Is This Really Happening?

Chapter 16

We got up to his apartment and he made us some dinner. Nothing to fancy but it was so sweet when he cooked for us. My phone buzzed and I reached in my pocket and pulled it out. I was still in my swimsuit with jeans shorts and a cute laced top over it but I still need to change.

"Harry I'm going to change" I said from the living room.

I walked in the bathroom and looked at my phone. It was from Edith.

Edith: Guess what!!!! Niall just asked me to be his girlfriend!! Ahhhh

Me: Awesomeeee!!! Did you say yes?

Edith: Of course I did.

I was genuinely happy for her and started smiling and thinking back to when Harry and I first got together. That was a fun time, but all the drama with the paparazzi was really hard on me. But now I'm just used to it. And I'm so glad Harry and I are back together. I love him so much. I finished changing and took one last look in the mirror satisfied with my appearance. I pulled back my light brown hair into a bun and walked back out.

I decided to go see what he was making. I walked in and went over to Harry from the back side and wrapped my short arms around his waist. He turned towards me and leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him back and then he picked me up and swung me in a circle.

"You look beautiful" he whispered in my ear.

I still blushed whenever he gave me compliments. He turned back to his food and said it was almost done. I help him set the table as he finished cooking. It was a pretty simple yet delicious meal. One of my favorites, chicken alfredo pasta.

We sat down and had some small talk. I told him about Edith and Niall and he looked surprised.

"Why are you so surprised by that?" I asked him curiously

"Because whenever Niall has a crush he never does anything about it. He always just waits because hes to scared to do anything."

"Well he must really like Edith then" I replied.

We finished with dinner and went into his room to watch a movie. We layed on his bed and turned the movie on. I leaned in and kissed him, getting caught up in the moment. Soon enough he took off his shirt and started to remove mine. At first I was a little unsure but then I realized that we were both 18 and in love. It wasn't planned but we gave into the moment. 

After 5 months of waiting I had finally made love with Harry, who I loved more than anything else. Even thought we took a short break about a month and a half ago, we were still in love.

I woke up in the arms of Harry and smiled. He was stroking my hair and I felt the warmth of his body.

"Last night was amazing" I told him truthfully. I was glad I had waited for my first time, because it had made it even more special. But there was one thing that I was truthfully worried about. We hadn't used protection, and I was scared I was going to end up pregnant.

"Yes it was babe, I love you" he said kissing the top of my head. 

I turned toward him and smiled trying to hide my thoughts but I didn't do it that well.

"I know what your thinking. We got caught in the moment and didn't use protection." he said.

"I-I just don't want to end up as one of those statistics for teen pregnancies." I told him.

"I really don't think you will" he said looking straight into my eyes trying to reassure me. "And if you are, would that be such a bad thing?" he asked.

"Umm sort of" I said not really believing what he said. "I'm still in school, and I wanna travel and start a career before I get pregnant." I stated.

"Well if you are, I'm going to take care of you and the baby, because I will love you until the ends of the earth. No matter what happens I want to be with you forever." He opened the drawer in his night stand and pulled out a box. A million thoughts were racing through my head. Is he going to propose was my first thought.

"I want you to have this ring. It's a promise ring, not and engagement ring. I want you to know that the only girl I want is you. And I do want to marry you some day, but we're still too young. But I want you to have this as a promise, that no matter what happens I will always love you." he sweetly said giving me a quick kiss and placing the ring on my middle finger. 

"Thank you, for the ring, that means a lot. And I love you and want to be with you forever also" I said. I looked at my middle finger which now held two shinny sterling silver rings that were intertwined and connected together. It was nothing too flashy or elegant because he knew that wasn't my style. But on one ring it said I love you and the other said forever and aways.

I got out of bed and put on one of Harry's shirts that covered my body like a dress. I decided just to wear that because it was just Harry and I in the apartment.  It smelt just like his Bleu de Chanel cologne. It was super strong and I could always tell when he walked into the room. He got up and got dressed as well and walked out to go start breakfast.
