With my eyes still closed my hands patted the covers around me. Disappointment grew when I realised he wasn't laid in bed beside me. My eyes fluttered open only to find my vision obscured by my long, dark hair. I sat up, lazily trying to blow the hair away with my mouth. Unsuccessful, I eventually swept it back with my hand.

I frowned as I heard the water turn on in the bathroom. He was already up, he never got up before I was awake. Neither of us were morning people. Upon hearing the alarm clock, he would sleepily hit the snooze button only to groan when it rang out again five minutes later. We would then either engage in a game of "rock, paper, scissors", a thumb war or playfully wrestle to decide who had to get up first. It made me laugh how most of the time he would let me win, ending up with me pinning him to the bed. He would dramatically sigh in defeat then teasingly push me off, getting up to have a shower. But we had skipped that this morning.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed, my feet hitting the carpet. Glancing over to the corner of the room, my eyes landed on a familiar sight. I smiled. Bert, the teddy bear was sitting is his usual place on the large red chair. I adjusted my pj top before padding over to the bathroom door.

"Harry?" I knocked on the door.

"Yeah?" he replied through the wood.

"Are you alright?"

"Umm, yeah I'm fine, why?" I heard his voice over the shower.

"Doesn't matter" I shook my head "do you want some breakfast?"

"No thanks, I'm not hungry."

"Oh ok."

 ***

I shoved some toast into my mouth just as Harry walked into the kitchen. His curls still damp, making his way over to the kettle to make himself some tea. His jeans were slung low on his hips, the band of his boxers revealed when he reached up to get a mug from the cupboard. Harry placed the mug on the side; his t shirt came down again to cover his tanned skin.  He laughed as I spoke through a mouthful of food.

"What was that?" he smiled.

I swallowed the toast and took a sip of water.

"I said, remember that we're going to see my parents today."

"I didn't forget." He stared at me.

He leant back on the counter crossing his arms over his broad chest waiting for the kettle to boil. His gaze still on me as I finished my breakfast.

"What?" I asked

"Nothing, you're just really cute when you first get up."

His adorable dimples indented in his cheeks as he smiled at me. My hands instantly darting up to my head, trying to tame the wild curls that I knew he was referring to. I quickly got down from the stool, accidently catching my foot on one of the legs before shuffling over to the sink placing my plate and glass in.

"I'm going to have my shower." I stated quietly.

As I walked past him he caught hold of my wrist pulling me into his body. He placed a lingering kiss on my cheek before releasing his hold. I playfully pushed him away, giggling. He responded by gently slapping me on the bum.

"Watch it, Styles." I teasingly warned.

He chuckled as I wiggled my hips strutting out of the room.

 ***

I got out of the shower wrapping a purple towel round my body. My hands trying to ring as much water out of my hair as possible as I leant over the sink. I dried off pulling on my underwear and turning on the hairdryer. I walked into the bedroom where Harry was sat at the bed. His green eyes burnt into me as I rummaged in the drawers finding a top and pair of jeans to wear. Harry let out a throaty chuckle as jumped up and down pulling the jeans up my legs. I turned away from him picking up my top. I gasped when a pair of strong arms wrapped round my waist. He rested his head on my shoulder as he stood behind me.

"I love you." Harry whispered into the skin of my neck.

My eyes fluttered closed and I sighed feeling him gently suck on the spot just below my ear.

"I love you too."

His fingers trailed down my front to the top of my jeans, which he tried to unbutton.

"No, no, no." I pried his fingers away. "We have to be at my parents soon."

I spun round to see his lips pouted, a pleading expression on his face. I refused to give in though.

"Now keep your wandering hands to yourself." I grinned at him as I pushed him back onto the bed.

"Fine." He huffed.

He sat there watching as I finished dressing and taming my hair. I walked into the bathroom grabbing my toothbrush from the mug on the side. Glancing back up from running the brush under the tap I was graced with Harry's reflection in the mirror. He bumped my hip as we stood and cleaned our teeth together.

 ***

"Come on, Harry!" I called through the flat.

I was stood at the front door waiting for him. He jogged from our bedroom down the hall.

"About time to, Styles."

He looked a little flustered as he approached me. I helped him pull on the navy blue jumper he gripped in his hand. Whilst he put on his shoes I got his coat down from the hook, handing it to him then opening the door.  

