Dark meets light | 1d

Birthday

Alex's POV

The light shining in from the window made my eyes burn and I had a pounding headache. . .great way to start off a birthday right?

I grab my phone off of my nightstand and check the time, 7:45. . .

I groan and throw myself back onto the bed placing a pillow over my face.

I heard my door squeak a little and some faint 'shh' noises. Great.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I hear everyone chorus from the end of my bed.

"Go away." I threw a pillow in there direction.

"Easy there birthday girl!" I hear Louis say.

''We have the perfect day planned for your birthday, Alex!" Emily says as she sits next to me.

"To get your mind off things." Niall added.

I sat up, "I already had something planned guys ugh. . .sorry." I lied.

"Oh. .like what?" Emily asked.

"Shopping?" It came out more like a question then a statement.

"We'll go with you!" Louis said clapping his hands once.

"Fun. . ." I huff, Emily stands and ushers the boys out of the room.

Just then I noticed Harry wasn't with them. . .how could I NOT notice that?

My phone buzzed besides me, a text from Zayn. I smiled and unlocked my phone.

Zayn: Happy Birthday Beautiful!!;)

How bout we go out 2night? Yeh?

Me: why I would love too:) lol

Zayn: amazing! I'll see you then gorgeous;) xx.

I placed my phone down and went to my bathroom to do the daily routine, Teeth brushed, hair done, make-up, done. Now it's time to chose what I would be wearing today.

I picked out a grey and white Beatles cropped T and a pair of white ripped skinny jeans with black TOMS and a black beanie. I checked myself out in the mirror, frowning at my appearance. . .

"You look beautiful." I husky voice says from behind, I jump in fear.

"What the hell Harry?? You scared the shit out of me!" You clutch your heart.

He chuckles, "Sorry, love didn't mean to."

"Why are you here?" I asked as I turned back to face the full lengthened mirror.

"I wanted to give you your birthday present." He whispers slowly from behind me.

He gently reached out to me pulling my hair off of my one shoulder, he placed delicate kisses to my shoulder, collar bone and neck sending shivers throughout my body. I closed my eyes at his touch and when I opened them again Harry's eyes were locked on mine through the mirror.

"Do you like it?" He asked with hopeful eyes.

"I-It's beautiful," I turned around placing my arms around Harry's neck and embracing him in a hug, "Thank you so much, Harry."

"It's no problem, it looks amazing on you." He whispered into my hair.

I turned back around to face the mirror again as I took the necklace between my fingers. It was a black bird, it was so beautiful. . .

"Now you know, I will always love you. . ." He gripped the top of his shirt gently tugging it down showing of his tattoo of two birds, "And I will always keep you close to my heart,"

***

"What are you thinking about?" Zayn chuckled.

"Hmm? Oh. . .its nothing, sorry." I blushed, All I could think about was Harry. . . He hurt me so much, yet all he wants to do is make up for it and love me.

"Where did you get that? It's pretty." Zayn said motioning to the necklace around my neck.

"Oh uh thanks," I gently grabbed the bird in my hand remembering how Harry placed it on me, "Harry got it for me." I spoke quietly.

"That's nice." Was all he said, the rest of the car ride was quiet.

***

"Stop laughing, Alex!" Zayn tried to control his laughter, but failed. "People are starting to stare!" He said between laughs.

"Sorry." I placed my hand over my mouth to contain my laughter.

You look beautiful tonight," Zayn randomly complimented.

Your eyes grew wide and you chuckled, "Uh thanks, your not so bad yourself."

"I mean it, Alex. . .your gorgeous." His voice was stern and he entwined our fingers.

My heart started racing as I looked down at our hands together, they fit perfectly. . .like they were made for each others.

"W-What are you doing?" I stuttered.

"What I have wanted to do since I first saw you," he slowly leaned closer to me, placing a hand on my knee but before our lips connected he squeezed my knee reassuringly, I nodded and let our a shaky breath.

Our lips grazed each others, "I love you, Alex." He whispered. My eye lashed fluttered, "I love you, Zayn. . ."

He smiled and placed his lips to yours gently, the kiss was full of lust and want. Yet it was so full of passion and love. It didn't feel wrong, it felt so right. . . I have never felt more happier then right now in this moment, I felt butterflies in my stomach and my cheeks were tingling, my heart felt like it was beating a hundred times a minute.

My hand traveled up to Zayn's hair and I fisted his perfect black hair in my fingers.

"Ahem," someone cleared there throat awkwardly. Me and Zayn pulled away immediately both our cheeks flushed red. "Here's your check." The older man handed Zayn the slip.

"Thanks." Zayn nodded awkwardly.

I snickered as the older man scoffed and walked away.

***

"IF YOU DONT WANNA TAKE IT SLOW! AND YOU JUST WANNA TAKE ME HOME! BABY SAY YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH AND LET ME KISS YOU!" Zayn sang loudly in the car.

"Shuuut uup!" I sighed laughing at the foolish boy sitting next to me.

"Come on, Alex you know you love this song!" Zayn teased poking your side.

"Stop it!" I laughed, "Drive, Malik."

When we pulled up to the drive way Zayn turned the car off but he didn't get out.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"What are we, Alex?" He questioned.

"What do you mean?"

"Are we together?"

"Zayn. . ."

"Alex, please."

"If this is how you ask girls to be your girlfriend. . ." I joked shrugging.

"Fine," he smirked, "Alexandria Radke will you do me the extraordinary honor in being my beautiful girlfriend?"

"Of course, I would love too." I kissed his cheek and got out of the car.

Tonight was by far, the best birthday EVER.
