Chapter 42:

"You ready?" Harry speaks as I pick up my towel and belongings from the sand.

"Yeah." I puff, juggling everything in my hands. We've just spent our afternoon at the beach and we promised the lads and our families that we would video call them and tell them how we're doing so far. I turn and smile at Harry, he lovingly helps me by taking a few items from my hands and carrying them in his own perfect large ones. "Thank you." I blush, still feeling the same way I did the first time I met him. He grins in response and rests his free hand on the small of my back, making me feel secure and safe as we stroll casually back to the villa, enjoying the sights along the way; our toes sinking in the sand and the sun being absorbed carelessly by our warm skin.

He takes out the key and unlocks the clean white double doors, being a gentleman and letting me in first. "Right, who are we calling first?" I ask as I wander into our bedroom and put all of my belongings in their correct place. Then make my way back into the living room, only to find him sat on the couch with his head resting back and eyes lightly closed.

"Call your mum and dad first." he grumbles, giving me a light kiss as he gently tug my small wrist and pulls me down next to him, cuddling closer into me. I hug him tightly, side-on, as he remains in his position with his eyes still closed; even when he is tired he is utter perfection, his features glimmer involuntarily. I smile at his gorgeous figure as he sits completely tranquil.

"You tired babe?" I smile at him as I run my finger lightly along his collarbones, clearly tickling him.

I watch him grin at my feathery touch, "yeah." he pouts, opening his soft green eyes and looking at me; I can't help but kiss his nose and touch his forehead with mine.

"Well I could do it on my own if you'd like? I don't mind. I'll just tell everyone you've gone for a nap." I smile, giving him the second option.

"It's okay, I want to see everyone," he responds slightly cheerily, "and I want to be with you when we tell everyone the news." his smile lifts into an elated grin and he kisses my cheek.

I blush and giggle at his words, before turning on the laptop and waiting for my family to answer the video call. The next thing I know my family popped up on the screen, their expressions lightening as they notice us.

"Hey everyone!" I cheer watching them all wave at me and Harry through the glass.

"Hey you two! How's the long weekend away?" my dad asks.

"It's been incredible so far!" I reply happily glancing towards Harry. "And we have something to tell you," I smile not being able to hold my excitement any longer. They wait in anticipation for me to continue, "We're engaged!" I scream out loud, still not able to believe it. My mum and Anna mirror my actions and hugg each other, while my dad and brothers just sit and smile back at us.

"Congratulations!! We're so happy for you! Ahhh I can't believe my baby girl is getting married! Ahh!" my mum screams making me giggle. "You'll have to tell me everything when you get back!" she continues making my brothers roll their eyes. It's typical of her, she'll want to know every detail!

"I will mum don't worry." I laugh. "So how are all of you guys?" Harry jumps in tightening his grasp around me.

"We're doing really well actually. Your mum rang me up Harry and asked if we wanted to go out for dinner on Monday. So we've organised that." my mum answers him, having now calmed down a little after her small outburst a few moments ago.

"Oh that's sounds great! She'll be looking forward to it, we're actually going to call her in a sec." he responds, knowing his mother very well. I love the relationship they share, Harry goes to Anne with anything, they're so close and its admirable that they have such a strong bond together as mother and son.
