The Party (Harry Styles Fanfic)

CHAPTER 14

We met up with Niall at an Irish pub near his place. Harry opened the door for me like a gentleman as we entered the pub. I smiled as I spotted Niall. "Hi Niall!" I tightly hugged him. "Hi Lexi! Thanks for coming!" He hugged back smiling. The boys hugged and sat down at the reserved booth in a private room. Which was very nice. Greatly decorated with rustic features including barrel tables and decor. Very Irish. We each ordered our meals and discussed our day and how romantic it was. "Harry made a delicious pie that we shared! It was amazing!" I giggled as harry blushed.

"Harry is bringing back his bakery skills eh?! He must really like you, he doesnt cook pastries very often only quesadillas for me because Harry amkes the best". Niall Smiled.

"I'll have to try his quesadillas they sound good but I guess i'm just taking advice from a food addict". Both of the boys cracked up at my statement.

I took a bite of my salad. The night continued with alot of chatting and laughing even though Harry didnt say much, which was weird. I started to get a little worried.

"Harry, whats wrong? You have been really unusually quiet, it's not like you. Are you okay?" I faced him. "Im fine babe. Niall do you mind if we leave a bit early? I dont wanna be late for our reservations". Harry took my hand. "No problem lad, thank you for coming! Enjoy yourselfs! Have fun!". Niall stood up hugging both of us. 

Harry and I filed out the door of the restaraunt and into his car. "So Harry I'm serious, this isnt like you, acting nervous, and really quiet. What happened to the guy on the boat that was chatting it up and cooking. Which apparently is rare for you I hear. Did I do something wrong?" He focused on the road. "No you could never do anything wrong Alexis". We pulled into the next place where it was just us and a candlelit table on the beach. There were all kinds of desserts layed on the table. 

We stepped out of the car as I covered my mouth with my hands and tears filled my eyes. "Is this for us?!" I asked. "It was hard trying to keep a secret for so long". He took me into his arms. "Its really gorgeous I love it!" 

Harry pulled out a chair for me to sit down. The candles glowed into the dark sky with the sound of waves rolling in and out, I tried one of the many cookies from the table. Everything looked so good, I had no idea what to try first the box of chocolates or the cookies. "So glad you like it!" Harry chuckled his eyes glistening irresistibly in the candlelight watching me pick out a cookie. "Everything looks so good Harry!". I laughed before leaning over the table to reach his lips in which he accepted sharing the most romantic kiss yet.

(Harry's thoughts)

My mind is racing along with my heart. I felt the little box in my pocket trying to decide when the right time would be and how I would present it to her. What if she says no?

(Alexis's thoughts)

This was such a beautiful date! It could not be any more perfect. Dinner with Niall and dessert on the beach with Harry. But what was the reason for it all? The quiet mysteriousness and nervous behavior. It wasn't like Harry to be nervous and quiet. He knows something and I am determined to find out what it is and why he is so scared to tell me? 

*****Reality*****

Harry smiled at me, yet I could tell the sparkle in his eye was gone, he was tense. The worry inside turned to fear.

"Alexis I will tell you the real reason for this". Harry cutoff my thoughts. "You really changed my world the moment we met and i know our time together has been short but I love you more more than anything or anyone I have ever met". He got down on one knee. 

"Alexis Will You Marry Me?!"
