Behind the Glasses

The best day ever

*knock knock knock* ***DING DONG****

Someone knocks on my door, who is knocking this early in the morning! Seriously it's like 7:00, Harry doesn't even come pick me up till 7:45. I check the peephole and its pitch black.... That's a little strange but I mean whatever so I start to unlock my door. Wait Ally, don't be so stupid! What if its kidnappers and they are putting their finger over the peephole so that you will open the door and they can kill you! That would suck on your birthday....

"Who is it?"

"Umm.." A familiar deep, raspy voice with a thick British accent starts, "Mailman?" Wow, Harry's really bad at coming up with lies on the spot. Or so I thought...

When I open the door, no one is there but a giant box which is sitting on my front porch, I mean this box is almost big enough for a person! So I look around for any sign of anybody or anything but I see nothing. So i look back down to the box and piece of paper on top of the box catches my eye, its a note.

'Take me inside before opening!' It says so I pick up the box and bring it upstairs to my room.

I immediately recognize the handwriting as Harry's so I rip off the piece of loose leaf reading take me inside and underneath is an envelope. When I open the envelope it's a note from Harry,

Dear Ally,

I've written this letter a thousand times and still don't know just what to say so I'll start with this. Happy 17th Birthday love! I know you didn't want a present but I had to get you something, especially for MY girl. ;) that's why I left it on your porch, this way you can't refuse to take it. I don't want to get too sappy so I'll just relive a couple of moments...

I remember the morning of August 17, I got called to the office to show some "new girl" around school and I'm thinking in my head "great, just another pretty girl that I'm going to have to hang out with and get made fun of later" but you ended up being so much more then that. I also remember lunch time of August 17, when you kissed me on the roof. Yeah, i knew you were different in the morning but during lunch time,at that exact moment I knew that it would be inevitable... Falling in love with you. And even though I can't see you, I know your doing that blushing/smile thing that drive me insane.

I love when you do that, in fact I love a lot of little things about you. I like your laugh and your smile. How positive and confident you are, of course the blushing is adorable. I love the soft snore you make when you sleep so peacefully. I love when you wear my clothes, even though you have only worn them once, love that you love me for who I am and most importantly, I love how I can be myself whenever your around.

I can not thank you enough for what you have done and I can not tell you how much you mean to me, but I can say this and I've said it so many times before, I'm falling in love with you and everything about you, all of your little things is what makes me crazy for you. With that said, have a very, VERY Happy birthday!

P.S. open the box with care.;)

Xx- Harry

I can't even believe this is happening, Harry is like the man of my dreams. So I take my scissors carefully cutting the tape on the box. When I open the lid about 10 balloons fly out the top, there's pink, orange, red, green, blue and every other color in between. Each balloon has a different note written on it so I read them all. Theres everything written on those balloons from 'you're beautiful' to 'your hair always smells nice' (lol, uhh thanks Harold... You too) to 'I love you' but my favorite message on the balloons by far was the blue one, 'a drop in the ocean, a change in the weather....' The lyrics from the song he sang to me at the talent show, our song.

In the bottom of the box we're a variety of different things, each with a different note on it. The first thing I pull out is a pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt with a note that reads, 'Here's my clothes for you to wear whenever you want, they're now yours to keep.' The first thing I do is bring them to my face taking in his scent, he smells of sexy man cologne with a hint of fruit almost like musky yet clean... i don't know, but it's intoxicating to me.

The second item I pull out of the box is a box of chocolates with a note that reads, 'can't go wrong with a big delicious box of chocolates!' I laugh because its true, you really can't!

The third item I pull out is a brown paper bag with a note that reads, 'just in case you don't like chocolates, here's a bag of homemade sugar cookies, I'm the best cook in the world...remember?' I open the bag snagging a cookie and eating it because its my birthday and when it's your birthday you can eat cookies at 7 AM and no one can judge. When I tell you this cookie is the best thing I have put into my mouth, I mean it! It's like sweet sugary butter in a cookie that just melts in your mouth!! God it's delicious!

I look in the box and there's one item left, it's a CD with a note that reads, 'just a few of our favorites' I blush at the word 'our' just thinking of it makes the butterflies go crazy. When I take the CD out there is a list of songs written on it

Isn't She Lovely, the song he sang to me on the roof

Teenage Dirtbag and

Stacy's Mom, the two songs we jam out to at work.... All. The. Time.

A Drop in the Ocean, the song he sang to me at the talent show and finally

Untitled, hmmmmm I wonder what that's about

So while I'm getting ready I throw the CD on and listen. The first song that comes on is isn't she lovely, however, there is no music, it's strictly a capella. And when the singing starts its a familiar deep voice and I'm not talking about Stevie Wonder, I'm talking Harry. He took his time and recorded himself and it sounds amazing. I dance and sing along to the song as I pick out my outfit. I decide on my new floral dress and a pair of my toms. Toms are THE best shoes made, I have one in every color.

The next two songs that come on are Teenage Dirtbag and Stacie's mom, both of these songs were just downloaded to the CD from his computer. These two songs are our jam out songs! And if you don't remember that one day at work.... Go reread chapter 14.

The fourth song that came on was A Drop in the Ocean, at this point my hair is finished and I'm applying some light makeup. This song Harry sings but it has piano in the background, unlike the first.

I'm putting on my shoes and grabbing my keys just when the last song comes on, it's labeled 'untitled'. It starts off with some piano but the doorbell rings before the lyrics can start, so i turn it off, grabbing my books and head downstairs.

When I open the door Harry is standing outside with a giant bouquet of red roses.

"Surprise?"
