The Moment I Knew(Sharry Trilogy Book3)

Promise

Harry's POV

Shai didn't want to be away from me and it was going to happen in just eight days. That was if my plan didn't work.

Last night was rough, but I loved how she felt comfort in my arms. I was sure we were past our problems now. Or at least close.

We were laying in the grass in her backyard as the sun was setting and I knew now was the time to ask the question.

"It's so nice being with you Shai." I say and look at her. She rolls onto her side and smiles at me.

"I wish this could last forever." She says and I sit up.

"It could." I say and she sits up confused. "Shai I want you to move in with me."

"Harry that's, that's crazy." She stutters. "I can't move to England."

"You practically did last year, now it wouldn't be temporary, it'd be permanent." I tell her.

"Harry this is a big thing to ask, and it's kind of sudden." She says and we sit there quietly for a minute. I really thought she'd say yes...

"Shai I love you more than anything and just want to be with you; forever. And this could be the start." I say and she thinks, then smiles.

"You're serious? Like for real you want me to move to London with you?" she asks and I nod. "Harry if it means being with you, I don't know how I could say no."

I crash my lips to hers and pull her as close as I can. I start kissing her neck and she pushes me away.

"Shai is something wrong?" I ask and she grabs my hand and stands up.

"Let's take this inside." She whispers and I stand up to follow her. It had been so long, too long, since I was with her, and I was going to show her how much I loved her.

Shai's POV

I was going to move in with Harry; it was actually happening. But right now was more important.

As soon as we are inside Harry picks up where we left off. His lips attack mine and my knees already feel weak. He had this affect on me, and I wasn't complaining.

With every touch he was sending a new wave of want through my body. Three months.

His hands start to travel up my shirt but I stop him and pull away breaking our contact. I stare into his eyes and smirk. This would be fun.

"Don't do this Shai." He says in a low whisper. "You'll regret it." I stand on my tiptoes and kiss him right below the ear then step back again.

"Catch me." I say and take off running up the stairs towards my room. I hear his footsteps coming after me then his arms wrap around me and I squeal.

"You really shouldn't have done that." He whispers and carries me into my room.

"Why? What are you going to do?" I ask as he sets me on the bed. He looks over me and I smile.

"I'm leaving." He says.

"No you're not," I say and slowly start lifting my shirt off. "Because I know that you wouldn't want to miss this."

He runs his hands through his hair and turns away trying not to watch me. I pull my shirt over my head and throw it at his back. It hits him and he turns around.

"Fuck," he says quietly making me smile.

"Go ahead, leave," I say and sit there waiting for his next move. He pulls his shirt off and comes to the bed to kiss me.

"Why do you do this to me?" he asks between rough kisses.

"I knew you couldn't resist." I laugh and he props himself up over me on his elbows.

"I love you Shai. This time I won't mess up I promise." He says and kisses my forehead. "And to prove it to you I am going to make you feel so special."

"How?" I ask and he kisses me sweetly.

"I'm going to give you the love you deserve." He says quietly and starts kissing down my neck making small moans escape.

The last time Harry and I had sex was three months ago back in England and since then we had both made mistakes. I slept with Justin- something I regretted the moment it happened and I wanted to forget all about- and he also cheated.

I had a feeling this time would be different though, we needed to show that our love was real. His gentle touches leave tingles on my skin and I tangle my fingers in his curls as our kisses get deeper again. I had never felt more in love with Harry than that night.

Not our first date two summers ago, or the night he asked me out, or when he gave me the promise ring I always wore, or any other amazing moment we had. I knew then that no matter what mistakes we made we would be able to work it out.

***

"Harry?" I say quietly while trying to catch my breath.

"Yes love?"

"I love you, I never want us to make those mistakes again." I say and he turns me over in his arms so we are facing each other.

"We won't," he says and kisses my forehead. He knew exactly what I was talking about, and for some reason his two simple words gave me enough comfort to be able to fall asleep in his arms.

Harry's POV

All I could say to Shai was "we won't" and honestly I hoped I was right. But two words were all I said, and I guess it worked for her because not ten minutes later she was fast asleep in my arms. She was so perfect and I never wanted to let her go.

She would be with me once she moved to England with me, but it wouldn't be long until I was on tour. Although I had an idea only time could tell what the future held.

I pull Shai closer and am able to forget everything and fall asleep with her in my arms.
