Hold On For Dear Love (Sequel to WILD)

News of the engagement got around before the plane even landed at Heathrow. Harry and I walked hand in hand out to the waiting taxi, only to be met by a mob of paparazzi trying to get a picture of the ring. Harry pulled me close as we pushed through, ignoring their questions. I got in the car and slid over while he put the bags in the trunk with the help of the driver. A moment later he slid in next to me and shut the door, letting out a relieved sigh.

“Wow. That was crazy” He said with a chuckle.

“Yeah, it was” I agree.

Harry intertwined our fingers again, his right hand holding my left. He smiled down at the ring and brought my hand to his lips to kiss the back.

“I love you so much” he said softly.

“I love you, too”

I reached up with my other hand to touch his cheek and brought his lips softly to mine. I felt him smile into my lips, his hand moving onto my hip to pull me closer to him. The driver got in and let out a sigh.

“This always happens to me” He mutters.

We pulled away and laughed.

“Sorry. 206 Primrose Hill, please” Harry said to him.

The driver nodded and the car rolled away from the airport, being careful of the paps that were swarming around it. Within a few minutes we were finally back home. I couldn’t help but smile as we stepped into the familiar space. Everything was just the way we left it as if it was just waiting for us to come home.

“Man, it feels good to be home” Harry said as he walked in and placed his bags against the wall.

“Yeah, it is” I agree with a smile.

Not even a moment later I felt myself being lifted into the air. I let out a squeak of surprise as Harry held me up bridal style and carried me to the couch. He set me down then moved to hover over me, his strong arms holding himself up so not all of his weight was on me. I smiled up at him.

“Well hello there” I say wiggling my eyebrows.

He let out an adorable laugh.

“Hi” he replied with that dimpled smile of his.

My smile grew wider and I reached up, hooking my finger on the chain of his necklace then gently pulled it towards me making him move closer to me. Our lips touched and immediately fell into sync, my hands moving up into his hair, tugging on it gently.

“I can’t wait to marry you” he whispered into my lips before starting to kiss down my neck. I bit my lip and closed my eyes, focusing on the tingling feeling his touch gave me...that is until I heard him start singing.

“I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it!” he sang in a high pitched voice.

I burst out laughing and he chuckled into my neck.

“You’re such a dork” I told him, making him lift his head up and look at me with furrowed eyebrows.

“Hey, I am not a whale penis” He said.

I erupted into uncontrollable laughter and he grinned down at me, laughing a little himself.

“Breathe, babe. Breathe!” he said with a chuckle.

I start to calm down a moment later and take a few deep breaths.

“Okay....I’m good” I said finally. “Ow, now my stomach hurts”

“Let me fix that for you” he said with a smile.

He moved down and lifted my shirt slightly then placed butterfly kisses all over my belly. I giggled and pulled him back up to kiss me again. He pulled back after a moment then laid down next to me. I snuggled into his arms, resting my head on his chest so I could hear his steady heartbeat. I turned my head slightly and placed a soft kiss on his exposed collarbone above his shirt collar, making him shiver slightly.

“I love you so much” I muttered against his skin.

“I love you more” He replied with a smile. The corners of my lips curled up into a soft smile and I closed my eyes, letting myself drift off to sleep in his arms.

The next day I got up to meet the girls so I could take them to the set of my new music video. It felt good to be back to work doing what I loved. The vacation was amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I definitely missed the fun of making music videos. Especially ones that are going to be as fun as this one.

I had worked with Jeff, the director, before on my other music videos and he did a great job of actually listening to my ideas and helping me get them into the video in the right way. He was just an overall fun guy to work with as well and I knew this day would be even more fun because my friends and even some lucky fans were going to be a part of it.

The set was at an old castle surrounded by a beautiful garden with a fountain in the middle of the court yard. It was already decorated for the video with effects and props put in to make it look like it actually belonged in a music video for a song such as this one.

All together the video took three days, but during that time I got to have fun with the other girls and the fans. Harry even stopped by a few times and took pictures with some of the fans who wanted one. I had a feeling that it was going to end up being one of my best videos that the fans would love and I was super proud of it.

“Emily, are we going wedding dress shopping soon?” Eleanor asked me.

“Yeah, a couple months yet and we’ll go” I agreed.

“Are you excited? I mean, you’re getting married” Jenna said with an excited squeal.

“I’m very excited....and kinda nervous. I mean, with all that’s happened I just don’t want something to go bad on my wedding day, you know?”

“Emily, nothing bad has happened for months. I doubt that anything else will happen” Sophia assured me.

I nodded and started walking towards the cars since we were done shooting the video.

“I sure hope so”

~.:Three Months Later:.~

“What do you think of this one?” I asked the girls as I held up what seemed like the hundredth wedding dress.

We had been shopping around all day and I still couldn’t find the perfect dress. All of them seemed to be too extravagant or too plain. I had asked Jenna, Sara, my cousin Zoe, the other 1D girlfriends, and of course Harry’s mum and sister to join me on our little outing.

