Stephanie's POV

I look at Harry in complete shock. Did he really just ask me that? Moving in with him would be such a big step - I feel worry build up inside of me.

"Steph.." He looks at me with worried eyes - I force a smile and coughs to clear my throat. I'm so speechless.

"Uhm.." I start and I look away as I straighten my position. "Are you sure that's what you want?" I watch him look away from me and he nods. His eyes suddenly spring back onto mine.

"More than anything." His answer sets butterflies off in my stomach - I haven't felt like this in years. All those feelings he once gave me before have started to come back to life. The nerves begin to kick in as I smile more naturally.

"If you think this will be good for us and not too much pressure, then okay."

"We can take it slow." He grins and leans forward to kiss my cheek. "I know we are ready for this Stephanie. I feel it." He adds as he pecks my lips gently.

"And Amelia?" I whisper as his face is inches way from mine.

"We'll tell her the truth. If you're sure you're happy to do-"

"Yes" I cut him off happily as I kiss him. "To new beginnings?" I suggest and he nods.

"Of course." He kisses me back and I smile as I close my eyes. His lips feel perfect on mine - I'm glad I've got him back. The dreams I have had about this moment. I've waited so long. "Let's get you some dinner." He smirks as he stands up and holds his hand out towards me.

"Fish and chips." I grin and he laughs whilst nodding along to my idea. Walking hand in hand with him wakes me up, my life has been empty without Harry and as been hard. All the time that I spent away from him made me want him more and more. He's too beautiful to lose and I know that we're destined to be together. He's good for me. Since our early childhood days we clicked straight away - didn't know love then but I'm pretty sure we felt it. He is the only one for me. Having him move away broke me in many ways, but then I met Amy. She took my mind off Harry and before I knew it he became a distant memory. It's sad that I lost him physically and mentally.

Amy and I grew a friendship that was so loveable. I would have done anything for her, she deserved every bit of my friendship and I wanted her to know how loyal I was. I sort of gripped hold of her because I had someone like Harry who left and he played a big part in my life. Amy was the perfect replacement. She was outgoing, confident, beautiful and funny. Until the day she tried to take Harry away from me. My heart sank but it didn't hurt me as much as I thought. Later in life did I realise life would really hit me with harder things to deal with. Amy didn't understand that Harry and I weren't just two people falling in love - we were soul mates. He was brought back to me. The sweet boy I knew came back as a bad boy who I didn't like. Only in time did I realise that the sweet little boy was still inside and now he's grown into a wonderful gentleman.

"What are you thinking?" Harry asks as he squeezes my hand.

"Just.." I don't know what to say as I don't want to being the past up - I enjoy reliving it in my mind. "You and me."

"Our journey?" He asks and I nod. "You know with all the shit we've been through, it proves that we are meant to be Stephanie and I just can't stop loving you."

"I'm lucky you have given me this chance Harry. At one point I thought I had really lost you.." I sigh as I hate that empty feeling I get when I think into this.

"That won't happen." He smiles and I do too. "You didn't give up on me all those times I was difficult. So I shouldn't have given up on you-"

"You didn't. "

"Yes, I did." He looks disappointed. I stop walking and pull him closer to me. "I should have known this weren't right, back then when you covered everything up." He shakes his head in annoyance.

"We've talked about this. What's done is done. Let's no dwell on the past. Let's create a beautiful future for all three of us." I smile at my own words as I like the sound of it.

"You're right!" He laughs nervously and I squeeze his hand. "How do you think our families will take it?" He asks as we start to walk again.

"Happy? Nervous?" I suggest and he nods. "My parents will be glad you're back in my life and that I have my family with me." I add and he looks at me. "What about your Mum?"

"She will be anxious, but she'll be pleased too. They love you Steph." His answer sends shivers down my spine. "This is our chance to turn all of mistakes into positive learning points. No more lying, no more suffering in silence, no more pretending.." He sighs as pulls me into him and I wrap my arm around his waist as his drapes around my shoulders.

"I promise I'll do that." I answer and he kisses the top of my head as we reach the fish and chip shop. "Now I'm starving." I laugh as I can smell the greasy food.

"Come on." He grins and opens the door for us.

-

Our night out has been wonderful - more than I could have asked for. But as he drops me back home and creeps into Amelia's room to give her a kiss, he starts to say goodbye. Niall and Chloe settle down to watch a film as I walk to the front door with him.

"This evening has been amazing." I smile as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I know." He hugs me back and squeezes me a little. "I love you." He whispers into my ear. I smile as I whisper the same three words back.

"I'll see you tomorrow.." I say as we part, his beautiful face looks down to me. I adore his beauty so much, I love the way his beautiful soul shines through his eyes.

"See you in the morning. I'll pick you up around 9? I'm working at 11" He says and I nod. "You can chill at home." He winks and that word home sounds so perfect.

"Goodnight." I whisper as I lean towards him and give him one more kiss.

"Goodnight beautiful" He kisses me once more before heading off to his car. I wave as he gets in and starts to pull away from our drive. I close the door and smile to myself. What a night.

"Hey, you seem happy." Niall smiles as he shoves his hands into his pockets. I can't help but feel a little awkward with him - he's such a wonderful guy and I hate how I messed with his feelings. If I could take back my actions then I would. He deserves to be with a fun and loving girl who could treat him right and make him happy.

"I am." I reply happily. "Everything seems to be falling into place at long last" I let the smile fall off my face as I don't want to come across as I'm ignorant to his feelings - I know they still lay with him and they do with me too. But my heart shouts out to Harry - I can't ignore that.

"Good to hear.." He nods with the smile still on his face. "Are you guys serious now?" I want to be honest with him. I've learnt that brushing things under the carpet doesn't get me anywhere and I can't sugar coat everything - I'm not keen on being in this situation but Niall deserves to know my true feelings and how much I want Harry.

"Yes." I answer and I lower my voice. "I'm supposed to tell my family first but, he's asked me to move in with him." I look at Niall as he raises his eyebrows and slowly nods.

"Congratulations.." He doesn't look at me as he says this. I sigh quietly.

"Niall-"

"What's going on?" Chloe asks and I look past Niall to see her stood behind him. I go to speak but Niall quickly beats me to it.

"Steph is moving in with Harry. " Niall informs her and Chloe's wide eyes are full with delight. It hasn't been easy for her with me getting involved with Niall and admitting I'm still in love with Harry - She was stuck in the middle a couple of times. She now understands and Niall and I haven't been connected in that way for a long time.

"Are you serious?" Chloe asks and I grin happily as I confirm Niall's words. "Oh my god Steph! Well if you're happy then so am I!" She reaches forward and hugs me. I hug her back and look over her shoulder to see Niall turning away and walking back to the living room.
