Charlie's POV
I woke up the next morning to the faint sound of singing coming from the other room along with the smell of breakfast food, knowing right away that Harry had to have gotten breakfast for us. I smiled softly to myself as I thought about last night, feeling so relieved that he didn't run this time and he actually said he loved me first which I hoped meant he was as serious about this as I was. Last night was the moment I had been dreaming about for so long and now that it finally happened I felt so happy.
After laying in bed for a few minutes I decided to get up, finding his black dress shirt from last night and slipping it on before heading out to see what he was up to. The moment I saw him I nearly burst into giggles but managed to keep myself contained as I watched him dance around the table to the music playing on his phone while he got the table all set up for us. He shook his bum and did these weird moves which finally made me lose it as I let a giggle slip. He spun around and immediately blushed, smiling sheepishly as he stood there adorably.
"Oh, um... hi..." he said. "How long have you been there?"
"Long enough to know that you still can't dance." I teased with a smile as I walked over and wrapped my arms around his waist, feeling him do the same. "It was cute though."
He smiled and leaned down to place a soft kiss on my lips which I immediately returned. This all still seemed like a dream to me but even if it was I didn't want to wake up from it. We kissed for a long moment until we remembered the food and he pulled back.
"So um. I ordered a little bit of everything. I wasn't sure if you still liked the same things or not." He said as he turned to look at the food, keeping his arm around my waist.
"It looks great, Harry." I smile softly, kissing his cheek gently.
We sat down at the table together and he turned down the music so it wouldn't be completely silent as we ate at the small hotel table. There was a comfortable silence for a while, but after a moment I realized that he was just itching to ask me something so I finally stopped eating and looked at him.
"Just spit it out." I said.
"Willyougooutwithme?" He blurted so quickly that I could barely understand what he said.
"Will I what?" I asked in confusion.
He took a deep breath, seeming nervous which surprised me because he rarely got nervous.
"Will you um... Will you go out with me? Like.... on a date?" He asked slowly, his nerves obviously heard through his voice.
A smile broke onto my face as he said that, unable to help myself as I moved over onto his lap.
"I would love to go on a date with you, Harry. You don't have to be so nervous to ask me on a date." I laugh softly and kiss his cheek gently to help calm him.
"I know... its just... after all I did to you..." He started, but I cut him off by giving him a kiss on the lips.
"Don't... We're starting over now. I'll admit I will probably be a little clingy and scared of you leaving, but all I need from you is to be patient with me... because I don't think I can handle losing you a second time." I admitted quietly as I looked down at his swallow tattoos to avoid eye contact.
"I know... I will I promise. I'm not going anywhere." He said softly as he kissed my head and held me close. I cuddled into his chest for a long moment and nuzzled my face into his neck, feeling such relief as he said that but at the same time it wouldn't be the first time he broke a promise. "I understand that it's going to take a little while for you to completely trust me again and I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you."
I nodded slightly, not saying anything because I knew that I would probably get emotional if I did.
"Anyway, for the date you can dress comfortably. We're going to be doing something fun that involves a lot of standing and dancing around." He said with a smile. "And no, you're not getting any hints."
"I wasn't going to bother." I laughed softly and kissed his neck gently before turning back to my food. I pulled it over so I could stay on his lap as I ate and I even fed him a little as he constantly gave me kisses on the cheek or neck to make me smile. I couldn't even begin to explain how amazing it felt to finally be with him like this after dreaming about it for so long and I definitely didn't want it to end any time soon.
Harry's POV - Later that night
"Charlie, hurry up. We're going to be late." I called as I checked the time on my phone. I had planned this the moment I asked her to come with me to New York and I was glad it worked out because I had to pull a lot of strings to pull this off on such short notice.
"I'm coming. Calm down." She said as she stepped out of the bathroom looking as beautiful as ever even though she was just wearing skinny jeans, her black combat boots, a white tank top, and her black leather jacket over it. "Covering up love bites is a lot harder than it seems." She teased.
"Sorry." I chuckled and smirked, leaning down to give her a quick kiss. "Maybe you should stop enjoying them so much." I teased back as I tilted her head to the side to place a kiss just below her ear where I knew one of her sweet spots were.
A soft hum fell from her lips and I almost picked her up and carried her over to the bed right then, but I knew I had to control myself because she deserved a good night out. I had a lot to make up for and I wanted to show her that I truly wanted to be with her and it wasn't just about sex. Sure, while I was gone I had been with my fair share of women and only used them for fun but Charlie was different. While being in bed with her was absolutely incredible, I found myself wanting to see her smile and laugh instead of just sleeping with her.
