Life with Harry seemed to settle down. You focused on recovery, he focused on work. You both spent the evenings cuddled up in bed watching episodes of the Bachelor and you fell asleep to the pounding of his heart beat every night. Life with Harry was exactly the way it had been before the tape leaked. You laughed as he danced around the kitchen in the evenings while making dinner and swooned in the taste of his lips as he pushed your back into the counter waiting for the ding on the oven timer. You were happy, he was happy, but there was still something missing... something just didn't seem right. Harry was still slightly distant about parts of his day, where he was going, what he was doing, why he would leave the room for phone calls. You had originally talked it up as stress with tour planning, but it wasn't that. He was keeping secrets...and you didn't like that.
You were lounging on the couch in one of Harry's shirts, scrolling through Netflix and hoping to find something that captured your attention. "Hey love, I'm heading to the studio for a bit." Harry walked in, phone to his ear and eyebrows furrowed together.
"I thought you were done recording?" you questioned, sitting up to meet his eyes.
His gaze dropped to the floor before he turned towards the kitchen. "Yeah...I uh.. I have some final cuts to run through."
You jumped up to follow him, "I thought we were going to spend the day together? You know since you have been working so much lately?"
"Ahh, well yes we will but once I'm done with this one thing."
"Harry." You crossed your arms and stared into the green eyes you loved so much.
"I'm sorry babe. We will spend the rest of the day together when I get home and I have a surprise planned too." He winked before pulling the door to the garage open.
"What kind of surprise?" You questioned, following him out of the house.
"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"
"Harry..." you whined, stomping your foot as if you were a toddler pouting about not getting a cookie before dinner.
Harry smiled, walked over and placed a warm kiss on your forehead, forcing you to meet his gaze with a gentle lift of the chin. "Now now love, don't be dramatic. You're going to love it. I think. I hope." He kissed your lips softly and smiled. "Now I'd love to stay and kiss you some more....but the later I leave, the later I return."
You kissed him and pulled him into a hug with a sigh. "Fine."
Harry chuckled and kissed you once more before climbing in the car. "I love you."
"I love you too." You watched as he pulled out of the driveway before sprinting back inside to where Harry kept his laptop. Something was going on and you wanted in on the action. Harry's laptop sprung to life as you anxiously tapped the space bar 100 times. You typed his password and clicked enter only to get the incorrect notification. You sighed. Why had he changed the password. You pulled out the desk drawers and sighed, there was nothing even remotely interesting in them. You looked through his planner and calendar and still nothing. You were out of luck. You leaned back in his office chair and spun around, chewing the bottom of your lip. There has to be something... You grabbed your phone and called the first person who came to mind. "Louis."
"Goodness love, what do you need now." Louis' voice called from the other end.
"What's Harry's laptop password?"
"Why do you need that?" Louis chuckled more interested in the conversation now.
"I uh...I need to do some work."
"What's wrong with yours?" Louis teased.
"Sure it is." Louis laughed again and you knew he was rolling his eyes.
"Please Lou, what's the password?"
"Why do you think I know?"
"Because you know Harry. You know what hes doing and what he thinks about."
"Sorry girlie, but I dont have anything for ya."
"What are you really trying to figure out?"
"Okay then I've got to go-"
"No wait. Fine." You sighed and leaned your head back. "I want to know what hes planning. Wheres hes at right now."
"You dont trust him?" Louis teased again.
"He's hiding something Louis. I know he is."
"Maybe. But still, that's not the way to find out."
"You know. You know what hes been up to."
"Now now love, no I don't."
"Ive got to go love, just be patient."
"Patient? What does that mean? Louis what-" The phone went dead and you groaned in frustration. Something was for sure going on. You contemplated your options. You could follow Harry. You could go confront Louis. You could try a couple more passwords before locking Harry out of his computer. None really pleased you though. Instead you called another lifeline.
The phone rang, and rang, and rang before the voice finally breathed a hello on the other end. "Liam!"
"(y/n)... what uh what can I do for you?"
"You mean I can't just call my friend?"
"No..well yeah, of course you can. But you normally don't so what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I'll be there in 5." You smiled and jumped up from the chair.
"Yeah, yeah. See you soon."
You ran downstairs and waited anxiously by the door until Liams car pulled in the driveway. You met him at the door with a smile and a big hug. "Thank you for coming!"
"So what's the problem? Are you okay? Is Harry okay?" Liam looked anxiously around.
Liam breathed a sigh of relief before turning his attention back to you. "Then what's the problem?"
"Well....." you dove into the story of Harry's behavior and the surprise, the change in his computer password, and your uncertain feeling about him hiding something.
"(y/n)...You know Harry loves you-"
"I know but with everything that happened I just feel like something is off." Liam bit his lip and looked away. "You know." you poked him in the chest. "you know what he's hiding."
"Liam Payne. Tell me now."
Liam sighed, running his hand through his hair. "I can't."
"Just trust me okay? Hes not hiding anything, I mean he is but its nothing bad." Liam turned back towards the car. "I have to go."
"LIAM!" you screamed. "What do you think youre doing?"
"No buts. Trust him and let it all play out. I can't be involved in this."
"That's what Louis told me." You crossed your arms and glared. "Youre supposed to be the good one."
Liam laughed and waved before climbing in the car. "Love you."
"Yeah yeah, love you too." You turned back to the house as he pulled away. Left with your endless thoughts and questions about everything.
You were sprawled out on the couch lost in thought when the door opened. "Hello?"
You sat up confused until Niall walked into view. "Niall?"
Niall smiled and ran to you for a hug, tackling you back to the couch. "Ive missed you." His arms closed around you and breathed in the cologne he always wore.
