HARRY’S P.O.V.

I roll over in me and Louis’ semi-lit bedroom, expecting to drape my arm over his sleeping body, only to feel cool, empty sheets.

“Lou,” my voice is scratchy and quiet, so I clear my throat and repeat myself, “Lou?”

“Babe? Why are you awake?”

His voice is coming from the closet and I scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion. I’m still waking up and nothing is really connecting in my head. I yawn loudly and roll over to better project

my voice to where he is.

“I could ask you the same thing.”

He steps out of the walk-in closet, wearing boxers that he didn’t fall asleep in. In fact, he was entirely naked just like I am now.

“Well, it was meant to be a surprise, but you woke up at six on a Friday for some god-awful reason.”

I chuckle and cuddle up to my pillow, closing my eyes to block the bits of sunlight shining through the window.

“What’s meant to be a surprise?”

He approaches the bed and rolls me onto my back before climbing on top of the blankets, placing his legs on either side of my hips. I open my eyes as he leans down to kiss me softly.

“We’re going on holiday.”

I stroke my hands down his bare chest and let them rest at the elastic that begins his single piece of clothing.

“And where on earth are we going?”

He kisses my forehead and runs his fingers through my mess of hair.

“Now that is going to stay a surprise, my dear. Don’t worry, I’m packing for you.”

“Dear? You’re making us sound like an old married couple. How do I know you’ve packed everything I want?”

Louis chuckles and kisses my lips again.

“Just trust me, okay? Go back to sleep, love. I have to go out for a bit and we’re leaving in the

afternoon. No reason to be awake right now.”

He tries to leave the bed, but I hold onto his waist and pull him back, forcing him to lay down on top of me.

“Then why are you? You’re being so secretive.”

I make sure to include traces of suspicion in my tone, even though I know he’s not up to something bad. I just like to tease him. He smirks and nips at my jaw playfully.

“All part of the surprise. Don’t even try to get it out of me. It won’t work.”

It must be a big surprise then, because Louis can never keep a secret from me. Ever.

“Fine, I won’t try to ruin it even though I really do hate surprises.”

Louis scoffs and gently pinches my nipple, forcing a small moan from me.

“That’s just something people who secretly love surprises say.”

I giggle and pull him closer so that I can kiss him without making the effort to sit up.

“Alright, stop distracting me. You don’t want it to be a shit surprise, do you?”

I huff and release my grasp on his waist. He kisses me once more and stands up.

“I demand you go back to sleep.”

I nod my head and close my eyes again. It doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
