Harry Styles Wedding Series

Asking For Permission

(Y/N) and I had went to visit (Y/N)'s parents house this weekend for a barbecue her mom threw.

I looked out the window as my hand held steady on the steering wheel, driving down the road. I looked over at (Y/N), her head was tilted over, lied down peacefully on the passenger seat, her eyes closed as she gently napped.

I kept driving for what seemed like an hour and finally we arrived and I drove the car into grey pavement driveway. A couple of cars were parked next to ours.

I tapped (Y/N)'s shoulder gently on the side, whispering,
"Wake up, honey."

She slowly rose up and rubbed her eyes as she let out a yawn.
She looked around, confused slightly of where she was. She looked around and instantly recognized the setting. She shifted her eyes to the left and faced Harry.

"Ready to go?" She asked me.

Harry grabbed her hands and held it in his palm and gently kissed it, replying, "Always."

We both open the car door on each side and get out. I walk up to the door and press the doorbell on the right.

After a couple of rings and minutes go by, (Y/N)'s dad and mom show up at the door.
(Y/N)'s mom looked at me and immediately drew me in for a hug.

"How are you, Harry?"
"I'm good."

"It's so nice to see you!" She said enthusiastically.

Her dad looked at me and shook my hand, inviting us in.

I started to feel the uneasiness in my stomach setting in. I'm so nervous to ask her dad. What if he says no? Then what will I do? I still walked in the house despite my fears, holding (Y/N)'s hand smiling and greeting everyone else.

For what seemed like hours I talked on and on with her family, getting to know everyone. They all seemed nice and kind to me. Everyone was occupied doing something at the time. (Y/N) was in the kitchen, icing the cake her and her aunt had made for dessert. Her uncle and some of her cousins were playing video games in the kids room upstairs while the rest of the family were outside, the kids running around and the rest of the family drinking and talking on and on. I walk away from where I was sitting and go to where (Y/N)'s dad was sitting, holding a soda in his hand.

"Sir, do you mind if we talk inside?"

He looked at me and then backed to the left where some family members were sitting and talking. He placed the soda down on the stand and got up and walked behind, following me.

I walked into the the living room where no one was and we both sat down on the couch.

"So, what would you like to talk to me about?"

"I wanted to ask you-", I say nervously.

I didn't want to mess this up.

"I want to ask your permission...to marry your daughter." I say while holding my breath for a minute. It felt like there were butterflies in my stomach as I waited for his answer.

"Do you love her?"

"Yes, with all my heart, sir."

"You promise?" He says giving me a serious look based off his eyes.

"I promise, sir."

"You know, but she's my girl. She's my only daughter, Harry. I know she's happy and all but she's my little girl and I don't want her to get hurt. I want to know she's safe and-"

"I promise," I say looking at him with pleading eyes.

"I will love her and respect her and keep her safe. I love her very much, sir."

He looked at me questionably, as if he was trying to make us his mind. He came up to me and closely got near my face saying to me,
"If you hurt her, I promise I'll-"

"I won't. I promise."

We sit in silence for a couple of seconds, before I ask,
"So, Mr. (Y/L/N), do I have your blessing?" I say with a hopeful smile.

He looks as me and soon smiles, shaking my hand and pulls me into hug.

"Yes, I give you my blessing."

"Thank you so much!"

I feel like I could bounce off the walls. I finally got his blessing. The nervousness and anxiousness I had before is finally gone. I sigh in relief.

"So when's the proposal?"

I sit down and tell him the story and the plan. I can't believe it. I'm gonna do it. I'm proposing to (Y/N) on Friday.
