Twenty-Five. Everything is Perfect

(A/N-  So we have come to the last chapter.  I am quite pleased with the way this sequel has turned out and I hope that all of you really enjoyed it.  I very much appreciate all of the votes, comments and reads.  It really means a lot!  I do have an Epilogue written and I will be posting that on Wednesday.  Also, I have posted a new story called "Reversed".  I have only posted the introduction so far and it's likely that chapter 1 won't be up until the 1st of March.  I'll be taking a few days off and then I'll start putting that story together.  Anyway, thank you all again.  Love you all bunches!!  xx)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the first ten minutes after we got back to my place, we stayed in silence on the sofa.  I think Harry was too scared to say anything, fearful that he may say the wrong thing and I was trying to wrap my head around what happened.  I know that I need to trust Harry and I do but it was hard hearing those things coming from Rohan’s mouth.

I can feel that Harry is staring at me and I know he wants to say something or maybe he is waiting for me to begin.  I feel sorry for him in some ways because I am sure that he is now thinking that I believed what Rohan said tonight and I guess I do want to ask Harry if any of it was true.  I’m praying that it was all lies because I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it if some or all of it was true.

I can see out of my peripheral vision that his hand is inching closer and closer to mine.  I am waiting for his gentle fingertips to graze my skin.  I want that.  I need that.  Eventually, I can feel them and I lightly smile and begin to turn his way.

“Just ask me” He whispered and I looked into his sad eyes.  I closed mine for a second before returning my gaze to him.

“Was any of it true?” The words timidly slipping from my mouth.

“No.  Absolutely not.  They were all lies.  Everything he said was a lie.  I’ve never had sex of any kind with him.  Hell, I’ve never even kissed him.  You stopped that before it could happen.  The last time that I ever saw him was the day you caught us on the couch.  I talked to him afterward and told him that I no longer wanted to talk to him or see him and that’s when he started to spread all of those lies to the press.  I certainly don’t have any plans to meet up with him this week either.”  I took in everything that Harry has said and began processing it.  I knew in my bones that Rohan was in fact lying but I guess I really had to hear it from Harry.

“Please say you believe me baby.  I love you so much and I can’t lose you again.  I just got you back.  Please don’t leave me, Niall.  Please.” He intertwined our fingers as tears dripped from his eyes.

“I believe you, Harry.  I’m not going anywhere.  You have me.  You’ll always have me.”  I smiled as I watched his eyes brighten and he let out a relieved breath.  He leaned into my body and wrapped his arms around my neck, placing wet kisses, caused by his tears, on the crook of my neck.  I rubbed his back gently and waited for him to calm down.

 “So….” He began, sitting upright and taking my hands in his once more.  “You called me your boyfriend.”

“Yes, I did” I smiled.  “I figured you were going to ask me tonight anyway and I wanted to wait until we got back here but then I saw that jerk sitting at our table and I might have gotten slightly possessive and wanted him to know that you are certainly taken.  By me.”

“So that means that you’re my boyfriend, too doesn’t it?”

“Yeah, I think that is usually the way it works” I smirked in reply.

“Well then, boyfriend, would you maybe want to go to your room?” He wiggled his eyebrows causing me to laugh.  I placed a kiss on his lips and stood up from the couch and held out my hand to take his.
