Remember

Chapter 31

The kiss is a quick one, but it was enough to make me remember that I loved her so much.

She's smiling now, and my hands sneak under her legs, picking her up, and she squeals but then laughs. She puts her arms around my neck to make sure she doesn't fall, but my hands we're holding her and I would never let her fall.

"What're you doi-" she laughs, and I drop her softly on her bed that was only a few feet away. She's laying on her back, and I crawl on top of her. She's laughing, probably thinking dirty thoughts but that wasn't my intention right now.

I let my head fall on her stomach, and my arms spread out on the bed. "Niall?" she asks. I fake snore into her stomach and she starts to laugh again. "What're you doing?" she laughs, and under my face her stomach vibrates, making me laugh. I guess I'm tickling her while I do so and she starts to laugh harder.

"I'm sleeping, shhh..." I said, taking my index finger up to her face. I can't see where my finger is going but I was trying to put it against her lips like guys do in those movies. Seconds later I hop up when she takes it in between her teeth and bites it.

"Arianna!" I shout. She's laughing underneath me, and sticks out her tongue.

"Kiss it." I said. "Make it feel better." I hold my finger out. She looks at my hand, and after a minute of watching me with my frowning expression, she grabs hold of my wrist and pulls me down towards her. I don't know what she was planning to do, so when she leans up and kisses me on the lips it takes me by surprise. She giggles into my lips, her hands were holding my hair, her fingers going through it. She knew how much I loved that too.

"I should be mad because you bit me," I whisper. "But I'm not." I said, and lean forward to kiss her.

The kiss is a little longer than the last one and when she pulls back she laughs again.

"I love you." she says, while our faces were still close to touch. "I love you more." I say, pulling her into me to hold her against my body.

It was true. I don't know how but she meant more than anything to me and I know I would do anything for her. That's how much I loved her.

Now I was back, with no other worries but finding a job. Yeah, the apartment was small for the both of us but it'd have to work for now. I don't wanna move too fast. I was glad that I was even here, being able to be with the person I love. That's all I ever wanted. My memories have faded and that's that. There's nothing I can do about it.

Last night when Hailey told me that Arianna was meeting with Zayn I was worried at first, but I trusted her, so I calmed down and cheered up instead. Because knowing that nobody else owned her except for myself, that feels great.

She was finally all mine, and I was going to protect her and love her with everything in my life, no matter what it takes.

5 years later~

Arianna~

"You look so beautiful in that wedding dress! I can't get over how good you look on it. I'm so jealous... After all these months with wedding planning and stuff, I can't wait till I get married too." I tell Hailey.

She blushes, fluttering her eyelashes. My best friend was stunning, and now she was getting married, in about five minutes she would be walking down the aisle. I could feel myself tearing up, she was growing up too fast.

"Arie," she takes my hand and holds it. She's shaking with nervousness. "It's gonna be alright." I say.

"What if I trip and fall in front of everyone? What if I fart while the preacher is talking? What if-" she mumbles out all at once and I can't help but laugh. She laughs with me. This was Hailey everyone, my 26 year old best friend. "Trust me, if you do any of that, Louis will do something more embarrassing to save you." I tease. "Probably." she chuckles.
