Niall drove around the Irish town for about 10 minutes. I watched his face get taken over by a smile when he realised I was looking at him. I laughed loudly when he tried to look at me but his eyes were back on the road before he even focused on me. I took my seat belt off within a minute of driving because there were no cars on the small roads Niall was choosing to drive down and I was very full of engery and I wanted to do something kind of scary.

"Mrs Horan?" Niall asked as we neared where the reception was being held.

I giggled, "Mr Horan."

"Are you ready for the best wedding reception that there will ever be?" he asked and the car came to a stop.

I shuffled in my seat and looked at him properly, "Are you?"

He undid his seat belt and leaned in. His hand held my cheek as he pushed his lips onto mine.

"We should go inside," I breathed when we pulled away for air.

He frowned, "Or we could stay out here."

I felt his fingers run across my collar bone to the strap of my dress and slip it gently down my shoulder. I felt my heart rate quicken and my body longed to give in to Niall's soft, gentle touch that was so rough at the same time.

"If you carry on I'm gonna give in," I said quietly.

He smirked, "That's what I'm hoping for."

I smiled and climbed onto his lap because he just had a thing about him that I found nearly impossible to refuse. I hated the amount of control he had over me yet I loved it at the same time.

I looked down at him for a brief second before kissing him, hard. I would never ever get enough of his lips on mine, never. His hands stroked up my back that was bare because of the style of my dress, causing goose bumps all over my body.

Niall laughed which made me break away from him, "You really still react like this when I touch you? After months of being engaged?"

I slid off his lap and scowled, "It's not my fault. And if you don't like it then why did you marry me?"

"I do like it. I like that your body still reacts the same way as it always has when I touch you," Niall smiled and shuffled closer to me on the joint seat of the car, "You just can't resist me."

He leant in to kiss me but I just turned my cheek to him and smiled, "Later."

"What? Princess that's unfair," he protested.

I just patted his cheek, "It'll be better then anyway. We won't be a car park where any creep can see us."

He sighed, "Ok."

I kissed him again quickly, on the lips this time, as a reply and a smile appeared on his face.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you," I said. I pushed myself away towards the door, "Now come on, we're missing our wedding reception."

He groaned but opened his door too. We both climbed out and made our way into the reception holding hands. Everybody clapped when we walked through the doors and I smiled.

The tables were laid out beautifully and everyone was sat waiting for me and Niall. All the tables were circles apart from the head one which was a long rectangle.

Niall and I walked up to the head table and took our seats next to one another. The order of the people on the table was Carol, my dad, Liv, me, Niall, Greg, Bobby and Maura. The rest of the one direction were sat on the table just in front of the head one along with Peter which I could tell made him very happy.

"Sorry everybody," I apologized for Niall, "We went for an unexpected drive."

"Feel free to start eating now though!" Niall said because everyone had food already on their plates.

Soft music started playing and people began eating. I picked up my plate and walked over to the buffet table at the edge of the room. I spooned a load of salad onto my plate along with 4 chicken wings, a handful of chips, a bread roll and a few slices of cheese. There was so much food on the table I wanted to try everything but I just couldn't fit everything on my plate.

"Salad?" Niall asked from next to me, making me jump slightly at his sudden appearance.

"What you think I'm not healthy?" I asked.

He laughed, "I know you're not healthy."

I pouted at him and he just kissed me which forced the smile back onto my face immediately.

"I'll see you back at the table," I said and walked back to the table where Liv was busy eating a slice of pizza.

"So... how does it feel to be married?" she asked when I sat down next to her.

I stabbed a chip with my fork and dangled it in front of my mouth, "Different to how I thought it would."

She looked at me with confused eyes.

"No," I said quickly, "In a good way."

"Oh," she laughed, "I was like what?"

I laughed and put the chip in my mouth, "You know," I said with my mouth full, "We were so close to having sex in the car before we came in."

I knew it was probably not the normal thing to say to your best friend but there wasn't anything I could say to Liv that would make her judge me. We knew all there was to know about each other and through out our whole friendship neither one of us had ever judged the other for anything. We only gave advice and tried to help each other make the best decisions.

Her jaw dropped and she laughed, "Lily you cheeky slag!"

I laughed and put my finger to her mouth, "Shut up my dad is next to you!"

She laughed even more and turned to my dad, "Pretend you didn't hear that yeah Mr S?"

He just smiled, "Don't worry."

I smiled at him and Liv turned back to facing me.

"Husband alert," she said and looked past me. I turned as Niall sat down next to me with his plate loaded with food.

"Hey Liv," he said.

I could tell Liv was trying her hardest not to laugh because of what I told her and she did a surprisingly good job.

"Hi. How's it feel to be married?" she asked him.

He looked at me, "It feels good."

I blushed and smiled as he leant in and kissed me again.

"Ok, I'll leave you 2 to do your married couple shit," Liv said quietly and I couldn't help but laugh.

"I think she's drunk already," Niall whispered.

"Nah," I said, "She's just getting used to us being married."

I could've well been wrong though because there was a nearly empty glass of wine infront of Liv and who knows how many glasses she'd had before that.

He smiled, "I don't think I'll ever be used to it."

I giggled and pushed my lips to his again. I could kiss him all day.

We tore off each other when the light tapping on a glass filled the room and all the talking stopped. I looked past Niall to Greg who was standing up.

"A toast to the bride and groom," he said across the big room, "Niall your my little brother and I love you very much. So much so that when we were kids I dropped a chine plate on your foot and almost broke your toes."

The room laughed and Niall nodded to confirm that it was true.

"No but seriously, I love you man and here's to yours and Lily's amazing life that's ahead of you," Greg said and raised his glass of wine. The rest of the room held their cups of all different kinds of drinks in the air and cheered. Greg sat back down and I leaned across Niall to him.

"Thank you," I said and kissed his cheek.

"No problem," he said.

I tried to sit back up straight but I was held down by Niall.

"Hey!" I said, "Let me back up!"

He laughed and looked down at me, "Never!"

"I guess I'll just talk to Greg for the rest of the wedding then shall I?" I joked.

Niall let go of me and I sat back up straight.

"No talk to me," he said and kissed me. I laughed and kissed him back.

"I love you," I said. He knew I loved him and I knew he loved me but I would never be able to say it enough.

"Well I should hope so, we are married," Niall joked and kissed me again, "I love you too."

Yeah. We really were married.
