Cash

Harry had been acting strange ever since we came back from London. I didn't mind it at first because I knew he had a special project that he was working on, one he never let me know about. So it caused him to be gone quite a lot.

I was planning on asking him today what was going on because for the past 3 weeks he wasn't fully present when I was with him and that made me nervous.

"So, have you two had the talk yet?" Niall asked me handing me a cup of coffee.

"Talk?" I asked with my eyebrows drawn together.

"You are pretty serious, so like, y'know the future talk."

"Oh, yeah we did," I smiled remembering our talk.

"And?" He sang waiting for me to share the details.

"Well, we both know we want to get married so I guess it's just up to him when he asks?" I shrugged earning a huge smile from Niall. "What?" I laughed.

"I'm just happy for you Cash, I think it's amazing that you're finally at this point in life y'know? I've seen you over the course of our friendship and you are never more you or more happy than when you're with Harry. I'm happy for the both of you."

Niall's words made me smile and think about how true they were. I really never felt complete unless I was with Harry, he was that missing piece that I needed.

Niall didn't stay long, he had a hot date with Blair and Harry would be home soon, I wanted to make dinner for us and hopefully help him relax.

I was practically living at Harry's now, I honestly don't remember the last time I spent the night at my house and I wasn't complaining.

"Smells good," He said coming up behind me and pulling me into his chest.

"Thank you, how was your day?"

"Good, really good. Which reminds me are you busy this weekend?" I turned to look at him and he had a mischievous look on his face.

"Nope, I'm completely free, why?"

"I was thinking we could spend the weekend up at the cottage? I want to take some time just for us where we can relax."

"That sounds great, babe," I hummed kissing his lips.

"I'm going to take a shower, I love you."

"I love you," I smiled kissing him one last time.

I had plenty of time to light some candles and set the table for us to eat. He looked a lot more relaxed today and I wanted to keep it that way.

I had music playing from the record player and of course red wine poured into two glasses as Harry appeared with a sweet smile and wet hair from his shower.

"What is this?"

"Well, you just seemed a little distracted and stressed lately so I wanted to hopefully have a stress free night," I said as his arms wrapped around me.

"You're perfect, you that right? I love you."

"I am pretty great," I said sarcastically making him laugh. I gave him a kiss before mumbling against his lips, "I love you."

Dinner was filled with laughter and talking about another trip to see Mags soon. My mom stayed true to her word and called me a few days ago. The call was only ten minutes but she was trying and so was I despite how hard it was.

Now I was dancing with Harry in his living room after he pushed the couches back. My head was on his chest as he hugged me to himself and we swayed back and forth. I want to marry this man.

Sometimes it still didn't register that Harry was mine. I never knew love could feel like this, so wholesome and safe and freeing. That's what being with Harry felt like. It felt like I was who I was supposed to be when I was with him.

Soulmates.

"Do you believe in soulmates?" I asked him looking up at him.

He paused for a while and thought about it, "yeah I do."

"Me too," I smiled putting my head back on his chest.