"Come on. The car is waiting." I said softly as I grabbed her hand then led her down to the car. She followed close behind me, her fingers slipping between mine once we got settled into the car. It was such a simple action but the moment I felt her link her fingers with mine I felt butterflies in my stomach which was something I had never felt with any other girl before.
"So, I suppose I won't be finding out what we're doing until we get there?" She asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Nope. Actually I need you to put this on." I said as I held up a blindfold, seeing her eyebrow raise which made me chuckle. "No, it's not a kinky thing. Just trust me."
"Hmm... Too bad. It could have been fun." She smirked, catching me off guard as she took the blindfold and put it on herself.
I swallowed hard as her more confident side came out for a moment, sending yet another urge into my body to just take her back to the room but I pushed it away.
"You know two can play at that game Miss Gray." I warned in a lower voice as I slid my hand up her thigh a bit, seeing her shift in her seat slightly.
"I never expected it to be a solo game Mister Styles." She replied, bringing her lip between her teeth which drove me crazy. Since the driver was distracted I turned her chin so she was looking at me, gently pulling her lip from her teeth with my thumb before leaning in and placing my lips on hers. I felt her kiss back immediately and I slid my tongue into her mouth, hearing her hum softly in approval but that only made me want to tease her even more so I pulled away from her mouth to kiss down her neck. I gently nipped at her skin and found every spot that I had left a mark on her the night before, doing the same thing to each one. Unfortunately we arrived at our destination before I could mess with her too much but I was a little glad at the same time because I could feel myself getting carried away.
"Alright. Hold onto my hand. I'll help you out." I said to her as I stepped out then helped her slide out of the car, taking her towards the building where I spoke with security right away to let them know that I called them earlier. They led us backstage down the long hallway and I finally took the blindfold off once we got to the door which would take us to the surprise.
"What is this, Harry? Where are we?" She asked in confusion.
"You'll see." I smirked and knocked on the door, hearing a familiar voice tell us to come in. I opened the door and led her in, seeing her gasp once she realized where we were and who was in front of us.
"You... How.... What?" She stuttered, staring at the one and only Chris Martin in complete shock as I gave him a quick hug and said hello.
"I did the album art for their last album and gave Chris some art for his house. Chris, this is my girlfriend, Charlie." I said as I looked at her, seeing her look at me in surprise when I said girlfriend but I chose to have that conversation with her later.
"Ah, so this is the one you brought to our show a few years ago." Chris smiled, going over to give the shocked girl a hug. I could tell she was about to cry which made me smile, glad that I could make her so happy. I wished she would have been there with me the first time I met him, but I suppose I would settle for this instead.
"I literally don't know what to say right now." Charlie said as she wiped her eyes with a small laugh. "This is so embarrassing."
"Don't worry about it, love. Harry was much more embarrassing when I met him the first time. He barely spoke a word to me." Chris teased, causing me to roll my eyes playfully.
"It's not every day one of your musical idols calls you up asking you to make the art for his album." I said to him as I wrapped an arm around Charlie, gently rubbing her side to calm her down.
We stayed and chatted for a little while until the opening band ended and it was time for us to take our seats.
"Well I have to get going. It was great meeting you." Chris said as he gave Charlie another hug then took a picture with her since we both knew she wanted one.
"It was great meeting you, too." She smiled widely.
We said our goodbyes and I walked out with Charlie, following the security guard up to our private box seats to the left of the stage. I could tell she was still amazed by what was happening and she didn't really say anything until we got some drinks and sat down in the seats.
"I just met Chris Martin..." She said.
"You did." I smiled.
"I just met Chris freaking Martin!" She exclaimed with a laugh before suddenly pulling me into a deep kiss. My eyes widened a bit at the sudden action but I quickly relaxed and returned the kiss, pulling her body closer to mine until she finally pulled away. "Thank you. I don't know how you managed to pull this off but it was amazing."
"I'd pull off anything if it meant seeing you this happy" I said softly as I brushed some hair out of her face. She smiled softly and kissed me once more, but this time it was much softer and loving.
"I would love to be your girlfriend, by the way." She murmured against my lips with a smile.
"I was going to ask you after the show, but I figured it would be better just to introduce you as my girlfriend anyway. This is only our first date, but I feel like we can skip the part where normal couples get together after dating a while. I've waited too damn long for this and I don't want to wait." I said.
"Me either." She smiled softly, giving me one last kiss until her attention was focused on the show that started. My focus, however, was on her for most of the show. Seeing her singing along and truly enjoying herself made me so happy and I wanted nothing more than to see her like this every day of my life.
