The Opening Act (H.S) {Completed - Editing}

Cuddly Christmas

"Ava," I hear as a mumble in my ear. "Wake up. I've made breakfast. Also we've got to get my parents and sister from the airport in an hour, so we should probably get up and start to work towards presentable."

I laugh lightly into my pillow as I open my eyes. Harry's hovering over me, leaning on one arm while he's got the other around my waist. I wrap my arms around his shoulders, bringing him down closer so I can give him a kiss. "Merry christmas, H."

"And merry christmas to you, Miss Ava. I love you."

"I love you too," I smile and peck his lips. "Remember last year when I was calling you crying and you and the guys got me a lame christmas sweater? Oh how things have changed."

"Yeah," he nods, a smile coming over his face. "Now I can make out with you. That's about all that's changed, though."

I roll my eyes and shove him off of me. He laughs, kissing my cheek as he gets up from the bed. I get up myself, changing into my sweater from the boys last year and putting some shorts on. I eventually follow Harry down the stairs, my hand in his.

As we're walking to the kitchen, I hear a small little bark. I stop immediately, my head whipping in the direction of the sound. There's a small puppy staring me down, it's tail wagging quickly out of excitement.

"Oh my god. You did not."

"Oh, almost forgot to introduce you!" Harry smiles, acting like this wasn't the biggest deal ever. "Ava, this is Charming. Also known as Charm. The newest addition to our little Ohana."

I watch as Harry kneels down and the small pup runs over to him and jumps up into his lap. Harry then stands, holding the small guy in his arms. I wanted to cry.

"Harry..." yep, I'm going to cry. "Did you really get us a puppy?"

I take the small pup into my arms and he licks my face. I've always, always wanted a dog, but they were never allowed in our building.

"I did. Oh, and I should also mention that I invited all of your family members over for breakfast. They're in the kitchen. It's strangely quiet in there, I kinda feel like we might need to check on them. I hope my kitchen isn't on fire."

I set Charm down on the ground and he happily runs over to a little stuffed toy by the couch. He picks it up, taking it into the kitchen. I go over to Harry, wrapping my arms around his torso.

"This is gonna be the greatest Christmas ever, I can already tell," I smile. "Thank you a billion times. I can't believe how lucky I am to have you."

Harry pushes me back slightly and reaches down to give me a kiss. I am actually the happiest person alive right now.

"Dude," I hear a groan and back up to see John standing in the doorway of the kitchen. "Would you two stop doing that?! God, its almost as bad as my parents kissing."

I run over to him and give him a massive bear hug. He nearly falls back but catches himself, well... us, I guess. Charm runs through our feet, which is the thing that separates me from him. I head into the kitchen, giving Raina and my aunt and uncle hugs too. I hug my mom, even though I just saw her a few days ago. Lastly I hug my dad, who holds me the longest. This is our first Christmas together in a really, really long time. Not only my dad and I, but all of us. It felt like everything was complete, him being home and with us on christmas. And having Harry here was okay too, I guess (I'm lying it's the greatest thing ever and I'm on cloud nine).
