Back (book 2)

18. Settled

Harry's POV
It has been a few months since we've moved back to LA and Alexa and I have been back together for 4 years now. I'm 26 and she's 20. She's the absolute love of my life and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her and I know she feels the same way.
The boys and I just finished our seventh huge tour and we're taking a six month break in between the eighth album and the tour. I decided to spend my time focusing on Alexa and I. We had gone on a few amazing trips and spent a lot of time together. She's become head writer and photographer for national geographic and I couldn't be prouder. Everything she did was amazing and I loved how amazing she was.

We had been laying in bed all day. She was in one of my tshirts and nothing else and I was in my boxers. While she was sitting up working on her computer I decided to take a few notes.
Strawberry cheese cake
Candles
Sushi
Hanging lights
Sunflowers
I was writing a list for the perfect dinner... I was going to propose. I knew it was time and I had gone over it a million times with Lou and he agreed it was perfect. Niall and Haidyn were already engaged and were to be married in November which was two months away. I knew it was time and I needed to man up and go for it. I loved her she loved me and if I wanted to be with her forever I would have to do this now.

"What are you writing?" She asked as she shut her computer.
"Nothing." I quickly shut the notebook and set it down. We then laid down and she rested her head against my chest.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you so much sweet girl." I said and kissed the top of her head.
"Four years." She said and I smiled.
"Four years baby." I said. We would officially be together for four years tomorrow and I knew that would be a perfect time to ask her.
"It's 7 baby, we've been in here all day. Want to get some food?" I asked.
"Well I look and smell gross so let's order pizza." She laughed as sat up and redid the messy bun on her head.
"You're perfect baby." I kissed her lips.
She smiled and we got up. I dialed the number for the pizza place.
"Harry." She said as I hung up.
"Yep?" I answered as we walked into the kitchen.
"Maddie asked if her and her boyfriend Cameron could come over... Is that okay?" She asked. I loved her sister don't get me wrong but her boyfriend was a pain in the arse.
"Yea sure!" I said knowing I had no choice.

Finally the pizza got here because we were awkwardly standing in the kitchen. Maddie and Lexie were talking and I was awkwardly standing across from Cameron.
"So uh how's the band going?" He asked to break the silence.
"It's good mate. How's university?" I asked him trying to make conversation.
"Good good." He said and the awkward silence began again.
"Let's go do something?" Lexie grabbed my arm and brought me into the living room.
"Harry stop being so awkward.." She said to me.
"I'm trying!" I said before the other couple walked in.

We spent the rest of the night watching a movie. When the movie ended which felt like it never would Maddie and Cameron left.
"Hey baby?" I said as she shut the door.
"Mhm?" She responded.
"I had a great idea.." I smirked.
"Oh what now?" She laughed.
"Let's go for a swim..." I said and she walked over and wrapped her arms around my middle.
"Hmm okay.." She said.
"But under one condition." I smiled at her.
"What would that be?" She smirked.
"Naked." I smirked.
"You have a dirty mind." She hit my chest and ran away. I quickly caught up to her and wrapped my arms around her and picked her up and she screamed. We started laughing and I swung her around and then set her down.
"Fine fine!" She laughed.
She walked into the bedroom and I slapped her bum. She got undressed and threw a tshirt on and I wore just my boxers.
We walked outside hand in hand to the pool. We got undressed and walked in.
"Shit, it's cold. Harry you know I hate cold water!" She yelled and splashed me.
"Let's make it hot then." I smirked and she laughed.
I then lifted her up and she wrapped her bare legs around me and attached our lips.
Our lips moved in sync and I squeezed her bum and she let out a moan and I took that as a chance to slip my tongue inside.
I then slid one hand in between our body's and rubbed it over her core. I slid one finger inside her. She let out a moan and I then kissed down her jaw and found her sensitive spot under her ear. I sucked and bit at the skin as I stuck another finger in and pumped in and out.
"Harry." She moaned and her head fell back slightly.
I attached my lips to hers again.
"I need you." She moaned against my lips.

I wasted no more time before adjusting her on me and lined myself up. I slowly slid into her. She let a moan out as I filled her up.
"So tight baby. Always so ready for me." I moaned and as I pumped in and out our bodies moved in sync.
"Fuck baby yes." I moaned.
"Harry yes there." She moaned as I hit her spot.
After a few more thrusts I quickly pulled out and released into the water.
She fell forward and rested her head against my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around her tightly.
"The pool man is going to be scarred." I laughed pointing to the liquid.
"Oh my god Harry!" She laughed.

We got showered and ready for bed.
"I love you baby." She smiled up at me.
"I love you too." I said and kissed her before we cuddled up and drifted off to sleep.
