Tomorrow [H.S. || A.U.]

Chapter 65

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

I let out a surprised yelp as Harry picks me up and throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Harry!" I laugh.

"Sorry, sunshine. You were walking to slow." He retorts matter-of-factly as he quickly walks from where he haphazardly parked the car to his apartment door.

This is making me oddly reminisce to New Year's when Harry and I first had sex.

He picked me up like this and carried me to his bedroom.

That moment felt playful and yet so intimate at the same time.

I will always cherish our first time. Neither of us knew what the hell we were doing, but figuring it out along the way together made it not feel awkward. Like I would have expected having sex for the first time would be like.

The fact that we have been each other's first for everything also makes what Harry and I have feel even more special. He is the only man that will ever have that part of me. And I am the only woman that will have that part of him. There is something about that, it makes me feel like what we have is very different from most.

A lot of people called me crazy or a prude for not wanting to sleep around. Chalk that up to either my trauma with men or just not feeling a strong desire to do that. But in the end, I'm glad I waited for Harry.

Fuck, we are engaged.

Part of me still thinks this is a dream and that any moment someone is going to wake me up.

But no, this is my reality.

Who knew that me, the girl who used to go by V because she thought she didn't live up to the meaning of her name, now is in love and feels beautiful? I would have never seen that coming.

Talk about development.

I'm actually proud of myself.

And I'm proud of the woman I have become since I met Harry. Shit, I actually go by Venus now, my dad doesn't abuse me anymore, I'm engaged to the love of my damn life, I graduated, I secured a job in New York City.

I couldn't be happier.

And Harry. God, I'm so fucking proud of him too.

For starters, how he handled the Fred situation. What happened to Fred was literally worst case scenario. And for Harry to put his all into helping Fred and being there for him no matter what showed tremendous strength and courage.

Even though it broke him. He did end up picking up the pieces and we put my Humpty Dumpty back together again.

He also graduated and is planning on moving to New York City with me.
