April 4 2023, Cancún
THEY WENT SKINNY DIPPING.
It was midnight and Harry and Alliah had managed to sneak out of their rooms and out into the beach.
No one was around, no one was awake. It was just the two of them, the water and the moon.
It was beautiful, letting themself be bare, feeling the waves crash against their skin, the moon glowing above them.
There were no words to explain how they felt in that moment. They felt like the stars themselves, shining and a beauty to be admired.
The moon protected them, just the slightest light as they moved their bodies in unison, hands intertwined and heavy breathing.
Harry left kisses along Alliah's collarbone. No heat to it, just softness and love. This wasn't lust, it was love.
Alliah left a mark on Harry's neck, leaving her claim on the man she would marry someday.
Their rings weren't on, but they didn't need metal and jewels to let everyone know they were taken. They didn't need jewelry to know that this bond between them was forever.
They stayed there for a long time after, just in the water, floating, hands raised as they pointed at stars, laughing quietly and whispering as they made up constellations.
They made their way closer to shore, and ended up sitting down, inside the water, Harry holding Alliah over his lap, arm wrapped around her waist.
Alliah sighed, content as she leaned her head against Harry's shoulder. "You and me. That's all I'll ever want."
Harry kissed her shoulder.
Alliah always said 'want'. Never 'need' with Harry.
Because she knew she didn't need anyone, she didn't need Harry to live, to survive. But Alliah wanted him. She wanted him in the morning, with messy hair and a coffee-deprived mind, she wanted him in the afternoon, with work calls and creating music in the living room, she wanted him at night, when she was tired and just needed comfort.
Alliah didn't need him. But she wanted him, forever.
"I love you," Harry whispered, just for her to hear.
No one needed to see their love, no one to take pictures or to whisper about it, the only witnesses to this love would be the stars and the moon.
Harry's love was something just for Alliah.
Alliah nuzzled her face into his neck. "I love you."

NEW TEXT FROM KATIE!
Katie: kit-kat
Alliah: hardcore swiftie
kit-kat
hey, wtf, you're in
cancún?
hardcore swiftie
yup, why?
kit-kat
ali, you told me next
time you were in cancún,
we'd go together
kit-kat
i haven't visited my fam
in forever
hardcore swiftie
shit, i'm sorry, i completely
forgot i promised you that
hardcore swiftie
next time, okay?
kit-kat
ali, stop it
kit-kat
you constantly have to
apologize for the stupid
shit you do, and i'm sick of it
kit-kat
you keep pushing me away,
you're never around and
you're always busy with your
other friends or with harry
kit-kat
we haven't seen each other,
ALONE, in four months.
did you know that?
hardcore swiftie
kat, i had no idea you felt
this way. i'm really sorry
i made you feel that way
hardcore swiftie
i'm not pushing you away,
i swear, i've just been so
focused on work, and i'm
sorry if i accidentally made
other people a priority over you.
hardcore swiftie
you know i love to make new friends
and i guess i've been so
focused on all the new people
i've met, i didn't pay enough
attention to the people i already
knew.
i'm sorry
kit-kat
you've always been like this,
ali. you always make everyone
else a priority over me, when
we're supposed to be best friends.
i'm the person who's been around
the longest, and i'm the person
you spend the least time around.
hardcore swiftie
katie, it isn't about making everyone
else more of a priority. i'm just
spread thin trying to keep up
with all of the people around me
kit-kat
but you don't even invite me
to group things, and you always
push me to the side.
hardcore swiftie
katie, i don't invite you to
group things because you don't
want to be invited. and i don't
mean to be rude, kat,
but sometimes your personality
clashes with my other friends,
and i'd much rather see you in
an environment where both
you and everyone else are
comfortable.
kit-kat
so, your friends don't like me?
hardcore swiftie
you can be perceived as a little
rude sometimes, but that's
because they don't understand
you like i do, and sometimes
people just don't get along.
and i don't care if my friends
don't get along with you, that
doesn't change that you're
still my best friend.
hardcore swiftie
i don't know what solution to
offer you, all i can say is that
i'll try harder to make you feel
included
hardcore swiftie
but i need you to understand
that my world has expanded,
and my friend group isn't as
small anymore. i will try to make
you more of a priority, but i can't
promise that we'll see each other
nearly as often as we used to
hardcore swiftie
i'm trying my best, i swear
kit-kat
all i need you to do is try
kit-kat
i feel like you're growing so much,
and i'm being left behind.
kit-kat
and somedays i feel like i'm just
dragging you down, and you'd
be better off without me. like
maybe you've outgrown me.
kit-kat
and i want the best for you, i
do. i want you to be happy.
i just want you to be happy
with me and i know that's selfish
hardcore swiftie
i get it, kat, i do. and i
don't think i'll ever outgrow you.
you've been in my life for years
now, and when everything has
changed, you're my constant.
maybe we won't be as close as
we used to, but i can't imagine my
life without you, kat. i really can't.
kit-kat
i love you, b**ch <3
hardcore swiftie
i love you too, b**ch
