Behind The Camera - Wroetoshaw

Our Defining Moment (15)

The time is 7pm and everyone is sitting on the outdoor entertainment area. Josh and Vik are telling us stories about when they were living in the Sidemen house. 

"I remember when we did the Sidemen punishments video and Harry got his dick out on the pool table!" Josh explains. The group was engaging in the conversation and sharing other memories. The vibe was amiable. Everyone smiling and laughing until tears were streaming down their face. Their hands gesturing objects and movements with a glass of champagne in the other. I sat back and observed the group. There is so many years of laughter, love and true friendship in front of me. I look at Talia and Simon cuddled up together sharing a blanket. I'm so happy for the both of them and everything they have accomplished in their lives. They offered me a place to stay before truly getting to know me. They give me really great advice when I need it and above all, they have been there for me no matter what. I feel Harry's arm pull me tighter into our cuddle and he looks down to me.

"You alright? You look upset" He rubs my shoulder with his hand.

"Its beautiful seeing everyone like this, no cameras just us and our true selves. Even though we're ourselves on camera, being private and having nights like these really shows how close we all are." I smile. He nods his head in agreement and kisses my forehead. 

"I have something planned for us actually" he whispers. I look up at him and smirk. We both get up and I follow him up to the top floor of the boat. 

"Harry. This is so beautiful" I feel tears pooling in my eyes. The table has flowers and candles on it with a bottle of champagne. The railings are intertwined with fairy lights and vines. I look over to the day bed and see its folded out with blankets and cushions on top of it. I put my hand over my mouth in shock, I don't think I have ever seen a more romantic setup than this.

"Everyone is going back to the holiday house for the night, but we are staying here" He grabs my waist standing behind me.

"I didn't realise how much of a romantic person you could be" I chuckle.

"For a special someone, I'll make an effort" He pulls me in tighter to him. I turn around and face him. His eyes sparkling from the reflection of the fairy lights. I kiss him with the most passion I ever have before. He went out of his way to plan something special just for the two of us. He knew how much I would love this gesture and it made me fall for him even more. Harry grabs the bottle of champagne and we lay down on the day bed. He pops the bottle open and I slightly squeal from the cork flying into the air. We hear everyone gathering their things and leaving downstairs. 

"Look at the stars." I point into the dark sky filled with shining stars. "Did you know that a star roughly lives for about 10 billion years before it dies" I rest my head on Harry's chest looking up at the sky. "It's kind of sad because for 10 billion years they watch the world change and evolve over time while they slowly die."

"I love how you know small facts like that, and I love how you word certain things" Harry runs his fingers through my hair and holding my hand with the other. "One thing I noticed about you from the start is how passionate you are about the things you believe in. Your determined and confident. You're this strong independent woman who is successful and beyond sexy" Harry bites his lip. "I admire you and everything you do" He grips my hand tighter. I sit up and place my hand on his chest above his heart. 

"You're heart. Its one of the most important things about your body. It pumps blood, oxygen and nutrients around your body every second of everyday." I place my other hand on the side of his head, rubbing my fingers through his hair. "And your brain. it controls emotion, movement and above all, knowledge. Without your heart or your brain you wouldn't be alive which is what makes them so valuable to us and if you were alive without one of them, it would be miserable." We are staring into each other's eyes. Harry is smiling and understanding each and every word I say with depth. "I know with all of my brain and all of my heart, you're my future. You're my happiness, my strength, my courage and my determination." Harry puts his hand on my cheek and I see a tear roll down his face. He is the type of person to be private and keep his feelings to himself but I could see that I make him vulnerable, just as he makes me.

"Everything your saying is everything I'm feeling. I don't have a poetic way of words like you do, I don't have a way of telling you how much I want to be with you" Another tear rolls down his cheek and he takes a deep breath in. I smile uncontrollably and blush. He pulls me in for a kiss and it feels so real. We both feel the exact same way about each other and we always will. He rolls me over so I'm laying down and he is above me. I start lifting his shirt up as he starts unbuttoning my shorts. I have never felt an emotional connection with someone like I do with Harry. He reaches over to the table next to the day bed and flips a switch. All of the fairy lights go out and the only light surrounding us is the buildings and neon signs in Dubai. I wrap my legs around him and pull him closer to me. There is a slight breeze in the air but its cold. I feel myself get goosebumps on my arms and legs. He moves his hands up my legs and around my thighs. His touch is warm and comfortable. Harry leans back and takes his shirt off. My hair slightly in my face from the wind and my eyes focused on the boy in front of me.

"You really are one of a kind" I blush admiring his body. He grins and takes my shirt off. He kisses my neck and moves down to my chest. I let out a small moan which makes him untie my bikini top and take it off. I was exposed but so relaxed and comfortable at the same time. I have never been freely open with my body but I know he appreciates and accepts me for who I am. I reach down and start to untie his shorts. He places a pillow behind my head and I look up at him.

"Just protecting that beautiful brain of yours" He grins. Every couple has a defining moment when they know they have found their soulmate and this is ours. This was our defining moment and we both knew it...
