My True Soulmate (Harlena Fanfiction)

Chapter 17

Harry

"Harry... I'm in love with you."

When I heard those words I don't know what I felt. Happy, relieved, scared... mutual. It was a mutual feeling, definitely. I didn't have to second-guess my love for Darcy. I am in love with her, no doubt about it, and that's what scares me.

I love her million dollar smile, her squeaky laugh, her adorable giggle, her long, dark hair, her bad ass, silver nose-ring, her chocolate eyes, her skinny but curvy body, her cheeky, comfortable, calm and free personality... everything. I always thought about it but I never really admitted it to myself.

Now that she's said it, I can definitely confirm my feelings for her. I've been in love with her since she first talked to me. Figuratively not technically. What I think is, I was in love her when I first saw her but I just didn't know. It was like a destined love but we just found each other.

That's why I can definitely say that I am so in love with this beautiful girl in front of me but I just don't know why I can't tell her out loud. Darcy has just said she's in love with me and as much as I want to jump around and hug her and kiss her, I just can't. I can't. I'm frozen.

I'm stood here, speechless and in shock, staring at the love of my life with my lips sealed when they should be open and telling her I love her too.

"I guess the feeling's not mutual? Well... let's not make it awkward. Let's continue roaming around Paris..." she says awkwardly. Of course she would try to make this less weird than it really is.

I managed to nod my head and watch as she starts to walk away from the railing and to the elevator before I end up following suit. Everything is awkward: the elevator ride, the walk, the shopping. Everything.

Darcy

I've been in love before, trust me. But when he told me he loved me, I said it back. I could've sworn, with Harry's actions lately, that he was in love with me, too. That's why I had told him. I was almost so sure. I tried to act like it didn't faze me and just continue on with the day but my heart is torn to bits and pieces. I didn't want to fall in love because of the fear of suffering another heart break but, unfortunately, I broke the promise to myself. We've gone shopping and walked around the city and I've even taken pictures but Harry hasn't said a word since I confessed my love toward him.

I have finally had enough of his silence, now. I grabbed his arm and pushed him to the side where no one on the streets would bump into us. I gave him a stern look and watched his face soften.

"It was your idea to come to Paris and I'm sorry if I ruined it by admitting my love for you but let's just forget I ever said anything, okay? Let's just make the most of this and have fun. Can you handle that?" He nodded. "Talk! Say something, Harry!"

"Let me take you somewhere." He said.

"Finally." I breathed. He hesitantly grabbed my hand and led me to where we were going.

"The Lock Fence." I said.

He pulled out a lock from his pocket. "I bought this while you were buying a hat. Do you have a marker?"

I gave him a sharpie from my pocket and waited for him to finish what he was writing. He then gave me the lock and sharpie as he took out the key to unlock it. It read:

H + D For Eternity. I love you.

"I'm sorry I couldn't say it. I'm new to this whole... love thing." He said, shyly.
