Through the dark ~Niall Horan Fanfiction~

Chapter Three

*2 months later*

The overwhelming emotion of the whole engagement thing had passed and it was time to begin planning. We both wanted the wedding to be next year in August. It was the 27th of June today and my sister Natalie had come over all the way from Australia to help me with the wedding planning as her job was a wedding planner. (What a coincidence!) I had to pick her up from the airport in an hour but first I had to get ready. I put on a simple maxi dress as it was warm today and some nice sandals. I finished the look off with a nice, wide sun hat. I stood in front of the mirror dusting off all of Honey's fur and sliding my hands down over my hips and turning around.

"Babe, I'm off. I'll be back in about an hour. Do you want a coffee from Starbucks on the way home?" I asked.

"Um yes please," he smiled. "The usual. Don't get caught up by the paps alright," he warned before I kissed him.

"Always careful," I reminded him.

"I know," he replied.

And with that I grabbed my handbag and sunglasses and walked out the door.

*************************************

"It's so busy," I mumbled to myself wondering where I was going to park.

I finally found a park after 10 minutes. I raced inside and Natalie walked out of the gates and I saw her instantly. It felt like years since I had last seen her and she looked much more grown up and more beautiful. I ran up to her and almost tackled her to the ground in a hug.

"Hello to you too!" she giggled.

"Sorry," I laughed. "Long time no see but we should get out of here before someone spots us. We can talk in the car."

She understood and so I helped with her large suitcase and wheeled it back to the car which luckily I could just slide in the back seat since the boot wouldn't have been big enough.

"So how have you been?" I asked as I started driving out of the car park.

"I've been great and work has been getting busier. Probably since I've started working there," she bragged cheekily. I punched her lightly on the arm.

"Cocky much. Nothing has changed obviously," I teased

"It has so!" she fired back in defence. "But on another note," she started. "I'm so happy for you! Like, i'm going to be a bridesmaid!" she said excitedly.

"Hold your horses," I replied. She looked at me in shock. "I'm joking. You are also going to be the main one. I want you to stand beside me at the alter and be there for me."

"Aw Indie!" she said happily. "It would be my honour," she smiled.

"Change of topic, do you want anything from Starbucks?" I asked since I had promised Niall a coffee and we were turning into the car park of Starbucks.

"Yes please. I'll stay in the car while you get me a caramel frappuccino," she smiled innocently.

"Sure! Anything for you sis," I smiled sarcastically and rolled my eyes and walked in the front doors.

"No one was waiting at the counter so I walked right up and ordered.

"Hello, what can I get for you today?" asked a tall, blonde, handsome looking guy.

"Can I please get a caramel frappuccino, a vanilla infused tea and a cappuccino please," I smiled.

I gave over the the money and received the change.

"Can I get a name for that?" he asked.

"Indie," I smiled.

"Thank you," he smiled back. "Wont be too long."

I waited about 4 minutes and my name was called by the good-looking fellow. I thanked him and as I was walking out of the cafe I looked down onto one of the lids and it had what looked like his number on it.

"Creep," I muttered under my breath as I hoped into the drivers seat.

*****************************

I parked on the side of the street and carried in the drinks, my handbag and Natalie's handbag while she carried her suitcase up the stairs.

"We're home!" I yelled as I opened the unlocked door.

"Niall came around the corner and greeted me with a kiss and helped Natalie with her suitcase like the gentleman he was and carried it to her room.

"Thank you," she said sounding relieved that he was there to help her.

"Anytime," he grinned. "Long time no see aye," he said hugging her.

"It feels like it has been forever! How have you been?" she asked while I went and grabbed my tea which was the one that had the number on it so I chucked the lid in the bin.

"Not bad. Bit busy in the office with the band stuff. What about you? Oh by the way, thank you for coming to help us plan the wedding."

"It's fine and it's my job. But yeah I am doing fine. My career is going great and the buisness is growing quickly and life is amazing."

They grabbed their drinks too and we all sat on the couch and caught up on each others lives and stories of things that had happened recently.

After about an hour we had to stop because Niall had to go to a meeting and I thought it was a good idea to go sightseeing around London and show Nat all my favourite shops.

**********************************

We had been walking around for ages and I think Nat's memory card in her camera must've filled up because she had taken so many photos. We had been stopping almost every 10 seconds for a photo. It was painful but it was nice seeing her so happy. She had recently gone through a breakup with her boyfriend of one and a half years. She loved him alot but he didn't feel the same way so he broke it off. I felt bad I couldn't be there for her but she is a strong girl.

"Can we go home now?" I grumbled as she was taking a photo of a flower in the botanical garden.

"Give me two more minutes. These flowers are beautiful and I promise we can go home after that."

"Thank the heavens!"
