Part 35

He came back smiling. "What did you do?" I asked, suspicious. "You'll see. It'll be really cool." I got excited not knowing what would happen. We waited in line for a while more but I was still thinking about what Harry had done. Finally it was our turn, so Harry and I entered the pod first. The doors started to close. "What's going on?" "This is my surprise. Just the two of us." I rested my head on his shoulder as we stood side by side and gazed at the beautiful city we were in. "This is amazing." I said as we started getting higher. He placed his hand on my hip. More silence. We were just enjoying the moment. "Almost at the top." He whispered in my ear. "Thank you so much." I breathed out. I gaped at the view. Harry giggled. "What are you laughing at?" "You look cute." I cracked a smile. "Stop it." "You do." I walked closer to the door to take a closer look, putting my hands on the cold glass. I looked down although I was scared of heights. I faced my fear. I didn't want to panic when we were at the top, which was the best view of London. I breathed out and gazed ahead of me. Harry hugged me from behind and stared ahead too. "I love you." He whispered. I didn't reply. I turned around to face him.

"Harry, you-" I started but Harry interrupted me. "Y/N, I'm sure of what I'm saying. I've realized that I'd do anything for you. You're always gorgeous in my eyes, with or without makeup. You make me feel special and when I'm with you I feel like I don't need anything else in the world. Just you. But I know you're engaged. You'll get married with Sam and he'll make you happy. That's the only thing I want. For you to be happy and not letting anyone take that amazing smile from your beautiful face." He said, caressing my face with his thumb.

My eyes were teary. I hated this situation, it made me feel confused. I just wanted to leave everything behind and be with Harry. But I couldn't. I had a complicated life: a job, an engagement... I started crying and hugged him. "I'm sorry." I croaked. He rubbed my back as I sobbed uncontrollably. "Shh, it's okay." I pulled back to look at him, but his arms were still around me.

"I never wanted this to happen. I want you to find a girl and be happy with her because I won't be able to." "I'm not searching for a girl anymore. I've already found her and I know there won't be anybody else who'll make me feel that way you do." Tears streamed down my face. "I wish I could do something. I'm really sorry." "Don't be. I'm happy I've met the best girl in the world. But please don't cry. It breaks my heart. And I need you to promise me something. You won't ever let anyone make you feel sad or take away your smile." I nodded and hugged him again.
