Back (book 2)

19. The proposal

Alexa's POV
It was a beautiful fall day. Harry and I we're walking the city. It was around 5:30 and Harry decided we should head home. I didn't know why so soon but I went along with it.
"Harry?" I asked him as he opened the car door for me.
"Yea?" He asked. Seeming very uneasy.
"You seem off. Is everything okay?" I asked him.
"I'm fine baby." He gave me a small smile and kissed my cheek and shut my door. I shrugged it off.
We drove back with the 1975's newest album playing.
"So what's for dinner?" I asked.
"I don't know I can make you something special for today." He said.
"I would love that. Happy fourth." I smiled and rested my hand on his. He kissed my knuckles.
"Happy fourth sweet girl. I love you."

We finally got home. I saw Harry low key grab his nice clothes so I decided to pull out a black pencil dress that went mid thigh with a low back cut out and long sleeves and the simple diamond necklace Harry had gotten me with nude heels.
After I curled my hair and fixed up my makeup I walked into the kitchen. Harry wasn't there, I looked around the house and didn't find him. I then saw the back lights on. I walked outside and there were twinkling lights and candles that made a pathway out into the back. I followed the path and was met with a beautiful table set up with white table cloth a big vase of sunflowers and an amazing sushi dinner set up. A small table to the side had a big strawberry cheesecake; my favorite. I was then met with curly hair, green eyes, and a huge smile. The man of my dreams was all dressed up in front of me. I walked closer to him.
"This is beautiful Harry!" I said and kissed his lips. After a few seconds he broke apart and set his hands on my hips and rubbed small circles.
"Only the best for a beautiful girl." He smiled down at me then kissed me again.
He let go and walked over to the table and pulled my chair out for me. I thanked him and sat down.
"How did you do all this?" I asked him as we ate.
"I never reveal my secrets." He smirked.
"Hm I see." I rolled my eyes and laughed.

We ate and then he sliced pieces of cheesecake for us. He set it down for me.
"Why thank you!" I laughed.
"You're welcome." He smiled.
"You're so adorable you know that?" I said as he rested his hand on mine.
"I've been told once or twice.." He joked.

We ate our dessert and when we were finished he stood up. And walked in front of me. Before I knew it I pulled my chair out to face him and before I could stand up he got down on one knee and opened up the box that was in his pocket which held a beautiful ring. I didn't get know how to react. So many emotions were flowing through me.
"Alexa, you are the love of my life. I know that you're it for me there is nobody else. You may be stubborn and sometimes ask really really dumb questions but those are the things that make you you and that's why I love you. You make me me and you complete me. You're sense of humor and how you can be yourself are just two more reasons why I love you. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. The moment I met you I knew you were the one. I love you with all my heart and I can't imagine my life without you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.. So with that before this turns into a long drawn out thing because I could go on for days talking about why I love you. So Alexa.. Will you marry me?" He said and I covered my mouth with my hands and happy tears were streaming down my face.
"Yes yes oh my god yes!" I nodded and gave him my hand, he put the ring on it and I stood up and we wrapped our arms around each other and our lips instantly connected.
"I love you so much!" I said against the kiss.
"I love you." He replied.

"Oh my god." I said and rolled over. Harry and I had just made our round two for the night. As soon as he proposed we couldn't keep our hands off of each other. We quickly made our way to the bedroom. We have been there since.
"I love you you so much, can't wait for you to be my wife." He said as he rubbed circles on my hip with one hand and had the other wrapped around me.
"Me too." I smiled and rested my forehead against his. I kept looking at the huge diamond on my finger. I couldn't believe in a a few months from now I would be married to the love of my life, Harry Styles.
