Brave // Harry Styles

Chapter 13

"Will you take a ride with me?" He asked gently.

I sighed and walked towards the canoe. After putting on the life jacket, I hopped in and waited for him to join me.

He eventually got in and sat across from me before pushing us off into the water. It was awkward at first, but we got used to it and I just sat back and enjoyed the scenery.

"Look, Lacy. I just want to apologize. I didn't mean to hurt you, or say those things. I guess I am just not used to having someone in my life I care about so much. I do care about you, so much," he stressed, then continued, "please, forgive me. I won't do it again. I didn't even think about touching Sasha that night. It didn't even sound appealing. That Amanda girl, I thought I was doing the right thing when I told her to sit by me and keep me company, but when she leaned in...I couldn't do it, Lacy. I couldn't stop thinking about you."

He finally stopped and ran his fingers messily through his hair.

There is no way I couldn't forgive him after that. That was a beautiful speech.

"I forgive you, Harry."

He looked up at me and gave me a huge smile that I couldn't help but return.

He grabbed my hands before saying, "Now that I have said that, I want to ask you something."

"What?"

"Will you, Lacy Montgomery, be my girlfriend?"

I mentally clapped inside before nodding my head quickly and wrapping him up in a hug. I pecked his lips before he leaned in again. That's what we did for awhile too, we kissed. It was perfect.

"I'm so happy you said yes," he admitted.

"Really?"

"Yeah, hopefully I don't screw up like I usually do," he said.

"You won't," I assured him.

"By the way, I have some questions," I laughed.

"Okay, what?"

I looked at him and he was looking back at me with an amused expression on his face. He smiled and I poked his dimple.

"Okay, first, who's phone did you text me off of? And, second, you have amazing poet skills. That's not really a question, but I don't care,"

"Okay, first, I texted you off Nialls friends phone, and second, thank you baby," he leaned in and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.

I immediately felt my cheeks turn a light rosy pink color. I hid my face in his chest.

"Want go back?" He asked me.

"Sure," I agreed and sat back while he paddled us to land.

I picked out my outfit for school before getting into the shower.

I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if Harry didn't want people to know we are dating?

What if?

What if?

What if?

What if?

I am definitely a 'what if' person, but I couldn't help it. Doesn't everyone point out the worst that could happen?

I shook my head and washed through my hair into my scalp. Once I was done with that, I washed my body quickly and turned off the shower.

I got dressed in my get up before driving myself to school. The school was still the same old boring brick building I have grown to love and hate at the same time. Hate because, well, it's school. Love because I find my friends...and others.
