Protecting Emily

Chapter 27

I was literally biting my nails off.

Harry removed my hand from my face.

We were tied. Three seconds left. Ravens had the ball.

"We could go into over time." Harry shrugged.

"Shut up!" I hissed.

Commercial time.

I sighed.

"Hey." Harry said, poking me.

I turned to him, eating a banana while looking me straight in the eye, sending me laughing.

He knew how to get me to lighten up.

I pecked his lips. Dad cleared his throat.

"Dad."

"Sorry if I'm not a fan of PDA."

"You used to be." I pointed out.

"That's different." "How?" I folded my arms. "I was married."

He had me there. Dad got up with his empty ice-mug and went to the kitchen.

"We could be married." Harry whispered against my hair.

I froze. He wanted me marry me?

"What?" I turned to him.

"Married. You know in the future. With kids or without. Whatever." He shrugged, finishing off his banana.

"You wanna marry me?" I said in shock.

"I want anything that let's me be with you." He twisted a golden bundle of my hair in his fingers.

I smiled and bit my lip.

"Even after one of your fans is better than me and wants to marry you?" I laughed.

"Even then." He chuckled, tapping my nose. I pressed my lips against his.

I was literally addicted to his lips. I tangled my hands in his curls.

"Ah-hem."

Harry pulled away from me. I pouted.

"Game time." Dad said.

I quickly turned to the TV.

I groaned as they let the Broncos start for a field goal. On the bright side, it was on the left side. Please don't make it!

He kicked, the ball flew into the Raven's hands.

I shot up, screaming.

"RUN!"

I jumped up and down.

The guy ran down the field.

"TOUCHDOWN!" Harry and I cheered at the same time.

"Damn it!" Dad swore.

"We won! Oh my God we won!" I hugged Harry like mad.

"You have to forgive him! You have to!" I pointed to dad.

"Alright. But I know how to work an AK-47." Dad said before hugging me.

I laughed.

"He's not kidding." I told Harry.

"I know." He gulped.

"Come on! Let's go tell Marcel!" I cheered, pulling him out of the door.

The air was still chilly despite it was April.

I raced towards Harry's house.

I opened the door to find Marcel dancing around with Lux who was wearing Harry's fedora.
