Just Friends

Chapter Thirty Six -- FINALE!

‘Love endlessly, love unconditionally.’

Chapter Thirty Six

• • • • •

The cold of the December afternoon was defeated by the warmth of Harry’s body against mine. With his arms draped around my waist that held me close to his chest. I listened to his soft snores and giggled at the loud ones that goes by at times.

I stared at his beautiful face. Mouth slightly agape, long lashes meets with his cheeks, eyes moving in deep slumber. He’s dreaming.

As I stared at him, I started to think how everything happened. It was so fast. How could I have forgiven him that easily? Must be love, it is love. It’s quite surreal to be with this person right now. Together, in the same bed, with the same feelings, nothing to worry about, just love. It’s amazing how you can forgive someone in an instant because of love.

I realized that if those things didn’t happen to us, we might’ve not been in this state now. I was in woe without Harry. He kept me happy, sane, and most of all, he made me feel what love is. As cheesy as it may sound, it’s true.  He’s my home. I can never feel like myself without Harry.

It’s like he’s a part of me.

My index finger—together with my thumb—traced the pendant of the necklace Harry had given to me for Christmas. I smiled at the memory of how he gave it to me. It was nothing ordinary.

Whilst everyone was exchanging gifts, It was Harry’s turn to give his gifts to everyone. He had passed everyone their gifts except mine.

I waited patiently for mine, but I didn’t get one.

I admit, I was kind of sad to not receive anything from Harry.

But that night, while I was cleaning the living room alone—which I don’t know why I volunteered to do—I was humming this song that was stuck on my head. It was something by John Legend.

Suddenly, I hear someone start singing.

What would I do without your smart

Mouth drawing me in, and you

Kicking me out. Got my head spinning,

No kidding, I can’t pin you down.

 

What’s going on in that beautiful mind,

I’m on your magical mystery ride

And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me,

But I’ll be alright.

 

My head’s under water but I’m breathing fine.

You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind.

Harry snakes his arms around my waist and a smile pulled up on my face.

Cause all of me, loves all of you.

All your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.

Give your all to me, I’ll give my all to you.

You’re my end and my beginning.

Even when I lose I’m winning.

‘Cause I give you all of me.

And you give me all of you.
