"We love you, i'll see you in a couple of days." My mom said as she hugged me at the airport. She would be back for my next show, as she promised to come to all of them. She was my greatest support system. I hugged my sisters as well, saying my goodbyes to all of them.

As I watched them walk into the airport, I waved to them, wiping away a tear. This was always the hardest part of them coming over, but I knew I'd get to see them in just a short couple of days.

It was already the evening and I now had to rush to Lele's apartment as we were all going to a concert tonight. We had decided to get ready together tonight so I brought all my things with me so I could go straight from the airport.

Once I got to her place, I took the elevator up to her apt, Lele greeting me at the door. I hugged her before she let me in. She had a cute charcuterie board set up for us, Lele was always just so cute.

We sat for a while, snacking on things she had set up on the board as she wasted no time with asking me questions and teasing me about Harry. I felt my cheeks began to turn pink as I instantly threw my hands over my face, trying to cover them.

"Oh my god, you're blushing!!! You like him!!!" She yelled as she jumped up and down. I giggled as I watched her be as excited as a little kid in a candy store. Lele was very close with Harry, and she'd always try to sell him to me - saying that he was a great guy, selfless and honest.

"There is nothing he wouldn't do for you.." she would always say but I couldn't help but have my concerns which I expressed to her. But these past few weeks have been great, I've really grown to trust him and I cared a lot about him, of course I was crushing.

"Okay tell me everything!!" Lele said as she sat back down to listen to me. I couldn't help but smile as I told her about dinner with my family and the night we grabbed ice cream just the two of us. I wondered if she had already heard all of this from Harry but I didn't care.. I was waiting to gush about this to someone.

"Oh my goodness, who would've guessed that Harry was so romantic.. he's falling, hard!!" She said as I had just finished telling her about him talking me to the mountain view. He was beyond romantic, something I wouldn't had guessed either.

"Have you guys.. kissed yet?" She asked me as I shook my head. "There have been times that I thought he would but no.." I said, hating whenever Harry teased me. But i'm sure he was just waiting for the right moment. He had said he wanted to be completely sure before moving forward romantically.

"I'm sure it will happen soon, he really likes you.. and you two match each other so well." She said before my phone began to ring, interrupting us. As I ran to it, I saw it was Harry, smiling as I picked up, putting him on speaker.

"Hello beautiful, are you with Lele already?" he asked, Lele running towards me, jumping at the chance to respond.

"Yes BEAUTIFUL, she is." she said, teasing him at how he had spoken to me. I giggled as I heard Harry laugh across the line.

"Are you two gossiping or actually getting ready? because i'll be there in an hour." He said, both of us looking at the time. Fuck. We had definitely gotten distracted by all of the talking.

"No worries, we will be ready." She said, immediately hanging up before grabbing me and leading me to her room. We were on crunch time as we both started with our hair and finished with doing our makeup.

We were surprisingly able to get ready in time, both of us grabbing our bags and checking ourselves out one more time. "Oh my god girl, you look so hot, Harry is going to be DROOLING!" She said, making me blush as I looked at myself.. I did look hot.

She grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the apt and leading me outside to where Harry was waiting for us. He stood outside of his car with Carter as they waited for us. Once we made it outside, he looked up, both of us making eye contact with each other. He smiled charmingly as he walked up to me, pulling me into a hug.

"You look so beautiful Ry." He whispered as he kissed my temple. "Thank you, you don't look half bad yourself!" I joked, Harry looking so handsome.

He held my hand as he walked me over to Carter, introducing me to him. "Hi Miss Rylee, it's so amazing to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you, and I have to say, you are even more stunning in person." He said as he hugged me, were all of Harry's friends just the sweetest people ever?

"You are one lucky guy." Carter said, all of us knowing that he was right. I had won the lottery with Rylee, she was just a dream come true. I knew I needed to make a move sooner rather than later, but I had to be honest with saying I was nervous to.. I just didn't want to mess things up. Rylee deserved the best and I wanted to be that for her.

As we drove to the concert, Rylee drove up front with me, my hand sitting on hers as I slightly caressed it. Lele and Carter sat in the back, jamming to the music we had on. This was a night off well deserved for Lele and me. Dancing everyday was exhausting so it was time to unplug.

As we made it to the concert, we walked in all together, a crowd of people already running towards us and trying to take pictures with all of us. I kept looking behind me to make sure Rylee was okay. Lele had grabbed onto her hand and was leading her behind me.

With these many people, I didn't think it would be too smart to hold her hand and making things public before we even knew what was going on between the two of us. But I always got into protective mode in big crowds, even though they always made me anxious as well.

We found our seats, being able to break from the big crowd and grab a drink. We all casually spoke, joking around about rehearsals as we waited for the concert to start. I spotted a couple of people pointing their phones towards us, that letting me know that I had to be careful with how I acted around Rylee tonight.

As much as I wanted to hold her hand and cuddle her, I couldn't with all of these people around.

Lele walked over to me, smiling like an idiot without saying a word. I laughed, asking why she was smiling so hard. "You know.." was all she said, making me laugh even more and blush. Yes I knew...

"Harry is falling in love!!" She said to me, bringing me closer before saying it so I was the only one who had heard it. I laughed, shaking my head and jokingly calling her dumb.

"She's amazing Harry, don't fuck it up. She is absolutely the best person for you." She said, and I knew she was right. Rylee was so thoughtful and just the sweetest person I could ever ask for, she had the ability to light up a room with her infectious smile and laugh.

"And she likes you too.. a lot, if you couldn't tell." She said. Rylee and I have had conversations in the past, but it was obvious that we were both tiptoeing around what was right in front of us.

"Kiss her already or I will." she said, laughing before the lights dimmed and everyone in the studio began to scream. I smiled as I turned at Rylee who was standing next to me. We locked eyes for a moment before Lele hugged us both, already singing and dancing to the first song that came on.

We laughed as we danced all night with her before a slower song came on. We watched as Lele shared some fake tears, saying how much she missed her husband. "You don't know what you have until it's thousands of miles away..." She said, pushing me towards Rylee. I shook my head, knowing exactly what she was doing.

But it was as if I no longer cared that we were in the middle of thousands of people. I stood behind her, wrapping my arms around her as I held her close, leaving a kiss on her bare shoulder. We rocked back and forth to the song as Rylee cuddled in my arms.

"Don't worry, we'll find our own ride home tonight." Carter joked, part of me hoping he wasn't joking.. but we both laughed it off.

In this moment though, everything finally felt just right. Like we were both meant to live this moment, together, in each others' arms.
