It All Started Here (Harry fanfic) *Editing*

Chapter 23

"I really, really, like you, Sands!" Harry blushed. I smiled to him, and looked at our hands, which was intertwined, on the table. The 'sit opposite and hold hands over the table' move, you know.

"I really, really, like you too, Harry!" I confessed, turning slightly red as well. He's smile growth within a second and his eyes tingled.

"How did you manage to hide it for six months? I think everyone, besides you, know about this."

"Well, I kinda heard you tell the boys once..." I said embarrassed. "But I wasn't sure I heard right... I think it was late at night." I shrugged.

"Uh..." Was all he responded. I giggled, and tasted on the dessert. "You seriously heard that?"

"Yeah!" I nodded.

"Well... This is awkward..." He scratched his neck and blushed. "You're done?" He pointed to the slice, or what was a slice, of cake.

"Yeah." I said,and saw how he called for the waiter.

When he had paid, and after we'd discuss the fact that I wanted to pay as well, we walked out to his car hand in hand.

*****************************

"I don't want to go yet!" He sighed. We sat in the car, on the driveway to my house.

"Then stay! We can watch a movie?" I suggested.

"You sure?"

"Positive! Now c'mon!" I hurried him, and got out. His car door opened and closed as well, and I felt how our hands intertwined. I smiled up to him, and led him inside.

"So..?" He whispered once we was inside and in the living room.

"What do you wanna watch?"

"Titanic?" He suggested.

"Titanic!" I agreed. "You want anything?"

"Nah, I'm good with just you here to snuggle with." He smiled cheeky. I turned around to the tv, to hide my blush, and started the movie.

"I'll just change into something comfy!" I whispered, and went up to my room. I heard faint snoring from Derek's room.

I changed into sweets and a tank top, and went downstairs again, where Harry was sprawled out on the big couch. He sat with his back against the corner of it, and smiled big to me while patting on his lap. I shrugged, and sat down between his legs. He sneaked his arm around me and rested his hand on my stomach. The other hand found one of mine, and held it tight.

I really love this movie! It's so, deep, in a good way! Romantic, but sad. And to watch it with the guy I've been falling for, sitting in this position, makes is even more special!

I heard how his heart heated rapidly, but my did that as well! And I felt safe. In his arms, that's where I belong! Not in Brad's, not in Andy's, not even Derek's!

Just Harry's!

My eyelids became heavy, but I tried to fight against them. But, I've never been good at staying awake, so I feel into a sleep.

*****************************

"Sands?" A voice startled me, while the owner patted on my tummy.

"Mm?" I asked, still with closed eyes. I heard Harry chuckle.

"Slept well?" I nodded slowly. "Open your eyes." He whispered. I did as I said, and saw the light again. "Sands?"

"Yes Harry?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead." He grabbed my hips, and moved me so I sat directly on his lap, so I could see him. I held his neck with one hand, and followed the lines of one of his bird tattoos.

"Sandy, like I said, I really really like you..." Deep breathing, and he's heart kept beating fast. "And, I-I kinda wonders... If you would like to b-be my g-girlfriend..." He choked out. My finger stopped, right where the wing started, and I looked up at him with wide eyes.

"What?" I asked, slightly confused.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" He whispered softly, more confident this time. I sat there speechless, before my face lighted up in a smile.

"Yes!" I whispered back.

"What?" He asked shocked.

"Yes, I would love too!" I grinned. He smiled back, and I brought my lips up to his.

His hand was wrapped around my back tight, and my lose hand was loosely pressed against his chest. His lips was pressed against me in a loving way, sweetly.

And just in this moment I felt like I can do it. I can survive this! I can stop the self harming! I can come over my old life! I won't die!

We broke away slowly, and he gave me one last kiss on my lips then on my nose and last on my forehead.

"Thanks." He whispered, his lips barely touching my skin.

"Thanks yourself." I whispered back, and hugged him. I hide my face in his neck, and he played with my hair. "Oh, right! Harry?" I said with a sweet voice.

"Yes?"

"My parents are coming home tomorrow, and Derek told them about me and a mysterious guy, and they kinda want to meet you!" I said fast.

"Tomorrow?" I nodded. "Why not? I sooner or later have to meet them anyway." He shrugged. I smiled, and wrapped my arms around him again.

We stayed like this for a while, until I let out a yawn, which made Harry chuckle.

"Tired Babe?" I nodded slowly. "Then go to sleep." He kissed my forehead again.

"Can you stay?" I pleaded.

"Of course I can!" He promised me. I got up from his lap, and offered him my hand, which he gladly accepted.

We tipped upstairs, and in to my room. I closed the door carefully, an sighed. Thank god Derek didn't wake up!

"Where do I sleep?" Harry whispered.

"Beside me?" I said in a duh tone. "And don't try anything!" I teased him. He nodded, with a smirk. "Want to borrow a shirt or something?"

"Nah, I'm okay." I nodded, took one of my big shirts, answered went to my bathroom.

I removed the makeup and brushed my hair, and sat it up in a messy ponytail, to lazy too even care! I changed into the big shirt, who.went down above my knees. I.brushed my teeth, and took out a spare toothbrush to Harry.

I went out again, and saw that he hadn't moved.

"There is a spare toothbrush on the counter." I whispered. He nodded, and kissed my cheek before he went to the bathroom. I smiled, and maybe blushed a little too.

I pulled myself to the bed, and made myself comfortable.

A few minutes later I heard how a door was opened, then closed. Probably Harry.

The light was off, and he laid down in the bed beside me, facing me. He sneaked one hand around my waist, and I was pushed in to his chest. I pulled one of my hands up to his bird tattoos, and he chuckled.

"Comfy?" He whispered.

"Yeah."

"Goodnight Sands!"

"Night Harry!" I whispered.

"You're so beautiful!" That was the last I heard, before I fell asleep again, in his arms.
