Blinded by You

Sixty Eight-

Song: Night Changes- One Direction

Harry's POV:

"Before we were together, the world was black and white. And then we swoop in in screaming color. I just feel like people will think we're not really in love."

"Do you not think we're really in love?" I countered. I could sense her hesitance and felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach.

"I do," she replied after a few seconds. "Sometimes it's just hard to wrap my head around everything we've been through and you're still wanting to be with me and I'm still wanting to be with you. It's just crazy how all this happened."

"I know it all seems crazy," I agreed. It was crazy. Not the fact that we were together, but the fact I was in love with her so much. I hadn't loved anyone like this since....well, you get the idea. "But that's what makes it so special. It's times like this, where we're sitting together, just the two of us." The water rippled around the droplets falling from her fingers as I pulled her hand to my mouth for a small kiss.

"I feel so crazy," she sighed, leaning against my shoulder. Moving her hair to her left shoulder, my hands gripped her shoulders lightly.

"Don't," I murmured, running my nose along her right shoulder and where it met her long, elegant neck. I could feel her pulse quicken and a smile spread across my face as I trailed light kisses across her skin. "You're not crazy. You are absolutely amazing." It was almost as if I was a match, her skin being kerosene and together, we were both set alight.

"You're the amazing one," she chuckled as my fingertips moved across her stomach lower and lower into the water.

Watching her as she slept, it was a magical thing. Her slow, rhythmic breathing kept me calm and her warm palm was splayed across my chest; fingers twitching from time to time. It was crazy to think we'd been in each other's lives for two years and had gone through so much together and apart. She'd grown so much and flourished into an even more beautiful person than she had been before we met.

Getting up, I pulled on a pair of boxers and walked down the hall to the office we had, sitting down at the desk and turning the small lamp on. I had to write my vows and now, at 2:37 in the morning, seemed a good a time as any. She was the kind of girl who could make you think your life was not complete unless she was in it. Or at least, every time I wasn't around her, I felt that way. I had changed her just as much as she had changed me. It's a sickening, scary thing, love is. To give yourself to someone so completely. To let them know your innermost thoughts, fantasies, and secrets. To know how they smile when all they want to do is cry or just by one look know when they want to leave wherever you are.

The type of love Ellen and I have is a rare and special kind of love, just as that woman said. It's all consuming. It engulfs me like a warm blanket on a cold winters night. There is nothing I wouldn't do to forever see her smile and laugh and see her hair shine underneath the sunlight. The love that we share, truly is, a once in a lifetime love. When I was around her, I had myself together, she calmed me. When we were apart, I was a wreck and I only hoped I affected her the same way. Taking a deep breath, I began to write.

Love is a scary thing. It's like walking up the stairs in the dark and thinking there's one more step than there is and falling. It adjusts the way you think of things. My mother always told me "Harry, if she doesn't scare the hell out of you, she's not the one." Well, my love, you scare me. In all the right ways, of course. I don't know where I would be without you. Your smile energizes me like a battery and your spirit makes me fall more and more in love with you each day. There should be eight wonders of the world because you are most certainly one.

When I look at you, I see everything I want to be. You challenge me, love me, grow with me, and I couldn't ask for a better woman to be giving my heart to in exchange for her last name. You are a gem. One of a kind rarity that anyone is lucky to have in their lives. You are a limited edition. I promise to always love you even when your feet are cold, your hair is greasy, and you haven't showered in a few days because you're ill. I promise to always hold you with the most tender of arms and never let you forget that you are a force to be reckoned with. I promise to argue over who is the best baker and have flour fights at 3 am in the kitchen and end up making store-bought brownies. I promise to love you with an eternal flame that will never die and to show you how much I love you each and everyday.

I promise to be there for you no matter what is going on. I promise to always call your heart home and know that no matter what brings us apart, we will always find our way back to each other.

Walking out of the office with a sigh, I tiptoed down the hall and crawled back into bed, Ellen latching onto me once again. I thought I would never be able to find another love like what Louis and I had, but in turn, I found something even better. Ellen. In that moment, lying there with her, skin to skin, I knew I was marrying her for all the right reasons and many more.

Hey guys! I just want to thank you for all these reads. It really means a lot that people still read Blinded By You and even keep up with this story. I wanted to take a moment to just thank you all for the such wonderful feedback you've given me on both stories and for putting up with my shitty updates. I'm an athlete, I have a 3 year old nephew, etc. Things get pretty hectic sometimes, but I update whenever I find the time to and I always feel so excited when I see the reads go up, or someone comments.

I know this chapter is short, but I wanted to give a little more insight to just how much Ellen effects Harry and I wanna know what you guys think!!!

Keep reading, commenting, voting and sharing!!

All my love
