Second Year Teacher

Chapter 26: Stuff That's Driving Me Insane

Harry's POV-

"Ready!" Lexi called, stepping out of the bathroom. I eyed her very short dress, black, and tight, with pink flowers and sparkles draping down one side. "Alexis Raisman, you look absolutely fit" I said, sweetly kissing her lips, and holding her hands. I eyed my white button down, and dark jeans, which I always wore. "Your the one that's fit" she whispered against my lips. I pulled away to smile, and stare into her matching green eyes. "Let's go babe" she whispered, pulling me out the door. I felt my pocket, making sure the little black box didn't disappear

......

About an hour of us sitting at a little table, in this really weird restaraunt called 'The Royal Dragon'. When I decided to make my move. I had spent all last night, teaching Alexis about One Direction. I showed her all the songs, from all of our albums, but mostly from Up All Night and Take Me Home, my favorites. She had been humming More Than This all day.

I stood up hesitantly, not sure what I was getting myself into. "I'm broken, do you hear me. I'm blinded, cause you are everything I see" I sang out, through the entire restaraunt. "I'm dancing, alone. I'm praying, that your heart will just turn around. And as I walk up to your door, my head turns to face the floor. Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say" I took Lexi's hand, standing her up, she stared at me, a confused look in her eyes. "When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight, it just won't feel right. When he lays you down, I might just die inside, it just don't feel right. Cause I can love you more than this, I can love you more than this." I said, gently kissing her hands.

I got down on one knee, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. As I stuttered out my little schpeal. "Lexi, these past few months have been amazing. Your one amazing girl, you've led me on adventures, twists and turns of our crazy relationship. But I love you, and I always will. And we're getting Julia back, together." I stood up, and intertwined his fngers in mine. "Alexis, will you marry me?" The whole restaraunt filled with awe's, as I stared into my beautiful girlfriend's tearful eyes.

I bit my lower lip, sad that she would say no. "Yes" she finally broke the silence, pulling me into a tight hug. She pulled away, and crashed her lips to mine. "I love you" she whispered in my ear, her fingers playing with the ends of my curls. "Love you too baby" I said, kissing her back.

....

We walked out of the restaraunt, hand in hand. A beautiful smile plastered across my wonderful fiance's face. When we saw a too familiar shaddow standing in the street corner. "Come here sweetheart!" we heard a husky voice say. "No, when can I go home and see Mummy?" we heard a little girl's voice whine. "We live here now sweetheart!" we heard the man's voice say. "But I wanna go home! With Mummy, and Mr. Styles!" We heard the little girl yell. We kept a safe distance behind. The man stepped into the light, illuminating the little girls face.

I would recognize those big eyes anywhere, "Julia" I whispered, gasping silently. "I have to go get her" Lexi said, jumping a little. "No. Just wait" we saw Julia's head tilt to the side. "Mummy!" she screamed, wiggling out of Peter's grip, and ran towards us. Until Peter grabbed the back of her jacket, pulling her back. He scooped her up into her arms, and ran in the other direction.

We chased after him for blocks and blocks, listening to Julia cry and scream for Lexi, and I... Peter ran into a building, and it was our que to stop. "She, she's here" Lexi collapsed into my arms. "Now, we can get her back, together" I pulled her up, and looked straight into her face. "Together" she smiled, pointing to the little ring on her fourthfinger, and giggled a little. "Thank you by the way" she smiled, as my arm snaked around her waist.

....

"Hey, Lou, can we come over?" I decided to call Lou, not just to brag about my engagement, but to tell him Peter was here. "Yeah, my friend from highschool and his kid are staying with me, the more the marrier!" Lou shouted, excited as always, into his phone. "Be there in a few" I hung up quickly.
