Looking at Harry, Louis could feel the regret creeping up on him like it had been doing for the past week after his fight with Harry. Louis knew that what he had said had been wrong and he didn’t blame Harry for ignoring him but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
Louis looked over at Harry again and found him looking back but Harry averted his eyes once he realised he had been caught staring by Louis.
Louis let out a defeated sigh. He wished things would go back to normal. He wished Harry would come back to their shared apartment instead of staying with his friend Nick and he wished they could go back to sharing cuddles and secret kisses without anyone else knowing. As much as he wished this could happen, Louis knew it would never be and all because of something he had said when he was stressed out and tired.
Louis saw Harry make his way out of the club and decided to follow him out. Maybe they could talk it out. Maybe Louis could make things right before Christmas, which was in three days.
Louis could see Harry getting into his car so he increased his pace and was soon beside him. “Harry wait!”
Harry looked up at him and glared. “What do you want Louis? I thought you realised that I didn’t exactly want to talk to you.”
“Listen Harry, I know I messed up really badly but you know I didn’t mean what I said. I was stressed out and frustrated and I took it out on you. I know that’s no excuse but please just give me another chance”, said Louis with a pleading voice.
“You can’t really expect me to give you another chance just like that after what you said, do you?” snapped Harry, a harsh glare still present on his face.
Louis winced at hearing that. Of course he hadn’t expected Harry to give in so easily but it was worth a try. “I wasn’t expecting you to just forgive me but please Harry, just tell me what I can do to make it up to you and I swear I’ll do it”, pleaded Louis.
“You can’t do anything to make up for what you said Louis. You hurt me and there’s nothing you can say to fix that. Nothing in the world could hurt me as much as hearing you say that you think Eleanor is much better than me did”, said Harry, avoiding Louis’ gaze.
Harry got into his car and drove away before Louis could even reply. Louis knew that it was time for drastic measures to be taken.
*****************************
Louis was nervous as hell but he was also very determined. He hoped that what he had planned would make Harry realise that he truly was sorry for what he had said and that he loved him and only him.
Louis breathed in deeply then raised his hand and knocked on the door. He desperately hoped Harry would be the one to answer the door and not Nick. Fortunately, his prayers were answered and after a few seconds, Harry himself opened the door and came face to face with Louis who by now was close to freaking out with nerves.
Harry was about to slam the door in his face as soon as he saw who was behind the door but Louis, who was expecting this, pushed the door with his hand, preventing Harry from closing it. Harry, knowing he was defeated, let out a sigh.
“What do you want Louis?” he said with a frown on his face.
“I want you to listen to me and listen very clearly”, said Louis, trying hard to keep his voice from shaking. “I love you Harry, I really do. I told you that Eleanor is better than you and I’ve been regretting that moment ever since it happened because that is one big lie. Eleanor is just a girl management is making me date for appearance. You, on the other hand, are the one I love with all my heart. I know I made a mistake but hopefully this will lessen some of the pain I made you feel.”
With that, Louis got down on one knee in front of a very surprised Harry and, with his heart beating fast, got out a small box from his pants’ pocket. With shaking hands, Louis opened the small box revealing a beautiful ring that had Harry gasping.
“I love you Harry. I know that what happened might have caused you to doubt how much this is true but hopefully, this ring will prove to you that I really do love you. I can’t live without you Harry, so please; will you do me the honour of marrying me?”
By the end of Louis’ speech Harry had tears in his eyes and with a loud yell of “Yes!” Harry jumped on Louis and proceeded in covering his face with kisses.
Louis let out a laugh and couldn’t help but let out a few tears of joy as well because this meant that Harry had forgiven him and Louis’ couldn’t have been happier. This was one of the best Christmas presents he could have received. Harry’s forgiveness and a yes to his marriage proposal.
A/N: I really hope you like this! Happy Christmas!! xx
