*Still Harry's POV*

We say our goodbyes to everyone at the club, I walk out with a drunk Kiara by my side. She giggles at almost everything she lays her eyes on which makes me laugh at her tipsiness.

"I'm gonna get a tattoo" she says out of the blue.

"This is definitely the wine talking." I laugh.

"No, I really want to get one. Maybe a butterfly? Or a flower? Or how about a rose? Or my name, like my full name like on my arm..." She rambles and I shake my head because it's obvious that the wine is saying all that. Kiara never talks about tattoos. Maybe mine but not about getting one for herself. "What? You think I can't handle the pain?" She questions.

"No, I just can't picture you with a tattoo" I admit and she smiles cheekily.

"Well, picture me now," she says. "I am getting a tattoo, Harry." She says like she is sure. I shrug my shoulders. "Did you enjoy your birthday?" She asks me moments later.

"Yeah. I'm exhausted now but it was an eventful day" I give her a smile and she returns it and leans closer to me, resting her head on my shoulder.

"I enjoyed it too" she mumbles and after a moment I hear her intake and outtake of breaths. She's asleep. I smile gently, lift her and lay her on my lap so she is more comfortable to sleep all the way until we get home.

The first thing after laying Kiara down on her bed and putting the comforter over her small body and shutting off the lights closing the door, I walk to my room and quickly change into a pair of cotton shorts and a t-shirt and grab my laptop and order two tickets to the famous amusement park. I want her to have fun there knowing that she never got to go to these kinds of places all her life. I want her to experience all these things. With me. Travelling around the world with me or just visiting places.

I then call one of the stables in London, the place I used to take riding lessons from when I was a kid and tell them to keep 'my' horse, Max free tomorrow for both of us to take a ride.

I then plan to take her to a countryside street and lastly to her surprise is to buy her a puppy. I just hope all these things go well because unlike her, I never put in the effort to take time out and plan what to do for her birthday like she did for me. I wish I did though.

I shut my laptop off and grab my phone to set an alarm for 4:45 am to get up to buy her cake from the closeby bakery that opens at 5.

Just as I hit the bed, my tired eyes shut and I instantly fall asleep.

-

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring-

I get up with a tired yawn but push the covers to the side and sprint to the washroom to splash water on my face to get rid of the sleepiness in my eyes. When it works, I quickly change into a pair of proper clothes and grab my wallet, phone and car keys and rush downstairs to where my car is and drive to the closest bakery.

"This one. How much?"

"Nine pounds." I nod, and pay the lady and tell her to keep the change and rush out of the bakery. I carefully place the box on the passenger seat and hop onto my seat and drive at a reasonable speed back home.

I get out of the car, get the box and slowly walk inside. The time is 5:30 and it's still dark. I stroll across the halls and up the stairs to my room and sigh in relief when I make it without any unexpected surprises. But when I turn the door knob to my room, it already opens.

Shit.

Kiara is standing there, still in that dress rubbing her eyes. Her hair is messy but she doesn't look like a madwoman. She just looks tired and sleepy but still manages to look beautiful.
