Silence and Tears

32

Thankfully perrie woke up feeling better on Saturday and her headache was completely gone so she spent the day getting a treatment done at caitlins salon.

Tuesday rolled around pretty quickly after that and perrie woke up to alex bringing her breakfast in bed, "happy birthday gorgeous. I love you" he smiled placing the tray of food on the bed next to her, perrie turned her head and gave Alex a kiss "this looks delicious, thank you" she smiled. "Mum phoned last night after you'd gone to sleep, she said the tables booked for 7:30. That gives Caitlin enough time right?" Alex said, "it should do yeah, I'll let her know" perrie smiled. Whilst perrie was eating her breakfast alex walked over to his wardrobe and grabbed a bag that had his presents for perrie in, he waited until she'd finished eating before handing her the bag and her card. "I said you didn't need to get anything bubs" she said softly, "I know you did. And I said I was going to treat you didn't I? Just open them" alex laughed, perrie opened the first present which was a large fleece lined blanket "babe this is perfect" she smiled cuddling up to it. "I saw it and couldn't resist. I know how cold you get" Alex said. The next present was opened only a few seconds later and perries jaw dropped as soon as she saw what Alex had got her, "you didn't?" She said shocked, alex nodded "no way, you're the best" perrie smiled as she practically threw herself into Alex's arms, "thank you so much" she said happily, "you're welcome baby, I'm glad you like them" alex smiled. "Like them? I love them. I'll definitely be wearing these tonight" perrie said as she folded the Hatchi pyjamas back up and placed them down ready to unwrap the final present. This one was in a small box, perrie opened it to see a gold bracelet "al- this is too much I- I don't know what to say" she said tearing up a little bit, "thank you. I love you" she added. "I love you too" alex smiled. Perrie moved her stuff and placed it on her bedside table before moving herself over and cuddling into alex, "you're the best" she smiled, alex wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.

About half an hour later they both got dressed and made their way downstairs, alex had wanted to do something special for perries birthday, just him and her since they'd be spending the evening with their families. When perrie got downstairs alex had already packed a backpack to take with them, "you ready?" He asked, perrie nodded "can you give me a clue?" She smirked, "nope. It's a surprise" alex smiled. "You're bringing the dogs though so we must be staying outside" perrie laughed, "maybe, maybe not" alex said. He placed his hand on perries lower back and guided her out the door towards the car, alex let her get in whilst he put the rucksack in the boot of the car and let the dogs jump up onto the backseat. They were driving for about 20 minutes before alex parked the car up just outside the entrance to a wooded area.

Alex led the way through the small bit of the woods to a large area of open land on the top of a hill, "here we are" he smiled, "how did you know?" Perrie asked as she looked out at the view, "know what?" Alex said puzzled, "I used to come here when I was younger" perrie said, "I didn't know. I used to come here when I was younger as well, I just thought you'd like it here" alex laughed, "mam used to bring me and Jonnie here in the summer, she'd sit up here and watch us run around and roll down bits of the hill. Thank you for bringing me here again, I would never have remembered how to get here" perrie smiled wrapping her arms around alex, "not a problem my love. Mum and dad brought me and Christian up here a lot, we'd roll down the hill as well" alex said. "Anyway, I've brought us a picnic blanket if you'd rather sit down. And food as well, don't worry" he added, "oh babe, this is perfect" perrie gushed. The dogs were already running around with each other across the grass so.

Alex placed the blanket on the floor and opened the other prt of the bag up to get the food out, he'd only brought simple snacking foods because he knew that perrie would want to enjoy the meal that night without getting full too quickly. Alex sat down and was soon joined by perrie who sat as close to him as she possibly could and placed the side of her head on his shoulder, "you're the best you know" she smiled. Alex shook his head, "no babe, you are" he said, "nope, you are. You can't tell me different you just need to take the compliment" perrie smirked, "ok I'll take it then but you're also the best and you have to take that compliment" alex laughed, "if you insist" perrie giggled. They continued to chat whilst they are the food that Alex had brought, every so often the dogs would come back over and perrie or Alex would give them a treat each before they ran off again.
