Prince Charming

'You Can Only Have One...'

♡Anriette's POV♡

I fumbled around with keys to the house while I was outside. When I opened the door, I took my dance back off my shoulder and threw it onto the couch. I sighed as I walked down the hallway, exhausted.

"Niall?" I called, with no answer. That's odd. It's so quiet. Maybe they're at a photoshoot or an interview or something.

The hallway seems to go on forever, and when it finally stops, the stairs aren't at the end of it. There's a door that's never been there before. I slowly turn the handle and step inside. Idiot.

The room is pitch black, with nothing but a spotlight shining on a small oak coffee table. There's an envelope resting on it, with my name on it. Beside it lays a single rose. I stepped towards it like Belle in the West Wing, and carefully picked it up, my hand shaking. I cautiously whisper the words the letter reads:

"You can only have one. Choose wisely."

"ANRI!" Niall yelled, jolting me awake. I shivered as my eyes snapped open, and jumped away from him a little.

"It's only me, Anri," he whispered. I sighed, and he wrapped me in a hug.

"Are you okay? Was it another nightmare?" Niall asked, concern in his eyes. I just breathed loudly and heavily into his chest, shocked and confused at what I had just dreamed about.

"No... not exactly. It was just... strange," I breathed, still wrapped in Niall's arms.

"Really? Because you were shaking and whimpering in your sleep..." he whispered, pulling away slightly from the hug to look me in the eyes.

"I...I was?" I gasped. He nodded in response, never taking his eyes off of me. I need to finish that dream. I need to know what it means.

"You wanna talk about it?"

"There's... there's not much to tell," I shrugged, closing my eyes as he pulled me to lay back down with him. My head was on his chest, and a smile crept across my face as I felt his heartbeat.

"Well... get some sleep then, love. I'm right here if you need me," he kissed my forehead and rubbed circles around my back until I didn't feel them anymore, as we were both asleep.
