Skye

“Louis going to be ready to pounce.” Harry said softly as I picked up my bag and followed Harry towards the door. We hadn’t seen anyone since Harry proposed. Instead we had stayed inside all day and snuck out in the afternoon to see the Eiffel Tower and have dinner together. We enjoyed the day as just us before seeing the others.

“Yeah I know. May as well get this over with. It’s going to be happening a lot anyway.” I reasoned with Harry. He smiled and placed a kiss against my lips softly before grabbing my bag from me. I was about to protest before the light caught the diamond resting on my finger and I was instantly distracted.

Harry’s laugh broke my trance with the ring.

“Is that always going to distract you?” He asked me fondly. I shrugged at him.

“It’s just so big, it’s hard not to get distracted. You know you shouldn’t have gotten something so big.” I scolded him jokingly. He smiled and winked at me before pressing his lips to mine again. I headed towards the door as Harry picked up his bag to accompany mine before heading out the door I had opened.

I watched amused as Harry dropped our bags before getting tackled to the floor. A smile slid across my face as Louis straddled my fiancé on the floor of the hotel corridor.

“Finally!” Louis yelled at Harry who looked up at him grumpily.

“Woah that thing is massive!” I turned to see Eleanor standing next to me staring down at the ring.

“I know.” I squeaked out. Her eyes met mine and a large grin swept over both of our faces before she wrapped me in her arms.

“I’m so happy for you!” She squealed into my ear loudly making me laugh. She let go so I could instantly be swept into Dani’s arms.

“I can’t wait for your wedding! We’re going to have so much fun!” I laughed at Dani before Liam pulled my attention and wrapped me up in his arms.

“I knew you would say yes.” He said into my ear. I laughed softly back into his and hugged him tightly.

“Of course, it’s Harry.” I told him simply. He laughed and pressed a kiss to my cheek.

“Congratulations.” Lacey greeted me next. I smiled at her and accepted her hug.

“Thanks sweetie.” I said, rubbing her back softly. I didn’t know how she would take the news since she was the most vulnerable. I was in a happy engagement, she wasn’t. I glanced at Zayn behind her who winked at me. At least she had him, for now.

I stepped out of Lacey’s hug and into Zayn’s arms.

“Knew you too would be together for forever. From the moment he told me he liked you.” Zayn told me. I blushed lightly as he pressed a kiss to my cheek.

“God that thing is massive!” Tate said pulling me out of Zayn’s arms. I continued to laugh as I swept from Tate’s arms and into Niall’s.

“You both deserve this.” Niall told me pressing a kiss to my hair. I smiled at him in thanks.

“My turn for you!” Louis said appearing in front of me. I widened my eyes in fear as he wrapped his arms tightly around me and spun me around the small hallway. I squealed in half delight and half fright.

“You two are going to be amazing for each other.” Louis said to me the moment he set my feet down. “No one should be together more than the both of you.”

“Like fuel to the fire right?” I asked him, talking about the conversation we had together, in what seemed like a century ago. So much had happened since Harry and I had separated before getting back together. Louis eyes lit up, happy that I had remembered what he said.

“Right, absolutely dangerous and scary but definitely worth it all just to see the amazing beauty of it.” I felt my heart beat happily at his words as I reached up to press a kiss to his cheek.

“Thanks Lou.”

“What are you two whispering about?” Harry asked coming up beside us and pulling me into his arms.

“No trust Harry? Bad way to start an engagement.” Louis teased as Harry swatted him away.

“Wasn’t too bad now was it?” Harry asked me referring to everyone’s reactions. I shrugged at him.

“Just a lot of hugs and squealing.” I told him. He nodded in agreement and wrapped his arm around my waist and tugged me towards the bags. I picked up my own, much to Harry’s protest. He calmed down as I explained that it was so we could hold hands.

We headed to the elevator and down to the lobby. I quickly pulled the ring from my finger and slipped it into my pants pocket. Harry looked at me confused and slightly hurt.

“I want to tell your parents and Paige and Casey before the rest of the world tells them.” I let him know. He sighed but nodded in acceptance before leading the way out of the elevator. We headed out towards the cars that were surrounded of course by thousands of screaming girls.

Lacey was pushed next to me by Zayn as Harry stayed in front and Zayn stayed behind Lacey and I to better protect us from the screaming girls held back by security. Harry quickly climbed into the car and pulled me in behind him as Lacey and Zayn joined us. The others got in the other car.

