x. birthday

3 month laters

maybellene sat on her bed, scrolling through her phone. she had downtime until her shift started so she decided to stay home and treat herself with some peace and quiet. but of course, that wasn't the case. she looked up from her phone when she heard someone knocking at her door. she groaned, not wanting to get up from her comfortable position but at the same time knowing it was probably her landlord for rent.

she sluggishly slipped out of bed and went towards her door, opening it to reveal not her landlord, but a smiling harry with a gift. 

"happy birthday."

may smiled and gave him a hug and also a kiss. "why thank you my kind sir" 

harry stepped inside and closed the door behind him, then following may back to her room. he flopped onto her bed, making her laugh and soon joining him. 

"i have work in a bit so you'll only be here for a little.", may told him as he hugged her and placed his head In the crook of her neck. "no you don't.", he replied.

"um, yes i do.", she said, slightly confused. "no you don't, matt said you have the day off.", harry simply replied, gripping his arms tighter around her. 

maybellene sat up straight, and looked down at harry who was now pouting since she wasn't in his reach. "when?"

"when i told him to give you the day off, that's when.", harry smiled, reaching out his arms only to be swatted away by a somewhat angry maybellene. "why did you do that?"

"just because it's my birthday doesn't mean i can slack off harry.", maybellene said.

"you're always working baby. you deserve some time off, besides it's your birthday. who wants to work on their birthday."

may stayed quiet, knowing he was right. "exactly, now dress back into regular clothes and your birthday night will begin."

maybellene laughed and hugged him. "whatever you say."

harry smiled and kissed her. "oh and i almost forgot."

"hmm?", replied may.

"louis wants you to go by his place, says he has a gift for you."

maybellene froze, her face now shocked and confused. "you alright?", harry asked, rubbing her back. 

"yeah no i'm okay. just haven't spoke to him in a while.", she chuckled, faking a smile.

"oh, well louis is a nice guy. he wouldn't forget about you on your birthday may."

she nodded. "yeah, you're right. i'll go later."
