Don't Forget Me

Chapter 3: lunch

Marie

The sweet melody of his voice rang through the booth. Niall smiled, looking at me and winking as he sang the lyrics.

"You like?" a voice behind me asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I smiled and nodded, "Just as perfect as I remember. Of course I only remember your first album." I laughed.

"Those were the days." Louis smiled, leaning back on the chair.

"Louis?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you ok?"

"What do you mean?"

"Niall told me about Eleanor."

Louis smiled. That's odd. Normally when one brings up an ex the person frowns or cries, or looks angry, Louis looks... happy.

"She is happy now. I am happy now. I'm glad it happened."

"Is he happy?" I asked, looking down at my feet. Despite the fact that I have not been with him in 6 years I still love him. The last thing I can remember is loving him.

"You know everything happens for a reason." Louis said, not answering my question. "You and Niall, you were meant to be. Nothing was going to stop you, it was like watching a Nicholas Sparks movie where you know they will end up together. You loved Chase, but damn, I have never seen love so powerful as yours and Niall's. Marie, I know you don't remember, but he loves you, more than life itself, and I know, deep down, you love him too."

"How do you know?"

"The way you looked at each other, like there was no one else in the room, like you wouldn't be complete without the other person."

"Really?" I gasped. I mean sure I love Chase, but I can never remember feeling anything like that!

Louis smiled, nodding. "Really."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"Murder." Louis responded before standing up, winking at me and walking away.

"Wha- actually, I really don't want to know!" Niall laughed.

"Do you want to go out for lunch?" I said quickly.

Niall smiled, "Marie Horan are you asking me out on a date?"

"Yes." I said, trying to be a little more confident.

"Then yes. I would love to." he smiled.

Niall's smile is something beautiful, right out of a fairy tale. His eyes light up and his teeth shine through.

"I like the song." I smiled.

"Thanks." he blushed, "We are doing it to raise money for the homeless shelter."

"Can you sing it to me?"

Niall smiled, "Later, I'm hungry!" 

I laughed and followed him as he waved to the guys. He took my hand making me blush as we walked to the car. 

As we walked into the restaurant Niall grabbed my hand and a familiar warm sensation traveled up my arm.

Suddenly my head started to pound. 

Niall stared at me, what is he thinking? Oh god, what if I have food all over my face! 

I stared back making the weirdest possible face ever, why am I so weird. Niall laughed, taking another bite of his pasta. 

I let out a breath. Thank god, I look normal, well as normal as I can look. 

Suddenly he grabbed my hand that was sitting on the table, smirking and continuing to eat with his other hand. 

"Marie?" I heard someone say, "Fuck Mar are you ok?" 

I looked up at Niall and the hostest who were looking at me with worried glances. 

We followed the girl, Mary was written on her name tag, and sat down at our table. "Marie are you sure you are ok?" 

"You held my hand." I said looking up at him. 

Niall turned white, "Shit, Marie if you aren't ready-" 

"No, here. Our first date, you held my hand." I smiled. 

Niall's face light up with excitement. "You remember?" I nodded just as someone sat in the table beside us. 

"Marie?" 

I looked over to see a pretty brunette with a baby in her arm, sitting across from a face I defiantly remember. 

"Chase?"
