Putting Together the Puzzle: A Dark Niall Horan FanFiction

Chapter 31

*NIALL'S P.O.V.*

"Look at her." I smile, taking a drink of my water as I watch Charlie, dancing with Harry and laughing.

"She looks beautiful." Greg nods with Theo in his lap. "I am really happy that you are happy."

"She just looks so happy."

"So you aren't upset about her leaving?" Greg asks.

"I was for a little bit." I shrug. "When she first told me I was heart broken. I really thought it was all ruined but she came back Greg. That's all that matters, she came back." I nod. "I have spent half of this relationship trying to control what happened with us and what Charlie did. But today made me realize that we are so great together but I should also leave Charlie to make decisions for herself. She is a smart women and I have been too dumb to realize that." I look over at Charlie and she is already looking at me, waving before Harry takes her hand and twirls her. She throws back her head in laughter, gesturing me to come over.

"Niall I am so proud of you." Greg smiles. "You have come so far from where you were. You have really grown up."

"She changed me." I nod. "Charlie changed me for the better and she will keep me sane till we are old."

"Niall come on." Charlie rushes over to our table, tugging at my hand. "Please come dance with me."

"You know I hate dancing." I cringe.

"But you love me." She smirks. "I took my heels off and everything."

"If you don't dance with her I will have to mate." Greg laughs.

"Alright I'll dance." I roll my eyes. As we near the dance floor Tyler begins to sing "Can't Help Falling in Love".

"Awe I love this song." Charlie smiles.

I take her hand and put my other hand around her waist, pulling her close. Charlie rests her face on my chest.

"I am so happy." She tells me.

"That's all that matters to me." I sigh.

"I love you so much."

"I love you more." I nod.

"So what are we doing for our honeymoon." Charlie asks, resting her chin in my chest so she can look up at me.

"I have it all already planned. I bought two tickets to Italy last night."

"We are going to Italy?!" Charlie says wide eyed.

"For two weeks." I nod. "Just you and I."

The song ends and Charlie pulls away.

"When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Holy shit." She says with a giddy smile. "Niall we are married and we are going to Italy!"

"Yes we are!" I laugh.

But before I can say more Charlie cups my face in her hands and pull me down to her level, pressing her lips tightly against mine. In the heat of the moment I taste salt from her tears. I pull back, giving her a worried look.

"What's wrong?" I ask. "Did I do something wrong?"

"I'm just really happy Niall." She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me into an embrace. "I'm so happy."
