Fall ~ Harry Styles

Chapter 37

Scarlett's POV: 

I peered up at Harry, still giggling slightly at our playful moment. Except he wasn't laughing back or smiling, he was gazing intently at me; his eye's never leaving mine. He was somewhere else, here in body but somewhere else in mind.  His eyes where filled with love and lust, his gentle brushes on my cheek making me shiver. I never wanted this moment to end, all of my worries and pain had vanished from my mind, all because of the most handsome boy before me.

All of a sudden our eye's left one another and Harry's body disappeared from sight, and before I could even contemplate why he left I looked down to see him on one knee. Oh my gosh. I took a sharp breathe in as realisation of the situation dawned on me.

"I know this isn't the perfect proposal Scar, but I do know a few things. I know that I want you today, tomorrow, next week and for the rest of my life. I know that you're the first person I want to look at when I awake in the morning and the only one I want to kiss goodnight. And I know that there's not a single girl in the world that I’d rather have walk down the aisle to me, or start a family with or be by my side for eternity. And as long as the stars are above you, I’ll love you and protect you and keep you safe, just like I always have..." 

Harry's POV: 

I stopped to take a quick breathe. This was it the question I’d been building up to. My mind was a chaotic mess and one word from her beautiful self could make or break this. I pulled out the small box that held the elegant diamond engagement ring from my back pocket, and carefully popped the lid open. A small gasp left her lips at the sight of the ring I’d spent so long choosing. Then I let the question I’d latched onto for so long tumble out.

"Scarlett Emily Kimber. I've loved you for as long as I can remember, please, make me the happiest man in this entire universe and marry me?" A brief moment passed before she said the words I’d waited so long to hear.

"Yes. Yes, a thousand times yes!" As soon as she uttered the words she jumped into my welcoming arms, her legs wrapped around my waist and the biggest smile on both of our faces. The girl I loved had just agreed to marry me; words would never be enough to describe the emotions I felt at this moment. 

Scarlett's POV:

"Yes. Yes, a thousand times yes!" I spoke, the tears trying to escape almost getting the better of me. Before I could even stand Harry had pulled me up in the air, wrapping my legs around his waist and spinning us around in delight. I giggled at Harry's still playful nature, the tears however now flowing freely. I hugged him and squeezed him tight in happiness.

After a minute or so he sat on the sofa, me on his lap, my legs still wrapped around his waist. Harry quickly brought the ring back out giving me a chance to admire it. I peered down at the glittering ring nestled into the small cushion before me. It was a thin silver band with the most beautiful elegant diamond placed in the centre of it. Fresh tears appeared as I looked at the sheer beauty of it. I watched as Harry took the ring from it’s plush box and slipped it onto my left ring finger. He smiled at the sight of the ring, bringing my hand to his mouth and giving it a tender kiss.

"Where it will stay for eternity" He murmured and I smiled in a silent promise.

"I love you Harry, so much. And I can't think of anyone I would rather see at the end of that aisle waiting for me" I spoke truthfully. A dimpled grin broke out on Harry's face as he brought me in for a kiss. His mouth pressed to mine as our lips moved together perfectly in sync. 

"I don't think I’ll ever get tired of seeing my ring on your hand darlin" He said against my lips, making me giggle as I held my hand towards the light to admire the iridescent diamond that sat on my finger perfectly.
