chapter 20 - planning

Harry's P.O.V

I just got out of an interview with Fionn about Dunkirk and I was on my way to meet with Niall. I had an Idea for Louis birthday which is only 3 weeks away. I know its hard because his birthday is literally Christmas eve but I want to surprise him with a party. He deserves one, Niall said he hasn't had one in a long time and as his boyfriend I am going to give him one. Plus we have been together now for almost 5 months and it will be our first Christmas together. Niall is going to help me because he knows Louis family and friends and can help me invite the right people. I'm going to invite my family as well because Louis hasn't met them yet.

"Louis wouldn't want anything formal he would want something with good music, a dance floor, every body drinking and having fun" Niall said and I nodded "okay so not a Christmas formal event" he shook his head and I nodded and pulled up some clubs that you can either rent out or have private areas. "hey try 'Friendly Society'" Niall said and I typed it in. "a gay bar" I said "one of Louis favorites.. he does feel at home there" I laughed and looked on the website "great I can rent it out and they have a whole dance floor". Niall and I high fived and he started writing up the list of people to invite. "Louis has a big family" I said as I read under the section that said 'Louis family' "yeah, almost all girls except for Louis and his little brother". I called the venue and talked about renting it out on the 23rd and thankfully they were available for that. I told them I would pay when I was there to set up and they said that was fine and reserved it for me, Niall and I wrote up the text to send to everyone an Niall sent it out for me. It said

"hello everyone! Louis Tomlinson birthday is coming up very soon, he will be the big 28! I want to throw him a special surprise party and of course you are all invited! I hope to see you all there. It's at 'Friendly Society' on lake bridge Rd. I've rented out the whole place and can't wait to see you all there! all the love, Harry (and Niall)"

I wrote a different text for my family and some of my friends that I wanted to meet Louis and Beau. I also did want to take Beau shopping and let her pick out something she wanted to get for her dad and I could get him a gift as well. My mum said she and Robin were really excited to meet Louis and his family and that they would of course be there. I called Louis mate Zayn and asked him if he could help decorate since he has experience with doing things like that for events, he said yes. Niall had already texted him about the party but I needed help. And Niall just kept saying "we should do green" so I couldn't rely on his help for decorating. Zayn said he would handle all the decor and I would obviously pay for it. He told me he could get the decorating crew from the charity to decorate and I told him o invite them as well. "Thank you again for helping me Ni" he smiled and patted my back "hey anything for my best mates... I better be a best man at the wedding" I snorted and walked to my car. I already had called Louis and asked if I could take Beau on a day out with me tomorrow and he said yes. I was on my way to his house and my car pulled up and I saw a random car parked down the street and I squinted seeing what looked like jasmine and I shook my head. I told my driver to pull up to the car and I got out and knocked on the window and she jumped but rolled down the window pulling scarf up "yes" "I know who you are Jasmine" I said crossing arms. "Please don't tell Louis.." "Oh you bet I am telling him, you need to leave. now. and I highly suggest that you do not come back. Or there will law suits and restraining orders... so you can leave drama free or be forced to stay away" I said it firmly but not rudely. She just nodded and started her car, once she drove away I got back in the car and he parked in front of the house and let me out. I told him thank you and that I would staying the whole night so he was off until the morning. I went up to the door and knocked "it's open Harry" I heard Louis yell, I smiled as I opened the door. I slid my shoes off and walked to the kitchen seeing him defrosting veggies "whoa are you cooking?" I said over exaggerating making him roll his eyes "I can steam some damn vegetables Harry". I chuckled an pecked his cheek "well defrost some chicken and I will cook it", he smiled and leaned against me "you're a saint" I chuckled and looked around "Where's Beau?" "oh she's upstairs with Audrey" I smiled "those two are becoming inseparable". Louis smiled as he dumped the veggies into the steam pot "yeah... she is a sweet girl Audrey, I think it's good for Beau. I don't think she has had a friendship like this before" I smiled and sighed "Louis Jasmine was parked down he street" I said biting my lip. He turned around and looked at me "are you fuckin kidding" I shook my head "I told her she can either stay away drama free or law suits and restraining orders could keep her away and she left..." Louis bit his lip and leaned against the counter. "That's it I'm not waiting for her to do this again, I am getting a restraining order against her for Beau and I" I rubbed both his arms and tilted his head up "then we will get one" he smiled softly and leaned up pecking me. I helped him cook dinner and the girls came down together "Harry!" Beau said and hugged me "oh now you notice I'm here" I said teasing and she giggled. I smiled "Hi Audrey" she smiled "Hi Harry". We all sat at the table together and ate, Audrey and Beau were telling us all about 'Mulberry' and the photo shoot they did a couple days ago. They said their costumes were really funny and looked like old ladies clothing "but it was very comfy" Audrey said making Beau laugh. I smiled at Louis and he smiled back at me. I am so excited for his birthday.