He patted himself down making sure he had everything before shutting the front door and locking it. I smiled up at him as he took my hand in his larger one. We walked down the steps from our flat and onto path. Harry's red car came into view and I was soon sat in the passenger seat. I glanced over to Harry sitting beside me. He gripped the steering wheel tightly before drawing in a shaky breath.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

He shook his dark curls, turning to me.

"Sorry, what?"

"Are you ok?"

"Fine."

I wasn't convinced by his answer as he forced a small smile. The ride to my parent's house was quiet, normally it was filled with laughing as we talked. I loved to listen to Harry sing along to the radio. His beautiful raspy voice comforted me. I didn't particularly like the silence, instead watching trees blurring past the window.

 ***

"Mum!" I called out when we exited the car.

She engulfed me into a hug, tightly squeezing me as I laughed. My mum pulled back, noticing Harry walk round the car towards us.

"Harry!"

He smiled as she pulled him into an equally tight hug.

"Hi Sue."

My mum held Harry back at arm's length.

"I think your hair is getting curlier, Harry." He laughed at her comment.

"Mum." I said rolling my eyes in embarrassment.

"Let's get you two inside. Chloe and Craig are already here."

I ran inside calling out my older sister's name. Once I found her in the living room I practically jumped on her. We hadn't seen each other in a good couple of weeks. I ruffled her blonde hair, causing her blue eyes to narrow at me, batting my hand away.

"Hey Ted." She laughed into my hair.

I heard deep chuckles, we both looked up to find Craig and Harry watching as I embraced my sister. I got up pulling in Craig for a hug as Chloe greeted Harry.

"Teddy, Harry."

I smiled as my dad appeared in the doorway. He shook Harry's hand before giving him a quick hug. I kissed him on the cheek as he cuddled me.

"We thought we'd go for a walk after lunch, that sound alright?"

The four of us nodded, I began to feel quite hungry at the thought of food. We ate soon after, then went to get ready for out little trip out.

I plodded up the stairs to my old room in my parent's house. I could hear Harry laughing on the phone.

"Thanks mate. I'll talk to you lot later."

He hung up the phone just as I walked in.

"That the boys?" I smiled.

"Yeah." His dimpled grin spreading across his face.

"They all ok?"

"Great thanks, think I might go see them later this week."

"WAAHAY! Lad's night out." I attempted in my best manly voice whilst pumping my fist in the air.

Harry let out a deep laugh before playfully nudging my shoulder.

"We sound nothing like that. You dork."

I pulled open my bottom drawer in search of a hat.

"Well, to balance out the testosterone that evening I might text the girls, have a ladies night in." I winked at him.

"Be careful, last time I found purple nail varnish under one of the sofa cushions."

My eyes widened.

"Oh, that was Michelle."

"Yeah, alright." He replied sarcastically, both of us knowing full well it was probably me and my clumsy self, especially once I had had a couple of glasses of wine.

I turned around hoping he didn't see the guilty look on my face before pulling on my hat, adjusting it in the mirror.

"You ready to go?"

"Just give me a minute." He nodded.

 ***

I sat on the sofa downstairs talking with my sister and her husband whilst pulling on my shoes. I jumped up upon hearing my mum shriek.

"Mum!" I called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Umm, she's fine!" Harry called back.

There was shuffling around before I heard my bedroom door close. When they both emerged a few minutes later my mum gave me a huge smile. Harry on the other hand looked panicked again.

"What happened?" I questioned.

"Nothing." They said at the same time.

"Let's go, shall we?" My mum suggested, ushering us all out the door.

Harry and I got in the car, buckling in then following my parent's car off the drive. I saw my sister turn round in the car in front, her and Craig in the backseat. She waved at us from the rear window; I shook my head laughing before returning the gesture. It wasn't long before both our cars turned up a country road and we pulled in.

 ***

Out of the corner of my eye I saw my mum nudge Harry. Her head flicked in front of us to where Craig and my Dad were leading the way over the vast field. She gave him a small reassuring smile.

"Well, as much as I enjoy listening to you three talk about Ryan Gosling, I need to speak to your dad and Craig about the car." Harry joking spoke as he squeezed my hand.

"What about?"

"It didn't sound right when we drove down today."

"Is that why you were so quiet?" I frowned.

"Err, yeah."

I watched his curls bounce as he jogged ahead. When he reached them my dad gave him a manly pat on the back, Harry stepping forward so he could walk in between them. The three of them were quite tall but Harry had a couple of inches above them. I couldn't concentrate on our previous conversation as I looked at Harry start to speak to my dad. All of a sudden Craig and my dad both abruptly stopped. Harry's head turned from one to the other, an expression of fear on his face. His body relaxed with a sigh of relief when they smiled broadly. Craig caught hold of his shoulder and squeezed it. My dad once again patting him on the back.

