Two Christmases agoIt was early Christmas morning and the weather was so chilly, thanks to their heater around the house. Harry had his arms around Taylor's waist and his head was snuggling into her neck. They both slept wearing onesies that they bought two days ago.
They were so in love. Nothing could actually break them that time. Taylor finally got this feeling where she knows that this is right, it finally feels so right with him. She felt secure with him. She felt loved and needed. Harry felt the same too but he was more into 'how can I make her stay?' Or 'how can I not make the same mistake?' He worried too much, but Taylor always told him to never worry because he's all Taylor got left, because her parents died together in a car accident not so long time ago.
Harry suddenly woke up and realized that it was Christmas day. So, he went downstair and prepared the two of them breakfast before Taylor could wake. He walked slowly, without any sound to make sure his love is still on the bed, sleeping tight.
"Merry Christmas, babygirl." He got back on their bed, to kiss her on the cheek but decided to kiss her on the neck instead and Taylor could feel his warm breath sending excitement over her body. She opened her eyes and saw the curly haired boy looking straight into her eyes with so much love and care.
"Merry Christmas, love." She kissed him on the cheek, gaining a cheeky grin from him.
"Let's open some presents, shall we?"
"We shall."
Harry got up from the bed and without any warning, Taylor was being carried by her love and released an excited scream. He carried her downstair and lay her down on their sofa, next to the Christmas tree.
"You should stop carrying me that way, I have legs." Taylor smiled, secretly loving how her boyfriend are always full of surprises.
"Don't hide that you love it." His face and body was only inches apart from her and she could feel his breath that smelled like mint. He must have brushed his teeth, she thought.
She only shook her head, not wanting to scare him off by her morning breath.
"I don't believe it." He leaned in and kissed her.
She still felt butterflies in her stomach no matter how many years they have been through. She loved him a lot. And she thanked God everyday that he loved her too.
His lips lingered on hers, making her smile. Then he pulled away and did the same thing.
"Okay, lets open the presents!" She said, excitedly, happily, and other happy words.
Harry gave Taylor a paper plane necklace, the one she still keeps and sometimes wear. It was not much, but it meant a lot for Harry so he got her that so they can match. He also gave her make up products and some stuff from Victoria's Secrets. While Taylor gave Harry a new string guitar. She remembered that he always wanted a guitar so he could learn so she got him one. Thats not all, she gave him a fedora hat. She said that it would look good on him like everything does.
They both were happy with the presents they got from each other. In the end, its not about price or how big it is, its about their attention towards us.
After they opened their present, they ate the breakfast Harry made. Taylor was actually quite impressed because its not usual Harry could make breakfast without asking for help or burning the food. They both ate pancakes with chocolate and strawberry ice cream on top with a bit of maple syrup. Nothing fancy, but they were happy.
They took a shower together and then got dressed in matching red sweaters that have lights on it. So every time they hug or touch a certain part, it would light up. Harry was the one who suggested buying that and somehow Taylor agreed.
"What do you wanna watch, babe?" Harry asked, standing in front of the tv while having both hands on his hip that made Taylor laughed instead of answering.
"What?" Harry smiled, confusedly which made Taylor laughed harder.
"Nothing, lets just watch Love Actually like we always do." She answered, trying to hold the laughter back.
"Alright, princess." He took out a pile of dvds they both have and search for it. Then, he put it inside the dvd player.
He jumped to the couch, next to Taylor. She put her head on his chest and her arms on his waist. He put his arms around Taylor's shoulder and gave Taylor a kiss on her forehead.
This is actually mine, Harry thought.
This feels so right, Taylor thought.
"Taylor, I love you." He blurted out. He meant it. He loved her since forever.
"I love you too." She kissed his soft pink lips and that was how they started making out while the movie was starting.
A few years ago, Taylor couldn't imagine living with this beautiful creature because he was not nice to her. He was the bad guy and she was the nice girl. But somehow, Harry asked for her number and Taylor gave it a shot. Now they ended up like this.
