Last Lover ~ Charlie Lenehan

chapter 23

Allie's POV

+ Charlie's Wedding +

I got dressed in a white, lace back dress with mint green heels. I lightly curled my air and put on makeup. When I was done getting ready I grabbed my phone and clutch and got in my matte black Audi R8.

Since I was living in Frampton Cottrell again, it only took me 30 minutes to get to the venue. I pulled up to a large, white tent with lights everywhere. A valet took my car while I walked in. There were paps around the area taking my picture, but I just strutted through them.

I walked into a large room with a chandelier and found Leo. "Allie, I'm glad you could make it." He said. "Yeah. You look great Leo." I said. He was Charlie's best man. "Thank you. You look fabulous as always." He said and smiled. I smiled back. "Well I have to go find Charlie. I think Nat is here. I'm not sure." He said and walked off.

As I was making my way to the drink table, I ran into Charlie. "Oh, Allie. Glad you could make it." He stuttered. I nodded. "Yeah. Congratulations on the engagement. Leo's looking for you by the way." I said and smiled. "Thank you." He said and walked away. I watched him walk away and then carried on with my business.

After a half hour, we were asked to take our seats. I sat in the back. All the bride's maids and grooms men walked down the aisle and into their places. Charlie walked down the aisle with his and Rebecca's mum's.

A few minutes later Rebecca walked down with her dad. She was dressed in a beautiful, lace dress. Her hair was put up and she carried a bouquet of white roses. I noticed Charlie wipe a tear from his eye.

She stood in front of him and handed her maid of honour her bouquet. As they started their vows I started crying. I stood up and walked out of the room. I went to the valet and got my car. I drove away before anyone tried to stop me.

Charlie's POV

As we were saying our vows, I saw Allie get up in the corner of my eye. I knew she was leaving. "Rebecca," I whispered. "Yes Charlie?" She asked.

"I can't do this. I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid I've let the right girl go."

"It's ok Charlie."

"Really?"

"Yes. I know you love her, I just hoped you loved me more. Go get her Charlie."

"Thank you Rebecca." I said and hugged her. 

I walked over to Leo and said, "I think it's time to get her back." He nodded and said, "good luck." I nodded and ran down the aisle.

The valet got my car and I drove off. I knew where she would be, so I went there.

As soon as I got there, I started running around looking for her. I saw her standing in front of the pond and slowly walked towards her. "This is where we had our first date." I said. She turned around and asked, "Charlie, what are doing here? You're supposed to be getting married." I put my hands on her cheeks and said quietly, "yes, but I realized that I was getting married to the wrong girl."

Then I kissed her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. Her lips were still soft and warm like they used to be. Her arms still wrapped around my neck the same way. It was like I remembered, but better.

When we pulled apart she looked at me. There were tears running down her cheeks. "Why Charlie? You could have a normal life with Rebecca. With me we'll always me traveling and doing other things." She cried.

"Maybe, but I don't care. I don't care if I only get to see you for a minute a day. I want to be with you. I want to wake up and feel you laying next to me. I want to kiss your lips and hold you close to me. The risk is worth it, because all I want is you. I love you. Since I first set eyes on you I have loved you. You're what I think of when I fall asleep and what I think of when I wake up. I love you more than words can explain Allie. Just be mine, all mine. Please." I said.

She looked into my eyes and I looked into hers. "Of course. Always. I love you Charlie. I love you." She said and kissed me again. We pulled apart and I held her close against my chest. She fit differently in my arms then she used to, but it was her. All I needed was her.

We stayed like that for a while until she pulled away. "What now?" She asked. "I want to start over." I said. "Ok. I'm Allie Anderson. You are?" She asked. "Charlie Lenehan. You look gorgeous." I said. "Why thank you Mr. Lenehan." She said and giggled.

She's back. I finally have her back.
