Valerie's POV

It was the day of my 20th birthday. Harry and I have been together for two years and are still going strong. 

"Val? You ready? We're about ready to go." Harry called up the stairs. He and the rest of the group have made reservations at a fancy restaurant to celebrate my birthday. "Coming!" I yelled as I touched some mascara to my eyelashes. I rubbed my lips together to blend the lip gloss and grabbed my purse ready to head downstairs. Oh right, i forgot to grab my bracelet. "Val....Don't make me drag you down there!" Louis said playfully as he walked towards me. I stepped back and narrowed my eyes. "You wouldn't da-ahhhh! Louis put me down now!" I squealed. Louis chuckled. "No can do babe." I rolled my eyes and began banging on his back.

"Louis William Tomlinson! What have you done to the poor girl!?" Isha said in a stern voice as we made it downstairs. I smirked. "Ohhh trouble!!" He glared back at me and I smiled innocently before rushing towards Harry. He wrapped an arm around my waist and tugged me towards the door. Isha and Louis were still bickering. "Hurry up guys we're gonna be late!" Harry urged whacking Louis on the head. "Ow! Haz!" Louis groaned but made his way outside anyway. We all entered the cars and drove to the restaurant. 

"Wow! Harry this looks really expensive!" I gaped. He chuckled. "Don't worry love it's on me." He reassured. I nodded, unconvinced but followed him inside. The place was beautiful. It was all white and gold with bouquets of red roses in the centre of every table. "Table under Harry Styles, please." Harry asked the Waiter. He led us over to our table and we thanked him kindly before taking our seats. 

"May I take your orders?" The waitor asked. We nodded. Niall began. "Can we get the prawn risotto, the blognaise the chicken parmigiana and the garlic prawns please." He said. We all looked at him open mouthed. He chuckled. "What? I'm a growing boy!" He defended. The waitor laughed and we continued ordering. 

After dinner, everyone was ready to go home. They began to walk to the cars but Harry stopped. "Actually, Val and I are gonna go for a walk. We'll catch you guys later." Louis wiggled his eyebrows and I held back a chuckle. They nodded and walked away. Harry took my hand and led me to the park. "What are we doing here?" I asked. He looked nervous. "I-I have to ask you something." He said shyly. I urged him on with a smile to calm his obvious nerves. 

He knelt down and took a box out of his pocket. I gasped. "W-will you marry me?" He asked hopefully. Tears brimmed at my eyes.  I nodded so hard that I thought my head would fall off. "Yes! Yes!" I squealed. He stood up relieved and took me in his arms. "I love you." He whispered. I looked him in the eyes. "I love you too." I said before engulfing him in a passionate kiss. 

Harry's POV

We walked towards the park. "What are we doing here?" Valerie asked. My nerves began to tense up. I can do this. I reassured myself. "I-I need to ask you something." I replied. She smiled, urging me on.  Here goes...

I knelt down and pulled the box out of my pocket. "W-will you marry me?" I stuttered. Why did I have to stutter!? I sounded so stupid. I opened the box to reveal the round diamond ring it contained. Tears welled up in her eyes and I began to panic. Why is she crying?! My heartbeat slowed when she began to nod. So they were happy tears! Phew! "Yes! Yes!" She squealed. I beamed and stood up to place the ring on her small, slim finger. I wrapped her in my arms and spun her around happily. 

"I love you Valerie." I said to her. She looked me directly in the eyes and I was mesmerised by her bright green irises. "I love you too." She whispered before kissing me passionately.

I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with the girl I love...

Valerie's POV

We walked home hand in hand, our love stronger than ever. I was getting married! Married to the love of my life. It was a dream come true. We opened the door to be bombarded by everyone. 

"What happened?" Lauren asked. Harry and I looked at each other before bursting into celebration mode. "We're engaged!" Everyone began to celebrate except Louis, who was mocking a hurt expression. "Haz! I thought what we had was special..." He pouted. "Oh shut up you." Emily laughed and lightly hit him on the head before kissing him lightly, turning his frown upside down. We had a full night of celebration and fun. I could not wait until our wedding day.
