''You are beautiful, Bella...'' I said taking her by the waist and kissing her cheek as we layed on the bed. ''And I swear I am not lying. I...I love you.'' It was true, I would never lie to her. I loved her. The true love kind of love.

She was quiet but I heard three soft words. ''I love you too.''

Those words made me feel...I don't know. Just...I don't know how to explain actually. I had never loved before. Never loved a person that wasn't from my family. It feels like you are needed and wanted. Loved. There is no concrete explanation, you just feel loved. And it is an amazing feeling. Her saying those three words, I love you, made me feel special.

Bella let out some other words a few seconds later: ''I am not a virgin any more Harry. I am not a virgin since yesterday.'' She turned around and faced me. I could see in her blue slash green eyes that she wasn't lying. I knew she wouldn't lie to me. I have no idea of why I thought that I had messed up her life forever but those thoughts disappeared when she said: ''And thank you. I had always thought that I would never be loved or feel loved. And I do. Now, I do. It may sound...cliché but I feel loved and I know that I am loved. Thank you.'' That's when her tears started coming out. ''I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry.'' She said while I started to clean them with my thumb. She wiped them with her hand too.

''It's okay, my love. It's okay. You are loved. You are. I love you and that will never change. Always remember that..okay?'' That's when I felt something cold on my neck. My necklaces. I had always carried the necklaces my Mother gave me. Yes, they were two. It was a coing split in two. They complemented each other. I took one off. ''Please, turn around.'' She did as I asked and put it on her neck. It looked nice on her. She had a piece of me. It belonged to my great great great grandfather. My Mother told me the story.

*Flashback*

I was playing on the patio with my golden retriever, Hunter when I heard Mother call me.

''Harry, sweet Harry. Where are you, dear?''

To which I responded, following her voice. ''On the patio, Mother.'' I walked towards her when I saw her. I noticed she carried a box in her hands. ''How are you, Mother?''

''Just fine now, my love. I needed to talk to you, actually. You are not in trouble, so do not worry. I wanted to give you a little something, but I would like to tell you the story of this present I am giving you. Would you like to hear it?''

''Yes Mother, I would.'' I said.

''Splendid. Follow me, love.'' I did as she told me and we were now in a place full of books and scrolls. The library, I thought. She sat down and I sat down on the floor, just because I liked how the cold of the floor would cool me off. Those summer days were incredibly hot. ''This box contains two necklaces, my darling.'' She opened the little box that had both of them. Each necklace had a pendant. ''As you can see, Harry, these necklaces have unsual pendants. Can you tell me what they are?''

I took a glimpse at the pendants and had a confused look. I knew what they were but it was strange to have a coin split in two and send them to the jewelry man that worked in the castle to make them pendants. ''They are half coins, Mother. It is one coin split in two.''

''Yes, dear. It is a coin split in two. But it is not just a coin. This was your great great great granmotherfather's coin. His father gave him a split coin but as I told you before, it is not just a coin. This coin belonged to the fountain of love, in Italy. He picked one out and it happened to be the coin of a lovely woman, wishing for true love. When he picked it up, a woman looked at him and told him to put her coin back in the fountain. She didn't know he was the prince of another country. He understood immediately that the coin he was holding in his left hand was hers. So he took her hand and made her follow her to the fountain. The lady noticed how handsome the prince was yet she was angry because he had taken the coin marked with a heart on the back. He said that he would put it back if she agreed to meet again. Somewhere in private. She gazed into your grandfather's eyes and agreed. She knew he meant no harm. So he put the coin back in the fountain and told her to meet him in the forest. What your grandfather didn't know was that the lady took the coin with her. She broke it in half and put it in her jewel box. They started dating and knowing each other. The years passed and he asked her to marry him. By now, you should know that they wed and she became princess of his country. Now, you must be confuse because you may be thinking that if the lady threw the coin, it belonged to her. No, she had found the coin on the ground a few days ago and it had a weird mark. A heart, as I told you before. But back to the story, when they wed, she gave him half the coin. They wore those until the time had expired and they died. Of course, they were passed along and that is how they are in this little box now. I never wore it and your father never wore it but it is time for you to carry both of them and take care of them too. When you find the right woman, you shall give one of the necklaces and tell her you love her.'' She put both necklaces on me. ''Do you like them?''

''Yes Mother, they are lovely. Thank you.'' I hugged her and looked at my new necklaces with difficulty. ''But what if I never find a woman that I will love?''

''Trust me, my son. You will find her. Now, go play with Elvis. He must be waiting for you out in the patio. Good choice of dog my love.''

*End of flashback*

''My mother told me to give this to the woman I love. I finally found her. I love you Isabella. I know we will be together even if I have to give up my throne. Thank you for finally appearing in my life. I have tried to find the woman of my life since I was fifteen years old. I know it must be soon but...would you be my girlfriend? You wouldn't have to live with your stepmother and your stepsister. You would live with me. In the castle. Mother thinks you are lovely and she likes you. My uncle will leave the castle in no time. So.. what do you say?''

''Harry...I...'' She looked at the half coin. ''Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend. Thank you, Harry.''

I leaned in and kissed her. ''Well, my love, go take a shower while I cook some breakfast.'' I started to help her get her dress on so she wouldn't be uncomfortable walking around naked. I too, put some clothes on and took one of Gemma's dresses for her to wear. I headed downstairs and started making breakfast.
