Harry and I were walking around the park at night. We were in New York because of his MSG concert tomorrow night. We managed to escape our security team and slipped out the hotel by ourselves. We knew they would start looking for us soon because of the dinner reservations but we chose to deal with it later.
Harry and I have been dating for 4 months. It has been steady and comfortable. I had met him at Liams birthday party and we talked for hours that night. He gave me advice on my past abusive relationship and how to find help. He was so kind so I left his phone number in my phone and called him up when I finally left that relationship.
Getting into a relationship with Harry was hard enough. It took him three months to get me to say yes to be his girlfriend but I'm glad he never gave up and was so patient for the day I said yes. My modeling agency found out about my past relationship and my new one and they told me to take two weeks off and I spent those two weeks with Harry in Mexico. We got to know each other as a couple and he got to write some music after I returned to LA.
Now it was 3 months later and we planned to meet up in New York for fashion week and his concert. And here we were, roaming Central Park in each others arms as we enjoyed the cold breeze that I have grown to love but Harry dislikes.
"Hey, y/n. Look at that." Harry whispers up to a tree. I look up and see two doves cuddled up on the tree getting ready to snooze in the cold weather. I giggle as we kept walking.
"I have something I need to tell you, y/n." Harry says as we walk towards the only dry bench in the city of New York. We sit down close, almost like the birds in the tree, and I let out a hum letting him know that I'm all ears.
"I know you were hesitant to get back in a relationship after your last one and I saw how you struggled to trust me after you even said yes. But in the span of 4 months... I just.. I've never fell so hard and so fast." He breathes. I stare at him confused not knowing where it was going.
"I'm trying to say that I fell in love with you. I love you." He says nervously. He moves away from me to fiddle with his gloved fingers.
I furrow my eyebrows and bite my bottom lip, equally nervous.
"Maybe won't you take it back? Say you were tryna make me laugh and nothing has to change today you didn't mean to say I love you. I love you and I don't want to."
"What do you mean you don't want to?" Harry whispers as his eyes glistened. I let out a breathe watching the vapor get lost in the air.
"I'm not ready." I whisper back in the same tone.
Harry gives me the most adorable smile as he wiped the stray tears.
"I didn't mean to make you cry." I sniff pulling him into a side hug on the bench.
"The smile that you gave me even when you felt like dying. We fall apart as it gets dark I'm in your arms in Central Park, there's nothing you can do or say I can't escape the way I love you. I don't want to, but I love you."
"Its's okay baby. There's nothing wrong with taking your time. I'll still be there." He says leaning down to kiss my lips. The salty tears on our lips makes their way into our kiss but we keep going like it's our last kiss. Though it's not I can't help think like it is.
He pulls away and stand up. "Let's get going before they send out a search party." He checks his watch as he grabs my hand and leads us back. He pulls me to his side and wraps his arm around me.
"I want you to mean it when you say it. I promise I'll wait."
