You're Still The One

Chapter 17- Still Love Him

(Valerie's POV)

At first it was a little awkward at first watching the movie and sitting so close to Harry. I looked over at him and he gave me his signature cheeky grin. I rolled my eyes with a smile. The movie was halfway over when Harry threw a piece of popcorn at me. I looked at him and threw one back at him. "What was that for?" He asked me. I smiled and turned away. I felt a pair of hands grab my waist and pull me close. Then I was being tickled. "Harry!" I squealed through fits of laughter. He wouldn't let me go. "Say you're sorry." Harry said continuing on tickling my sides. "Never!" I said trying to catch my breath.

"Say it!"

"No!"

"Say it!"

"No!"

"Say it!"

"No!"

"Say it!"

"H-Harry! S-stop tickling me!"

"Not until you say it!"

"Fine! I'm sorry!" I laughed. Harry stopped tickling me but he held me close to him. We continued watching various movies, all of them chick flicks, and feeding each other snacks. For a moment I forgot that we had ever broken up. Only for a moment though. "Valerie?" Harry said quietly. I hummed in response. I was in total bliss cuddling up to his chest, watching movies, and eating snacks. "I'm sorry..." He whispered into my hair. "For what?" I asked. "For everything I did. For breaking your heart, breaking every unspoken promise." Harry whispered. My heart fluttered in my chest.

I turned around in his arms to look at him. "What does that mean?" I asked, feeling my stomach twist. "I want you back Valerie. I miss you so much and I regret ever leaving you. Will you please take me back?" Harry said taking my hands in his. I looked down at our intertwined fingers, unsure. I wanted to take him back but I don't know if I'm ready to forgive him.

Before I could speak, he continue. "I know it's probably going to be hard for you to forgive me so easily, but let me win you back. Give me a chance. I'll show you that I mean every word I say and that you are my world." He said. My stomach twisted some more. My head and my heart weren't on the same page because I nodded my head slowly. Harry's smile made my heart stop; it was so genuine, so pure. He didn't try to kiss me but he lightly pressed his to my forehead. I felt butterflies flood my stomach and I sighed in content.

"So does this mean we're back together?" I asked shyly. Harry looked down at me. "If that's what you want, then yes." He said with a cheeky grin. I shook my head, smiling. "Let's try working things out first then see where that leads to." I said turning away from him. He grabbed my waist and turned me to face him again. "Why did you turn away?" He asked, his eyebrows scrunching together. I laughed poking him on one of his dimples. "Because I can." I said cheekily. "But I don't ever wanna stop looking at your beautiful face." Harry said touching my cheek. I could feel my face burning bright red. He still had that effect on me.

He could still make me feel like I was the only girl in the world. Like he will always be there no matter what. Even after breaking my heart and breaking every unspoken promise, even if I still don't know what that means, I still loved Harry.
