and with that my stomach does backflips.