"What do you think is going on?" I asked my sister and mum.

My older sister shrugged at me, my mum shaking her head. Not long after, Craig pulled back from Harry and my dad. He caught hold of Chloe's hand, tugging her to him and kissing her cheek. My mum and I carried on walking; we linked arms as they flagged behind. I turned my head sharply as Chloe squeaked in response to something Craig told her. Her hand shot up to her mouth trying to cover her outburst. She grinned at me once she removed her hand. I smiled back with a slightly confused look on my face. I turned back again continuing my conversation with my mum.

Harry glanced back toward us, my lips curved up into a small smile. He said something to my dad before turning and jogging back to me. My mum quickly let go as Harry approached, she stepped to the side and made her way to my dad. I giggled as Harry picked me up and spun me round.

"You seem happier, Mr."

I poked him in the dimple as he placed me back on the ground. He placed a sweet kiss in my lips.

"You're beautiful, you know that." He whispered to me.

I blushed as he pushed some of my hair back from my face. I didn't notice as Chloe and Craig overtook us, leaving us at the back of the group. She rested her head on his shoulder as they talked quietly.

"They're so cute." Chloe spoke in a hushed tone to her husband, as they continued to walk.

"Come on." Harry said as he placed a strong arm over my shoulder and we followed after the two couples in front of us.

About an hour and half later we made our way back to the cars, the afternoon slowly drawing to a close. We decided to go home early, saying goodbye to the four of them. I frowned as I noticed my mum's eyes starting to water. I cuddled her.

"Mum, why are you crying, we're going to be back next weekend." I smiled. "We're helping dad move boxes out of the garage."

"I know Ted, just being silly."

She wiped away the tears that escaped from her eyes. I didn't get to see my family as often as I liked, but we always made the effort to come down as frequently as we could. Harry hugged my mum last, whispering something to her that I couldn't hear. He pulled back and I saw her smile.

"See you on Saturday!" I called out as we got in the car.

 ***

"Where are we going?" I questioned as we made a left.

"Taking a different route home." Harry smiled.

The car slowly came to a stop.

"Oh my god, is this the part where you take me to the woods and kill me?" I gasped jokingly.

Harry shook his head as he laughed, his curls falling over his forehead. He swept them to the side before answering.

"No, now get your arse out of the car before I have to carry you out."

"Nice to see you're keeping the romance alive, Styles."

He smirked before opening his car door and getting out. I repeated his actions climbing out the opposite side. I walked round to the front of the vehicle where Harry was waiting with an outstretched hand. I accepted it as he helped me up onto the bonnet. He climbed on next to me with ease.

"This is like what they do in the American films." I gushed.

We both laid back, Harry's fingers entwined with mine. I gasped as I realised what we were looking at. The pinky, orange sunset burst through the trees illuminating the forest. 

"It's beautiful, Harry." I whispered, unable to take my eyes off the landscape in front of me.

"I thought you might like it."

I squeezed his large hand tighter as we watched for a while longer, the sun falling lower in the sky.

"Teddy?"

"Yeah."

I rolled my head to the side meeting Harry's green eyes. He slid off the bonnet, tugging me with him. I laughed as he lifted me down. He drew in a shaky breath, pulling me into his warm body.

"I love you so much." He paused. "I look forward to waking up next to you every morning. To feeling your touch, hearing you laugh, seeing you smile."

His dimples appeared in his cheeks as his lips curled up into a heart-fluttering smile.

"I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

I gasped as he knelt down on one knee in front of me. He held my left hand as he dug round in his back pocket. He pulled out a small black box and opened it. The beautiful ring sparkled in the remaining colourful rays of the day.

"Teddy, will you marry me?"

My hand flew up to my mouth trying to mask the squeak that escaped; it must have been a family trait. It didn't really help as my outburst scared two birds from their branch on a nearby tree.

"Is that a yes?" Harry chuckled.

"Oh my gosh! Yes, yes!"

He carefully placed the ring on my finger, before I jumped on top of him, knocking him to the ground.

"I love you!"

My lips placing random kisses all over his face as he laughed. My fingers tangled into his soft curls as I moved down his neck to his collar bones, leaving a hot trail over his skin. He gripped my wrists rolling me under him.

"Let's go home." He whispered in my ear.

I couldn't stop grinning as my body was pulled up from the ground.

