Merry Christmas

"Harry? What are you doing here on Christmas eve I thought you-" I say to Harry whose standing at my doorstep, buy he cuts me off. "Georgie, you're my bestfriend! You dont think I would let you spend tonight by yourself while your boyfriend is at work.. Did you?" he tells me as snow falls on his coat. "well get inside then! It must be freezing." I say as he steps inside and hands me a box of pizza. As he handed me the pizza I started walking into the kitchen to put it down. Harry followed me and when he closed the door behind him he look up. "hey look.. A mistletoe" he said quietly and laughed to himself.

Harry and I sit down on the couch and I pull out a variety if movies "alrighty you know the drill" I say and put the DVDs on the floor in rows. Harry closes his eyes and puts his finger on a random movie then opens his eyes "ahhhh! YESS!" he shouts as he picks up the movie and wiggles it in my face. "aw I love 21 jump street! Changing Tatum is so hot gahhh!" I tell Harry. He has a confussed look on his face and replies "but... What about me? I'm hotter right?" I laugh and say "oh yes of course Harry! Well if you had rock hard abs.." and I wink "you're so mean to me I'm going to drown my tears in some ice cream!" harry walks into the kitchen, grabs a tub if ice cream, 2 spoons and the pizza while I set the movie up.

He jumps in the couch and pats on the cussion next to him suggesting me to sit next to him. I jump up and sit next to him and grab a spoon and we dig into the ice cream. "thank you.. Harry. Thank you for coming over tonight.." I whisper as I lay my head down softly on his chest. "Georgie you know I'm always here for you. Even when I'm on the other side of the world! If you ever need me you know I'm there for you ok?" he whispers back and kisses me lightly on my head. After the movie I get up to put the empty pizza box and ice cream tub away and relise Harry is fast asleep.

"well seeing as you're asleep and will never hear this and its Christmas eve I may as well tell you.. How I... How I feel. We've known each other for over 10 years and you've always had a special spot in my heart but I've always thought we should just stay friends. I dont know. Maybe I shouldn't say anything. This was stupid. I don't know how I feel about you, hell! I have a boyfriend? What am i doing? Never mind. Forget it, atleast you were asleep." I say as I wipe a tear that's rolling down my cold red cheek. I start washing up and next thing I know Harry is awake and helping me wash up. "so are you sure you don't want me to stay over tonight?" he asks. "yeah it's fine harry! James gets home at midnight so I won't be alone"

Harry grabs his back pack and heads to the door. "okay well have a merry Christmas. I'll see you tomorrow ok? I've got a present for you" he says excitedly as he hugs me and turns around then closes the door and walks out. I stand at the door wishing I had of told him how I felt. Then I hear a knock at the door. It's Harry "I forgot" he pulls me close and kiss me passionately. I pull away and he points to the roof where the mistletoe is. "really. You came back just because you walked last the mistletoe and didn't kiss anyone?" I ask. "no.. Actually. I um.. I.. I was never asleep. I heard it all." he gives me a smile that warms me up inside.
