Chapter 41 - Taking the next step



Harry's P.O.V



''Uhm what are we doing today, Harry?'' Lucy asked as the four of us jumped in a rented car, ''can't tell you, it's a surprise'' I smirked. Louis was driving and Eleanor sat in the passenger seat, leaving me and Lucy in the back. ''You could at least have told us if we should bring our swimsuits or not'' Eleanor said, ''babe you're at the Bahamas of course you should bring your swimsuit'' Louis let out a laugh. Lucky Lucy and El then that they wore their swimsuits under their dresses. We had been driving for about half an hour when we arrived. I looked for the sign that would tell us if we were at the right place and I found it just as Eleanor did. ''Dolphin cay?'' Eleanor said confused, ''what is that?'' Lucy looked over at me before she realized it. ''Are we..?'' her eyes widened as I nodded. ''Are we gonna swim with the dolphins?'' she yelled of excitement and Eleanor let out a shriek, ''we're swimming with dolphins, girls'' Louis confirmed and gave our girls a wink. ''No I'm gonna cry, I've always wanted to swim with the dolphins'' Eleanor waved a hand in front of her face, not sure if she did it because she was hot or if she really was about to cry. ''Thank you, thank you, thank you'' Lucy yelled and attacked me with a hug making me laugh.

Lucy's P.O.V

It had been an intense few days with swimming with the dolphins, jet skiing and diving. It was December 31, new years, and today the others were coming. It had been amazing just hanging out with Louis and Eleanor and really get to know them, but at the same time I was super excited to see the others again. Especially Tess and Niall. I had really missed them. ''We all don't fit in the car so Lou said he was picking up everyone alone, so that means you and I are tanning today'' Eleanor stuck her head in mine and Harry's room, ''thank god, I'm exhausted with all these activities our boyfriends has come up with'' I said as I put on a sweater over my bikini. It was a bit chilly in our room since Harry insisted on having the AC on even if we weren't in there. Speaking of Harry, wonder where he has been the last hour. ''So have you seen Harry?'' I asked as we walked out of the house headed for the beach, ''No, I have been sleeping since breakfast. I was so tired'' she shrugged. We laid down on our towels in the sand and Eleanor started talking about our plans for tonight. We had decided that since everyone was going to be here we could just stay at the house and celebrate. ''Oh actually, that's what I think Harry's doing. Getting the alcohol'' El stated, ''great''. We were silent for a while and just enjoyed the sun.
''Do you and Louis ever think about taking the next step?'' i looked over at her
''Which step do you mean? Engagement?'' she let out a laugh as I shook my head.
''No like, moving in. You guys have been together for a while now''
''I know, our thing has always been that I wanted to finish school. And now I've been finished, for six months so yeah. I don't really know at this point''
I nodded at her answer, ''why are you asking? Are you thinking about moving in with Harry?''
''I don't know, he asked me a couple months ago and I almost snapped at him saying I needed to do me first. But now...''
she gave me a smile
''It's okay to change your mind, you know''.
I put on my sunglasses, ''everything feels so different after this trip, I don't know what changed but...I can't picture myself going home from this trip and not have him around 24/7''
''So what's stopping you from moving in together?''
''Nothing really, I guess I'm just...''
''Scared?''
''Yeah..what if we're moving too fast in our relationship?''
''You guys have practically been together for one and a half years, you're not moving too fast''
''Hm practically...yeah''
''Come on Lucy, you love him right?''
''Of course I do, with all my heart''
''Then go for it''

I realized that I had fallen asleep in the sun when I heard a car pull up on the driveway. They're here. Soon I heard familiar voices and stood up to go greet them. A blonde little Irish boy met my eyes and a huge smile formed his face. ''Niall'' I yelled and started running just to crash in his arms as he lifted me up, ''hi babe, I've missed ya'' he said and gave me a bone crushing hug. ''Shit I've missed you too, Leprechaun'' ''uhm hello? What about me? Your best girl friend?'' Tess said and I let go of Niall to hug her. ''I have missed you too, Tess'' ''of course you have, and oh you're so tan'' I laughed at her being envy of my little tan.

