Don't let me go?

Chapter 36

Harry's POV

"Dance?!" She sounded surprised.

"Hahaha yes, Dance! Where two people move to the rhythm of the beats together." I chuckled.

"Ohh I'm sorry for my ignorance, I didn't know what a dance is." She mocked.

"So, may I have the pleasure of dancing with the beautiful lady?"

"You mean, now?!?"

"Of course I mean now Rose?"

"What time and place is this to dance?"

"I don't need to see the time and place before asking you for a dance. In fact this is the perfect moment. Just you and me, with nobody to disturb us. No preparations, no scope of mistakes and falters. Honestly, I love these unplanned, candid moments more than the planned ones."

"Well, that's okay then."

"So, shall we?"

I put my hand forward asking for the dance and she complied. We played some slow and soothing music and began dancing.

I pulled her towards me, held her right hand and placed my right hand on her waist. She looked so adorable with her messy hair, her gorgeous morning eyes. She so beautiful without even trying.

We swayed to the music in the background and soon her head was resting on my shoulder, close to my neck and both her hands went around my neck and mine, around her back.

I live for these moments with her.

"Thank you Harry." She spoke.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"I'm thanking you for all that you did for me last night. If you wouldn't have been there, God knows what would've happened. It was you who saved me from gettin-

I broke the hug and placed my hands on her lips.

"I don't even want to hear the possibilities of what could've happened. What matter is, nothing happened and you're safe in my arms now. I wouldn't let anything happen to you. I'm sorry I left you alone yesterday. I should've taken care of you in a better way."

"Harry, I don't think anyone has ever taken care of me better than you. I couldn't even ask for more. You stayed the night here for me, I'm so thankful for that. I could sleep only because of you. Had I been alone, I wouldn't have slept because everything would replay over and over again in my mind. Whatever you do for me, means a lot to me."

"I don't need your thank yous Rose, all I ask for is you being a part of my life. I know after whatever stupidity I did, it's tough for you to see me as the old Harry who was your friend. But I promise I'll keep all those feelings and everything aside and be your friend. I know it can be a little awkward and weird for you to manage all this sometimes, but I'll try to make you feel comfortable all the time."

"It's alright Harry. I don't see you differently. I know it can get a little awkward sometimes but you're still the old Harry to me."

"For a moment when you said No, I thought I'd lose you forever. But thank you for not letting me go."

"I won't let go."

We hugged each other when the door bell rang.

"I'll get it." I told her.

It was Niall and Louis.

"Hey Mate. What are you doing here?"  Niall said.

"Ohh, Rose wasn't in the best state yesterday and Liam is out for work for a couple of days or so. It wasn't the best idea to leave her alone so I stayed here."