I finished getting ready and helped Louis clean up a bit. Louis made a drawer for me to keep clothes in so I didn't have to bring an over night bag all the time. I went downstairs and saw Beau on the counter trying to get a bowl from the cabinet, I chuckled and picked her up off the counter and through her over my shoulder "AH HARRY!" she squealed making me laugh "what's the magic word!" I said "LOTION" she yelled and I stopped spinning her and set her down "you are definitely Louis child" she giggled and I handed her a bowl "gonna eat some cereal?" she nodded and I smiled "or... I could make waffles.." she handed me back the bowl and smiled making me chuckle "waffles it is". Louis came down and we all ate together and messed around a bit before my driver arrived "alright Beau time to go" she kissed Louis and hugged him "love you daddy" he smiled "have fun". I kissed him softly "we will be back later don't have too much fun without us" I said sliding my shoes on and he laughed "how could I".

As we were on our way to the shopping plaza I explained to Beau that the party was a secret and she couldn't tell her dad and that she could pick out any gift or gifts for him and something for herself. She asked if she could bring Audrey and I told her I would get in touch with her parents but of course. I put some sun glasses on and Beau and I walked into some of the shops. I had my security guard Paul with us just in case fans got a bit hectic. She and I walked around a music store and she looked at things while I was thinking, what could I get him that would be really special? Wait he told me one time one of his dreams was to play a game of football with the 'Don caster Rovers', which is one of his favorite teams. And I happen to have connections with some of the players, I smiled and the gears in my head started turning. A few fans asked me for pictures and autographs and even asked Beau for pictures, which was cute. well hey, I know what his gift will be. Beau ended up wanting to get him a mini music recording set "why this?" I asked as I put it in the trolley "he always sings around the house and I think his voice is pretty" I smiled, I want to hear him sing. We checked out and walked around a couple stores and Beau picked a cute friendship bracelet "for me and Audrey" she said smiling "I think they're very pretty". I told Beau I would wrap the present and hide it with me so her dad wouldn't see it and she agreed.

"She's fast asleep" Louis said as he walked into his room. I was sitting on his bed "thank you for taking her out, I know she really loved it" I smiled "don't thank me.. just come here" he smiled and straddled me nuzzling his nose to my cheek. "So why didn't you tell me you could sing?" I asked teasingly "I can't" he said pulling his head up s we were face to face. "mm hmm that isn't what I heard" he blushed "oh shush okay... I like to sing but I'm not even that good" I rolled my eyes "stop talking yourself down or I wont kiss you" Louis puckered and I turned my head up and he giggled trying to turn my head towards him "nope" I said moving my head where he couldn't kiss me. "Okay I have a good singing voice" he said huffing and I smiled "you have to sing for me someday" he chuckled "maybe.. now, kiss me you fool" he said cupping my face and connecting our lips. I chuckled softly before wrapping my arms around him and kissing him back.
