Thanks so much for this!

Here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!

Ana’s POV

“Are you ready to go back to the party?” I heard Harry’s voice ask from outside the room.

I checked my arms to make sure I got all the punch off. I was glad to see I had succeeded. I then looked down at my dress, and made sure it was good. It was now a peacock color instead of that white I had worn to the party originally. Now that I think about it, I think that was probably a stupid move on my part anyway, so I kind of deserved it.

“Yes, I’m ready,” I called back to him after doing a final check on my outfit. I walked out of the room and towards my boyfriend (which I will never get tired of thinking, even though it’s been all of about twenty minutes or less).

“You look lovely,” Harry complimented me. He took my hand, giving me a dimpled grin.

“Thanks,” I said, giving him a sweet smile in return. The two of us walked back to the party, hand in hand.

--------------------

After a long, fun night with my friends, we had headed back to the hotel rooms and said goodnight.

When everyone wasn’t looking, Harry had given me a soft kiss on the cheek. “Goodnight,” he whispered to me, and I couldn’t help but smile. Then he repeated it, only louder so it was directed to everyone.

“Goodnight,” everyone else said in turn. I joined in as well, smiling before following Lucy into our shared hotel room.

I took a seat on my bed and sighed happily, slipping my heels off of my feet. “That was awesome,” I said, almost forgetting the punch bowl incident, even though it was the thing that led to an important part of what made this night so amazing, at least to me.

Lucy looked at me funny as she took her own shoes off. “Even with the punch bowl? That was the first time you’ve worn the dress, and now it got ruined.”

I shrugged, but nodded. “Yeah, but it was still awesome, because that caused something amazing.”

Lucy’s eyes widened a bit. “Why would you say that? What happened?” She inquired, sitting on her bed.

I knew then it was time to tell her. “Well, you know how Harry and I walked back to the party together?”

“Of course,” she answered me. “Hey, what was the deal with you two holding hands, if you’re not…” then it dawned on her. “Oh my God, he asked you out?”

I smiled widely. Technically, he did, although he never specifically said, “Will you go out with me?” But I still took that as asking me out. Besides, I don’t think he would kiss me, and then ask me something entirely different. I then answered Lucy’s question. “Yeah, he did! I’m so happy right now, I feel like I could fly!”

“And go to Neverland with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys?” Lucy joked, wiggling her eyebrows.

“Shut up…” I picked up one of the pillows from my bed and threw it at her. It hit her in the face and she shot me a glare, even though I knew she was faking it.

“Anyway, I’m really happy for you, Ana. I know how much you like him,” she said, smiling as she tossed the pillow back over at me.

“Yeah, but we were talking and decided not to tell the paparazzi or anything like that. I don’t think I’m ready for all the attention I’d be getting if we made our relationship public, and Harry respects that,” I elaborated.
