The New Direction - 1D Fanfiction

Chapter 21

He bent down on one knee, I tried not to groan when I noticed he was just tieing up his shoelace. I patted my thighs as I waited for him to finish, I even played with my hair for a few moments while I waited. He finished tieing his shoe and sat back down beside me, he glared into my eyes in a romantic way and took my hands in his. 

"I may not have a ring at the current time Hailey but, I'm tired of feeling alone. I'm tired of sleeping alone. What i'm trying to say here is, will you move in with me?" He aksed.

I felt slightly deflated, I swore he was going to ask for my hand in marrige. Apparently not, I mentally shook it off and nodded my head. His face lit up the moment I smiled at him. He pulled me into him, he wrapped his long arms around my body and held me close. I gently gave him a squeeze before he let me go, we rose to our feet and headed back to the car.

We sat in my JEEP, Harry wanted to drive again so I allowed him to. I held my phone in my hand, I thought about texting Amanda about what had happened so I did. I opened my contacts and scrolled down to her name I clicked on it and selected send message. 

'Hey, so uh I thought Harry was gonna propose to me or something tonight. That failed, but he sung me a song he wrote and asked me to move in with him. It was so romantic.' I typed out to her. 

'Aw that sucks but hey he did ask you to move in with him. That could be part A of the plan! Wait, Niall told me that they disscused marrige and family while in the men's room earlier before you guys left...?' She replied.

'That's odd, I guess he was too nervous or something. Or like you said he could be saving it until later.'

'Yeah, omg Niall *facepalms* I gotta go Niall is hungry, AGAIN.'

'This is what you signed up for girlie. LOL.'

'Yeah, yeah tell me about it.'

'Haha, see you in a little bit, byee.'

'See ya.'

I shut my phone off and threw in on the seat right next to my thigh. Harry kept his eyes on the darkened road and continued to drive forward. I glanced at him, he glared out the front window. It was his 'Im concetrated' look. He glanced over to me and smiled, I raised my eye brow at him as he pulled over again into a parking lot of the nearby campgrounds. A soft laugh escaped his throat as he undid my seatbelt for me as he got out. I hopped out of my side and stood beside him, he draped his arm over my shoulders and we walked into the woods. I trusted him completely, but I was kind of scared to see what he was planning on doing now. 

"Harry what the heck are we doing, I told Amanda we'd be ba-" I started.

"Sh, don't speak. Just follow me." He insisted.

I shrugged my shoulders and we continued walking into the moon lit forest.  We continued on deeper and deeper into the trees and darkenss, I tensed up slightly and Harry held me closer to him. I could feel his breath on my neck, it was warm and smelt like mint. I loved his gum, it always smelt incredibly amazing. The familiar smell calmed me down a little and I relaxed my muscles slightly. His large hand held my tiny one compared to his, in his; our fingers laced together. He swung them back and forth as we continued even deeper into the darkness. 

"Harry c'mon this is starting to scare me a little. Where the heck are we going?" I asked. 

"It's just a little bit further, don't be scared. You're safe as long as you're with me." He reassured me. 

He gave me a little tug before I stared to walk again, he still had his arm draped over my shoulder. We continued on for a couple of minutes, we reached a clearing in the forest. The moonlight covered everything, it looked absolutely beautiful and there was no doubt about it. Harry pulled me close to him, his soft lips carefully brushed against mine. His smile broke the kiss, he seemed to be in the best of moods this evening. He took his Ipod out of his pocket and handed me an ear bud, I placed it in my ear and he did the same. His hand was placed on my hip and the other was holding one of mine. My other hand rested on his shoulder, he pressed played and The Climb by Miley Cyrus came on. I looked at him and he winked at me, sure enough we were dancing under the moonlight. It was one of the most romantic things a guy has ever done for me, I blushed at the thought and I moved a little closer to him. My head laid on his chest as we moved together in usion. 

"What's your angle Styles?" I asked, breaking the silence. 

"Can't a boyfriend and girlfriend have a romantic moonlight dance and there not be any angle to it?" He counter asked me. 

"No, they cannot." I quietly laughed. 

"Well, I'm not sure if now was the right time or not but here it goes."

My heart swelled up in my chest, my ribs felt like they were going to explode. Now I was deffinitley sure Harry was going to pop the question. The question I had been thinking about all afternoon. He was going to ask me to marry him, I could feel it coming on. I gazed into his eyes as I waited for him to complete what he wanted to say.

"Hailey, I love you. I really do. I know it's only been such a short time but I feel like we were meant to be together. We were made to love one another, be there for one another. I believe we were meant to be soulmates." He began.

"I feel the same way." I swooned. 

"So, what I'm going to ask you now is very important. I think you sould really think about it before answering. You would make me the happiest man in the world if you said yes." He smiled. 

"Okay, what did you want to ask me?"

"Will you..."

"What is it Harry?"

"Make me a sandwich when we get to the house?"

I stared at him in shock, it sounded exactly like somthing Niall would ask Amanda. He was really starting to confuse me, for real. He had hurt me slightly, I honestly thought he was going to ask me to marry him. He said he was ready and so did I. We spoke about this less than four hours ago back at the hospital. 

"Oh c'mon Harry!" I snapped.

"What?" He asked.

"You seriously brought me all the way out here, to this romantic as hell place. Surprise me constantly all day, sing me a song you wrote years ago that nobody else has ever heard about. And ask me to make you a damn sandwich when we get home?!"

"Uh..." He sighed. "Yeah, wait what? A sandwich? God damnit Niall!" He whispered.

"What?"

"What?"

"Did you just curse about Niall?"

"He was supposed to be helping me with tonight. I really wanted it to be special to you, I really wanted a positive answer from you. I guess I said the wrong things, the things he was asking Amanda."

"So you're telling me that Niall has been feeding you your words all night?!"

"Yes, it would appear so."

"I honestly can't believe you Harry! I'm going back to the hospital, we can discuss this later at home." I sighed heavily as I ran back to the JEEP.

"C'mon Hailey please, don't leave!" He called after me. 

I ignored him and continued to run through the woods. Shortly after I reached my JEEP and turned on the engine. Harry was probably siting there dumbfounded at the fact that I just ditched him like that. His cover had been blown and I had been pissed off royaly. It felt like he wasn't even taking this part of our relationship seriously, I shook my head and pulled out of the driveway and into the vacant streets. I turned on the radio and I focused on the roads ahead of me.
