HALF A HEART

Harry turned up the radio when “Suit and Tie” by Justin Timberlake came on. He tapped his hand on the steering wheel along with the beat of the song. “And as long as I got my suit and tie, ima leave it all on the floor tonight…” He sang… Goddamn his voice is like angels. I was zoning out at the thought of his gigs and how amazing him and the boys sound there.

“Earth to Annie. Hellooooo.” Harry was saying.

“Huh-wha?” I said and looked at him smiling at me.

“You’re a dork and I love it.” He chuckled turning his gaze back on the road.

“So where are you taking me?” I ask.

“You’ll see love.” He smiled at me again.

We drove for a few more minutes and we arrive in a deserted parking lot in front of a building that looked like it hadn’t been occupied for years. “What the hell Styles?” I chuckled.

He put the car in park, grabbed my hands and stared at me with his emerald eyes. I felt the corners of my mouth twitch into a smile I was trying to contain. “Okay so here’s the deal. I have various locations in mind for the day but you can’t ask any questions and you just have to go with it okay?”

“Okay.” I whispered and kissed him lightly. I rested my forehead and looked in his eyes again, “This isn’t the first place is it?”

He chuckled and gave me a quick kiss. “Hell no.” He put the car back in drive and started backing out of the parking lot.

We drove for about a half hour and pulled into what appeared to be a movie theater. He parked the car and looked at me. “Okay which movie do you want to see love?” He asked.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and stared into his emerald eyes, “Frozen of course.”

“I had a feeling you would say that.” He said and reached into his pocket and pulled out two tickets for Frozen.

I pulled his lips against mine and smiled against his mouth as he kissed me a few times. He leaned back and turned off his car. He took off his seatbelt, stepped out of the car, jogged around to my door, and opened my door for me. I took my seatbelt off and took his outstretched hand. As we walked into the building I took my hand out of his and wrapped my arm his and hugged it. He kissed the top of my head before opening the door to the building for me. We got popcorn, candy, and soda and took our seats. Throughout the entire movie he would stroke my thigh or twirl his fingers through my curls. Frozen was honestly one of the cutest films I had ever seen, though I wasn’t sure if it was just the movie that I thought was utterly adorable. Occasionally he would turn my face to his and give me a quick kiss. God he’s amazing. Every time he touches me in any way my heart flutters, my stomach erupts with butterflies, and chills run up and down my spine. The movie ended and we walked back to his car.

“Where to next good sir?” I chuckled.

“Hey now. What was our deal? No asking questions!” He tapped his index finger on my nose before opening my door for me. I rolled my eyes playfully and sat down in his car.

We drove for what seemed like forever. We came up to a beach that was covered in snow and ice. It looked like a frozen desert with ice crystals encrusted in the snow. “I thought we could just go for a nice walk on the beach. I know it’s freezing out,” He stretched to reach in the backseat of his car, “Which is why I brought you these.” He put all of my winter clothing in my lap. “Trust me, you’ll love this.”

I stared down at the clothes that I swore were in my house this morning, “How did you do all this?”

“Well I’m not gonna tell you that. Where’s the fun in that?”

I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek before awkwardly slipping my snow pants on. He reached in the backseat and grabbed his own snow gear and started putting it on. I maneuvered my arms into my winter coat and slipped on my hat and gloves. I looked at Harry and gave him an innocent smile. “All set!”

He smiled a dimpled grin at me. He was wearing his beanie and damn I love him in that thing. He stepped out of his car and came around to open my door for me for the thousandth time since we’d met. I linked arms with him as we started to walk down toward the water. The snow crunched beneath our boots and the crystal-like snow twinkled in the sun like stars. I looked up at Harry and his emerald eyes looked more hazel in the light of the sun. Single strands of golden hair could be seen in his curls. He caught me staring at him and looked at me and smiled.

“What are you doing love?” He chuckled.

“Looking at you.” I smiled.

He stopped and turned me towards him. He embraced me in a hug and the warmth of our bodies meshed together. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let him hold me. “You’re everything to me Annie.” He whispered. He leaned away and looked at me, “You know that don’t you?”

I looked into his eyes and nodded. He cupped my face in his gloved hands and pulled my lips to his. His lips were dry and cracked as mine were I’m sure but I didn’t care. I let him make the kiss more passionate as he pulled me harder against him. He pulled away and searched my face with his emerald gaze.

