Harry's POV:
I raised my chin up and smirked proudly as I walked out of the bathroom, holding the gift behind my back in my hands. Rebecca's sitting on the bed, scrolling through her iPad that rested on her bent knees as she leaned against the headboard, her long hair gathered up in a messy bun.
I was happy it was finally the right time to give this gift to her. She didn't notice my presensce, too focused on her thoughts as she stared at her iPad. I sat down in front of her, finally gaining her attention. She looked up at me, her hazel eyes puffy and blooshot. She didn't sleep at all last night for some strange reason, and when I asked her why, she said she just couldn't. It confused me and I wanted to know more, because I didn't like the thought that Rebecca is keeping things from me.
Nevertheless, I dropped the subject and made jokes, wanting to hear her laugh. She was flashing me small, tired smiles and I told her to take a nap, but she denied. I don't know what's up with this girl and sleep, it's like she hates sleeping.
The reason behind my extremely happy mood, is my dream. I saw Louis in my dream. We were both running down a hill, our feet hitting hard the green grass. The fresh air pushed our hair behind and we were laughing and teasing each other about who's going to get to the big tree first. Everything looked beautiful. The nature literally calmed me down, and the burning of the sun brought sweat to the back of my neck.
Louis and I both won, and we sat down on the cold grass, leaning against the tree. I remember how happy he looked as he laughed, his blue eyes shining with pure excitement. I was happier than ever to have my best friend back, and I wanted the moment never to end.
As much as I was hurt and dissapointed when I woke up, I was still in such a great mood that I literally jumped on Rebecca on the couch and placed multiple kisses on her face. She wasn't expecting such thing since she was about to sleep, but I can tell she liked it.
"What?" she asked, raising a brow.
I smiled and brought the gift in front of me, seeing how her hazel eyes widened in surprise and she gasped. "Merry Christmas!" I said happily, bringing the gift closer to her.
She grinned, happiness finally flashing behind her eyes as she placed the iPad on the side. "You bought me another present?" she said, taking the gift in her hands.
"Oh yes," I nodded, grinning widely.
She removed the gift's cover and red ribbon to take out a black small box. She stared at it with curiosity, her brows pulled low over her eyes. I waited a little nervously, wanting to know if she liked the gift or not.
I noticed how her hand trembled a little as she reached to open it but stopped for a moment, swallowing hard, her actions confusing me and making me feel even more nervous than before. Silence surrounded us, the sound of her heartbeat clear to my ears. I leaned forward a little, my eyes scanning her pale face and hazel eyes that seemed thoughtful.
She took a deep breath and finally opened the box, revealing the diamond ring inside. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand, hazel eyes wide and full of shock. She froze, making me hold my breath. I heard her pulse increasing the speed inside her chest, making the nervoussness in my stomach grow stronger.
"Rebecca?" I called softly, afraid that if I raise my volume she might pass out. Her face was much paler now, her eyes never leaving the diamond ring in the box. I saw how it shined under the light of the sun that entered our room through the window, which was something to admire.
She slowly pulled her hand back, her mouth still open. She blinked as if trying to come back to reality. "H-Harry I-I..." she stuttered quietly, her voice sounding different.
"You don't like it?" I couldn't help but ask. I wanted to make sure she liked the gift since nervoussness was taking the best of me.
She swallowed hard before locking eyes with me, making my heart skip a beat. "N-no, I-I love it," she mumbled, her words bringing a wave of relief wash through me.
I let a small sigh and nodded, seeing her pursing her lips tightly as something flashed behind her eyes. "Are you sure? I can-,"
"No." she blurted, shaking her head. "I love it, seriously, it's amazing." she said with honesty, looking back down at the ring.
I took the box from her hands and took the ring in my hand before reaching for her hand. Her breath hitched when I touched her skin and brought her hand closer to me. I slowly slid the ring around her finger, hearing her pulse fastening even more. I looked up at her to see her eyes watering as she stared down at the ring, making my stomach twist.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked gently, ducking my head down to have a better look at her.
She took a shaky breath before looking up at me, sadness flashing momentarily across her features, confusing me. "I'm just.." she murmured. "Thank you." she said and suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me in a tight embrace that literally knocked all the oxygen from my lungs.