After a rather steamy shower session with my hot boyfriend I was almost done for tonight's celebrations and everything felt right. 5/5 of One Direction plus girlfriends slash fiances where present and tonight was the night. Tonight I'm telling Harry I want to move in with him when we get home. I jumped in a loose white dress and applied some neutral makeup to my face. My hair was naturally wavy so I decided to just let it hang free. ''Are you done, love?'' Harry kissed my cheek and I have him a nod before walking towards the door. ''Hey'' I turned around with a confused look, ''you look beautiful'' he smiled.

It was almost 11.30 pm and we were all drinking and..yeah mostly drinking. Louis, Liam and Harry were pissed drunk, Zayn and Perrie had been glued together all night just as Niall and Tess. As for Eleanor, Sophia and I we had just been drinking pretty responsible and just talking about life. ''I'm telling him tonight'' I told the girls and sipped on my drink, ''telling who what?'' Sophia asked after Eleanor had let out a shriek. ''I'm telling Harry that I want to move in with him'' I felt myself start to blush, ''awww'' Sophia gushed. ''I just feel like it's the right time now. I know what I want to do with my life, I'm starting school again and I just feel like I'm in a good place'' I shrugged, like it wasn't a big deal. All though it was probably one of the biggest decisions of my life. On the other hand I have never been more sure of a decision either. ''I just hope he's sober enough to remember it'' I laughed and looked over at Harry, he was play fighting with Louis. Little dorks. They were running around tackling each other as usual and I couldn't help but smile looking at them. Harry never had this kind of bond with the guys back home in Holmes Chapel. These boys had each others backs no matter what. One Direction had really done Harry good. A loud bang made me jump and I was awaken from my thoughts. I looked back over at Louis and Harry, who was now laying on the ground. ''Shit, Harry?'' Louis sounded worried and I couldn't figure out what had happened. He is playing us right? Why is Harry laying still on the floor? With my heart almost in my throat I rushed over and crouched down to the floor beside him. ''Harry? Louis what happened?'' I said feeling the panic rush trough my body. ''I...he...I think he hit his head'' somebody turned off the music and now everybody was standing in a circle around the three of us. I gently shook him trying to wake him up, ''Harry?'' tears started to build up in my eyes, why isn't he waking up? ''I'm calling an ambulance'' someone said and with those words my tears started to flow. ''No, wait he's waking up'' Louis said and I looked at Harry and let out a loud sniffle. I looked in to a pair of beautiful confused eyes, ''uh why are you all staring at me?'' he sat up ''be careful mate, I think you hit your head. You passed out'' Louis signed that Harry should lay down again. ''No, I'm fine. Why are you crying?'' he asked me and stroke away a few tears ''I got scared'' I told him and noticed my voice was as small as a little mouse. ''Are you sure you're okay, Haz?'' Zayn said and crouched down beside me, ''yes, promise. We should get outside so we don't miss the fireworks'' he smiled and stood up.

Harry was standing with his arm around me on the beach and we were surrounded by all of our friends. I was still a bit shaken up about him passing out but he reassured me he was fine. ''This is perfect'' Harry sighed ''what is?'' ''being here. With you. And all of our friends. Some would say I'm lucky, but I'd say I'm just blessed'' the countdown had started and it brought me back to last year this exact time. As Harry said, I feel truly blessed standing here a year later, still in his arms. Still him and I. Harry and Lucy. ''I want to move in with you, Harry'' I saw his eyes light up with joy for a moment just before the clock striked twelve and he pressed his lips against mine. And just like that time stopped. The only thing I heard were the fireworks, but the only thing that was on my mind was him. His lips. Lips so good I forget my name.

Notes
