Our Time Together ➸ Niall Horan

Losing and 'I Like You's

Zoe's POV

We had just finished playing soccer in the park, and my team won. Harry was acting all sulky about not winning.

"You'll always be my number one," I say, trying to cheer him up. We had just started dating, but we had been friends for a while before that.

"Thanks, Zo," he says, putting his arm around my shoulder. It was really weird because Zayn and have been dating for a while, Lou and Eleanor just got engaged, and Niall gave Ari a promise ring for their third anniversary, and Harry and and I became 'more than friends' like yesterday. We got back to the hotel, and we all went back to our rooms. It was about 7:00, so Harry ordered pizza. Louis and Eleanor sat really close to each other, and Harry and I were kinda just sitting there. I was really sweaty from the soccer game, so I went to take a shower. I came back out, 15 minutes later, and Lou and Ellie were gone, and Harry was sitting on the couch. I go to sit next to him, and he pulls me closer. I put my head on his lap, and he strokes my hair.

"Zoe, I'm really glad we're more than friends. Really glad." He says leaning down, kissing me. We had never kissed before, and he was an amazing kisser.

"Me too." I say, getting up to face him, "But it must be weird for Liam, I mean, he's the only single one."

"Your right, he hasn't found someone who makes him as happy as you make me." He says, grabbing my jaw, bringing me closer to him. He pulled me so close, our noses touched. He smiled, his white teeth glimmering. I threw my arms around his neck, and pulled him in for a kiss. We passionately kissed for what felt like forever. When he pulls away he whispers "Zoe,"

"Hmm?" I say, only wanting more.

"I-I like you." he says.

"Oh, Harry, I like you, too." He smiled, and got up. He turned off the light so that the only light on was the one in the bedroom.

"Shall we, m'lady?" He asks, standing up straight with his hand out.

"Oh, Harry," I say, taking his hand laughing. We go into the bedroom, and the floor, the bed, the bedside table, everything was covered in rose petals. Red, white, pink, you name it.

"Harry, this is…"

"Zoe, I know we just started…well,, you know. But, please, let me do something romantic for you." What?! OMG!!

"Harry, this is…perfect." I say, sitting on the bed. He sat down next to me and kissed my shoulder. Then up my neck, then reached my lips. Once his lips met mine, they never left. Then it happened. I'm not sure how, but I realized that I loved him. More than I thought a girl could love a guy. He was always laughing and making fun, and I loved him.

"Harry," I say, breaking away.

"Hm? What? What is it?" He asked, getting worried.

"Nothing. I just wanted you to know that I really like you."

"Zoe, the only thing wrong with us is that we didn't start dating sooner."

"I agree," I say, craving more. I lean in for a kiss, and he kisses me back with so much passion. I hear the door open, and Lou and Ellie turn the TV on. Harry ignores them, and says, "I got you something."

"Harry, you didn't have to…" I trail off when he pulls out a little box.

"Open it." He says, grinning. I open it to find a necklace with an infinity sign on it.

"Look closer." He says. I look, and I see 'Zarry', our ship name, on it. 

"Harry," I say, hugging him.

"It's perfect." I tear up, and he puts it around my neck. We lay down, I put my head chest, he strokes my hair, and we fall asleep like that.
