Typical Life (Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter Eighteen: The proposal

Chapter Eighteen:The proposal

[Caitlin’s POV]

I was at Louis, Zoe’s and Harrys house sitting on the lounge waiting for Lou. I tapped my foot on the ground impatiently, he’d taken quite a while to get ready now, which was strange because it only normally took him five minutes. Tonight was the night that marked our 3 year relationship; I’d been through everything with him right since the beginning including x-factor and I couldn’t wait to spend an amazing night with Louis as I turned around on the lounge to see him walking down the stairs in a pair of tight fitting jeans and polo. Very sexy, may I add. His hair was ruffled up like usual and he wore a pair of red converse shoes. Making his way over towards me he had a huge grin spread across his face, seeing his adorable smile made me smile too. “You look good!” I laughed at him as I stood up off of the couch and he wrapped his arms around me tightly. “And you look…” He paused pulling away from me and examining what I was wearing. “Stunning, like usual.” He then added with a chuckle and took my hand in his. “Shall we get going?” He asked as he took the lead, I smiled and followed him out of the door and into the car. He had arranged a stretched hummer to pick us up and I had no idea where we were going at all, seeing so he wasn’t wearing a suit I assumed it wasn’t going be a formal event. This did upset me. Did he think that this 3 year relationship was just some fling? I sighed pushing my thoughts to the back of my head as I sat next to Louis who was still managing to hold my hand in his lap. At the start of the car trip he looked nervous and stumbled across some of his words, but he soon calmed down and we got into a conversation about all of the memories we’ve shared while we’ve been together. The car trip was about an hour and the whole time I was wondering where we might be going. We were in the middle of nowhere and we soon arrived at a small cottage. Everything inside the small house was pitch black; there were no lights on. As we made our way out of the car Louis thanked the driver and I turned around to find the entire house surrounded in candles. I gasped at the sight. It was absolutely beautiful! I felt Lou’s arm wrap around my waist as we walked towards the door.

“Did I have you fooled?” He whispered into my ear as I pictured the smirk that was crawled across his face as he spoke.

“Never...” I giggled back at my boyfriend who had turned me around to face him and now stood across from me. He smiled kissed my cheek softly as he buried his face into my shoulder and wrapped his arms around me holding me close to him.

“Thank you for being everything I’ve ever hoped for.  Here’s to our 3 years together babe, I’m proud to say you’re my adorable girlfriend that I have fallen deeply in love with!” He said in a warm tone as he pulled himself away from me and looked straight into my eyes. I let a single tear slide down my cheek which he wiped away and held my face in his hand. I was extremely happy, I had the best boyfriend and out of any girl in the world, he picked me. It made me feel that extra bit special knowing that he could have almost anyone he wanted.

“No, thank you for being mine!” I said back happily. I adored this boy! He slipped his hand into mine and led me into the house. As he opened the door to the cottage a stunning dinner table with candles and rose petals was revealed. I was shocked. It looked like he had gone to great lengths for me. I smiled and squeezed his hand tighter, he chuckled.

“Hungry?” He asked as he turned his face towards me revealing a cheeky smile.

“Wow Lou! This is beautiful, thank you so much!” I said affectionately and pecked his lips. He smiled in reply and pulled out my chair for me. I sat down and he sat opposite of me. We talked for a while, and soon Lou vanished to the little kitchen and brought back two meals with him. For dinner we had a chicken curry courtesy of Zayn. Louis told me that he had kindly spent 3 hours making it for us today. I smiled at the though, hmm... Master Chef Zayn? I giggled. For dessert we had carrot cake and ice cream, Louis favourite.  We kept a flowing conversation the whole night, talking about anything and everything and reminiscing the memories we had shared together over the past three years. With Louis, time just went so fast and I began to ponder exactly where those three years had gone! They’d flown by so quickly and I couldn’t even begin to imagine a better person to spend them with. I smiled at the thought of the future and my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Louis amazingly sexy voice “Movie Time?” He asked happily. As he left the dinner table and pulled out a pile of movies from behind the huge plasma TV. I fell back onto the lounge and watched Louis aimlessly. I heard him talking to himself as he read through the titles of the movies “The lovers, prom night, Killer on the loose… that’ll be a no…” he trailed off, and I couldn’t help but laugh. He soon found a movie and quickly put it into the DVD player, he ran up and dived on top of me joining me on the lounge and wrapped his arms around me refusing to let go. I hugged him back, and we lay there silently until the movie began to play. I knew he wanted this night to be special so I did everything humanly possible to stay awake.  I sat cuddled up in his arms for the duration of the movie and buried my head into his arms that were securely wrapped around me when things got scary. After the movie was over Lou told me he had to dash off to the bathroom, he quickly disappeared and left me sitting alone on the lounge. After ten minutes, I began to wonder what he might be up to. I made my way through the small cottage and to the bedroom where I found the door slightly open. The lights were off and I peered through the door to find Louis sitting on the bed with his head tilted towards the ground with his hands through his perfectly styled hair. As I opened the door and further made my way in the room heading towards him his beautiful crystal eyes shifted from the ground and onto me.  “Sorry love. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting by yourself” He began. “It’s fine, but may I ask what you are doing?” I said trying not to sound bothered. Almost instantly he took a deep breath and began to make his way towards me. I was left with no response. What was going on? Normally he seemed more talkative than this. I sighed and he wrapped his arms around me. We stood there in silence for a few minutes as he hugged me tightly. “You love me right?” He asked in a soft voice.

“That’s a silly question...” I replied curiously.

“Caitlin…” Louis said as he began to get down onto the floor. I didn’t realise what was going on until I saw him kneeling on one knee and reaching for his back pocket. By then I knew what was coming next and I gasped not believing my own thoughts.

“Y-Yes?” I stumbled with my words.

“We’ve been together for three years now…” He began and I nodded for him to continue.

“You’ve been here for me since the beginning, I remember those days when we used to go crazy! And those nights that were just full of love and passion. I remember those times when I needed you and you were always there for me, and most of all I remember how in love with you I’ve always been! As I sit here now, I really can’t bring myself to even imagining a life that you’re not in. I am in love with you, Caitlin Chambers, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you! I want to spend every night with you in my arms, and I want to be able to tell everyone I know that you are my wife, so will you do me the honour in becoming Mrs Tomlinson!?” He asked as he simultaneously opened a small box that sat in the palm of his hand. As the lid opened, there sat a beautiful gold diamond ring. With the biggest diamond I have ever seen in it! It was surrounded by rubies and looked absolutely stunning. Still shocked about everything I had just heard I struggled to find the right words to say. I didn’t want to hesitate and I knew how I wanted things to be. With the biggest smile on my face I screamed the word he was waiting for me to say. “YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!” I said screamed lovingly as I excitedly tackled him to the ground and my lips found his. This was one of those perfect moments, and one that would last a life time. He quickly close the box and slid it away into the corner of the room. He kissed me back passionately as his fingers locked in my hair. I could feel him smiling every time he broke away from the kiss. He stood up and pulled me into his arms and hugged me as tight as he could. “Why am I so lucky?” He whispered as his face was just inches away from mine. Staring back into his eyes I replied “I don’t know, I just guess we’re the perfect two…” I smiled and closed the gap between us as we fell back onto the bed. Tonight was something I would always remember.
