Groaning, I rolled away from the light that pierced through the curtains. Surprised to feel leather against my bare skin. Opening my eyes, I realized that I had fallen asleep on Harry's sofa. Shivering, I tugged the blanket further up my naked body. Harry was nowhere to be found...Wrapping the blanket around my body, I flinched when my feet touched the cold floor. "Harry?" I called, checking his office and finding it empty. "Harry?" I called again, before I could hear the low trickle of music. The voice of Michael Bublè led me to the kitchen, where Harry stood, in nothing but an apron, flipping what looked like pancakes.

"you'll make me work so that we can work to work it out -" Harry sang along under his breath, swaying his hips to the beat. This was a side of him I almost never see and I couldn't help but lean against the door frame and watch him in his own little world. "I'm not singing anymore with you standing there." Harry said, without turning around.

"How did you even know I was back here?" I giggled, disappointed that carefree Harry was short lived. Turning around, he rolled his eyes, "I'm usually pretty aware of when a naked woman is in the same room as I am." He smirked across the kitchen at me, taking in my appearance. "I'm very fond of today's wardrobe choice by the way...you should try it more often." Rolling my eyes, I headed back for the living room, grabbing Harry's discarded shirt off the ground and slipping it over my head. "I might consider it, if you didn't keep it like an ice box in here." I complained, hopping up onto the counter beside Harry.
No lie, I believe the man is hot blooded it would take a blizzard to get him to turn his thermostat above 60.
"Such a whiny little thing." Harry chuckled, leaning over for a kiss.
"That's no way to talk to your future wife, sir." I scolded him halfheartedly, leaning away from his kiss.
Reaching forward, Harry forced my face closer to his and planted a kiss on my forehead. "You're right, my love." His lips trailed down the side of my face and continued down my neck, "I'm deeply sorry for my previous remark." He murmured against my skin, as he kissed down my chest and along the neckline to his shirt I had on.
"Harry." I held back the moan that my body begged to release, "Harry your pancakes are going to burn." I reminded him, my eyes fluttering shut.  "That's not what I want to eat," he nipped slightly at my collarbone, "so I'm not that worried about it."

Before his sinful lips could travel any further, noise began blaring from his iPhone. "Fuck!" He grumbled under his breath, kissing my lips lightly before reaching for his phone, "hello?" He answered, resting one of his hands on my bare thigh and rubbing circles. "This is he." He said, his tone clipped and firm, like it always was when he talks to anyone from work.

Realizing he would probably be working most of the day, I mouthed "I'm gonna head home." But Harry shook his head and kept me from climbing down, tightening his grip on my thigh. "Of course, 11 sounds fine...I'll see you then." Hanging up, he leaned in and kissed my lips, swiping his tongue across them before meeting my gaze.
"Harry, if you need to be working, I can leave...it's not a problem-" shaking his head, Harry interrupted.
"Nope, I'm off all day...we have plans."
"We do?..." I asked, slightly lost.
"Obviously, we have to find my beautiful bride, a beautiful ring."
My heart swelled at the mention of last nights events. "Ring shopping?"
The Man I once could never imagine marrying anyone (much less ME) wants to take me ring shopping...
The thought of Harry...done up in a tux and waiting for me at the end of an aisle...his eyes shining with unshed tears and his face crinkled with a smile he can't seem to fight...his hands shaking and his voice uneven...

Shaking my head, I pulled myself out of the Harry induced daze and reached forward, pulling him against me. Wrapping my legs around his waist, I rested my head on his shoulder and released a sigh of contentment. "I love you." I whispered, tightening my grip as though I was afraid he would just disappear.

"I love you so much more." Harry whispered in return, placing a soft kiss on my neck and resting his head on my shoulder.

We sat there...silently caught up in one another's embrace...Caught up in our love for each other.





"Babydoll, are you ready?" Harry asked, peaking his head into the bathroom. My make up looking sophisticated, I stood in front of the mirror and let my gaze travel up and down my powder pink, lace dress. "Sweetheart?" tearing my gaze away from the mirror, I glanced up and saw him leaned against the door frame, in all of his stunning glory. His business attire had been replaced with some light-wash skinny jeans, a Hollywood Vampires t-shirt, and a black leather jacket thrown over it. "Harry Edward!" As stunning as he looks, I'm wildly over dressed next to him, "I'm going look to ridiculous next to you!"

Harry just chuckled, shaking his head, "No, everyone will just wonder why in the hell a business lady like yourself agreed to marry some punk like me." Rolling my eyes, I reached back and unzipped the dress, letting it pool at my feet and causing Harry's eyes to widen. "Do you have a punk fetish that I don't know about?"

"Shut up! I'm changing clothes." I giggled, stepping passed him and walk to the dresser that had a large majority of my wardrobe in its drawers.

"Is this what marriage is going to look like? You undressing and me being expected to do nothing about it?" Harry groaned, wrapping his arms around me and resting his chin on my shoulder. Blushing, I pulled out a black sweater that Anne got me for Christmas and a pair of ripped skinny jeans. "We have places to be, Mr. Styles." Mumbling a complaint, Harry kissed my shoulder before heading for the door, "Where are you going?"

"I am going anywhere that the world's largest tease isn't." Harry called from the stairwell.