I wrapped my arms around her body, pulling her even closer to me. I didn't care if it was hard for me to breath. I needed her that close, since I could feel happiness transport to my body from hers. She made me feel good and happy, and I didn't want that moment to end.
"No problem, babe." I murmured, breathing in her amazing scent.
She hid her face in my neck, her lips pressing light kisses on my skin there, sending chills down my spine. "Thank you so much," she mumbled again, her voice quiet.
I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment of having the only person that makes me happy in my arms. It was so overwhelming, but it surely cured the wounds inside of me. We pulled back after what felt like ages even though it was just a minute or two and locked eyes.
She seemed nervous and sad yet happy and excited at the same time, it confused me. All her feelings were showed in her eyes that I came to admire, but those feelings were the complete opposite to be felt at the same time. I cupped her cheeks with my hands and pressed my lips against hers, enjoying the heat that rose up to my body through the kiss. She kissed me back and our lips moved in sync, giving me the chance to slide my tongue in her mouth. She pulled back pretty quick though and flashed me a big grin.
"I have something for you too," she winked and stood up from the bed, making me give her a weird look.
"You what?" I asked confused, staring at her as she made her way to the closet. She gotta be kidding me.
"You heard me."
"When did you buy it?"
"Yesterday, when I 'went to the pool'," she said, making me nod in realization.
She opened the closet and searched something behind the bags until she turned around with a black bag in her hand with a blue ribbon on it. I gave her another weird look as she walked towards me with a smirk, not really believing she bought me a gift, especially after I told her not to.
"Why did you get me a gift, I told you it wasn't-,"
"Shut up and open your gift." she cut me off, chuckling right after as she sat on the bed next to me.
I looked at the black bag as she handed it to me, actually wondering what she bought me but still not wanting to open it. A sideways glance at her told me she was pretty excited, wich was something I didn't want to ruin. I sighed and opened the bag, shoving my hand in to take out a deep blue box. I looked at it and raised a brow before locking eyes with Rebecca.
"Open it," she urged, clapping her hands.
I pursed my lips and opened the box to see a Calvin Klein cologne. I chuckled and looked at her, noticing the wrinkles around her eyes. "Do you like it?" she asked, seeming curious.
I nodded. "Yes." I replied, looking down at the box again.
"You didn't like it," she suddenly said, making me give her a weird look.
"What? No I-,"
"I knew I should've bought something else," she said, standing up.
I shook my head. "No Rebecca, it's-,"
"If you want me I can take it back and maybe buy you something you will like," she offered quickly.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her down on the bed, making her sit down next to me. She gave me a confused look and I chuckled at how nervously she chewed on her lower lip. I tacked a strand of her hair behind her ear and she let a small sigh as she stared down.
"I like it. I really do. Stop being so nervous about it," I said honestly.
She looked up at me with surprise. "Really?" the corner of her lips turned into a small smile.
"Yes. Thank you Rebecca." I smiled back at her.
She bit her lower lip and looked at the bag again. "There's another one." she said, grinning now.
"Really?" I asked, furrowing my brows.
"Yeah."
I felt kind of bad for not buying her more gifts and only one. She bought me two and even though I buy her gifts more often than she does, I wished I had bought hundreds of gifts for her. I don't want her to buy me gifts though, but now since she did and she's so excited about it, I can't help but want to keep that smile on her face, even if that means I have to accept her gifts.
I reached inside the bag and took another box out, a deep red with the H letter on it. I opened the box and felt surprised when I saw a chain with a circle in the center, having the letter H in it. I stared at it with wide eyes, admiring the well made chain. I looked back at Rebecca to find her staring at me intently, a soft smile playing on her lips.
"Wow, that one is.." I started and looked down, taking the chain in my fingers. "It's great. Thank you."
"Ah, no problem," she said, resting her head against my shoulder. "Merry Christmas, Harry." she said.
I smiled and looked down at her, the chain still in my hands. She leaned back to give me space to put the chain around my neck. When I was done, I looked at her and pressed my lips against hers, thanking her once again.
Rebecca's POV:
It felt unreal, staring at the diamond ring that hugged my finger. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of it and how beautiful it looked. It shined amazingly under the lights in the room, making it seem ten times better than it already was.
