[FLASHBACK:

I turned back around to look at the bed, that had a big placard, with the words:

BE MY GIRLFRIEND?]

__________________________________________________

To say I was shocked is an understatement. I stood there for what felt like days, jaw dropped, eyes wide as a saucepan. Sudden movement and a raspy voice behind me brought me back to reality. 

"Well?" Harry sounded anxious? "Do you think maybe-you know-you could-" He paused to take a deep breathe. "DoyouthinkyoucouldcomewithmetotheGrammy'sasmygirlfriend?" He said in a single breathe. 

"Woh, Haz calm down. And stop panicking," I replied, as if I was not internally panicking myself either. 

I put my hands on his shoulder and forced him to sit down on the couch that sat comfortably on the wall opposite to the king-size bed. I stepped back, and took a second to let everything sink in.

I was in LA with my Celebrity crush, who I am in love with, who I have been talking to for some time now, who happened to ask me to go to the Grammy's with him as his date, and now has asked me to be his girlfriend. 

I breathed out and knew what my answer would be.

But, before I could even say anything to him, he stood up and started rambling.

"Look, Kaps, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked this. I mean, we have been talking for some time now and I knew I like you even before I set foot in the JFK airport yesterday. But yesterday, everything was so-perfect. And the kiss! God, I would give anything to hold you like that again and kiss you and show you how much I love you. And I-" he stopped midsentence when he realized what he had just said. 

He loves me! HARRY STYLES LOVES ME! 

"Yo-you what?" I whispered, despite the internal screaming.

He sighed. "Yes, I love you. I love you so much, Kaps. I never thought that it would be so easy for me to fall in love with someone. The little time we have spent together has made me realize how much I care about you and love you. You don't have to say anything back, you can say 'no' to being my girlfriend too. Hell, if you don't want to go to the Grammy's with me, I won't force you, cuz I definitely made it awkward for you. I'm so sor-" I cut him off with a kiss.

Bold, I know. 

He tensed up at first, stunned by the sudden movement, but soon his right hand found their way into my hair, holding my face and his left hand went around my waist, pulling me closer to him. It was urgent, not as simple as the ones we shared yesterday, but still was sweet and conveyed a lot of unsaid emotions. It held the love he held for me and I held for him. It showed how much we both cared for each other. Eyes still closed, our lips parted, but we rested our foreheads together. We were both panting a little, still trying to catch our breathes after the other had taken it away. And this time, before he could even open his mouth, I broke the comfortable silence.

"No, Harry, lemme speak now. You have talked a lot. I am really glad that you brought me here as your date. And to be honest, I knew I liked you too before you showed up at my door yesterday as well, and I know, yesterday was perfect," I was now holding his face with both hands, our eye contact not breaking. "So perfect, that I realized that I was slowly falling for my celebrity crush. And this placard scenario, gosh Haz, I'm so overwhelmed that I couldn't form words to say. Of course I'll be your girlfriend, you bubbleheaded cutie," I said with a chuckle and ruffled his messy hair, still in Harry's arms. This lit up his features.

"Yo-you will?" I nodded. "Oh thank God!" He said and leaned for another kiss.

Cutting the kiss short, I pushed him away with a laugh, "Ok, enough of that. I need to take a shower and get changed." 

"Ok. I'll order us some dinner. How does good ol' pepperoni pizza sound?" "Sounds delicious," I replied, already unzipping my trolley that I now noticed was placed on a small bench near the closet.

I quickly rummaged through my trolley and pulled out the cute 'ONE DIRECTION' pajamas that I  had brought with me. Subtle? No? Ya, I know.

I went into the bathroom with the clothes and my pouch of toiletries and placed them on the rack and slab respectively, when something struck me as I was looking into the mirror. I smirked and peeped my head out of the bathroom.

"And Haz, just for the record, I love you too," I said and quickly shut the door, leaning behind the door with a huge smile on my face. 

What I didn't see was Harry doing a high jump, fistbumping the air and falling back on the bed with an even huger smile, hands and legs spread out.
