Chapter 19

He hands clasped over my eyes as we headed towards the entrance of his apartment; each step left me with more anticipation. "By the way, Cal and Freezy share an apartment with me, so that's why there's lots of stuff lying around. They're out right now though." His voice rebounded into my ears, as I replied with a simple "ok." Then, I felt the door open; nervousness crept up my spine as I felt myself weaving in and out through corridors, until we came to a halt.

"You ready?" He asked, and I simply nodded in return. "Okay 3,2,1." He drew back my eyes as he opened the door, leaving me in complete awe.

Lying in the centre of the bed was a set of roses, wrapped in a clear plastic film. Beneath that was a row of petals, arranged to spell out my name. Candles beamed at me, lighting up the room like heaven as I crept further in, mesmerised. I had to physically stop myself from crying at the sight, overwhelmed by what I was seeing.

"So... what do you think?" He questioned as he stood beside me, looking completely chuffed with himself.

Baffled, I forced the words out of my mouth "I- I- can't be- believe you'd do this for me. Wow." I stepped closer, analysing the beauty in front of me as I felt Harry creep up again, but this time had tapped on my shoulder, forcing me to turn and face him. "So." He started

"So?" I questioned, furrowing my brows.

"I did this for a reason, and I- I thought that this would be perfect for it." He said, stuttering over his own words. Bewildered, I nodded.

"Well these past few weeks with you have been phenomenal, really. I've not had this much fun with anyone since Katie, and well, to be honest, I've had more fun with you. So. I wanted to ask, will you be my girlfriend?" He slurred out, glaring willingly into my eyes as I stood, speechless, even though I knew the answer was yes. Instead, I just nodded, trying to comprehend what just happened.

Immediately after, he pulled me into a hug, and that was when the words finally tumbled out of my mouth "sorry, I- I meant yes- I'm just a bit, shocked, you know."

"Yeah I understand, just happy you said yes." His words vibrated through my shoulder as his face pressed against it, his breath heating my body.

As we pulled away, I felt him gently wipe away a wisp of hair blinding my face, tucking it behind my ear. Then, he pulled me in for a kiss, his arms gripping loosely around my shoulders as my arms found his waist. It truly felt like a dream, and I was finally living in it.

However, it was soon interrupted by a loud thud, along with a surprised cry "AHH WHAT THE HELL."

Frightened, me and Harry pulled away, only to find Freezy stood in the doorway, his jaw hanging wide open. "What the hell is going on in the House of Commons?" He spoke, mortified. Me and Harry exchanged a glance before bursting into laughter, which Freezy just glared at us like we were ghosts.

Shortly after, Cal spawned, and Freezy didn't waste a second before whispering what he walked into.

We all stood in silence, awaiting someone to break it, until eventually, Freezy did: "right..... so I'm guessing you two are a thing now?" He spoke, raising one eyebrow at us.

Harry smiled as he shrugged his shoulders "ehhh.... If you put it like that, then yeah."

I felt his arm reach for my waist as he both forced a smile at the other two, who seemed to have finally snapped back to reality. "Congrats then." They both spoke, a sincere smile creeping upon their faces. Me and Harry just nodded, as he let go of my waist.

We stood in silence again, unsure of what to say. Then, finally, Cal spoke "who's up for alcohol?"

We all nodded eagerly as we made our way down to the kitchen, fortunate that we could break away from the awkward situation.
