Alayna’s POV:
“Hey, wait up!” I was about to ride my bike when Harry came running out of the store. “Let’s go home.” I rode my bike and was about to pedal off when Harry stopped me. “Let’s go somewhere first. C’mon follow me.” Harry pedaled off to the opposite direction.

“Wait!” I sighed and turned my bike around. “Where are we going?” He was leading the way; his hair flowed through the wind. “Watch out!” I swerved to my right and hit my brakes. “You okay?” Harry backed up his bike and stopped beside me.

“Yeah. I just didn’t notice the pole.” Harry laughed and pedaled off immediately. “We’re here!” We parked our bikes on the sidewalk near a park. “What are we doing here?” I walked behind him.

“Told you, trying to soak in the sun.” He grabbed my hand and dragged me to the park. “Hey!” He laid on the grass and laughed. “So is this your plan? To just lie down?” I sat beside him and stared at his face.

“Yeah. Isn’t it nice?” He met my stare and I was dumbstruck. “Is there something on my face?” I looked away and smiled. He pulled me down and I laid beside him. We just laid there in silence for almost half an hour; the silence was actually calming.

“C’mon, I have to show you something.” He stood up and helped me up as well. “What is it?” We jogged through half of the park and stopped at a bridge. “This. Isn’t it beautiful?” He pushed me to the middle of the bridge and made me face the gorgeous view it has to offer.

“I’ve got to hand it to you. This is breathtaking.” He stood beside me. “But not as breathtaking as you.” I thought to myself. “I told you if there’s something on my face, just say so.” I looked away and cleared my throat.

“Hey, remember I still have eight questions left?” I looked at him confused. “You know, the ten questions game we did in London.” I nodded as a response. “You still remember that?” He nodded then looked away.

“Can I ask you a question then?” He was still looking at the beautiful landscape. “I guess.” I rested my arms on the rails and breathed in the fresh air. “Can you promise me to never stop smiling?”

“Huh?” He turned his head to face me. “Please?” He took both of my hands and looked straight into my eyes. “Just promise.”

Harry’s POV:
“I can’t. I’m sorry. It’ll hurt my cheeks, you know.” She tried to smile then pulled away. “I’m serious. You know what I mean.” She walked back to the direction of our bikes. “Why are you going back already?” I ran after her but she didn’t turn her back.

“The sun’s going down. We need to go back.” I sighed and ran faster. “Wait, you didn’t answer my question.” I grabbed her arm and she finally spun around. “I can’t make a promise I know I can’t hold.” She pulled her arm from my grip and continued walking. We finally reached our bikes and she rode hers immediately.

“Wait, I have something to give to you.” I took the flowers that were in the bike’s basket and handed it to her. “What’s this?” She looked at it but didn’t even move to take it. “It’s for you. Take it and read the card.” She looked at me then the flowers and finally after a few stares, she took the flowers.

“Isn’t this for Jade?” I looked down and sighed. “You just said so yourself, she’s not a pink person.” She took the card out and read it. “What does this mean?” She gave me a very confused look.

“It means that I’m done pretending that I don’t have any feelings for you. I am done hiding! No matter where I go, it’s you I see and it kills me to see you hurting so much every single day. I’m done just sitting around and watch another guy take care of you. I want to be there for you, if you just let me in your world.”

“But how about Jade?” She broke her stare and looked down. “I’m also done pretending that our relationship is still fixable. Please, don’t ever think that you’re my second choice ‘cause ever since I met you, my heart has been shouting your and only your name.”

I cupped her face and leaned closer. My heart pounded faster and faster as our lips were closer and closer. The beating of my heart then stopped when our lips met. Her lips were soft and everything felt perfect. All my feelings jumbled up and I felt weak on the knees. “Now can you promise me?”
