Chapter 3 -- Surprise Me

Chapter 3 – Surprise Me!

*Harry’s POV*

I look next to me at the most gorgeous girl in the world. I was so grateful to have her and I couldn’t have been luckier. She notices me staring and says “What?” with that smile I fell in love with spread across her face. “I don’t know,” I say. “You’re just so beautiful I can’t help myself.” I wink and she starts blushing and looks away. She’s my princess and I would do anything to make her feel like it.

*Elizabeth’s POV*

We pull into the Pier and Harry parks in the spot under the lamppost like usual. He opens his door, gets out and walks around to my side to open the door. What did I do to deserve such a perfect gentleman I think to myself. I grab my purse and hop out of his Land Rover. As soon as I’m out he shuts the car door and makes sure it’s locked. All of a sudden he grabs my hand and we start running towards the ocean. When we reach the shore line he stops. “Har, what are you doing?” “Look up!” he says. I look up and see a jet pulling a sign behind it that says

‘Happy 4th Anniversary Elizabeth! Love, H.xxx’

Once I read the banner I look at Harry. “Really? Is that for me?” “Of course it is my love, I told you I have a surprise but that’s just the beginning.” “What?!? Harry! I told you you don’t have to go crazy every anniversary.” “But maybe I want to,” he winks and runs back towards the car. “You’re crazy Styles,” I shout at him. “But you still love me!” he shouts back; and surely I did.

“Where are we going babe?” “You’ll see when we get there darling!” “But I-“ “Elizabeth! It’s a surprise… if I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore silly.” He reaches over and grabs my hand off my lap. “I promise you’ll love it” He kisses my hand and continues driving; I’m hoping we’ll be there soon… I’m getting anxious.

We pull into the parking lot of ‘Sandstones’, the restaurant where we had our first date. When he comes around to open my door I say to him “You know I could get that myself…” He responds by saying, “you could but you’re not going to” I seriously have the best boyfriend ever. We walk in the back way like always and of course another surprise waited in the kitchen; Raine and Liam. As soon as we walked in I was bombarded with a hug from Raine while Liam and Harry reunited. Raine and Liam had moved away for a little bit so Raine could get her degree in fashion from New York Design School in the US. They were two years older then us so of course they were at a different stage in life and already engaged. “So how was New York?” I ask Raine. “Its absolutely amazing there, it is kinda shocking though how different it is.” “Yeah I’m sure it is,” I respond back. “I’m glad to see you home though Rai!” I hear Liam suggesting that we should grab a table so I of course agree with a nod. When Liam and Raine head up ahead of us, I hang back with Harry. “How’d you get them here Har?” “I told you, I will do anything for you baby; anything.” Before we move from that spot I steal a quick kiss. I’m so glad he’s mine and I’m his.

“Ugh I’m so full,” Raine says. “Me too, I think H is gonna have to carry me out.” “Oh that can be arranged,” he says with the biggest smile on his face. “Check please waiter” Liam shouts. I want this lunch to be over because I want to spend the day with Harry but at the same time I love Raine and Liam. Outside the restaurant we hug them goodbye and I tell Raine to text me. “Will do!” she says back. Two seconds later my phone buzzes….guess who?

Raine Elizabeth Smith-Payne

Heey! You told me to text you ;)

When I’m done reading the text I shove my phone back in my purse. Tonight was our night.

Once we got back to the highway Harry started driving towards my favorite mall with the most beautiful jewelry store in the world. When we get in the mall I go straight into the wing where the store is. “Oh I see you’ve been here quite a few times,” Harry says with a wink. “Of course I have been, do you know me at all?” Once we reach the store the girl behind the counter chose 3 specified rings out of the case and the weird thing was I loved them all. Then I thought about it… oh my god, we’re picking a wedding ring set. Once I picked the one I liked she brought out three selected bands and once again I picked my favorite, the third one, again. When she walked away after I chose the band I looked at Harry.” Why are we picking these out? We’re not even engaged yet.” “They’re limited time only babe and I figured you’d like the third ones the best.” He winks at me and we had out to the car. Once we reached the car I checked the time on my phone; 8:30 pm. In exactly thirty minutes it’ll be four years on the dot since we met. The moment when this all began; July 9th 2009 at 9pm. Gosh thats a lot of nines I thought to myself. When we reach the exit sign that read ‘Pier London’ Harry got off. We reach the beach and Harry checks his clock at least 4 times continuously, it was only 8:45. For like 10 minutes we stood together on the beach with the only sound being the ocean; his arms around my waist and mine around his. He checked his clock again and again until at 8:58 he got down on one knee and pulled a box out of his pocket….
