The One That Got Away

Chapter 22 (Part 1)

Harry POV

"the other stand, Harold"
"I'm tying the other strand!" I chuckled as I tied a strand of a flower crown I was making with Selena.
I don't know why, but she has really gotten me into these arts and crafts stuff, which I'm thinking the flower crowns would have to be my favorite make.
Well there goes my manliness.
"One strand....two strand...."
"You don't have to count"
"Yes I do because if I miss another strand, you'll be complaining on how I'm doing it wrong and such" I whined, Selena chuckling at me as I still struggle on tying the thing.
"DONE! YES, I'M DONE!" I cheered, holding the flower crown up in the in victory, Selena chuckling before looking at me.
"Harry, I have a little test for you...." she said, biting her bottom lip as I look at her confusedly.
"What kind of test?"
"On you being with me, and not with her" a familiar voice behind me says, making my eyes widen as I turn slowly and meet with the whole reason why I was in this position.
Oh no....Marissa.
"Marissa?" I stood up, walking towards her as we were now face to face, her gray eyes meeting my green ones.
"Come on Harold, forget this bitch. We're running away together"
"And why would I do that?"
"Because you're in love with me, not her. We're meant be, and always will be" she smirks, leaning over and kisses my cheek softly as I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
I let out a shaky breath, looking back at Selena as she just gives me a small smirk and nods.
Is she letting me go?
"Oh baby, you don't know how much I want you with me" Marissa said, wrapping her arms around me as I shut my eyes to feel in her kisses on my neck.
Nothing.
Kisses on my cheeks.
Nothing.
Kisses on my jawline.
Nothing.
She moves her lips onto mines as kisses with me with passion.
Kisses on my lips........
Nothing. Nothing at all.
I smiled as I pulled away, rolling my eyes as I wiped my lips of disgust, looking at her as she gives me a priceless expression on her face.
"What are you doing? It's me you're kissing Harry, your true love"
"That's where you're wrong my dear, very wrong" I chuckled, looking down at my hand as I still held the flower crown.
I smirked, looking up at the gray eyed female as she looks at with a pissed off expression.
"My true love, happens to be the one whose been there for me since day one. Not to mention, the one who taught me how to make this" I place the flower crown on my head as I smiled and sighed happily to myself.
"And she happens to be standing behind me" I looked back at brown eyed brunette, Selena smiling brightly at me as I smiled back right at her, my heart fluttering at the sigh of her beauty.
I turned towards her, walking up to her before grabbing her waist and pulling her close to me, slamming my lips over hers.
Kisses on my lips.....
Fireworks, sparks, shivers, tingles, heart beating, and mostly....love.
I cupped her cheeks with my hands, both of us smiling into our kiss as our lips move passionately in sync.
Why did I ever fall for Marissa's tricks?
Because I was a stupid fuck up that was blinded by my horny ways, insane in the head. But I realize now that I truly love the dazzling brunette, who I accidentally took a picture of over four years ago.
I pull away, turning around as I see that Marissa wasn't behind me no more, and I felt a piece of my heart and mind disintegrate from her. It was like, the weight was lifted off my shoulders now, I was free.
"I love you, Harry"
I looked at Selena as she had tears streaming down her face, chuckling slightly at me.
"Y-You.....you love me?" I asked, a smile forming on my face by just hearing those same exact words I've been waiting to hear for practically a year.
"I love you, you won me back Harold. No one can ever replace you in my heart and mind. You are my true love" she smiles, stroking my cheek with my thumb as I smiled, a few formed tears streaming out of my eyes.
"Don't cry baby" she chuckles, wiping my cheeks as I chuckle, taking her hands and bringing them up to my lips, kissing them.
"You don't know how long, I've been waiting to hear those words from you again"
"Well now you have, because I'm yours. Only yours"
She leans in, wrapping her arms around my neck as she kisses me softly, which I responded quickly to our kiss with my hands on her waist.
I won, I won her back......
