I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Nine

~Charlotte's POV~

*2 weeks later*

Everything went back to normal. Niall kissed me and told me he loved me way more than usual, but I didn't mind. He said it was his way of telling me that no matter what happens, I will always be his.

Last week, Niall was able to talk to the owner of the building and get me an apartment straight across from his so I moved in on Saturday. My parents said it was fine. It's a good thing they liked Niall. The only downside to this all is that Aedan wouldn't leave me alone, but we all tried to ignore him. He called me everynight to say goodnight and I eventually stopped answering his calls.

Anyway, it was Wednesday now, and I had just finished unpacking the last of my things last night, with the help of the boys and Dani and El of course.

Right now, I stared at the ceiling, still lying in bed at 11am.

"Get up!" Niall shouted, storming into my room. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he had the spare key to my apartment and I had a key to his apartment.

"Good morning to you too, babe," I said, getting out of bed and stretching. "And why?"

"Because, Liam booked us to go eat at some restaurant for Lunch. And I am really hungry so hurry up! " and he walked out, closing the door behind him.

"What? No good morning kiss?" I shouted.

"Oh right," he said, walking back in and kissing me. Then he walked out for me to get changed.

Within 45 minutes, I had had a shower, brushed my teeth, and got dressed into this: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=50364330 .. I crossed the hallway and knocked on Niall's door.

Within three seconds he was at the door.

"You look beautiful," he said, kissing me. I felt his arms snake around the little bit of skin between my shirt and skirt. His hands were warm, as usual, and my body heated up by his touch.

"Thanks," I replied, pulling away.

When we arrived, we said hello to everyone and then ordered. Niall, of course, ordered like the whole menu. We were lucky that there weren't many people there.

They had some karaoke playing and a few people got up to sing.

"Who else would like to have a go?" the DJ asked.

"This beautiful lady would," Niall shouted, pointing to me.

"What? No I wouldn't!" I said.

Everyone shouted their "yeah come on" and "you can do it!" so eventually I gave in.

I walked up to the stage shyly. The DJ handed me a mic and played Give Your Heart A Break by Demi Lovato.

I sung it without struggle. People had always told me I was a great singer and that I would make it far, but I wasn't so sure. Niall, on the other hand, had never heard me sing. When I finished the song, everyone cheered. I looked over to Niall and he had the biggest smile on his face. I blew him a kiss, gave back the mic and sat down.

"You were amazing!" El said, when I sat down.

"Yeah, you have a fantastic voice," Dani added.

Everyone agreed.

"Aww, thanks guys, that means a lot," I said.

"You should seriously audition for X Factor," Zayn said.

"CC, babe, you were fantastic. I agree with Zayn, audition. Or we could get Uncle Simon to listen to you?" Louis added.

"Thanks guys, but I will have to think about it. I am not so sure."

They nodded and went back to eating.

"You were terrific, babe. I never knew you were so good!" Niall whispered.

"Thanks. And you're not so bad youself, you know," I winked.

He shrugged one shoulder.

Later on, we decided to call it a day and head back to our apartments for some alone time. Niall said he wanted to take a nap and so did I. I was tired.

The others had already said goodbye and gone to their apartments, so it was just me and Niall standing outside my apartment.

"Niall?" I started.

"Yeah?"

"So, I was thinking about how Zayn said I should audition for X Faxtor.. And I realised that I want to audition.."

"Really?" He said, smiling.

"Really!"

"That's great!" he picked me up and span me around.
