A couple sat in each other's arms on the lounge in a comfortable silence. Harry played with Amélie's hair as she entwined her fingers with his.
"I want to sing something to you, Amie," Harry announced as he stood up. He walked to the bedroom and picked up a small box, taking one last glance at it before placing it carefully in his pocket. He picked up the guitar by the door and, with a deep breath to calm his heavy breathing, walked back to the lounge room. Amélie smiled up at Harry. She started to stand up to give Harry some room, but he told her to sit back down.
"I want to do this properly," he added. He seated himself on the coffee table opposite the lounge, facing Amélie. Harry unsuccessfully tried to slow his racing heart. He adjusted the guitar on his lap and looked into Amélie's eyes. He began to play. And sing,
Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Harry looked up at Amélie, who had not yet recognised the song.
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Harry watched as Amélie silently brought her hand to her mouth in shock.
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry me
Today and every day
He watched again as Amélie's eyes started to fill with tears.
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this café
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
Harry grinned as he sung, seeing Amélie smile through the tears.
You wear white and I'll wear out the words 'I love you'
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Amélie gave a small nod, and watched Harry's smile grow.
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this café
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
She nodded again, smiling
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
The two smiled at each other.
And marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this café
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Marry me
Harry placed the guitar on the table. Looking at Amélie, he took the box from his pocket. He held it tighter as he noticed his hands shake slightly. Keeping his eyes on Amélie, Harry moved from the table to the floor, kneeling on one knee. Her beautiful smile gave him the courage to speak.
"Amie, when I first met you in that café, I could tell you were the type of girl I would want to marry. But you're not the type of girl, Amie; you're the girl I want to marry." Amélie's eyes twinkled with happiness. Harry took a deep breath. He opened the box. Amélie gasped at the ring's beauty, but didn't allow herself to be distracted by it. She looked back at Harry.
"Amélie Olivia Dorchant, will you marry me?" Amélie's smile grew even bigger, and she answered,
"Yes, oh my gosh, yes!" Harry grinned at her answer. He took the ring out of its box, placed the box on the table, and gently put the ring on Amélie's ring finger. She looked excitedly at the beautiful ring, before looking at the even more beautiful man sitting in front of her. The two spent one more moment looking at each other elatedly, before their lips crashed together. Each thought they were the luckiest person in the world.
"I was going to ask you before, Harry," Amélie started, "but when did you start playing the guitar?"
"Niall started teaching me, a little while ago. I told him I wanted to be able to play something for you, so he taught me. He only ever charged me food, so it was a good deal." The couple laughed.
"So did he know you were going to propose to me?" she asked Harry.
"Yeah, although I didn't tell him at first, but once I had the essentials out of the way, I kinda had to tell him what I wanted to play for you. I didn't want too many people to know, so I only told my mates a week ago. And, of course, my family and yours." Amélie smiled at him. She was… she was amazed, touched, impressed… She didn't know how to tell him what she felt. SO she told him one thing that she was absolutely certain about. Something that she knew for sure:
"I love you, Harry Edward Styles." He smiled down at her.
"I love you, too, Amélie Olivia Dorchant."