“Are you ready for the next place love?”

“Of course.” I smiled.

We walked back to his car and pealed our winter clothes off. We chucked them in the back seat as Harry started the car and pulled out of the beach parking lot. We drove again for about twenty minutes and pulled into a parking lot near a fancy clothing store in down town London.

“Baby what are we doing here?” I asked.
“You really didn’t understand your end of the deal did you love?” He chuckled as he turned the car off. He opened my door for me and he steered me to the clothing store. The bell alerted the cashier of our arrival as we stepped through the doorway and the heated air warmed my cheeks. I looked around the store at the countless cocktail dresses and full length and short Christmas dresses.

I felt Harry squeeze my arm and his warm breath billowed around my ear, “Pick anyone you want love.”

I felt my eyes grow wide and stared at him, “Seriously?”

“Yes ma’am.”

I pointed to the endless racks of gorgeous dresses, “Anyone of them?”

He chuckled and nodded, “Yes ma’am.”

I bounced on my heels for a second and then threw my arms around his neck. Pressed my lips hard against his, “I have the best boyfriend EVER!” I said.

“Yeah I know.” He chuckled.

I kissed him once more before spinning on my heel and scanning the dresses. I grabbed several dresses in my size and disappeared behind a dressing room door. I ended up going with a dress that was all red lace. It was long sleeve and it was a low round-neck. It was skin tight to my hips and then draped down a little past my mid-thigh. It had a tool under layer so the skirt poofed out. I asked and employee to find me a pair of shoes that would match the dress and silently thanked myself for wearing black tights. The woman came back with a short closed toe heel that was the same red color as the dress and a single strip of the same color lace wrapped around the heel and became the toe portion of the shoe. I fluffed my natural curls with my fingers and made one last check in the mirror. I stepped out of the dressing room and saw Harry standing there in a black suit with a red tie that matched the dress I was wearing. He was holding a single red rose. He saw me and I saw his shoulders rise as he took in a deep breath. My heart fluttered from the fact that he liked what I chose and that he looked so incredibly handsome.

Harry’s POV

The curtain of Annie’s dress opened to reveal the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in my life. Her red lace dress flattered her curves and made her ocean eyes look even bluer. Her beautiful curls were more voluminous than when she had disappeared behind the curtain. My breath caught as she looked at me and her cheeks flushed pink. My God she was so beautiful. I was grateful that the employee at the store had rushed to me with a matching tie once Annie had decided on a dress.

I stepped toward her and she followed my lead. We reached each other and I handed her the rose. She took it and her cheeks flushed pink again and she smiled and looked down. I pressed my index finger to her chin and lifted her head to look into her eyes. Her ocean blue eyes darted around my face. I lead her mouth to mine with my finger on her chin still. I kissed her lightly. She smiled against my mouth and I pulled away.

“Ready for the last surprise love?” I whispered.

“There’s MORE?” Her eyes grew wide.

I kissed her forehead and took her hand. I paid the cashier for Annie’s dress and shoes, happy to spend that much money on my girl, but the night wasn’t over yet. I led her to my car and opened her door for her again. I drove us a few streets down to a really fancy restaurant. We walked into the building at sand down at a table near the fireplace.

After the waiter had asked us what beverages we wanted and had walked away she looked at me with huge eyes. “Harry.” She breathed.

“What love?”

“Today was insane. I haven’t enjoyed myself that much in a long time. Thank you baby.” She smiled.

“It was pure enjoyment for me Annie.”

“Will you tell me how you managed to plan this in the half hour that I got ready this morning?”

“I’ve been planning this for a couple weeks.”

Annie’s POV

“I’ve been planning this for a couple weeks.” Harry replied.

I felt my eyes grow wide. “You what?” Ughhh why is he so incredible?!

“Alright I’ll tell you how I did it. Every public place we went to already planned on us coming. I had already spoken to each of the people we spoke to directly today. Now I was planning on doing this on Christmas Eve so I called them all this morning and let them know that you would be out of the country so we’d have to do it today. They agreed willingly.”

I leaned back in my chair, “I don’t know what to say Harry. Just thank you so much.”

We ate dinner and my stomach was constantly exploding with butterflies. I was happier here in England than I had ever been in the States. I never wanted to leave. I couldn’t believe that I was leaving tomorrow for two weeks. I wouldn’t be able to stand not seeing his curly hair and emerald eyes everyday.
