"I just feel like we're not getting anywhere right now, Hailey. I mean, in two and a half years I've never felt so loved and so happy. But I also just want to know if he's been thinking about the future and what it has in store for us. Will he still see me with him in five years? Maybe even with family?" you wondered.


All your thoughts were true. Those were things you've been thinking about for the past few months. Those were things that kept you up at night. You loved Harry, you did, but the two of you had never really talked about your future together."Honey, I'm sure he did. But remember, he's been a little busy lately. Didn't he?" Hailey smiled over the rim of her coffee mug.


She was right. Harry had been working hard lately. He'd gotten a little bored around the house after the band agreed to take a break for a while. He had struggled for a while to find something to do. After releasing a new album and never making any plans for a tour or tour dates, they just broke up for a while. Harry was in crisis for a few months. He would accompany you on your trips to the grocery store just to get out of the house. Until he decided to write some of his stuff.


Since then, he'd met his new crew and band in the studios, had songs written, and tested beats and melodies that would go with them."Let's just hope that if he's thought about asking you to marry him, he cuts his hair before the wedding. It's starting to look a little...shabby." Hailey giggled. You laughed with her at her comment. "Thank God it looked good for a while. It still looks good to me, but it needs a cut," you admitted.


"Maybe you should just ask him about it," she suggested, "just ask him what he sees coming next and if you fit in." She smiled. You listened to her suggestion and nodded while staring out the cafe window."You're right, I guess I just have to ask him," you snort. Hailey started laughing across the table. "What are you laughing at? Hm?" you wondered, kicking her shin out from under the table."Ow! Nothing!" She laughed."Anyway, you nutcase." You giggle.


After you and Hailey finished your visit to the coffee shop, you called Harry on the way home."Hello beautiful," Harry's voice roared through the phone."Hello handsome, what are you doing?" you were wondering"I just finished writing a few songs for the album. Maybe we'll be home soon, maybe we can have an early dinner and take a romantic bath? Hm?"That sounds wonderful. Do I need to get some wine?"No, we should still have the bottle your mother sent us." How was Hailey?" he wondered.


"She was good. She and Matt bought a puppy and said we had to come over and see him." You giggle."Yes? Maybe we can visit her tomorrow."A bit of silence fell over the phone as you reached for your house key."Babe, I don't want to leave you anytime soon, but I have a few things to do before I go home," Harry spoke."Okay, I'll finish the wine. Would you stop and grab some Chinese food on the way home?" Sure baby," he chuckled, "I gotta go, Babe. I'll see you soon. I love you. "I love you too," you mumbled and hung up.


...


You set up everything that you will later need for the bathroom. A candle that smelled like vanilla and one of Harry's favourite lavender bath bombs. As you laid out the towels for you both to dry off, a voice spoke up."Your gift is here."


You turned and smiled at your boyfriend who was leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest. His hair was in a bun on top of his head.

"Hello handsome," you smiled, wrapping your arms around him in a tight hug

"Hello handsome," you smiled, wrapping your arms around him in a tight hug."I missed you today, Babe." He whispered into your hair. "I missed you too," you smiled and kissed his chin."Let's go eat, okay?"


As the two of you came down the stairs, Harry poured you both a glass of wine and lit the candle that was on the kitchen table."Candlelight dinner with Chinese food. Seems very romantic." You laughed."It's the best I could do, love." Harry laughed.


As you both ate your early dinner, Harry told you what happened in the studio that day. He told you everything was going great up until the album and they had a few more songs written."Why did you write a song about a fruit?" 

He laughs, "I don't know."

Harry undressed you first and helped you into the tub before undressing and entering across from you.


"That feels good," he smiled across the tub."Mmm." You hummed."Are you feeling alright, Y/N? You've been pretty quiet tonight." He wondered. His eyebrows were furrowed with a worried look on his face."Yeah, I'm just... Think." You whispered."About," he grinned as he brushed his foot up to your leg. You sat in silence for a minute pondering what you were going to say. How do you want to address it?


"Do you sometimes think about the future?"Harry sat up in the tub, eyebrows furrowed as a confused expression crossed his face."Yes? All the time." Are you thinking of us? Our future?" you asked, turning your head to meet his gaze."Yes, babe."Harry, what are we doing? Where is this going?" You burst."Y/N, I-"


"For example, when you think about the future, do you see us together? How? married?"Harry's eyes widened. Never in your two and a half years of relationship did you ever mention that you were getting married. Sure, he'd thought about it countless times. But he never thought you would bring up the subject.


"Y-you want to... get married?" He whispered. He was shocked."Do you?" You asked. Harry fell silent. He didn't know what to say. He had imagined this conversation differently. Maybe about pillow talk and maybe a little bit sweeter. Maybe even followed by a little lovemaking.


"That's what I thought. Just forget it." You mumbled as you tried to get out of the tub."No. No. Sit down." Harry demanded, grabbing your wrist to stop you. His demeanour wasn't harsh, but he was still determined.


"I want to marry. I do. I think about it all the time. I don't know, I get nervous just thinking about it. I love you Y/n I do. And I want nothing more than to marry you, but I didn't think it would be so soon." He showed off. You started feeling bad for pushing the issue. He admitted to you that he thought about it. And you felt terrible for being so hard.


"Harry, I'm so sorry." You whispered. "I just wanted to know what you think. If you think about it." It's okay, babe," he smiled. His lips pursed into a line. Harry leaned forward and slid towards you through the water. He grabbed your legs and wrapped them around his waist. Your arms wrapped around his neck as he planted a gentle kiss on your lips.


"Let's go dating for another year and we'll see how we feel about getting married. Trust me I want to marry you I've known it from the start," he whispered, pressing his forehead against yours, "but let's have a little more fun being boyfriend and girlfriend together before we decide to spend the rest of our lives together."


You giggled as his hands squeezed your waist and tickled you underwater."I promise Babe, we're going to get married. And when we do that, it can be anything you want it to be. We can have what you want. We can go where you want for our honeymoon and stay as long as you want. Just give me some time."I love you so much, Harry." You whispered."I love you too, Babe." He smiled.


"What do you mean we finish this bath and then put this little party to bed? Feel like I'm taking care of you tonight."Please, babe. I wouldn't love anything more."


...

I think that you could imagine what the next step in this relationship will be and with that, I will sort of end this book here and then you will find out in the next book how the relationship between Harry and yourself continues in this case.

For starters, I hope that you liked this short book, as I said, because the chapters are relatively informative and accordingly have a lot of content, I hope that the short book is enough for you to float in your imagination enough. If you have any suggestions for the upcoming books, please write them to me. You are also welcome to write to me if you have any requests.
