I once again woke up wrapped in the arms of a very sleepy harry lewis who was actually awake before me today which was very surprising i turned over onto my side and tickled the boys chest with my nails " good morning" he said with a huge smile on his face kissing the top of my head softly. " good morning harry" i whispered staring up at the boy and taking in all of his beauty.
" i was wondering if you'd like to go on a date today" harry blurted out scratching the back of his neck nervously, i looked at him with a shocked expression on my face " do you mean like an actual date date or just like two friends going out for the day" i replied, he looked at me and laughed " no i mean like a date date because let's be honest we've been acting more like a couple than anything", i nodded my head in agreement " okay let's go on a date" i said whilst sliding out of the bed and walking towards the bathroom. I took a quick shower and washed my hair once out i started getting dressed for our date harry had gone back to his apartment to get changed and he had told me to dress practical not too fancy but not too underdressed which was a very hard look for me.
it was a hot day in london so i decided to tie my hair in a bun and plop a pair of sunglasses on my head i wore a blue cropped jumper and a white skirt i snapped a quick picture and posted it onto my instagram before texting harry and letting him know i was ready.
my heart skipped a beat hearing harry call me stunning i know it shouldn't but it just felt nice i guess? i grabbed my phone and bag before going to check up on poppy as usual she was still fast asleep i nudged her shoulder slightly and let her know i was going out with harry all i got was a simple grunt in response and i quietly left the girl to go back to sleep. Harry arrived shortly after and we both walked down to his car surprisingly harry was driving today which was a change " woah is mister harry lewis actually going to drive?" i questioned the boy, he looked at me and rolled his eyes " i can fucking drive you know" we both burst out into a fit of laughter who knows what we found so funny about that.
The journey was long maybe 2 hours or so, i had no idea where we were going but harry's hand stayed firmly on my thigh only taking it away when he needed to change gears or turn the music up i was loving all of this attention but most of all i just loved spending time with him.
We had finally arrived at our destination after what seemed like forever and to my surprise we had pulled up to the most gorgeous beach " oh wow harry this is stunning" i said with the biggest smile on my face before turning over to the boy and planting a small kiss on his soft lips, " i'm glad you like it i packed you a swimming suit so we can go into the sea" he replied with the proudest look on his face. We both quickly changed into our swimsuits in the very cramped car before both running towards the water without a care in the world this honestly felt so so so magical.
We spent the majority of the afternoon in the water both having the time of our lives harry having dunked me down quite a few times and me splashing him every single time. I didn't want this feeling to end i honestly felt so so free just floating in the ocean with one of my most favourite people in this world what more could you want? harry must had seen i was thinking as he floated over to me " what's up you look very deep into thought" he asked wrapping his arms around me, i looked at the boy and smiled " i'm just thinking about how happy i am right in this moment and how happy you make me feel" i blurted out before realising how deep i had gone. Harry pulled me in for the biggest hug and whispered into my ear " you make me the happiest" i honestly felt like i was flying i have never met a man like harry before he was so crazy yet so loving at the same time i had really hit the jackpot.
Once we had finally left the water harry wrapped a towel around us both and i snapped a quick photo " can i post this on my instagram story" i asked showing the boy my phone screen " yeah of course don't see why not" he replied whilst shrugging his shoulders.
We both decided to call it a day since we were both absolutely knackered from the night before, before heading back to my flat we picked up a nando's for us and poppy since i'd abandoned her all day once again. Once back inside the flat we were greeted with not only poppy but ethan as well and they both looked very cosy with eachother. I coughed as loudly as i could to make them aware someone was here and they both moved away from eachother pretty quickly " sooo what's this i see" i point at both of them, they both look at eachother with an uncomfy look " oh nothing were just hanging out" poppy replied just as she said that harry let out the loudest laugh ever " yeah that's like me and ophelia saying we just hang out" i looked at the boy and rolled my eyes " so are you two shagging then" i simply asked and all eyes darted on me " what" i replied. " i never thought i'd hear the word shagging come out of your mouth" harry said in a very over dramatic way.
Once we had all gotten over the fact ethan and poppy were alone in our flat we then discussed what they were and found out they were also friends with benefits just like me and harry well i think me and harry are still friends with benefits? i'll be sure to ask him about that once we're tucked up in bed. The nando's had been consumed and ethan decided to go home for the night i guess he felt embarrassed about the fact he had been caught by his own bestfriend and poppy's bestfriend, i said goodnight to poppy letting her know that tomorrow we were spending the whole day catching up without any boys interference which she agreed to and she had texted ethan letting him know that they couldn't see eachother tomorrow and harry was in the same room when we discussed it so he already knew.
We were both finally snuggled up in bed and i finally decided to ask harry what we actually were " harry i have a question" i said whilst playing with the boys hair, he looked up at me " alright go ahead what is it?" he smiled. " are we still strictly friends with benefits or are we more?" i replied watching the boy waiting for a response, he sat up and took ahold of my hand " i don't wanna be just friends with benefits anymore i want you to be my girlfriend more than anything". i looked at him and smiled " is that you asking me to be your girlfriend" i laughed, he scratched the back of his neck " urm yeah it is" i looked at the boy and rolled my eyes " of course i'll be your girlfriend" i placed my lips on his and passionately kissed the boy and soon enough all of our clothes were scattered across the bedroom floor and we were in a big sweaty heap.
