It's A Bumpy Ride. *Niall Horan Finished*

Chapter 30

-Courtney

“Please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Horan.” It was Zayn who announced our entrance to the reception. It was held in the same building. The room was white but the blue lights made everything seem like it was snowing. They even had little snowflakes on the screen. I was in awe of everything. There was a dance floor on one side and then a place filled with tables on the other side of the room.

The cheers and clapping brought me out of my trance. Everyone was now in front of us getting ready to sit down around the tables. The food was brought out for everyone; lemon glazed chicken; I think, Louis didn’t really run the food by me either. It was actually pretty good, along with the fruit and vegetables that were arranged with the meal.  I looked down the table to see that mostly everyone was finished. That mean they were going to be starting to clear the tables off and let us go to the other side of the room.

The caters’ took away the plates and we were able to dance.

“Okay everyone let the new married couple though so they can have their first dance.” Zayn announced. I am guessing he was the deejay or whatever for tonight. Niall and I stood up; he kept his arm wrapped around my waist; leading me through the crowd of people until we were in the center of the dance floor.  Hunter Hayes’ song ‘Wanted’ started softly humming throughout the room.

“You know I’d fall apart without you.”  My arms wrapped around Niall’s shoulders and rested my head against his chest as we swayed back and forth. He sang along softly, almost whispering the lyrics with. I raised my head to look at him. Very softly he stole a kiss. The people around us that were paying attention awed. I noticed some were recording this moment, I wasn’t mad about that I want to be able to watch this moment years from now.

“Baby I want to make you feel wanted.” It was my turn to steal a kiss.

There was a thunderous round of applause around us. I faced everyone and knew who I was going to dance with next.

“Courtney look to your right.” It was Louis who told me to. He knew me almost as well as Niall. I turned and saw Sam standing there. I really wanted to dance with him first even though Jerry is the oldest. Sam and I have a closer relationship.

He walked towards me. He placed a hand on my hip and took my hand in his. I placed my other arm on his chest and that’s when the music began. It made me smile but I had a few tears slip. 

‘May You Never Take One Single Breath For Granted.’ I stepped side to side, dancing with my brother as he took the place of my dad. I think each of them chose their song because this song, ‘I hope you dance’ by Lee Ann Womack was my mother’s favorite song. We would always sing it when I was little. It took me back to the times when we would sit outside, in West Virginia, and look up at the stars while we had a fire going.

A smile appeared on my face just thinking about the memories.

Half way through the song the tempo changed. Along with the song changing so did my brother. Sam was replaced with Jerry and the song turned into ‘Landslide’ by Fleetwood Mac. I’m not sure how they came up with this song.

“You look gorgeous. Mom and Dad would be proud, never doubt that.” Jerry whispered into my ear. He leaned back and gave me a smile. “I know.” I said back, I placed a kiss upon his cheek when the song ended.

Other people started gathering around me. I could see Sierra and Brittany sitting at a table with the kids.  Demi was sitting around a table with a few of the people that Niall invited that were famous. Simon was here; that’s who Demi mostly conversed with.
