11: in love

well this was awkward.

the air was silent now. neither of us really knew what to say. at the time i thought harry would reject me instantly. but i didn't know he felt the same.

"i-im sorry i-i should-" i got up but he stopped me. he stood up, grabbed my hand and pulled me into his chest.
"i think im in love with you too" he said softly gazing into my eyes. seconds later our lips collided together. it felt so...perfect. i'd never felt anything like it before...also he was SUCH a good kisser. the way he caressed my cheeks made me melt.

we pulled away and smiled, our foreheads touching. i was way shorter than harry so thank fuck for my big shoes.
"i really like you harry" i said.
"i really like you too" he replied.
"really!?"
"was me not kissing you twice a sign?" he joked, causing me to giggle. "so...d'you wanna go on a date tonight?"
"I-i'd love to" i kissed his lips again softly causing him to giggle shyly.

so in the evening we went out to a cute restaurant.  i wore a long red slip dress with black heels whilst harry wore a suit - which he looked fucking stunning in.

The restaurant wasn't my typical scene but it was still lovely. we talked for ages and it was easier to eat due to having a distraction. and harry was the sweetest. i was falling so hard for him - every time he looked at me my heart melted. he could tell i was anxious  for sure but i think he was a bit as well. And when i was about to pay for my food he stopped me and said
"with what money?" Which made me laugh. He knew i didnt like people paying for me because i felt immense guilt but he did it anyway, the angel.

we hadn't called ourselves a couple yet but we did coupl-y things - and we were so fucking content. of course my mental health was still a bitch and i had frequent breakdowns and worried like the person i am but harry was always there to reassure me and give me a hand, and i was for him.

"I-it was right in-front of me..." I was close to tears because I lost my turquoise pen that i was using for my uni work.
"You silly goose, you're sitting on it" Harry lifted me up and showed me, causing me to cry and laugh - cry because i was clearly stupid and laugh because i was oblivious.

maybe he always would be here.