“Wait until my mum finds out.” Harry suddenly groaned into the car. It was silent for a moment before everyone burst out laughing, picturing Anne’s reaction.

“We’re going to be smothered babe.” I joked to Harry pressing a quick kiss to his lips. He smiled down at me and stuck his hand in my pocket before pulling the ring out and slipping it on my finger.

“No one can see it in here. As soon as we tell everyone important, that ring stays on your finger for forever.”

“Yes fiancé.”

“So have you decided to have it inside or out? What about your bridesmaids? I mean what are they going to wear? Are you going to match it to the colour of the wedding? How many bridesmaids are you having anyway?”

“Gem!” I said loudly interrupting her rambling. “Harry proposed to me two days ago. We’ve only just told you, I haven’t even thought of that stuff yet.”

“Sorry,” she laughed sheepishly. “It’s just so damn exciting.

“I cannot believe my baby is getting married.” Anne smiled through her tears before pinching Harry’s cheeks and pulling him into about the 34th hug since we told her five minutes ago.

“Mum,” Harry whined, pushing her back.

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you were thinking of proposing though!” Gemma said suddenly growing annoyed. Harry shrugged at her.

“I didn’t really know when I was going to do it. Might have been another year away for all I knew. But while we were there I just knew it was time.” This sent Anne into another fit of tears. Taking pity on her, I wrapped an arm around her waist and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

They were taking it better than Casey and Paige who I had told over Skype last night. I’m almost positive they would have woken the whole street up with their screams.

“Oh god, give me another look at it.” Anne said pulling my hand up so she could get a better look at the ring.

“I’ll admit son. That’s a nice ring.” Harry’s Dad, Des, said patting his son’s shoulder comfortingly. Robin nodded in agreement. Harry just smiled smugly.

“Okay here are the drinks.” Toby announced walking in with a tray full of champagne glasses. I didn’t think it was possible for me to smile any wider.

“To Skye and Harry and the amazing life that’s ahead of them.” We all cheered to Des’s toast and took a drink. Harry then proceeded to pull me into a quick kiss causing his family to break out in cheers.

We stayed the night at Harry’s before finally driving the couple of hours home.

“Stop for lunch?” Harry asked me as we drove through the London streets. I eyed him for a moment.

“You just want to show off the ring now that everyone knows don’t you?” I accused him. He laughed and pulled into a park near one of our favourite cafe’s.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Now if you just walk with your hand facing this way, so the sun can catch it at its best angle.” Harry said moving my hand as we walked towards the cafe. I nudged him with my hip making him laugh and press a kiss to my lips before letting my hand fall back to its previous position in his hand.

We ordered our food and Harry handed me his card as he quickly answered his phone. Rolling my eyes, I pulled out my own money and paid for it. The girl at the counter gasped suddenly as her eyes settled on the ring. Blushing like mad I quickly grabbed the food and found a table. Honestly, Harry couldn’t make our engagement any more public with the massive ring adorning my finger. It was beautiful and I was grateful but it was also very large and in your face type of ring.

“The girl at the counter noticed the ring.” I told Harry as he sat down across from me and grabbed his food. He grinned largely at me and looked over to see her watching us intently.

“I want people to know we’re engaged. You’re mine now, no one else’s.” Harry told me evenly. I rolled my eyes at him and dug into my food ignoring his possessiveness.

“I swear if people knew the real Harry Styles.” I mumbled before taking a drink. Harry glanced up at me and smirked.

“They would love me more.”

“If that’s what you want to believe.” I shrugged, joking with him. He snorted and nudged my foot under the table, which then lead to an all out footsie war.

“Great.” I muttered suddenly as I noted the amount of people starting to gravitate around the cafe, with cameras. The paparazzi, obviously people had noticed.

“Time to go.” Harry announced, finishing of his food and grabbing my hand ready to pull me through the crowd of people growing.

I flipped my shades over my eyes and followed behind Harry closely. Flashes appeared instantly and words were yelled at us. Like usual I barely understoodd the mix of words but I could tell everyone noticed the ring by the excitement suddenly rippling through the crowd. Each person wanted to be the one with the best photo of the ring or the first quote from us.

Harry had us in the car before the crowd got too large.

“I swear if you’re happy about that I might just hit you.” I warned Harry who kept a calm face on the rest of the way home. I could tell however that his smirk was just moments from surfacing. I couldn’t help the smile that filled my face. At this point everything felt amazing, like I was floating high above everything. Even the bad stuff.
