I couldn't believe that I was looking at myself in the mirror. I agreed to let Gemma help me with my hair and makeup for my date with Harry.

She did amazing work.

"Wow." I breathed out.

"You look stunning." Anne told me from her seat.

"Thank you." I smiled.

Gemma styled my hair up with a few tundrels down. It was almost a little messy, which made it perfect.

My makeup was simple just like I liked it. She did a perfect cat eye.

I went into the bathroom to slip on my red dress. It looked even better on now that I was all made up. I put on my nude heels and took one last look at my outfit.

I felt beautiful.

I opened the bathroom door and stepped our. Anne and Gemma started gawking over me. I hugged them both and thanked them.

"What are you thanking us for, sweetheart?" Anne questioned.

"For being so welcoming."

Anne gave me another hug before we left the room. Harry had been gone most of the day, but he returned when I started getting ready. Gemma and Anne wouldn't let him see me.

He was waiting for me downstairs. I took a deep breath before I followed Anne and Gemma down the stairs.

Harry appeared from the living room and he watched as I walked down the steps.

He started to smile and my nerves went away.

"You look phenomenal." Harry told me when I finally made my way to him.

He was wearing a white button down shirt with black pants and a skinny black tie. He had on his usual boots and I smiled.

"So do you." I said.

I saw a camera flash and looked over at Gemma and Anne. They were both taking photos of Harry and I.

"This feels like we are going to an awkward school dance." I laughed.

"Have a fun time." Anne gave Harry and I each a hug before she and Gemma gathered their things. They were going out to dinner also.

When they left, Harry turned to me.
"I need you to put this on." He handed me a blindfold.

"Seriously?"

He nodded before he moved behind me and tied the blindfold across my eyes. I hated not being able to see.

"Harry! Please don't let me sprain my ankle with these heels on!" I warned him as we began walking. I knew that we were going to the back door when I felt the hardwood floors go to carpet.

"I promise, I won't let anything happen." Harry told me before I felt his lips touch my temple lightly.

I heard the back door open and Harry led me outside. I smelled fresh cut green grass as we made our way across it.

I felt butterflies in my stomach as I thought about what Harry could have planned. Knowing him it could be anything.

It felt like twenty minutes had passed by when Harry stopped walking.

I felt his hands go to the back of the blindfold and I could finally see.

The first thing I saw was the lights in the trees. I faintly heard music and then my eyes rested on the candlelight dinner that was near the stream.

I looked over at Harry, "This is beautiful."

He smiled and brought me closer to him, "I wanted to do something special for you. You deserve it."

He grabbed my hand and brought me over to the table. Under silver lids, there was steak with potatoes and green beans.

During dinner, Harry and I chatted about the plans of our moving in. I honestly couldn't wait to start a new chapter with him.

After everything we had been through, it was like we were going to get our happy ending after all.

"I sort of have a confession to make." Harry said once we had finished eating.
"What?"

"I was at your graduation a few months ago." He told me.

I knew it!

"I knew that it was you! Why didn't you come and talk to me?" I asked him.

He looked down at his hands, "We weren't exactly in a good place. I just wanted to be there to support you."

"Thank you." I told him. It didn't surprise me that even when he and I were at odds that he still wanted to be there for me.

"Running into you at the hotel was the best thing that could've happened." He smiled.

"We always seem to be running into each other." I laughed.

Harry reached across the table and grabbed my left hand, "It's our thing."

He stood up and gestured for me to do so. The music seemed to get louder and Harry and I started slow dancing.

"You are the only girl that will have my heart." Harry whispered to me as he brushed my bangs out of my eyes.

"I'm honored." I smiled.

Harry twirled me and then dipped me. He placed his hand on my cheek and bent down to press his lips against mine.

"I love you so much." Harry whispered as he pulled me into his arms.

"I love you too. More than you will ever know."

"Let's go for a splash." Harry grinned.
I took off my heels and we headed to the stream. The water was cold and I looked over as I watched Harry take his shoes off and his socks too.

He rolled the bottom of his dress pants up a bit and then he joined me.
I kicked some water his way.

"You shouldn't have done that, love." Harry laughed. He came towards me and I tried to move out of his way.

He grabbed me by my waist and twirled me around.

"Harry!" I laughed.

Once he stopped, we went to sit in the grass. I laid on my back and looked up and saw the stars. They seemed extra bright tonight.

I felt Harry's glance on me. I turned and saw him laying next to me. He was watching me.

"What are you looking at?" I asked him, teasingly.

"My future." He whispered.

I felt my heart beat a little faster at his answer.

I felt him reach down and lace his fingers with mine. His gaze was still locked on mine.

What came out of his mouth next was a complete surprise.

"Marry me, (y/n)." Harry breathed out.

THE END!

PART FOUR WILL BE UPLOADED SOON! :)
