The Story of Us

Move

As the Sun rose up above the threes I woke up. I looked around the house, and realised; This is my home now. Forget Split, forget Sevid, forget Croatia. North London, UK. That's it. Harry and I fell asleep on the couch with the TV on. A few hours later the moving truck came. We helped El and Lou with their stuff and when we finished we sat on the porch.

-So this is it?-Lou asked watching the truck driving off.

-I guess it is.-Harry continued watching in the same direction as Louis.

I looked at my watch. It was four PM. I was supposed to be at my old appartament to pick up my stuff an hour ago.

-Well, I've gotta go.-I said while getting up.

-So do we.-Lou said before taking Eleanor's hand and pulling her up. We all hugged eachother before Harry and I got into the car.

-Well, that's that.-he said while putting his seatbelt on and stairing at the ground. I grabbed his face with my hands. -You okay?-

-Yes, I'm just really happy for Louis.- he smiled at me and slowly started to come closer. His warm breath was playing with my hair before he finally kissed me. We just sat in the car kissing for a long time. When my face really began to hurt I smiled. We finally drove off to my aunt's city appartament. I wasn't there for 7 weeks so I didn't know what to expect. The place was full of dust which flew into the air the moment we opened the door.

-Wow!-Harry said coughing.

-I know.-we put all of my stuff in a few boxes we picked up on the way.

-What's this?-he asked while holding a white t-shirt in his hands.

-That's the shirt everyone in camp signed a few years back. See?-I pointed to the middle.-Euroclub summer youth camp. That day I ran around with a marker in my hand asking anyone I saw to sign it. That day must be in my top 10 list.-

-You keep a list of the best days of your life.-

-No. I just made it up, but the top three, up to now would be the day we met, the day you asked me to move in with you and the day you asked me to marry you.-

-Well, my top day will be when we get marryied and when our first child is born.-we put the boxes in the car and headed home. At the first red light, Harry said:

-What if we go away? Just the two of us.-

-Well...-

-I'm serious. Imagine laying one some beach of a lost island somewere in the Atlantic ocean while having sand in your feet. Nobody else. Just you and me and the birds.-

-It does sound good. But, I'm not sure. Isn't it a bit soon to plan a romantic getaway? I mean it's not that it's too soon, just a little bit out of the blue.-

-Look, if you don't want to, I get it.-it took me a while, but in the end I said yes.

-You know what? Let's go. You and me and the birds.-I smiled.

-Okay, as you wish.-he said and smiled back.

-Then, where will we go?-

-I know one place, but I want it to be a suprise.-

-A suprise? Sounds mysterious.-

even thought it was 10 in the evening when we got home, there were still people in front of the house waiting to see Harry. Somehow we managed to get to the front door with all my stuff. After we put all of the things away, he kissed me. Like he didn't even care that 30 people were watching. I looked in the crowd and saw me a year ago. Being in ''love'' with someone you had a one in a million chance to be with. But the chances don't really matter, do they? Because if they did, I probbably wouldn't be here in Harry's arms with his warm lips on mine.
