From a chance meeting and a bet to commitment and relationship struggles. This story follows what life was like for Harry and Lucy before everything went pear-shaped and they went their separate ways.

Lucy PoV
Harry and I went out to have lunch, just us two because we actually haven't been out in a few weeks. after the launch of my brand i have been extra busy with signing some notes for packages and making sure that everything runs smoothly so i have barely seen Harry, like properly in the last few weeks.
we did go to my cousin's wedding last weekend which was really nice. it was also a chance for Harry to meet literally every single one of my family members. which was both good and a little bit horrific. some of my family are lovely and i adore them to pieces and the other ones, well, i just stay well away from them.
''where do you want to eat?'' Harry asks me
''i don't mind, i'm just really hungry'' i reply
''do you want to just go to Nandos?'' he asked me. it did sounds good and it was close by
''yeah, let's go there'' i reply and we walk in the direction of Nandos
Harry PoV
Lucy had somehow convinced me to go shopping with her after we had some lunch in the shopping center and now i am just watching her try loads of things on. she walks out in a dress, that isn't completely done up.
''can you zip me please?'' she asks me
''yep'' i reply as i stand up and pull at the zip on her back
''what do you think? is it too short? are the sleeves too tight?'' she asks me as she spins around in it
''i don't know. i guess it's nice'' i reply
''well thank you, i feel so special'' she says as we both laugh
''i'm sorry. i'm just really bored. we have been here for hours''
''okay, i'm sorry. i'm almost done here and then we can go''
''why don't i just meet you outside?'' i ask her
''so, you don't want to see my try on some bikinis then'' she jokes before turning around back into the cubicle
''i'll maybe just stay here for a little bit then'' i joke back and i hear her laugh
