Chapter 22:

HARRY

"Ow!" I whined as I burnt my tongue on the hot chocolate. Louis laughed at me and said "I told you to be careful, love." I nodded, showing him that I knew that he said that. The chocolate just smelled so good, and it was hard to wait for it to cool a bit.

Everything was absolutely perfect right now. Louis and I basically spent the whole day out in the snow. I was so cold when we came inside. Everyone else was already in their rooms, probably going to bed, and Louis decided to make us hot chocolate to get warm. We also grabbed piles of blankets and just snuggled together on the couch in front of the small fire place they have. I felt so loved and so so warm.

"Right. I've got that now." I said as I pressed my hand to my mouth, feeling the numbness of my tongue now. I hated the way you couldn't taste things the same way after you do burn your tongue. Louis laughed at me and pressed a kiss to my cheek.

"I love you so much. I'm so glad I can finally say it!" Louis said, pulling me closer against his chest. I snuggled close to him and couldn't help myself from clinging onto his shirt. I was so into Louis it was ridiculous.

"I love you, too. Saying it is like a dream, and hearing it is amazing." I said. "Now, when can I eat my birthday cake?" I asked. I honestly forgot about it from being outside all day. The day was absolutely perfect, I would say.

"Right now. I'll go get us a plate of some cake. Don't burn your tongue again while I'm gone." He chuckled, and I stuck my tongue out at him as he moved me off of his lap and got up from the couch. He just smirked before walking away to the kitchen.

I picked up my cup and brought it to my mouth, about to drink but remembering that it was hot. I blew it gently and them timidly took a sip, making sure not to burn my tongue. That would have set Louis off on another round of teasing me.

"Here you go, love." Louis said as he came back with a plate that had two slices of cake on it. It was chocolate, because who doesn't love chocolate, and it looked absolutely delicious! Louis gave me a fork and kissed my cheek as he said "Happy Birthday, Harry." I smiled before we both began to eat the cake.

I was absolutely in love with the taste of this cake. The way the icing melted on my tongue was so enchanting and the chocolatey flavor was simply divine. "This is so good! Who made it?" I asked him.

He chewed and swallowed the piece of cake in his mouth before saying "Well, I would love to lie and say I did," I laughed a bit at that and Louis smiled. "But I have to give the credit to Liam. He's the one who does a lot of the cooking. Niall volunteered to taste everything. The batter, the icing, he chose it all to perfection." He said.

"Sounds like Niall. And Liam is a gifted baker." I chuckled and Louis nodded as he took one last bite of his cake before setting the plate down. I set my fork down on top of the plate as soon as I finished the piece that was on it.

"As good as that was, I think it's time that I gave you your birthday present." He announced, and I was honestly surprised. I thought the whole 'party' was enough of a surprise. I didn't even think he would actually get me anything.

"Wha-what? You bought me... a present?" I asked in complete shock. Louis was simply amazing for being so considerate of everything on this day.

"Yeah. It's not much, but I- well, c'mon. I'll show you." He grabbed my hand, and we stood up from the couch, Louis leading the way down the hall and to his bedroom. I was super excited for whatever his present was.
