I thought I was wrapped in Harry's arms but I realize that it is just a blanket. I hear him whispering in my ears.

"I have to go to work, Lou. I just wanted to wake you up so you know that I have to go."

I nod as he gives me a gentle kiss and leaves me alone in my bedroom. A scene from last night comes to my mind and I blush, trying to fall asleep again. But I can't. So I get out of bed and start my morning with a cup of coffee. And then, I text Harry and invite him over again for tonight. He immediately replies and says that he would love to come but it is one of his friends' birthday and he has to go to the birthday party. I am about to answer his text when he calls me. 

"Would you come to that party with me?" he begins.

"Haz, aren't we going too fast? I mean last night and now this..."

"Noo, I want you to meet my friends. They are going to love you."

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"I am a hundred percent sure," he says so I promise him that I will go to the party with him and we say goodbye.

I eat my breakfast and look through some job advertisements on the internet because I really need to find a new job. I spend my day at home, watching TV, cooking and not taking a single sip of alcohol. 

I get ready before Harry arrives. We get in his car and he starts telling me some old, funny stories about his friends that make me laugh really hard. 

We walk into the party holding hands and it makes me feel happy and confident somehow. Harry introduces me to some of his friends and he didn't lie, they are really nice. I meet Luke, Ashton, Calum and Sarah, the birthday girl. We give her our present, a pretty vase and the girl starts jumping up and down and she hugs Harry. I feel something weird in my chest as I look at the two of them. Calm down, Louis, they are just friends, stop overthinking, I tell myself. There is nothing to be jealous of. Right? I hate this unfamiliar feeling so I let go of my toxic thoughts and continue the night with Haz by my side.

We dance and eat all night because the birthday cake is delicious and of course, it was made by Harry's company. 

We leave the party at around midnight and Harry takes me home. We get out of the car and stop on the stairs in front of the door. I put my arms around his neck as he grabs my waist.

"I had so much fun tonight," I say and I look into Harry's eyes.

"You did?" he smiles.

"Yeah, totally," I whisper in his ears slowly. 

"Me too, Louis," he says and gives my a goodbye kiss.

I hug him tightly so I can smell his cologne and I kiss his cheek before he gets in his car.

"Good night, Haz," I say.

"Good night, darling," Harry replies and drives away.

I open my door with a wide smile on my face that seems to stay there forever. I put on my pajamas and go to bed. I sniff at the pillows that still smell like Harry and I close my eyes, still smiling and knowing that I am the most beautiful man's darling.
