Christmas 2014
Part One

Harper

I woke up to the sound of pans crashing, followed by a distant 'fuck'.

I wiped the sleep from my eyes, squinting around the dimly lit room. I noticed the early sun peaking in through the curtains, illuminating the empty bed next to me.

I frowned, pushing the blanket off of me and sitting up in bed. I stretched and yawned before heading to the bathroom. I quickly peed and washed my face before slipping on my robe and slippers and leaving the bedroom.

I made my way to the kitchen, following the sounds of cooking and music.

I squinted at the bright light, seeing Harry's back as he moved around the kitchen cooking what looks like breakfast. He hadn't noticed me yet so I tiptoed over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head between his shoulders.

"Oh, Jesus Christ, you scared me." I laughed as I felt him flinch under my hold. He shuffled so that we backed away from the stove, pivoting in my arms to face me.

"Good morning." I smiled up at him, going on my tiptoes to give him a kiss.

"Mmm, merry christmas flower." He hummed into my lips, his hands circling around my waist and tugging me closer to him. I sighed and melted into him, my hands tangling into his long hair. Which, by the way, I cannot get enough of. The longer hair is a look.

"Merry Christmas." I whispered back. I pulled back, smiling up at him.

This definitely isn't our first Christmas together, but this is our first Christmas just the two of us.

Growing up I was either with my dad or with Harry and his family. But this year the boys had a short break before rehearsals for tour start up and we had an early Christmas with his family before flying home.

So today is just the two of us, which I don't mind. We get to be lazy in our pjs and do whatever we want.

Harry gave me another kiss before letting go and backing up.

"Why don't you go relax while I finish up breakfast?" I smiled with a nod, turning on my heel to go sit at the counter to watch him cook. Just as I turned to walk away he smacked my ass, causing me to turn around with a yelp.

"Hey!" When I looked at him he had an incorrect look on his face before turning back to the stove and focusing on his food with a smile.

I smiled to myself, shaking my head and going to sit on one of the stools.

I kept myself busy scrolling through my phone, responding to messages from Harry's family and the boys, wishing them all a merry christmas.

Once the food was ready Harry came over to sit with me, placing a full plate in front of me.

"Looks great babe, thank you." I leaned over and gave him a kiss before we both dug into our food.

We talked while we ate about anything and everything. How we think this next tour is going to go and what's gonna happen afterwards.

I'll be joining them again on this tour as a severely underpaid intern with Lou again. And as much as Harry bugs me about how I could get paid more, I honestly don't mind.

I get to travel the world with my best friend.

If I weren't with him I'd be sitting in his house for months doing nothing and seeing nobody. Plus, I also get to hangout with my other four best friends.
