Still the One

Harry's POV:

I took her into the caretakers room so no one would see us. This conversation needs to be private. Even though there were lots of mops and other cleaning equipment, it was quite a nice, spacious room.

"Charlotte, I need to tell you something. I need to tell you something that's been eating me up since I met you. You need to know the truth. I need it off my chest, I need to tell you." I started rambling; I ramble when I'm nervous, and I have enough reason to be a little apprehensive.

"Go on then..." Charlotte said. I can do this, just come straight out there and say it.

"I like you." There, done.

"You what?" She looked surprised, as if she thought someone like me could never like her.

"I like you. I like how you're so different to everyone else - everyone else chases me around, but you, you run away like your scared of the connection we have. I feel it, so you have to too, and don't even bother denying it. I like how you're so natural, how your hair perfectly frames your beautiful face, and how, if you look close enough, you have cute little freckles scattered across your cheeks. I like how you're real, you don't pretend to be someone you're not for popularity. I'm falling for you, even tough I didn't want to." I may have gone a bit overboard there, but I need to show her I'm serious and that I really do care for her.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. Why would you question it?"

"Because that's what I was going to say to you, I was going to tell you how I like you, and I regret running away and then not kissing you. I was going to tell you how I'm falling for you, but not the you everyone knows. I'm falling for the sweet, sensitive, gentle boy who you really are. I was going to tell you how you'd just about stole my heart." She answered, gradually getting closer to me so by the end we were nose to nose, like we were in the art room earlier. "And I'm not running away this time." She announced just as she placed her plump lips on mine, proving the connection was still there.

"I want you to be mine Charlotte, so will you please be my girlfriend?"
