Forever

Could This Day Get Any Worse

I eventually decided to move in with Nathan. We redecorate to whole house and rearranged the bedrooms.

"Harper, what time is it?" Asks Nathan.

"2 why?" I say as I tap on my phone.

"We're gonna be so late." Says Nathan as he runs to the bathroom and starts to do his hair. I follow him, not knowing what we are going to be late for.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"We are having a late lunch with my parents remember?" Says Nathan as he puts on some shoes. I sort my hair and make up out before putting a jacket and shoes on.

We get into Nathan's car and drive to pizza express. We arrive and see a very annoyed mum and dad sitting at the table.

"I'm so sorry we're late. It was completely my fault." I say as we sit down.

Nathan tries to say something, but I slightly kick him under the table. We order drinks and food and then start a conversation.

"So. Are there children planned for the future? I would like to have some grand children one day Nathan." Says Nathan's mother.

"Mum!" Says Nathan whilst glaring at his mum.

"No it's ok. Me and Nathan are still taking it slow. I think that neither of us are ready for children yet and I'd prefer to be married before I have children." I say as I smile.

"Are you planning on getting married soon?" Asks Nathan's dad.

"Dad!" Says Nathan, again glaring.

"Nathan. We live each other, but at the moment, marriage is a big step." I say.

We continue our conversation before going home after finishing eating. Nathan doesn't look happy with me, but what have I done wrong?

"Why did you take the blame for us being late?" Asks Nathan as he chucks his car keys on the kitchen side.

"I didn't want you to get moaned at. I know how you get if your parents pester you." I say as I sit on the sofa.

"You know how we have been together for nearly 3 months now. Maybe we should start that conversation about marriage again. It's a big step. I know. And I am absolutely terrified of getting cold feet. I want to see you as he mother of my children one day. You would be the most perfect mum ever and your own mum would be proud. You sounded so confident about the marriage and children conversation earlier and it made me realise I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Says Nathan.

"Nathan..." I say, but he doesn't hear me.

"And I want to always be there for you. No matter what happens. I will alwaus stick by your side. I choose you every day and I always will. I want you to be happy and I want to support your every decision. If you were to marry me tomorrow, I would do everything in my power to make it magical. Because even if the star's and moon collide, I will always want you in my life. Baby steps. I can see that." Says Nathan.

"Nathan..." Can be by hear me?

"When we bumped into each other in Starbucks, I knew that I needed to end things with what you called a French tart. I missed you like crazy when you left for London and believe it or not, but I cried when you left. I wanted to come after you, but I didn't know what words to use." Says Nathan.

"Nathan!" I say for the third time. This time he hears me and looks up.

"Sorry. Rambling on like that." Says Nathan as he looks away.

"Nathan Montgomery. Look at me." I say. Nathan looks at me.

"What?" Says Nathan.

"What you just said then made my heart melt. You are every guy a girl could dream for. Your personality. Your attitude. Your compassion. Your smile. Your voice. Even your looks. I knew that I would live you one day and I couldn't imagine life without you. Yes. This is my turn to ramble on and I don't give a care in the world if this sounds cringe. You make me smile every day. You tell me I'm beautiful. You make me feel good about myself when others put me down. When I need you, you always pick up the phone. You are always there when I call for you. Because, I know you love me, I know you care. I shout whenever, and you are there." I say.

"Harper." Says Nathan. I hear him, but I continue to talk.

"Nathan. I know that you want me to be the moths of our children now, but if we went ahead with it at this meant in time, I'm scared it will ruin things between us. If something or someone tore us apart, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. You need to know that I love ku unconditionally and when I say that, I mean it." I say.

"Harper." Says Nathan.

"I want to grow old with you. Be able for our future kids to do things with you that I never got to do with my dad. When he walked out on me and my mum, my mum was left heartbroken. But I know you won't do that. I will always love you. So. Nathan Montgomery, if you are trying to find the words to ask me to marry you, don't. Because I am already going to say yes." I say as I let the tears flow down my cheeks.