"What are you doing here?" You asked slightly confused.
"Well I just wanted to come and check in. We haven't really talked much lately. How are things with Harry?"
You dove into your explanation and watched Niall take it all in. He didn't seem to have as much info as the other boys. When you had finished explaining your feelings and concerns he smiled and shook his head with a small chuckle escaping his lips. "What?" you asked smiling and pushing his shoulder back. "Why are you laughing?"
"(y/n) Harry loves you more than anything else in this world. You shouldn't be worried."
"I'm not worried....I just feel like hes keeping something from me."
"Harry is keeping something from you." Niall repeated again, scrolling through the channels looking for golf.
"And you know that because?"
"I talk to him pretty frequently."
Anger flared and you took the remote out of his hands. "Why not?"
"Because its not my thing to share. It's Harry's."
"(y/n) seriously its a good thing."
"Pleaseeeeeeeee" you grabbed his hands and gave your best sad face.
Niall smiled and tapped his finger to your nose. "I can't tell you. Harry would kill me." Niall stood up and laughed, and you would be really upset if I ruined the surprise.
"Yes you would." Niall grabbed his jacket.
"Where are you going?" you whined.
"I'm going home to watch golf and work on the new album. You have a date to get ready for anyways." You looked at the time on the tv. Niall was right, Harry would be home in an hour and you were still in the pjs you had worn the night before. "Let me know how it goes." Niall wrapped you in a hug and smiled softly, lost in another thought.
Once Niall had left you ran upstairs, jumping in a hot shower and pulling out outfits. You landed on a cute sundress, sandals, and left your hair down with gentle curls. You fixed your make up and smiled at the appearance in the mirror. You heard the door downstairs open and headed towards the stairs. "Harry?"
"Hey love." His deep voice called up. "Ready to go?" You met him in the kitchen, a gasp escaping your lips. Harry was in a suit, his hair slicked back, and a bouquet of roses in his hands. His shirt was unbuttoned, leaving the slightest view of the tattoos on his chest. Harry was biting his lip, looking you up and down with a smile. The blush in your cheeks got darker as he approached and placed a kiss on your nose. "You look stunning."
"Uh... you... thanks...I mean so do you." Sometimes you forgot the effects the boy had on you.
Harry laughed and tilted your chin up, his lips meeting yours. "Thank you my love."
Harry handed you the flowers and took your other hand pulling you towards the garage. "Where are we going?"
"Really. Now come on." He opened the door for you and you climbed in, nervously twirling a piece of hair.
Harry smiled and leaned in for a kiss and you met his with a soft sigh. "Ready to tell me?" He just laughed and started driving.
After a decent drive, you arrived at a small park. It looked oddly familiar, but yet something was still a little different. Harry grinned, knowing you still weren't sure what was happening. He jumped out, opened the door, helped you out and smiled. "Know where we are?"
You looked around, a small pond down the trail catching your eyes. You nodded and grinned. "This is the park we went to that night. The night that you first told me you loved me." Harry nodded, pulling your hand and leading you down the path, away from the public and somewhere that seemed more remote. You laughed, thinking of the night. "I thought you were going to kill me that night."
"Kill you?" Harry scoffed, a laugh forming in his smile.
"It's not everyday a guy takes you into the woods, away from people, and out of reach of like anything."
"I like remote places. Theres only one thing to focus on when im there. You." He tapped your nose and you smiled. Harry placed his hands around your eyes and you grinned at the anticipation.
"That's the point. Cant ruin the surprise quite yet." You walked a little farther and Harry stopped. "Okay love close your eyes."
"But I already can't see."
"Just do it." You closed your eyes and Harry removed his hands, stepping away. "Open them."
Your eyes fluttered open and your mouth dropped. Lights were strung throughout the trees leading to the creek. Harry was leaning nervously against the tree, the one where everything had began. The one that had a carved out heart with your initials. The one where he had pushed you back into and kissed you, telling you that you were his one and only love. You walked forward in awe, and Harry reached for your hand. You grabbed it and opened your mouth, "Haz..."
"(Y/n), you were my first real love, the person I wanted to spend forever with. You stood by me at my worst. You made me better. I know the past has been rocky, and I know theres a lot that we are still figuring out, but theres one thing that I know for sure will never change. You. You are the sunshine on a dark day. You are the best thing to ever happen to me. My rock, my cuddle bug, my best friend." Harry took a step back and nervously dropped to one knee, pulling out a box.
"(Y/N) I want to marry you. Will you please be in my life forever and make me the happiest man? Please marry me love."
You nodded and Harry smiled but kept going. "I'm going to need an actual answer dear. (Y/n) be my forever. Will you please marry me?"
"Yes" you nodded through the tears. Harry smiled, slipped the ring on your finger and tackled you in the biggest bear hug. He spun you around, your back hitting the tree and his lips landing on yours. Your fingers tangled in the curls and his teeth lightly tugged on your lip.
"I want you." Harry growled, his fingers slipping into the shirt you were wearing.
"You already have me." You giggled.
"That's not what I meant." You could feel him growing in his pants.
"Take me." You whispered in his ear.
"Oh I will, Mrs. Styles." Harry tugged the shirt off and you laughed pushing him lightly away for a minute.
"Sure you dont want to record this as a sex tape?" You teased.
Harry rolled his eyes and tugged his clothes off. "Good one." He snorted pulling your body back to his. "I dont need a tape." He kissed you softly. "Im never going to lose this, forget this, or need anything else. The other guys would kill me anyways."
"Were they all in on this?"
"Oh yes. They are in the parking lot waiting with champagne."
"Shhh....They can wait, I need you now."
Finally Done! What did you think?
