Austyn's POV

After the waiter Luke, had brought us our dinner, I looked over to Harry who was getting more nervous by the minute. "Harry, its okay. Its me, you can tell me anything." I soothe him. "You're right, I can. I'm just nervous, I guess." He tells me. I watch as he takes a deep breath. "Austyn, you're more than just my best friend. You're my favorite part of the day, my sunshine on a cloudy day. You're so amazing and you dont even realize. I've watched on the sidelines as guys treat you like shit and I'm constantly telling myself that I could treat you better, if you'd let me," He takes my hands in his. "Austyn, will you please do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" Harry looks me in the eyes and I feel my heart swell.

Harry was everything I've ever wanted in a guy. He's sweet and charming and he has an amazing sense of humor. He's been to special for every girl he's ever dated. Taylor didnt treat him right, Kendall was just using him, and Caroline didnt want to settle for someone as awesome as Harry. It was impossible to convince myself that Harry and I wouldn't be an amazing couple. I've heard that the best relationship is one where you're also best friends. "Well...?" Harry asks me, pulling me out of my daydream.
"Harry, yes, I'd love to be your girlfriend." He squeezes my hands and smiles. A smile that made my heart full. The dimple in his left cheek was popping and I couldn't help but reach over and poke it. I watch as Luke walks by, "check?" I say to him.

Later that evening...

"Harry, this view is beautiful!" After dinner, Harry had mentioned that he wanted to show me something down at the beach. We had walked up to the end of the pier. It was just us two. The stars were shining brightly in the night sky. The moon full and reflecting off the ocean. "Yes, you are." Harry tells me, caressing my cheek. I watch as he slowly leans into me, getting closer and closer to my face. Is this it? Were Harry and I about to share our first kiss? I'm disappointed when he plants a kiss on my cheek. We stood there for what felt like hours, Harry wrapping me in his arms. His soft humming in my ear was sending an arrow straight through my heart. He doesn't even realize how he's affecting me. I'm seeing a completely different side of him right now and I love it.

"Let's go grab my guitar from out of the trunk, I wanna show you something I've been working on." Harry tells me, grabbing my hand.
After getting his guitar, we lay a blanket out on the sand and he starts playing a beautiful, slow melody.

"Your hand fits in mine like its made just for me but bear this in mind, it was meant to be,

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks and it all makes sense to me,

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile

You've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly,"

I could feel my face reddening as he sang to me.

"I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth but if I do, its you oh its you they add up to, I'm in love with you and these little things."

When he finished singing, I had tears welling in my eyes. That song was so beautiful and the fact that Harry wrote it just for me, makes it even more special. I loved it. Did I love Harry? Of course I loved him as my best friend, but was I willing to let go and love him as something more?

Harry's POV

Seeing her smile to my song made me feel so happy. She didnt smile enough, thats for sure. Feeling brave, I looked over at her and said "I know we just started dating but, can I kiss you?" She blushes. "Yes." I turn my body around so I can face her. I use my right hand to tuck some hair behind her ear, leaning in closer, our lips finally touch and it was then that I realized that I was falling in love with Austyn. My best friend.
