Winter brushed the California coast as the Christmas music sang through streets. Christmas lights hung around houses like necklaces in the neighborhoods while children busily wrote their letters to Santa.

Jackets and hats get no use on the coasts since its warm year round. San Francisco get a little cooler then our summers but it wasn't anything like a frozen wonderland others got to see.

Coming over to sit on Harry's lap while he sat cross legged I felt him wrap his arms around my torso. My body still hadn't gotten used to the way he touched me, it felt foreign in a good way. Smiling I turned my head and pecked his cheek pulling away as I but my bottom lip.

"You're a cute little Santa." He said into my ear causing a tickling sensation.

"Don't do that!" I giggled rubbing my ear and trying to shake the sensation out of my ear.

"Do what?" Harry switched to find my other ear and whispered in a tickling tone causing my ear to again feel the same sensation.

"That!" I giggled once again meeting his face a few inches away.

"Okay love birds, it's secret Santa time!" Niall announced as all of us gathered in a circle on the carpet. We had decided we would all gather at Niall's since we had the house to ourselves.

Today we were drawing names for our annual secret Santa even though in all reality everyone told each other who they had. It wasn't much of a secret after everyone traded and let other in on who they had.

"I hope Louis doesn't get me again this year." Blair said just as Louis laid his head on her shoulder.

"You know you love all my presents B..." a smirk playing on his lips like always.

"Oh yeah, a rainbow set of dildos, every girls dream." Blair shook her head just as she reached into the Santa hat that Niall carried around with all the names.

Coming over to Harry and I, I grabbed from the very bottom feeling the folded paper in my hand. Pulling out I saw Harry reach in and grab a paper like me and hold it to the side of him so it prevented in me seeing it.

"Don't look!" I warned Harry as I began to unfold the paper to see the name scribbled on the ripper sheet of paper. Peeking I read his name and smiled, Niall.

"Hey, who do you have?" Harry urged whispering into my ear trying to get me to reveal what name I had.

"I can't tell you, it's called secret Santa for a reason you know." I whispered back to Harry who then went back in to whisper in my ear once again.

"If you tell me who you have I'll tell you who I have." He enticed causing me to become curious as to who he had. Nodding after a little persuasion I cupped my hand over his ear and quietly whispered the name I had.

"Niall."

"Trade me!" Harry responded without telling me who he had.

"Who do you have?" I asked him in a hushed tone so the group couldn't hear me.

"Blair."

"No." I declined seeing the begging come into Harry's expression.

"Come on Ken she is your best friend! I don't know what to get her!" Harry huffed, unsatisfied that I wouldn't trade Niall for Blair.

I was actually happy I got Niall, he had helped me out throughout the messy home life I was currently dealing with and I wanted to do something for him. I wanted to show him I appreciated every time he let Sammie and I sleep over because my parents yelling got to be too loud. This was my chance to do it and although Blair was my best friend I felt like I needed to do this for me and for Niall.
