Surprises
Harry had been hyping up this date for weeks on end, telling you how much you were going to love it and how excited he was to finally be able to take you to this place. The thing was of course, he wasn’t going to tell you anything about it.
He woke you up early in the morning, kissing all over your cheeks, forehead, nose, and then finally your lips. You groaned and tried to playfully push him away, telling him it was too early to even think of moving. He laughed and leaned down, carefully picking you up into his arms. “Now darling, didn’t I tell you that today was going to be very important? We’re finally going to go on that date I’ve been telling you about!” His excited tone and the wide grin on his face was enough to make you smile and agree with a sleepy nod of your head, letting your body relax into his arms as he carried you downstairs and into the kitchen where he had already made your breakfast and put it at your seat at the table.
You whined childishly when he started to put you down, a chuckle rumbling in his chest when you tried to hold onto him. You kept shaking your head and tugging at the material of his shirt when he would try to put you down, only resulting in him obliging and sitting in your chair with you sat comfortably in his lap. He jokingly called you his baby, kissing your temple and asking if you needed to be fed as well. You smiled sheepishly, looking up at him with a glint of mischief in your eye as you nodded. Needless to say, you both spent the morning feeding each other your pancakes.
As your morning went on and you prepared for your date, Harry made sure to tell you to dress for being outdoors and to not forget your raincoat just incase. You quickly cleaned yourself up, changing into some nicer clothes and putting a little bit of makeup on before you were ready to head out the door. As you descended the stairs, your lovely boyfriend was grinning at you with such admiration that you could feel yourself becoming extremely bashful. He told you how absolutely gorgeous you looked, and asked how it was possible for you to grow more beautiful each day. He was smitten with you and wouldn’t hesitate to tell you or anyone else that fact.
The two of you finally left after he picked up his keys from the hanger in the coat closet, pulling out your red raincoat and his own black one. He opened every door for you, being an absolute gentleman in every way as always. He was by far the most amazing man you had ever had the pleasure to call your own. During the car ride, Harry explained that the two of you were going to be tourists for the day. You were going to go to every main attraction, take a thousand photos, and just spend the day with each other. But of course there would be more surprises later, he couldn’t tell you everything.
“What’s the fun in that?” He would say when you asked if he could tell you the other surprises. You couldn’t help but roll your eyes. You had already known that there would ve more surprises later, there always are with Harry. When you arrived in the main area of the city, Harry opened your door again and bowed dramatically, adding in a little “m'lady” just to hear you laugh at how silly he was. You shut the door and took his hand into yours, walking alongside him to see every little shop and museum around, taking silly photos of each other in all of the different places and asking strangers on the street if they could take some of the two of you together.
As you carried on through your day, Harry had grabbed ahold of your hand again, an eager smile on his face as he led you to the London Eye. “So I may have forgotten to mention… the Eye is actually closed today, but I made some calls and got us in on our own.” Your jaw had dropped slightly as you turned to look up at him. It was rare for Harry to use his name to get special treatment, he didn’t like to think of himself as any better than anyone else when he went out. You couldn’t stop telling him how excited you were, the excitment on your face and in your voice making Harry smile.
When you finally got into the small capsule, you held onto his arm tightly, taking in your surroundings as you slowly rose higher and higher. “Let me get a few pictures, yeah?” Harry mumbled as he moved away a bit. You nodded softly, your attention still fully focused on the city around you. You heard him fumble around a bit before he cleared his throat to regain your attention, but when you turned to face him he wasn’t standing in front of you with a camera held up. Instead he was knelt down with his hands shaking, his grandmother’s engagement ring being held up to you.
“I, um… told you there would be some more surprises.” He laughed nervously under his breath. He started to tell you about how much he loved you, even from the very second you met. He told you about how you had changed his life, made him happier than anyone else ever had. He even reminded you of some of your favorite shared moments together since you had started dating.
“I’m so in love with you… Have been for a while now. I don’t know what I’d do without you at this point. So I think what I’m trying to say in all this… I want to spend forever with you. I want to love you for the rest of my life. Could you give me the privilege of that? Please? Would you please marry me?”