 ***

Harry struggled to open our front door. It might have been the fact that it was now dark outside. However, in reality it was probably because my legs were wrapped round his waist. His mouth covered mine as I feverishly kissed back, making it difficult for him to find the lock. He chuckled into my lips, stumbling through the door before shutting it with his foot. He threw the keys into the bowl by the door as I slipped down from his hold. My fingers instantly unzipping his coat as he undid the buttons on mine. I shoved the clothing off his shoulders not bothering to hang it up, my coat joining his on the floor.

I yanked my hat off, tripping over my shoes as I kicked them away. Harry was already in his socks before I gripped the bottom of his jumper, urgently pulling it over his head. His curly hair and wide smile appeared again as I carelessly threw the clothing.

I gasped, turning my head to the objects I knocked off the side onto the floor.

"Shoot.....I'll clean that up later." I gushed.

I fisted Harry's t-shirt in my right hand eagerly pulling him toward me as he laughed.

"Someone's keen." He joked.

"I want you now, Styles."

His eyes darkened at my demand. He helped me in quickly removing my top whilst walking me backwards towards our bedroom. He shoved me into the hallway table that held a small lamp and the phone. The force caused the phone to smash to the floor. I looked from the mess up to Harry's face. His large hands were still on my hips.

"My fault, fix it later." He mumbled against my lips.

His t-shirt was the next thing to go, leaving a trail of our clothing down the hall. I let out a small scream as Harry lifted me up and over his shoulder. I could hear him laugh as he kicked our bedroom door open with his foot.

"Let me down!" I giggled.

He released his hold, letting me gently fall to the bed. Harry paused, his height looming over me, as he stared at me laid on the duvet.

"How did I get so lucky?" He asked quietly.

"Funny, I was just thinking the same thing."

A cheeky smile spread over his face before he placed his hands either side of my head, hovering above me. The kiss was eager. I pushed my hands up to his chest, forcing him over on to his back. I removed myself from the bed, much to Harry's dismay. He propped himself up on his elbows as I stood in front of him. He watched on, amused, as I wriggled out of my jeans, smirking when I caught my foot and stumbled. I recovered, throwing the clothing to the side.

"You're adorable." He spoke.

His green eyes ran up and down my body before I jumped on top of him. He let out a grunt, closing his eyes.

"Sorry."

I placed a kiss on his chest, my hands trailing over his stomach to his belt. He sucked in a breath as my fingers released his jeans. Harry raised his hips allowing me to pull the jeans down his legs. Once removed, I crawled back up to him. Warm fingers ran up my back, and then released the clasp of my bra. Harry's hands touched over my shoulders, pushing the straps down. It joined the rest of our clothing scattered on the floor. His eyes fixed on mine as he rolled me under him. My fingers ran teasingly up and down his torso, feeling over the muscles that tensed in his stomach and chest.

I squeezed my eyes shut, Harry's full lips planting kisses down my neck and over my chest. I gasped as he took a nipple in his mouth, sucking on it gently. My fingers tangled into his curly hair. He massaged the other breast before moving his mouth down over my stomach. Harry didn't break eye contact as he smoothly pulled my underwear down. His face came back up to mine. A deep chuckle vibrated in his chest as I eagerly tried to push his boxers down with my feet, before removing them himself.

I whimpered as I felt him push a long finger into me. He forced his mouth onto mine, slowly pushing in and out. He soon withdrew his finger, satisfied that I was ready. Our bare chests touched as we both drew in shaky breaths. I felt his tip at my entrance before he rolled his hips forward, filling me. I squeezed my eyes closed, hearing his moans above me. A whimper was released from my lips, but was soon muffled by Harry's plump lips on mine. He desperately searched from my hands, then entwined our fingers. He continued to push in and out and I raised my hips to meet his. He groaned at our new angle, pleasure rushing through both of us. I opened my eyes, rolling my head to the side. I smiled when I saw the beautiful ring.

"I love you." Harry gasped.

His eyes travelling to where our hands connected and the new addition to my left hand.

"I love you too."  I replied breathlessly.

Small beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his curls sticking to the skin. Droplets trickled paths down his neck. I leaned up to him, urgently pressing my mouth to his full, pink lips. He fervently kissed back, releasing one of my hands and gripping the back of my knee. He pulled my leg up to his waist, pushing his hips deeper. My head fell back to the pillow as my open mouth let out a moan. I arched my back up to Harry as my lashes fluttered with the new sensation.