I sighed, a small wave of dissapointment washing through me yet again. When I first saw the ring, I froze. Like literally, I couldn't move an inch. I thought Harry was proposing me and I couldn't find the words to talk or reply. It was shocking and unexpectable. The thought of me dying and not having the chance to marry Harry then appeared in my head, bringing pain to my heart. It was sad, having such a happy time in your life whilst you know it's your last day of living it.
It hurt knowing that it's the last day I'm seeing Harry, touching him, kissing him, hugging him, talking to him. It felt odd knowing that I won't wake up next to him tomorrow morning. My heart thuds painfully at the thought of not even having the chance to say goodbye to my friends.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair before leaving the bathroom, entering the rest of the suite and seeing Harry laying in bed with his eyes closed. I smiled, even though my heart was aching. I went and sat next to him, aware he's awake.
"Hey," I murmured, reaching for one of his hands that were placed on his chest.
"Hey," he smiled softly, not opening his eyes as I held his hand in mine, playing with his rings. "Wanna see something really cool?" He asked, making me furrow my brows.
"What?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Sit on my lap." he said, making my heart skip a beat.
"Okay," I said slowly and straddled his lap with my legs, still having his hand in mine.
"Lean closer." he instructed.
I obeyed, being now a few inches away from his face. The bright light of the sun made me take in every detail of his features as I stared at him. He suddenly opened his eyes and my heart stopped. The green colour had dissapeared from his irises and all I could see was hazel. Hazel just like the first time. I looked at his eyes surprised, not expecting something like that.
"Your eyes," I mumbled, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Check this out now," he said, closing his eyes for a couple of seconds before reopening them, making my breath hitch.
His eyes were now a deep blue, just like the sea and the sky. I blinked, not believing what I was seeing. I was lost in the beauty of his eyes, feeling suddenly calmed and relaxed. He closed his eyes again and reopened them, the colour of his eyes now grey. He looked gorgeous one way or another, every eye colour suiting him perfectly.
I stared at his grey eyes and gasped when I saw them change colour. From grey, they turned into purple, the sight breathtaking. I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips as I stared at this...miracle. He then turned his eye colour to white, his pupils dilating. I couldn't help but laugh out of excitement, my cheeky grin mirroring his.
"This is awesome, I love it," I admitted, shaking my head gently.
He chuckled and entwined our fingers. "Pick a colour." he urged, seeming amused.
"Okay, okay, wait," I said, thinking of a colour. "Gold."
His white eyes turned into gold, making me look at them as if I've seen eyes for the first time. It was so cool, watching his eyes changing colours. "When did you find out you can do that?" I asked curious.
"About two minutes ago." he chuckled.
"This is amazing, literally," I mumbled, leaning closer to him. Our chests were pressed against each others as I rested my forehead against his and brushed my nose against his, earning a chuckle from him.
"Rebecca, can I ask you something?" he surprised me by saying out of the blue. His gold eyes seemed curious as they shined and stared back at me.
"What?" I chuckled, my fingers trailing down his jawline.
"Is anything wrong?" he asked slowly, making my stomach twist.
I shook my head and looked down, trying to find a way to ignore the fear and nervoussness in the pit of my stomach. I can't tell him. He will be shattered, broken. I don't want to hurt him, especially today. It's better if we enjoy the last day than fight. "No, I'm fine. Just a little tired," I murmured, playing with the collar of his tee.
"You sure?" he pressed.
I nodded and looked up at his gold, intense eyes and felt a knot in my stomach. He tried to read through me, see if I'm lying. But really, even though I was hurt and sad, I was fine. I had been sleeping with the decision of me risking my life for Harry for months now, so it wasn't something new to me. The thing is: last day of my life. That's it. There's no tomorrow for me. And Harry doesn't know that.
"Yeah." I nodded and kissed his cheek. "Don't worry about me, Harry," I murmured.
He frowned lightly at my words and made his gold eyes turn to emerald green again. He flashed me a disbelieving look but covered it with a blank one before leaning in and pressing his lips against mine.
"You are so important to me," he mumbled against my lips, making my heart race and a wave of sadness and happiness to flood through me.
"You are more important, Harry." I mumbled, feeling my body heating up.
"If only you saw what I can see," he slid his tongue inside my mouth.
"Harry," I pulled back and locked eyes with him. "You have to know that, some things will change." I said.
He frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked.
I pursed my lips, feeling bad for not telling him the truth.
"You'll see."
