Just Friends (One Direction AU)

Chapter Fifty-Six

Layla’s POV

“Please…” Maya drags on over the phone and I groan.

“Nina is better at that stuff than I am.”

“Well Nina is in Missouri, so I need you.” She speaks and I roll my eyes.

“Maya…”

“Look I know you don’t want to do this but please, for me? You will only be in town for a day before you go back to Harry in Connecticut. Then I won’t see you until the wedding and I really need help picking out a dress.” Maya sighs and I nod.

“Alright, alright.”

“Thank you!” She screams and I pull the phone from my ear.

“You’re welcome. And thank you for making me deaf.” I chuckle and she does the same.

“I will see you tomorrow.”

“Will do.”

“The last one was really nice.” I speak, but Maya shakes her head, causing me and Niall’s mother to groan.

“It was too… short.”

“Well Maya what are you looking for?” Maura speaks and Maya lets out a huff, plopping to the ground in her 'poofy' dress.

“I don’t know…” She pushes a piece of hair behind her ear looking down at the carpet. “I guess something Niall will love me in.”

“Niall would love you even if you wore a potato sack down the aisle.” Maura laughs and I do the same.

“I agree.” I stand and walk over to the dress rack. “Here. You haven’t tried on this one.” I hand her a dress and she nods walking back into the dressing room.

I sit back down next to Maura who pats my knee. I look up at her and she gives me a smile.

“Thank you for helping her with this.”

“It’s no problem.” I smile and Maura nods.

Maya walks out in the dress. It looks amazing on her. I mean every dress she tried on looked amazing but this one, is perfect. I take a picture of her and send it to Nina. I wait for a response and laugh when I read the text message.

“Nina said that if you don’t get this dress she will kill you.” I chuckle and Maya laughs.

“It’s gorgeous right.” She sighs and turns looking at herself in the mirror.

“Niall will die when he sees you in that.” Maura smiles and Maya nods.

“Yeah…” She smiles patting down the bottom of the dress. “Yeah. I’m going to get this one.”

We all cheer and hug her. Maya laughs and walks back into the dressing room to change. We check out and I drive Maya back to her place.

“Thank you so much for doing this with me.” She smiles and I nod.

“What are bridemaids for, right?”

“Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you I found your bridesmaids dresses. I just need your measurements and shoe size.” Maya grins and I nod.

“I will get right to that.”

Maya gets out my car and waves at me as I drive off.

“A little more to the left.” I speak and Harry groans, readjusting the mirror above the couch in our living room.

“Here?”

“No… A smidge more to the right.” I say biting my upper lip and he turns around to glare at me.

“Seriously?”

“You moved it too much. It’s not centered.” I fold my arms across my chest and he hangs his head before turning back around.

“Fine.” He moves the mirror a little more.

“There! Perfect.” I smile and he nods stepping back.

We stare at the wall and I look over at Harry. He has a smile on his face as if he’s proud that he placed the mirror up there. I laugh and shake my head sitting down on the couch. Harry runs his fingers through his hair and walks over to one of our boxes.

“We have to go to a homegoods store tomorrow.” He speaks rummaging through the box.

“Why?”

“We need liners for our cabinets and drawers and stuff.”

“Awe, aren’t you all domesticated.” I laugh and he rolls his eyes.

“Whatever.”

“We should get these ones.” I point out and Harry shakes his head.

“They’re neon pink.”

“So? They look nice.”

“They look weird.” He laughs, but puts them in the cart. “Who cares if people are blinded when they open our cabinets to get a plate right.”

“Exactly. Let their sight be damned for all I care.” I laugh and Harry does the same.

“Ok. We need some more silverware.”

“Why?”

“Because you can never have too much silverware Layla. Everyone knows that.” Harry chuckles and I shake my head followin down the aisle.

“How was your first day?” Harry asks as I walk through the door.

The apartment smells amazing and I rub my stomach as it growls. I close the door, locking it behind me, and kick off my shoes. I follow the smell to the kitchen and see Harry over the stove stirring something.

“What is that heavenly smell?” I sigh and he laughs.

“Alfredo sauce.” He looks back at me and motions for me to come over, I do and taste the sauce. “How is it?”

“Amazing.” I smile and he does the same, giving me a quick kiss.

“So how was work?”

“It was good. They have me on register duty so that’s easy.” I shrug sitting at the dining room table.

“Mhm.” Harry sing songs, turning off the stove. “But you like it right? Working there and all?” He asks making me a plate and I nod.

“Yeah. I mean it’s a job and it pays pretty well, so I’m in no shape to complain about anything. Thanks.” I smile as he hands me my plate. “Plus my coworkers are really nice.”

“Well as long as you’re happy then I’m happy for you.” Harry smiles and takes a bite out of his food. “Wow this is good.”

“Hats off to the chef.” I laugh and he gives me a grin.

“We have to be up early tomorrow for our flight back home.”

“Yeah I know.” I smile. “I am a bridesmaid and all.” I laugh and Harry does the same.

“Yeah, and I’m a groomsmen.”
