"It was absolutely nothing. I had no ties. No bittersweet memories. I was leaving nothing behind. Never experienced companionship, never been in love. And in that moment, all I felt was loneliness and regret."
But there's always a first time..
I laid back on the sheet on the grass and took a deep breath listening to the sound of water, birds and wind hitting on the leaves in the trees, seconds later I felt Harry's lips on mine, I smiled against his mouth and held his face "If they get us here...'' I let out a giggle ''Merlin is my security today.'' He sat next to me still staring at me, I rubbed his back and sat down "I ate too much, I think I'll wait to jump in the water.'' I looked at the waterfall that was shining with the sun's rays of that beautiful day, Harry ran his arm around me ''Do you know why yesterday bothered me so much?" He spoke softly, I rested my head on his shoulder, he took something in his pocket gave me a small black velvet bag, I looked confused to him and soon opened the box ''Harry...'' I smiled feeling my heart melting, it was a golden necklace with a butterfly pendant ''Is a polyommatus icarus, my favorite.'' He smiled ''Is beautiful! Tell me more about her..'' I smiled looking at that tiny pendant of a blue butterfly that shone as I moved against the sun ''It's a unique butterfly, for its striking color, they are interesting because they can adapt to any environment, cold, warm, dry, wet....'' He continued ''The males are totally blue, the females have orange spots on the wings.'' He explained, in a sweet voice and eyebrows a little arched as he looked at the pendant ''This is a male, then?'' I asked ''Yes, and this...'' He pulled from his pocket a box and soon knelt from my side, I looked frightened at him, who stared at me for a few seconds "I don't need to think more about it, and I can't lie and say that I haven't been planning this for a long time." He smiled nervous, I closed my eyes and waited to see the unfolding of the situation, feeling my heart beating my throat ''I don't want to waste time anymore..'' He opened the box, containing a ring of diamonds with a tiny butterfly, I began to cry right away and got up getting on my knees hugging his neck the strongest I could, he let out a delicious laugh and hugged me back ''A-are you sure?'' I pulled away cleaning the tears, Harry's smile at that moment was something that would be marked in my memory forever ''This is the easiest decision I'm going to take in my life..'' He raised his hand putting a piece of my hair behind my ear ''I never thought I would be interested in someone, but every day that passes you captivate me, at work, your skill, intelligence, I'm so proud to have you by my side.'' He continued ''The way you treat your friends, your maturity, there is nothing in you that today I don't love..'' He held my face, still with the box in his hand, the tears of happiness ran down my face, I loved him so much.
The smile of the man in front of me made me realize that I had never loved before, until today, it was a sense of belonging somewhere, and I know all these years of Harry's life, without having no connection to anyone, that decision was a huge deal.
''Please let me love you forever...'' He spoke softly and took the ring of the box ''Harry...'' I laughed underneath the crying ''I will not let you live a lonely life like I did, and I will not let myself live like this anymore...'' He smiled ''Will you marry me, please?'' He looked me in the eye, waiting for an answer, I looked at the ring and held his hand ''Harry, It's so early!'' I was still surprised and laughing ''I'm tired of waiting... I'm tired of wasting time..'' He spoke softly, looking at my mouth ''Mrs.hart...'' I said softly ''You're going to make me cry..'' He warned me laughing, I nodded, crying again ''Yes?" He asked in a crying voice, holding the tears ''Yes!'' I smiled and hugged him again before pressing our lips and melt with the smell of his skin, he caressed my backs before I pull away to put the ring on my finger ''It's so beautiful..'' I smiled looking at the ring and wiping my tears with the other hand "Did you like it?" He held my hand and kissed the ring ''I loved it..'' I smiled while holding his face ''I love you..'' I said it for the first time, without any doubt ''I love you..'' He smiled again and pressed his lips on mine, I ran my fingers in his hair that were a bit messy today ''I'm gonna get married!" I said loudly and got up, Harry let out a laugh and got up picking me up in the air making me let out a little scream of surprise and I hugged his neck.
I touched my feet to the floor and ran my hand down his neck to his chest, where the shirt was open leaving his chest exposed ''How do you feel?" I smiled as he rubbed my arms and then took my hands up to his face ''like I never did before...'' I pulled his face closer to mine and kissed him with all the love inside me. We took the rest of the afternoon to relax and enjoy each other's presence. _______________________________________________________
3 weeks later Narrator _______________________________________________________
''Lancelot!'' Merlin repeated twice against the computer, after everything went dark on the screen ''What happened?'' Egssy asked worried, Harry kept his silence waiting for an answer ''Something happened...'' Merlin tried any kind of contact and position on the map from where she was ''We lost her...'' Merlin said, having nothing to do ''Fuck! I don't know shit from Italy!'' Egssy complained nervously, trying to trace the last few steps she did on the map ''I'm going to arrange the jet!'' Merlin got up ''To where?'' Egssy said angrily, Merlin went silent without knowing where exactly they had to go ''Merlin, there has to be a way!'' Egssy spoke loudly ''It's the Italian mafia, I can try to find some bases.'' Merlin looked at the computer attentively, the mission was about entering a group of big people, in Tuscany, Italy, but everything had taken a new direction when one of the security guards recognized Lancelot, from previous missions, even though Merlin observed every step of Lancelot during the attempt to escape and try to eliminate them all, it was too late, she was already ambushed by the Italian mafia.
''Enough!'' Harry spoke loudly, making Merlin and Egssy be silent and turn their attention to him, Harry managed to turn on his phone ''I gave her a necklace 3 weeks ago...'' he turned the cell phone over for both of them, containing a traceable blue dot moving on the map ''Let's go get my fiancée!'' Harry said '' FIANCÉE?!'' Harry and Egssy spoke at the same time.
