As You Are // H.S

Thirty One.

Double update :) (kind of)

Harry Styles.

"Wake up, baby." Alexis whispered in my ear, it was early, I knew that much, she was always awake early.

"No." I grumbled.

"It's your birthday you have to!" She exclaimed, I shot my eyes open, completely forgetting about that. Or the fact that Alexis was going to meet my family today, I suddenly tensed.

"You're meeting my family." I told her, she nodded with a smile, clearly happy to be doing so.

"I'm excited."

"Why would you be excited?" I scoffed, "they're kind of nuts." I sat up. She pushed my shoulder with her hand, giggling at what I knew was my morning voice.

"I'm still excited, anyway get up. I have things for you." I hesitantly threw the blanket off of my lap and grabbed her outstretched hand as she lead me out to the kitchen.

"I made this for you." On the bench was a plate of cinnamon toast (my favourite), a two plates of bacon and eggs on toast for the both of us and coffee. I turned around and smile down at her, gripping her shoulders and planting a sloppy kiss right on the mouth.

"Thank you baby!" I shouted excitedly, jumping into the stool and digging in, sipping my coffee as I did so.

"Slow down tiger." Alexis teased, she was halfway through her first piece of toast, I was almost finished my second.

"What? I like cinnamon toast." I mumbled through a mouth full, she rolled her eyes and grinned.

"You're lucky it's your birthday." I smiled through my mouth full, as we continued to eat this delicious breakfast Alexis had made.

Once we were finished, she lead me to the bedroom and had me sit on the bed, "ooh, kinky." I teased, Alexis shooting me a warning look.

"Shut up, you. Do you not want your presents?" My head shot up and I looked he in the eye.

"Presents?" I asked, sticking out my bottom lip for good measure.

"You're 22, not 12 baby." She laughed, handing me a rather large box. I raised an eyebrow at her but she only gestures for me to open it.

I took the lid off, looking inside to find an abundance of things. Numerous new button up shirts, records and CDs from my favourite bands, new head wraps, beanies, and a silver bracelet with nothing engraved yet.

"Why is it blank?" I questioned, she shrugged.

"When you find something special enough to engrave into it, then you can." She smiled, I kissed her.

"Thank you for all of this baby, really, it means a lot. But I'm going to get ready now." I placed the box to the side and got up walking to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready.

Two hours later, Alexis and I were sitting in the living room watching some cartoon as my request, waiting for my family. I was wearing a new button up, my plain bracelet from Alexis, my usual skinny jeans and some converse. As Alexis was in ripped boyfriend jeans, a oversized sweater and Doc Martens. I loved her style, she was too cute.

A knocking at my door pulled me from my thoughts and I nervously bit my lip, it wasn't like I hated my family, the complete opposite actually, I knew they'd love Alexis but they're loud and embarrass me. It's their favourite thing to do, mainly Gemma and mum.
