Chapter seventy four.
(AN – PLEASE VOTE AND COMMENT)
Songs for this chapter : Certain things - James Arthur
is this love - James Arthur. Seriously he's amazing whether you like him as a person or not ( I do) he's still brilliant musically. I feel like these two songs really link to Emma and Harry's relationship and this chapter in particular, listen to them and tell me what you think. His whole album is amazing though x
HARRY’S POV:
It’s been just over a week since that awful night, the night I found Emma coved in her own blood. The night I realised she was nowhere near as ok as I thought she was.
Not much has changed but I didn’t expect it to, I know Emma isn’t going to get better over night, I know it’s going to take time. A lot of time. But we have all the time in the world, we have the rest of our lives and I don’t care if we spend the next 70 years making Emma better and only get 1 year together after she’s better because she’ll have gotten better and we’ll have been together throughout it all.
Today we’re going to my mums to tell her about the ‘wedding’ I’m not really sure what to call it actually is it a vow renewal or is it a wedding? I don’t think it really matters either way to be honest.
The wedding is next week, yeah it’s soon but we decided there’s no point in waiting.
Maybe the wedding will help in the process of Emma getting better, it’s bound to because it’s going to be a whole day dedicated to our love and our lives that we’re going to spend together.
I love it when she smiles even if it only last a second it lights up my entire world and makes the day the most perfect it could ever be. Hopefully the wedding will be filled with her smiles.
EMMA’S POV:
I smooth over my hair checking there isn’t a hair out of place, today I’ve gone with straight hair pared in the middle with the shorter pieces softly curled away from my face.
My makeup is the same as always. My outfit is a red tartan body con dress paired with some doc martens.
‘’Ready beautiful?’’ Harry says standing behind me examining himself in the mirror.
‘’Yeah’’ I nod moving towards the bedroom door.
Harrys hand grabs my wrist stopping me and pulling me back towards him.
His head dips down and his soft but slightly rough lips meet with my own allowing myself to zone out of all the mess inside my head for just a few short seconds.
Kissing him literally takes it all away as cheesy as it sounds, it does. Obviously the second we pull apart the mess reappears but for those few seconds its gone and I can just be happy and free and in love without the voices and thoughts that control me.
‘’Have I told you how much I love you today?’’ He murmurs his lips tracing carefully along my jaw.
‘’Yeah multiple times’’ I giggle quietly.
‘’Well it’s true… I love you’’ he says his lips hovering just above my ear his warm breath fanning lightly over neck.
‘’I love you’’ I say almost whispering as my eyes meet with his deep green ones. It’s funny how when we first met I joked about how his eyes were the kind you could get lost in because they really are they often cause me to lose my train of thought and ability to speak.
His lips meet mine again once again emptying my head and filling it with the electricity the pumps through my veins whenever our bodies touch.
I always assumed the electricity would disappear or die down after a while of us being together but I was wrong. If anything it’s stronger than ever.
‘’We should really get going’’ Harry chuckles his lips still hovering just above mine.
‘’Yeah…we should’’ I murmur allowing my lips to press against his just one last time.
The whole journey is filled with tiny moments, the perfect moments the kind I hope to remember forever but fear that I’ll one day forget. These moments make things seem better just for a short while.
Harry’s eyes on me or mine on him. His hand brushing my thigh or hand as the other remains on the wheel. His soft breaths and the rising and falling of his chest. The emotions and expression upon his face. The smirks I receive whenever he catches me watching him. The way he looks when a song he likes or dislikes plays. The way his brows furrow when he’s in deep thought. The way his eyelashes flutter whenever he blinks.
All these things are tiny and overall insignificant but in the moment they’re my whole world. They’re my reason for being, they’re beautiful. They’re Harry.
‘’Lovely to see you two again’’ Anne smiles as we step inside the house.
‘’You too’’ I smile as she pulls me into a quick but tight hug before realising me and doing the same to Harry.
‘’Dinner should be ready in about 10 minutes, I just checked with the staff’’ Anne informs us as we take a seat in the sitting room.
Staff it’s hard to believe they live like that, that Harry did for most of his life until a few months ago when he moved in with me. He doesn’t seem like that kind of person. But I suppose I shouldn’t stereotype because neither do Anne or Gemma.
I’m thankful he isn’t like a stereotypical rich kid because then there is no way we’d be together.
‘’Gemma’’ Anne call’s loudly from the bottom of the stairs seconds later Gemma appears and greets us before we all sit on the sofas and arm chair waiting for dinner to be ready.
Harry’s hand is rested reassuringly upon my thigh the grip quite tight but just how I like it, it wouldn’t be comfortable or right another way.
The conversation slips between worldly affairs and Anne’s social gossiping before Harry clears his throat and decides to turn the topic of conversation elsewhere.
‘’Mum, Gem we’ve got something to tell you’’ Harry says loudly drawing their attention towards us.
‘’You’re pregnant’’ Anne squeals her eyes wide and excited.
‘’MUM! How many times are you going to assume that’s our news, we’ve already said kids aren’t the kind of thing we ever plan on and certainly not now’’ Harry sighs.
‘’Sorry’’ she smiles motioning for Harry to tell her the real news.
‘’Well y’know now to contracts over and we’re free to divorce whenever we want’’ Harry begins.
‘’You want to divorce?’’ Anne asks disappointedly.
‘’No… we want to stay married’’ Harry says
‘’Oh my god’’ Anne says excitedly her eyes winded ever more than they were when she assumed I was pregnant.
‘’Yeah well next week we’re having a wedding or vow renewal, whatever you want to call it. And well we’d like it if you and Gemma came’’
‘’Of course oh my god this is amazing’’ Anne beams.
‘’It’s nothing like our last wedding, it’s our way, it’s real this time’’ Harry explains.
‘’Of course’’ Anne nods her smile still wide.
‘’Well I should go find the best bottle of champagne shouldn’t I? As long as it’s safe for you to drink Emma nothing else I should know is there?’’ She laughs raising an eye brow.
‘’Mum!’’ Harry shouts again.
‘’Harry calm down I’m winding you up on purpose’’ she laughs.
‘’Meany’’ Harry chuckles sticking a tongue out playfully.
‘’Oh god I’m marrying a child’’ I groan rolling my eyes.
‘’And you love me’’ Harry says still pulling stupid faces this time with crossed eyes.
‘’Not with a face like that I don’t’’ I laugh sending Gemma into a fit of giggles also.
Harry pouts and flutters his delicate eye lashes at me a couple of times before I give in.
‘’Yes I love you’’ I murmur pressing my lips to his for just a second.
‘’I don’t know why but I do’’ I tease.
