Finding Yourself

chapter 69

I couldn't do anything but stare at him. My mouth was moving but no sound would come out. Fresh tears pooled in my eyes as he walked towards me.

"I'm just gunna..." Zayn pointed down the stairs and left me and Harry in my room.

"Melanie." He said quietly. "You're everything to me. I can't imagine my life without you anymore and I love you more than I could explain. Just... marry me."

I blinked the tears away from my eyes and nodded slowly. "I will." I said quietly.

He grinned and I did too.

"I will, I will, I will." I said, louder this time.

I threw my arms around his neck and he lifted me up so my legs wrapped around his stomach. I cried onto his shoulder and he gripped me tight.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered over and over.

He stroked my hair and we sat down on my bed. "Your ring is at my place. This isn't how I wanted to propose Melanie." He laughed.

"Sorry." I smiled and dropped my head.

He lifted it back up again by cupping my chin. "I guess I would of thought the same thing. I didn't even think about how it looked, I was just worried you'd see the paperwork on the table and find out." He smiled.

"I didn't even notice any paperwork." I giggled. "I really thought I'd lost you." I said shaking my head.

He pulled me close again and rubbed my back. "You'll never lose me, okay? I promise you."

I nodded my head and after a while we went back down to see Zayn. He gave me a hug before doing the same to Harry.

"You knew didn't you?" I asked Zayn.

"Course I did." He grinned. "That's why I'm here."

He pulled me into another hug. "I didn't think you'd be engaged today though I must admit." He winked.

"When was it meant to happen?" I said, glancing at Harry.

"Tomorrow at my place. My mum will be in town tonight." He laughed.

I covered my face with my hands and shook my head. How could I have thought Harry would cheat on me right under my nose? I would be lying if I said him sleeping with Chelsea behind my back didn't push me further towards the idea but I should of trusted him. Now I feel like a massive dick. Oh Mel, when will you ever learn?

 "I'm such an idiot. I'm sorry."

"It's doesn't matter." Harry said, draping his arm over my shoulder. "I suppose everything we've ever been through has been a surprise." He laughed.

"Do the other boys know too?"

"Everyone knows." Harry smiled.

"Even my mum and dad?"

He shook his head. "I couldn't get hold of them and I didn't think you're dad would be too pleased if I turned up at his house. Sorry baby, we can go over tonight if you want?"

"No, I don't want them to know yet. I'll let them know closer to the time and if they want to come they can but I'm not forcing them."

"Don't you want your dad to walk you down the isle?" Harry asked.

I shook my head. "I want Zayn to do that."

Zayn raised his eyebrows. "Me?"

I nodded. "Don't you want to?"

"Mel, I'd love to." He grinned.

The three of us went to Harrys house and I got my ring. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was white gold band with small diamonds around it with a slightly bigger diamond on top. I loved it and I haven't stopped staring at it. Before long Niall, Louis and Liam came home. It was pretty normal until Louis noticed my ring.
