I stared at myself in the mirror. My nerves were hitting me all of a sudden. Everything had to be perfect. My hair, my outfit, my makeup. Nothing could be out of place or else that would give them something to talk about.

"(Y/n), are you nearly ready? We have to get going soon." Harry called out from the other room.

I took one last look at myself before I stepped out of his bedroom. I was going to spend the night at his place since we were going to be out late. My parents officially met Harry as my boyfriend the other day and they loved him just like I did.

When my mom realized that it was me pictured with him on her magazine, she nearly blew a gasget. She couldn't believe that she didn't notice it.

"Babe, you look absolutely incredible." Harry told me when I walked into his living room. I looked down at the dark purple dress I was wearing.

"I hope this is good enough." I mumbled.

He grabbed my hand, "What are you talking about?"

"I just wanted to make sure I didn't give anyone anything to talk about." I confessed.

Harry placed his hands on my waist, "(Y/n), people will talk regardless. You look beautiful and I don't want you to worry about anything."

I smiled, "Thank you, Harry." He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

We went downstairs where the other guys and Eleanor were they were waiting for us in the SUV.

"It took you guys long enough. Getting in a last minute shag?" Louis joked. I smacked his arm on the way to my seat.

"Good one, babe." Harry told me. We sat in the back behind Liam, Niall, and Zayn.

"Who's party is it that we are going to?" I asked them as we made our way to the party.

"It's Ed Sheeran's album release party." Niall replied.

No. Way.

"Shut up!"

Harry jumped, "What?!"

"Harry, why didn't you tell me that the party was for Ginger Jesus?!" I asked him while the others laughed.

"Ginger Jesus?" Harry questioned.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe this." I mumbled.

"I take it you are a fan of his." Niall laughed.

"A huge fan!" I answered.

"Please promise me you won't fangirl over him." Harry told me.

"That's a promise that I cannot keep." I smiled. He pressed his lips lightly against mine before he whispered into my ear, "How come you never get this excited around me?"

"I always get excited around you." I winked at him and he smiled.

I had a feeling tonight was going to be amazing.

When we arrived at the venue for Ed Sheeran's party, I got super excited. He was one of my absolute favorite artists and I was in the same building as him. I was breathing the same air as him!

We all walked inside and the guys had some mingling to do.

"(Y/n) and I are doing to get some drinks and we will catch up with you guys later." Eleanor told them. Harry kissed me quickly before he left with the boys.

"Have you and Harry talked about what will happen when you leave?" Eleanor asked me.

"We are gonna talk as much as we can and I'll be able to visit on holidays. I'm sure he and the guys will have to go to New York sometime." I answered. I was more confident in our relationship than ever.

"I'm really glad he found you. I can tell you make him so happy." She smiled.

I looked over where Harry was and he was already looking at me. He winked and I waved back at him.

"He makes me happy too."

Half an hour later, Eleanor and I were sitting at a table gossiping. We were commenting on some of the fashion choices around us. Some people should've stayed home.

"(Y/n), there is someone I would like you to meet." Harry came up to me and I turned around to see who he was talking about.

It was Ed Sheeran.

Ed. Freaking. Sheeran.

My eyes went wide and I stood up. I could hear Harry laughed but I ignored him.

"Hello, (y/n). I hear you are a fan of mine." Ed said to me.

I nodded, "I am. It's nice to meet you."

He shook my hand and I nearly fainted. I felt Harry stand behind me and he placed his hands on my waist.

"(Y/n) nearly freaked out when she found out this was your party." Harry laughed.

I was tempted to elbow him in his stomach, but I stopped myself from doing so.

"I'm glad that you are here." Ed smiled.

"I am too." I replied. I was very proud of myself. I didn't freak out like Harry thought I would.

Ed agreed to take a picture with me before he had to leave to speak with his other guests. As soon as he left I set it as the background on my phone.

"You are the best you know." Harry laughed once he saw it.

"I know." I replied like it was common knowledge.

When the party winded down a little, Harry and I decided to head back to his flat.

I was so glad to take off my heels. My feet were killing me.

"I had such a good time tonight." I told him as I gave him a hug.

"I'm glad you did." He smiled. He leaned my chin up with his finger and connected our lips. It was slow and sensual at first, but then it got heated. It was like it was the last time we would kiss. Passionate.

He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He started walking while he placed chaste kisses along my neck. He brought me into his bedroom.

Harry set me down onto his bed all without breaking our kiss.

"I love you." He whispered.

I leaned my forehead against his, "I love you."

He pressed his lips against mine as he lowered me onto the bed.

I felt his hands go to my waist and then under my shirt.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked him.

He nodded, "More than I have ever felt about anything."
