Royal Pains *Princes*

"Okay..." Valerie agreed, "But this doesn't mean we're together."

Harry smiled, "yes ma'am."

"Now help me." Valerie teased and let him in.

After fifteen minutes of repacking Harry laughed, "God woman could you have packed any more clothes?!"

"Yes actually." She laughed, "And just think, you want to buy me more."

Harry smirked, "I am for sure buying you more. Now hurry!! We won't ever be able to dive if we don't hurry."

Finally all four were ready. They hopped onto a smaller boat and headed out to the wreck.

All 4 were skilled divers.

They got back onto the boat and started to dry off.

"That was great." Ellie smiled as she took off her gear.

Will nodded in agreeance. Then he asjed Harry what he plans were fir the day.

"I've convinced Valerie to let me take her shopping." Harry smiled.

Ellie smiled, "well, have fun."

"What are you two doing?" Harry asked.

Will shrugged, "sunbathing?"

A little while later

Harry and Valerie walked the little seaside coblestone streets of Marsielles. It was a beautiful afternoon. While Harry debated whether to reach for Valerie's hand or not, she window shopped, still unsure whether she really wanted Harry to pay for anything.

"Here you go..." William smiled as he joined Ellie on the deck and handed her a pina colada.

Harry finally took her had.

"Thanks love." She smiled.

"Let's go in." Harry smiled as he saw Valerie eying a gorgeous Channel dress.

*&*

"I'm really glad you came on this trip with me." He smiled.

"So, if I get to do this everyday then I'll marry you." She said jokingly.

Val nodded and they entered the shop.

"Done." Will winked.

Valerie tried on the cocktail dress. She came out of the dressing room to show Harry.

They sat in silence for a little while.

His jaw dropped.

Ellie thought to herself how nice it was that they were comfortable in silence.

*&*

"Is it okay?" Valerie asked, adjusting it a little.

Harry just nodded.

Valerie went to change. She sat in the dressing room for a moment, contemplating the situation she and Harry were in.

She really didn't know what to do.

"Everything okay, dear?" Harry called.

"Yeah..." Valerie opened the door, "Just deciding whether or not to get the dress."

"if you don't then I'm buying it."

Valerie just smiled and grabbed the dress.

Harry took it from her, "I got this one."
