Your P.O.V.
Then next morning you all showered, got dressed, ate, loaded all the presents into the car, and headed to Harry's flat where you all would exchange presents and celebrate together.
Once you reached Harry's flat you were greeted by Louis, Liam, and Harry who also helped lug in all the presents. You had to be careful because all the freshly fallen snow and slippery ice you could bust at any moment and humiliate yourself. Luckily, you didn't.
You walk through the door to be slapped in the face by the warm scents of gingerbread, cinnamon, and vanilla. You see the kitchen counter is completely covered in food and a large variety of drinks. You follow the boys to the big, beautifully decorated tree in Harry's living room. The flat is crowded by all the parents and siblings, but you don't mind because everyone was very friendly and fun to be around. You were very nervous because you were the only non-Brit there so you stuck close to Perrie most of the time.
No one asked about Niall so you assume the boys told their parents not to bring him up.
You have an unforgettable time celebrating with the boys, Dani, Perrie, Eleanor, and their families. You all ate in the dining room and then the parents and everyone exchanged presents. Louis, Liam, Harry, and Zayn entertained everyone by singing Christmas songs while acting like the goobers that they are. When the families left you, Zayn, Perrie, Liam, Danielle, Louis, Eleanor, and Harry all exchanged presents.
For the boys: you gave Zayn a new pair of Beats by Dr. Dre, Liam a huge inflatable dinosaur, Louis a boggan sled, and Harry a vintage turntable.
For the girls: you gave Eleanor animal print shot shooters, Danielle a giant bouncy ball (one you can sit on and bounce around), and Perrie a flyer sled.
You were having a great time and really enjoying yourself, but you couldn't help but miss Niall. His loud voice and explosive laugh always made everything seem perfect. You also kept subconsciously flashing back to the other morning when you found Niall in bed with some other girl.
After, what felt like a few daydreams, you open your eyes and realize you're lying on Harry's couch with a blanket over you. You don't hear anyone talking so you look around to find no one. Very sleepily you get up and wander into the kitchen. Harry's standing over the sink washing a few dishes when he looks up to see you. He smiles a very warm and sweet smile and says,
"Well hello, there! You fell asleep in the middle of the gift exchange, but you looked so peaceful none of us had the heart to wake you up."
"So everyone's gone?" you ask.
"Everyone, but you."
"Aww. I didn't get to tell them bye." you said in disappointment.
"Oh don't worry. They all gave you a kiss on the top of your head before they left." Harry said with his beautiful smile.
You smiled back thinking about what sweet friends you have.
"Need any help, Harry?"
"Nah. I'm gonna take a break so we can hang out."
"Oh okay!"
"Besides, you fell asleep before I could give you my present!.. I love my gift from you, by the way. But you shouldn't have spent so much!" said Harry as he dried his hands and retrieved your gift.
"It's fine! It really wasn't as expensive as most turntables so it's all good!" You say following him into the living room and sitting on the couch.
"Good! Now, here's your present." Harry said as he handed you your gift and sitting down next to you.
You open the gift to find a piece of paper rolled up. You look at it in confusion and undo the ribbon tied around it. You unroll the paper and see it's a certitficate. Harry bought a star and named it after you.
"Harry! That's so sweet!!" You say. You can't believe how cool of a gift this is.
"Thank you!!!' You exclaim as you hug his neck.
"How did you come up with this as a gift??"
When you pull out of the hug, still smiling, and read over the certificate again you can see from your peripheal vision Harry staring at you. After a few seconds he says,
"Well, like a star, you continue to shine even when things are dark and a true beauty to behold."
You pause and look at Harry, who instantly leans in and lightly kisses you.
He pulls back almost immediately and lingers, as if waiting for your approval or rejection.
You ultimately kiss him and when he licks your bottom lip, requesting permission to enter your mouth, you pull out of the kiss, smile, and say
"How about we try out your new turntable?"
Harry smirks, looks into your eyes, and says,
"Alright." Then gives you another quick kiss before getting up to plug in his new turntable.
