*LIZZIE’S POV*

Waking up the next morning was literally like a moment of pure perfection. I was slowly and gently woken up by the sunlight streaming in through the curtains. I had Harry’s arms wrapped around me, and everything was just so quiet and peaceful. I stayed like this, fully awake, for a few minutes just thinking before I decided to wake up Harry. I turned slowly in his arms and began to plant gentle kisses all over his face. He woke up smiling.

“Good morning, love” he said softly. His morning voice, though I’ve heard it several times by now, was the most attractive thing I had so far encountered in my life.

“I was thinking about making us some breakfast, and then maybe we could actually go to the beach today?” I half whispered to him. It was so peaceful right now that I felt almost like I was disturbing it just by talking. I sat up, but he pulled me back down on top of him and held me against his bare chest.

“hmmmm just five more minutes…” he said as he closed his eyes again. I was happy to oblige.

*HARRY’S POV*

By the time I had fully woken up, Liz was already in the kitchen. I got out of bed, threw on a shirt, and made my way down there. She had a full spread on the table of scrambled eggs, toast, and multiple cut up fruits.

“You’re amazing, you know that?” I said as I hugged her from behind.

“This house is amazing! It was already stocked with food when I got in here! Oh and you’re not too bad yourself either, Styles. ” She joked as she turned and kissed my cheek. “C’mon let’s sit and eat. I really want to get outside as early as possible.” She pulled out of my arms and brought two glasses of water to the table. We both ate quickly as we discussed my upcoming tour and other things like that. I volunteered to clean up since she cooked, while she went and got her bathing suit on.

I was finishing putting the fruit away when she came back down in that white bathing suit from the day before. She looked breathtaking. Sometimes I still had to pinch myself to remind me that she’s actually mine- as cheesy as it sounds. She really looked fit though… especially how her hair’s all messy today, and the bathing suit really makes her butt look fantastic…. I got lost in some private thoughts before her laugh interrupted me.

“Well, Harry, are you just going to keep standing there or are you going to get dressed so we can go?” She said impatiently.

“Oh, right, sorry!” I laughed as I hurried past her to get changed. I was back before you could count to five, but much to my dismay she had put on a bathing suit cover-up.

*LIZZIE’S POV*

Harry and I decided that instead of going to the beach first, we were going to walk around the island for a while to explore and hopefully make it to the beach for the sunset. This day could not be going more perfectly- we had not seen one pap, and only a handful of girls stopped us to take a picture with Harry (which I really did not mind). We stopped and got lunch in some little restaurant along a coastline and continued to “explore”- which was really just us walking really slowly hand-in-hand along some trails and sneaking kisses when we were sure no one could see. I had no cell phone reception here, so we both left our phones at the house, and it was really nice not to have my phone continually buzzing with questions about Harry from annoying girls at my school.

After we had walked for a while and got significantly lost, Harry and I came across a group of teenagers who we assumed to be islanders. They were standing along a rocky ledge that dropped down to the ocean. Harry and I stood back for a moment, until one of the boys jumped off the edge. It scared me at first, but it intrigued me. I pulled Harry closer towards them.

“Hey!” I called out.

“Liz, what are you doing..” Harry said quietly in my ear. I ignored him. The rest of the group turned towards us. I quickly scanned their faces, and almost made it through the whole group except one girl’s face lit up with recognition.

“Harry Styles!” She exclaimed. “Oh, sorry, I mean hi,” she quickly said after- obviously embarrassed at her outburst.

“Hey,” Harry said as he waved. “What are you guys doing?”

“We’re cliff diving,” one of the bigger guys answered. “Wanna try?” He asked us as he waved his arm out to the edge.

“Yes!” I exclaimed excitedly.

“No!” Harry said at the same time. We turned to face each other. The group laughed at us. This time a different girl spoke.

“It’s completely safe, if you just jump the right way. We do it all the time. Watch.” She bravely backed up a few steps before she ran and threw herself off the edge in a dive. The few remaining teenagers watched our faces to see our reactions. I turned to Harry and held on to his upper arm.

“Please, Harry, this looks so fun!” I whined as I made a puppy dog face. “When are you going to be able to do this again? This is like once in a life time stuff!” His expression was still really serious.

“Liz, what if something were to happen to you…” He began, but I cut him off.

“That’s why I need you to jump with me! Nothing bad happens when I'm with you,” I turned to the group. “Can two people jump at the same time?” I asked them.

“Of course!” they replied.

“Oh, I’m Lizzie by the way. Y’all can call me Liz.” I said awkwardly, realizing now that I had never introduced myself. The remaining three people waved.

“I’m Tim,” said a very tan boy on the left with blond hair. The short girl in the middle of the two boys was next to speak.

“I’m Bliss.” She said as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail. She was the one who recognized Harry.

“And I’m Freddy,” said the last boy. He was somewhat muscular with a shaved head. “So are you two going to jump?”

I turned to face Harry, who had his eyes closed for some reason. After a moment, he opened them and faced me.

“All right.” He said with a smile. “Let’s do it.”

After listening very carefully to all the pointers given by the three, and watching Bliss and Freddy jump before us, it was finally our turn. Tim decided he would jump after us just to make sure everything goes smoothly.

I held on to Harry’s hand tightly, this was such an adrenaline rush. It was amazing. Tim started to count down from ten, and Harry and I backed up- ready to run and jump.

“Ten…”

“Nine…”

“Eight…”

“Seven…”

“Six…”

“Five..”

“Liz?” Harry asked quietly.

“Four…”

“What?” I replied- hoping he wasn’t backing out.

“Three…”

“Two…”

“I love you.” Harry said as he squeezed my hand.

“One!”

Before I knew it we were free-falling fifty feet down into the perfect blue water.

*HARRY’S POV*

As we hit the water it shocked me. I pushed to the surface and gasped for air- happy to see that Liz found the surface at the same time as me. I turned to her and smiled. Still treading water, she swam close to me, wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me with more passion than she ever had before. I got completely lost in the kiss, until the cheers and whistles from the rest of the group and my lack of breath caused us to pull away from each other.

“I love you too, Harry.” She said breathily. Those were the five best words I had ever heard in my entire life.

I thought I was going to regret jumping off of that cliff, but in this moment, I had no regrets whatsoever about anything having to do with this girl. In this moment it was clear to me- I was hers, for now and for forever.

Notes

Okay so here goes...
I keep promising y'all chapters and then I feel really bad when I don't follow through with my promises.
That's why this will be the last chapter that I post until February 18th. I know that there's no way I'll be able to post in the upcoming week and a half, so I just decided to let y'all know.
I do plan on finishing this story- and I'm highly considering making a sequel, so don't think that I'm done with Harry and Lizzie. I love you all and thank you for reading to this point!
Sorry
