I squirmed in my seat as Harry took another blow in the stomach. He let out a loud grunt making me shift uncomfortably in my seat on the bench. I never enjoyed watching Harry train or at his fights in general. Hell, I didn't want to watch train but was was nearly dragged by Harry saying how I was his good luck charm. I watched as Harry threw a punch at the other person.
I let out a silent squeal as Harry was forcefully pushed down on the mat. The other guy straddled Harry and repeatedly hit him. Suddenly, Harry flipped them over and Harry took the upper hand throwing punches.
I jumped when someone placed their hand on my shoulder. I turned in my spot and Damian stood behind me with his lips tugged upwards in a smile.
"Ariel" He acknowledged my presence.
"Damian" I hesitantly said.
From the first time I met him until now, I was still a little scared of him. But I've grown used to his appearance.
FLASHBACK
"Ariel, baby" Harry's voice rang behind me.
Harry just finished his match and won, like always.
I turned in my spot and my heart nearly ripped out of my chest. Damian stood with his arms crossed over his chest. A skull tattoo peeked out of his sleeve as he looked at me with his blue eyes. A 5 o'clock shadow adorned his face as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"H-hi" I stuttered.
"Nice meeting you" Damian said with a straight face nearly making me shit my pants as he kept his cold gaze on me.
END OF FLASHBACK
After seeing him a couple more times after I met him the first time, he was a really nice guy. He constantly makes jokes about Harry making me laugh.
"Its been a while" He took a seat next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I nodded on agreement and we directed our gaze to where Harry was.
"Harry! Stop throwing punches like a pussy!" Damian shouted as I covered my mouth and silently laughed.
Harry let out a huff before shooting us both a glare.
"Take 5, Styles!" Damian shouted.
Harry ducked under the ropes and jogged over to where we were sitting. He took off the cap of my water bottle before finishing the rest.
"What are you guys up to?" Harry wheezed, trying to regain his breathing.
"Catching up with my bestie" Damian chuckled putting me in a head lock and ruffling my hair.
"Damian, stop harassing my girlfriend" Harry joked as Damian let me go and I ran my fingers through my hair.
"5 minutes" Damian said before walking out.
Harry turned to me before using his hips to spread my legs aside so he.could fit in between them.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer but I put my hands on his chest not wanting to get close to his sweaty body.
He pouted at my rejection. He tried again for bring me close but I stood my ground. Instead of trying once more, he leaned down and tried to kiss me but I tried backing away as much as possible.
"Harry. No!" I screeched.
"Why" He groaned.
"You reek!" I loudly exclaimed.
This time when he leaned in, I didn't oblige. His lips firmly pressed to mine as my hands traveled to his biceps and rested there.
He deepened the kiss by having his tongue skim my bottom lip. I granted entrance and his tongue met mine.
"Oh god, please no sex on the bench, man" Damian spoke making us part as I rested my head in the crook of his neck.
"Damian" Harry groaned making his chest rumble.
"Just trying to keep this place free from mini you's" Damian joked as I silently giggled.
I removed my face from Harry's neck and he pecked my nose before walking back into the ring.
***
Another hour passed and I still sat on the bench watching Harry. A different guy was now competing with Harry, a more well built man.
Finally after a little more training for the fight that was tomorrow, Harry was allowed to go home. He left his shirt off as his hand was placed on my lower back guiding me out the gym. Light snow flakes fell as we walked to Harry's car. The radio lightly played music as the car ride to Harry's was filled a comfortable silence.
I hopped out of the car as Harry followed behind me. I unlocked the door with the spare key Harry gave me for my 19th birthday.
FLASHBACK
"Happy birthday, baby" Harry murmured into my ear as our friends chatted and drank.
He pulled me aside as he led me into the empty corner.
"Harry, we can't leave the others by themselves" I laughed.
"I wanted to give you your gift in private" His cheeks indented as his dimples showed.
"You didn't need to get me anything"
"It's nothing big. I promise" He reached into the pockets of his jacket and pulled out a box.
I carefully tore open the box and a silver key laid in the middle of the box.
"A key" I whispered as my finger grazed it lightly. It was a key to his house.
"Yeah, you know, so you can come over whenever you like" He fumbled with his words.
"Its okay if you think it's a big step towards our relationship. I can take it back, no big deal" He continued when I stayed silent.
"I mean, it if-" I cut him off by placing my red lips to his.
"I love it" I peered up at his green as that locked with mine. I smiled as his red were slightly red due to my red lipstick.
"It's a wonderful present" As he kept quiet.
"That's not the only thing you should be expecting tonight" His left eyelid dropped into a wink. he turned around and left me standing there blushing like an idiot
END OF FLASHBACK
I grinned at the memory as my back hit the comfort of Harry's bed. Harry hovered over me and placed his lips to mine.
I pushed him off of me and confusion was found in his eyes.
"Go shower! I can't stand the smell" I exaggerated.
"You could always join" He sent a wink.
"In your dreams, Styles."
"Oh, I dream about a lot more than that, baby" He said before disappearing into the bathroom.
**
"Baby" Harry's voice rang through the room
"Hmm" I waited for him to continue.
"Louis invited us over tomorrow for a Valentines Day party. I forgot to mention it early." I checked the date and today indeed was the 13th meaning tomorrow was Valentines Day.
"Sounds good" I grinned as he jumped into bed next to me shutting the lights off.

Harry's POV:
My alarm clock vibrated as I quickly turned it off before Ariel woke up. Though it was comfortable cuddling with Ariel, I forced myself to get out of bed.
I brushed my teeth and put on clothing before walking downstairs into the kitchen.
Without making a sound, I took out the baking needs. I took out the heart shaped cutters and began working on my task.
Ariel's POV:
I groaned as my hands patted the space next to me trying to find the familiar feeling of warmth but was disappointed when not found.
My eyes slowly fluttered open and I looked to my right and groaned when Harry wasn't laying there with his arms wrapped around my waist. I muttered colorful words and threw the covers of my body. I lazily walked into the bathroom and freshened up. I threw my hair into a bun on the top of my hair before walking downstairs to find Harry.
I stopped dead in my tracks at the bottom of the stairs as flower pedals came into my sight. I followed the pedals which led to the dining room.
A small gasp left my mouth at the sight as Harry stood grinning. The curtains in the house were closed and a candle illuminated the dark room. A plate of heart shaped pancakes sat on the table as strawberry milk was filled in the glass.
"Happy Valentines Day, baby" Harry gave me a peck on the lips after I returned the gesture.
"Still romantic, I see" I giggled as he lightly kissed my cheek.
"I'm always romantic" He smirked before pulling my chair out waiting for me to slid in.
"And a gentlemen" I rose my eyebrows as he chuckled.
"Oh! I have a Valentine's Day gift for you!" Harry suddenly said after we finished eating breakfast.
He scurried away to who knows where and came back with a huge teddy bear, a box of chocolates, and a red box.
"Here, open this" He handed me the red box and I slowly lift the lid and I gaped at the diamond that was resting in the cushioned box.
"Harry, it's beautiful!" I screeched before sitting on his lap, cupping his face, and pressing my lips to his.
"You do?" I vigorously nodded my head.
"I was going to get one with a bigger diamond, but it was last minute" He stated.
"It's perfect, just the way it is"
