*Harry's POV*

This is exactly why I don't deserve Madelyn. Obviously I am in love with her but the idea of her loving me scares me hell, the idea of her loving another guy hurts even more though. I am just so scared of hurting her or do something wrong that makes me lose her all together which is exactly why I held back admitting my feelings in for the first place. But it took her telling me she may be moving across the country for me to get enough courage to even be a fucking bigger man and just be honest with not just herself but me in general. 

*Madelyn's POV*

This is exactly why I don't deserve Harry. I want to be the best girlfriend and his best friend but dealing with both is too much. He wants to live his life and enjoy his life while I am obsessed with the idea of having to go to college to make something better of just me. He doesn't deserved to be dragged around to the city just for the sake of me being happy because honestly, I cannot see him pretending to be happy just for me and for having me around. Sure the nights in, in a tiny apartment in the city late at night with him is everything and more but what happens when I need to focus on studying but I am more distracted by his tattoos and hair to put my work before him. He deserves to have fun, find himself, enjoy his life, and not be dragged by me. This was a mistake.

"Don't call him..." 

Harry's voice breaks my thoughts and jump while looking down at my phone.

"Harry, please. Just... I want to be alone."

"Please, can we just talk it out a bit more... I don't know... Maturely." 

"Harry this is an impossible conversation I really don't want to deal with right now."

"Babe."

His voice catches me off guard and I want to step out of his arm that lightly wraps around my hip.

"Please stop."

"I meant what I said about enjoying our time we have now. I want you to go off to college and focus on being a successful student at your artsy fartsy school." He laughs shyly with a shrug, "But until then... I really just honestly and genuinely want to spend as much time with you without fighting. Just like we always do but just with a little bit more..." His lips catch me off guard when they lightly peck behind my ear. "This, you know." He whispers with another peck forcing me to release a sigh.

"I really do want to enjoy the time I have with you. I'm just scared."

"Fuck that, babe. Just forget everything for right now and come inside with me."

I sigh locking my phone, "Okay..."

He smiles letting go of my side and interlocking our hands together before walking inside to get our regular booth. 

The breakfast actually went a lot better than I expected it to be about 30 minutes ago. The awesome thing about him and I is that things are natural. Even after some odd random fight we just push out everything and let it go along. We don't need anything fancy to have a decent conversations, without our phones out, and enjoy each other's company. Which is the most important thing, right?

"You know this is kind of our first date." Harry said laughing after he took a bite of his pancakes.

"I guess so. Don't think a first date has ever started off with an argument before though." I raise my eyebrow with a giggle.

"There's a first for everything." He said proudly with a chuckle before putting his card in the holder when the waitress brought it to him.

"Let's do this more often."

"I'd like that." I smile, "Thank you." I said motioning my head towards the card holder.

Harry shrugged with a laugh, "See I can be a gentleman on dates."

"Or are you just trying really hard?" 

"Both." He smirked before finishing off the remaining food on his plate.

*Harry's POV*

See, this is how things are supposed to be and plus for the first time I'm not impatient to leave a date or bring her home just for a good fix. I like this, if this is what having a girlfriend is actually like. But is it bad to feel already so much for someone after a first date? 

"Do you want to go the cove?"

"Hm?"

"I'm not really in the mood to go back home just yet... Do you just want to get some fresh air for a bit?" I asked walking with me out to the car.

"Well yeah, sure." She smiles shyly after placing my hand lightly on her back to lead her. 

The cove has always been a place our group of friends go at night for bonfires, parties, and just small gatherings. Never really had too many chances to go during the day but I figured it was the best place to end the rest of our date. Once there I found a blanket from the trunk I kept for the cove parties and carried in front of my body as we walked in down the hill to the cove. There was groups of families enjoy the day off on the water and getting some sun. Once finding a spot, she takes the blanket from me laying it out on an open spot. 

Is it stupid to say?

Fuck.

"You know... It's crazy, how long I have actually loved you."

Shit.

Wait, I take it back.

She furrows her eyebrows a bit and turns to look at me.

*Madelyn's POV*

I always had a gut feeling and obviously it's always be a friendly I love you casually but how does one even react when someone says that out of nowhere?

"Um, ha. Well I... That's why we always picked Princess and Prince together."

"Yeah but..."

"What?"

"Mads, it's obvious how much I like you."

"I... Harry."

"Have you ever been told I love you on a first date?"

"I think that may be a first."

"Is this a bit... Too Frozen?"

I couldn't help but laugh at his comment, "You actually paid attention to the movie?"

"What! It wasn't that bad." He smirked before resting his head on the shoulder.

"I mean, we're not just meeting."

"This is a bit insane." Harry laughed before quickly leaning in to kiss his lips. A quick sharp breath from his throat sent shivers down my shoulders as he relaxed from laughing.

"What are you doing?" Harry said breaking the kiss leaving his bottom lip lingering on mine.

"I feel the same way." I can only whisper before smiling softly against his.

The feeling of someone smiling before kissing you is honestly the most content feeling in the world. That you are making them happy, that they feel comfortable being so close to you and just smile. I would trade the world to have moments like this with Harry all the time. I am in love with him, I have been for years and I can finally admit to myself. Have the courage to say it and all I want to do is run  with a sign saying I do and he knows. He knows without me having to even say it loud, because we just bot feel it. Like this.