"H-harry." I stuttered.

His eyes squeezed closed as I ran my nails down his back. I felt his curls against my cheek as his head dipped, his lips sucking on the clammy skin of my neck. This stopped immediately when I rotated my hips slightly. His hot breath could be felt by my ear as he released throaty moans.

I whimpered when his large hand slid up the inside of my thigh. His thumb pressed to my clit, gently rubbing it. My hand gripped the back of his neck, tangling in his curls. I forced his mouth onto mine in a heated kiss before he withdrew, his lips now by my ear.

"Come for me." He whispered in a raspy voice.

His husky tone sent shivers through my body. Heat started to rise in my stomach, his hand gripped tighter onto mine. My eyes held contact with his as intense pleasure washed over me. I had trouble breathing, the feeling overwhelming me. I finally reached my peak, Harry's name leaving my lips in a gasp. I could feel him tense above me, before his mouth fell open. A number of profanities tumbling out, making me giggle. His eyes were squeezed shut as I leaned up and planted wet kisses down his neck.

"Oh my god." He moaned.

His beautiful green orbs appeared again, staring down at me. I smiled as his lips pressed to my cheek in a lingering kiss before he slowly withdrew. I turned my head to the right to find Harry sprawled out on the sheets beside me, exhausted. His sweaty chest rose up and down quickly, both of us gasping for air.

"That was...."

"Wow." He finished for me.

I pulled the sheets up higher on my chest and I moved to cuddle into Harry. A strong arm went round my back as he pulled me in closer. I lifted my left arm up above the sheets, tilting my hand one way then the other. I watched in awe as the ring sparkled in the dim light. Harry's face lit up in a smile as he observed me.

"It's so beautiful." I whispered.

"So are you."

I turned to look at him, pushing his curls back with my fingers. His dimpled grin made me smile. We laid like that for a little while longer before Harry shuffled away from me. I watched as he picked up his boxers tugging them on. He turned to see me stumble over the sheet I was holding tightly to my chest. I could hear his deep chuckle as he ran a hand through his tousled curls. I playfully bumped his hip as I walked past. He grabbed my arm before I could reach the door, pulling me to him and placing a kiss on my forehead.

I laughed upon seeing the mess in the hall. Our urgency vastly outweighed the need to be careful in anyway. I looked down at the phone that was in pieces on the floor, deciding I would leave that one for Harry to sort out. I picked up our tops before wandering back into our room where Harry was laid back down on the bed again. I picked up my knickers over on the other side of the room. He looked on amused as I skilfully pulled my underwear up my legs and tugged his t shirt over my head, all the while keeping the sheet wrapped round me.

"Come here." He spoke.

I started to walk back over to the bed when I heard a buzzing. My eyes scanned the room landing on Harry's jeans strewn across the floor. I bent down, digging out his phone from the back pocket. He caught it as I threw it over to him.

"It's Louis."

I smiled as I lay back down.

"He wants to know if you said yes." Harry laughed.

He held the phone out in front of us pressing loud speaker. It rang a couple of times before Louis picked up.

"HAZZZ!" Louis practically yelled down the phone.

There was no time to respond before a number of voices all spoke at once, which made me laugh.

"She said yes!" Harry replied, excitedly.

Congratulations were shouted down the phone before Louis' voice sounded again.

"When did you ask her?"

"Umm, about 4 hours ago." Harry smiled down at me.

"And it took you all this time to tell your best mates, we've been waiting all evening for your call."

I giggled at his worried tone.

"Oh, I know what you've been doing." He said suggestively. "You two have been...."

"Alright Lou, speak to you tomorrow." Harry cut him off, knowing exactly where the conversation was going.

"SHAGGING!" Louis yelled quickly.

We heard cheering from the other end of the phone before Harry ended the call, both of us laughing. Harry put the phone on the bedside table before wiggling back down into the covers. I thought back to the events earlier in the day. I frowned before looking up at him.

"Is that why my mum was crying before we left, because she knew you were going to propose?" I questioned.

He paused, smiling, before he answered me.

"I was checking the ring when she walked past your room this morning and she saw me. Then I asked your dad when we were out for our walk."

I smiled, pressing my lips to his. He tugged me on top of him, my long hair tickling his chest.

"I can't believe this is happening." I whispered. "I love you so much."

I laid my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He entwined our fingers with one hand, the other played with the ends of my hair. His gentle touch relaxed me, my eyes began to droop.

"I love you." He spoke quietly into my hair before kissing the top of my head.