They were all super helpful, but I just couldn’t seem to decide on which one I wanted. That is until I saw it. The absolute perfect dress. I grabbed it and went to try it on, loving it immediately. I walked out and heard a few gasps.

“Oh, Emily. You look beautiful” Anne said, smiling at me.

“This is the one” I said, smiling back.

“I love it. It’s sexy, yet elegant. It’s perfect” Sophia agreed.

“Yeah. Harry will definitely love it” Jenna said, wiggling her eyebrows.

I laughed and rolled my eyes at her.

“You are so perverted” I said.

“Yeah, but you love me anyways” she replied with a grin.

I smiled and shook my head then went back into the changing room to take it off. After that I put it back in the bag then carried it to the counter to pay for it. I arranged for Harry’s mum to take it until it was time for the wedding so Harry wouldn’t see it before then. I knew that the minute I got home he would ask me about it and want to see it. When I got back to the house Harry and the boys were all sitting in the living room watching the latest football game. He turned and smiled at me as I walked in.

“How was your shopping day, love?” he asked, turning his head around so he could kiss my lips.

“It was fun. How about your boys day?” I said with a smile.

“It’s been great. Did you find a dress?”

I smile and nod.

“Can I see it?” he asked.

“No. Harry, it’s bad luck to see the bride in her dress before the wedding day” I said as I stood behind him and the couch, my arms wrapped around his neck.

“Aw, please?” He asked with a pout as he tilted his head back to look at me.

I giggled and kissed his forehead.

“Nope” I said before walking off to the kitchen to get something to drink.

I grabbed a glass and started filling it with tap water when I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. I knew right away that it was Harry since I could smell his cologne so I just leaned back against him.

“Are you sure you don’t want to show me?” He asked in a low, husky voice as he pressed his lips to the base of my neck. I bit my lip and turned around to face him.

“I’m not showing you the dress, Harry” I told him.

“Come oooon. I want to see how beautiful you look in it” he whined, pouting.

“You’ll have to wait until our wedding day” I said as I poked his nose.

“But that’s a whole month and a half away”

“Then you’ll just have to deal with it” I said with a smile before ducking out of his grasp with my water.

I walked back into the living room and took his spot on the couch next to Niall. He followed me in and frowned when he saw that I was sitting in the place he previously sat. Not even a moment later his frown was replaced with a grin as he strutted over and sat down on my lap. I let out a groan.

“Harryyy. Get off you fatty” I said with a laugh.

“Hey! I am not fat!” He said as he lifted up his shirt to show me his toned abs. “This is all muscle, babe”

I smiled and poked his belly making him laugh adorably. I laughed with him and wrapped my arms around his waist. He smiled widely and made himself comfortable in my lap for a moment before turning back to look at me.

“I’m not hurting you am I?” he asked quietly, worried that he weighed too much for me to handle.

“Nope. You’re good” I told him as I kissed his cheek.

“I’m getting up anyway” He said, standing up.

I smiled as he pulled me to my feet before sitting down in his spot. He grabbed my waist and pulled me back down onto his lap. I brought my legs up over his and wrapped my arms around his torso before laying my head on his shoulder. He smiled and kissed my forehead, not even caring that his team had just made the winning point. The boys got up and cheered, but he remained holding me close, a soft smile on his face.

“Harry! You missed it!” Liam said.

“Huh? Oh...Oh well” he said with a shrug.

I laughed at the boys reactions. They shook their heads at him, but decided to leave him alone knowing that they would probably do the same thing with their girlfriends. Now that the game was over they got up and said goodbye to us before heading back home, leaving Harry and I alone in the living room. My focus was on the tv until I felt his lips on my neck. I bit my lip and closed my eyes as he started to leave soft butterfly kisses over my jaw and down to my shoulder.

“I can’t wait to marry you” He whispered.

“I can’t wait to marry you either....but you’re still not going to see the dress” I said with a smirk.

“Oh come on!

“Can I please see the dress?” he asked quietly against my skin.

I smirked and stood up, leaving him pouting on the couch.

“No, Harry. You’re not seeing it until June 15th when I walk down the aisle in it” I said as I made my way to the bedroom to change into something more comfortable to sleep in. I heard him groan from the living room and I laughed.

“You’ll survive” I called back to him.

“I don’t think I will” He said as he got up to follow me into the bedroom. “That’s so far away”

“It’s only six weeks away, Harry. I think you’ll be just fine” I said, tapping my finger on his nose as I walked by him to go into the closet.

I didn’t get very far before he grabbed my hand and spun me around to face him. He grinned and pressed his lips to mine, slipping his tongue into my mouth before I had the chance to deny him entrance. I kissed him back, moving my arms up around his neck as our tongues brushed against each other. After a few moments he pulled back and smiled at me.

“I love you.” He murmured.

“I love you, too… but you’re still not seeing the dress.” I smirked.

“Oh come on!”
