Day by Day

Birthday Boy

"We're not ready, Harry's mum is not here yet!"

"What the hell am I going to do now to stall him Zayn?!"

Zayn sighs on the other side of the phone call. "I don't know! Think! Liam says you can tell him you want to want to have ice cream or something."

I look around to see if Harry is coming. "No, we had ice cream like two hours ago... I'll tell him that we... Shit he's coming! Bye!" I fumble with my phone as I hang up the call. Harry unlocks the car and we both get in.

"What did she say?" I ask him as he turns on the ignition.

"She'll try to get it on my size. When I put the tux on she realized it was like ten sizes bigger."

"Oh, great great." My hands are shaking and my mind is going fast. I need to come up with an excuse now. "So what now?" I ask Harry.

"Home?"

"No! I mean, no. No, lets do something before we go home."

"Like what?" He rests his head on the head rest and looks at me smiling shyly. "How about we... Get some ice cream first?"

He frowns at my proposition. "We ate ice cream like three hours ago."

Shit. "Oh right right, I forgot." I smile and look through my window. I have to come up with something now. He takes my hand in his and I turn my head to look at him.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, totally great, no worries. How about a walk? Lets leave the car parked here and take a small walk. We can come back."

He smiles and nods. He turns off the ignition and we meet in front of the car. He takes my hand and we start to walk. "So how are the plans going for your birthday trip?"

"Good, everything's done. It's sad that you can't come." He kisses my hand.

I smile up at him. "Yeah sorry, too much going on right now. But we can celebrate it tomorrow." Harry looks down and smiles back at me. My phone buzzes and the text from Zayn reads that everything is set. I pull Harry's hand as I turn around.

"Lets go home, I'm very cold."

"What?"

"Lets go home please, I'm tired and cold." I hug him but I can tell he's annoyed with my choices of the last twenty minutes. "Fine."

We reach the car quickly since we didn't walk very far. Harry drives home as I text Zayn back our location. I tell him that everyone should be very quiet or else Harry will suspect something. We get home very quickly and he opens the garage, parking the car in it's usual spot. My shaky hands reach for the keys on my purse as Harry waits for me to open the door. I put the key in the hole and open the door, stepping in so Harry is alone on the doorstep. Silence. I turn on the lights and people jump up screaming "Surprise!"

Harry's face lights up like I've never seen before. His smile is really from ear to ear and one of his hands goes to his forehead in shock and his mouth opens and forms an O. "What is this?!"

"Happy birthday!" I scream as everybody cheers on Harry's presence. He gets closer to hug me I guess but he's interrupted by his mom hugging him. "Are you surprised?!" She asks him.

"Very much, yeah!"

As Harry greets everyone who came to his surprise party I head to the kitchen. "Hey, did you get the food? And I love the balloons you got!" I tell Zayn.

"Yeah, all good with that." He smiles.

"Hey thank you so much for helping me organize this for him. I know Harry is very happy to see everyone here to surprise him. Thank you." I hug Zayn and he smiles back.

We leave the kitchen and head to the living room where everyone is having a good time. Harry is talking to Louis as Eleanor hands them each a drink. He looks so happy. The sleeves of his black sweater are pulled up, his black jeans are showing off his long legs and a black fedora is holding back his long hair. Louis must've said something funny because his eyes close shut and his smile is big, showing off his white teeth. He brings the small glass to his lips as he swallows back his drink. He walks away from Eleanor and Louis, promising to come back to chat.

He starts walking to meet his mom but is interrupted by his sister. They share a long hug and he kisses the top of her head. They walk to where Anne is standing. All three of them start chatting until Gemma pulls out her phone and tries to take a photo.

"Here, I'll take it." I grab Gemma's phone from her hand and she smiles. Harry is in the middle of the photo, Gemma on his left and their mom on Harry's right. Both women are hugging him very tight. Their smiles shinny for the photo.

"There, looks great."

"Thanks!" Gemma squeezes my arm as Harry engages a small conversation with his mom. "Great party. It's small but I'm sure he loves it. Just his close friends and family. Look how happy he is."

She's right. He does look so happy and that makes me happy. I squeeze Gemma's hand and she smiles in return. "Thanks, I'm so glad you guys made it." I hug her and start to walk away. I need to start heating the food so we can have dinner.

"Hey! You!" I hear the familiar voice behind me. I turn around and Harry is walking my way. I smile. He puts his glass on the table next to him and starts to jog. His arms go around my waist and he lifts me from the floor. I can't contain my laughter and my hands go to the sides of his jaw. Quickly, I peck his lips and he smiles. My feet are set back on the floor.

"How do you do all of this? Where do you get the time or the idea even?"

I shrug my shoulders. "With a lot of patience and help from your friends of course. Just a little birthday surprise." I peck his lips again. "Having a good time?"

"Yeah, it's amazing how everyone I'm close to is here. You're amazing." His hold around me get tighter and my hands realese his jaw to meet behind his neck.

"Don't be so surprised pal, you deserve so much more than this. This is just a silly excuse so I get to sing happy birthday to you because you're leaving on a trip on Sunday without me and we'll be apart on your birthday. So I wanted to make sure you feel loved by everyone here, loved by me." I brush his hair back and scratch slightly his scalp.

His lips go to my cheek and then my lips, kissing me until we're both out of breath. "I love you." He smiles at me as his lips kiss the shell of my ear and he whispers just for me to listen, "I love you more."

Hours go by. We're sat on the living room talking, there's people out on the backyard, people getting drinks, all over the house. Niall comes with a big cake on his hands and twenty lit candles. Harry is sitting on the couch and I can tell he's been waiting for the cake. I stand up and take out my phone, snapping a few pictures as everyone sings happy birthday.

Harry blows out the candles and Louis pushes his face into the cake. Harry gets up from the couch and wipes his face with his hand, getting icing on his palm and spreading it across Louis's face. Everyone laughs and claps. Anne gets on the task of cutting the cake for everyone. I head to the kitchen to get some water and suddenly, two hands cover my eyes and everything goes black. I can feel icing on my nose.

"Harry!" I say, taking his hands off my face. I look at him and his face is still covered with icing.

I reach up and plant a small kiss on his cheek, licking the icing off my lips. "You look so cute", I tell him. He smiles and he does to me what he did to Louis. My cheek is now covered in icing. "You look cute too baby."

His lips crash on mine. He tastes like cake and now our faces are sticky.

"Happy birthday, I hope you live three thousand years more", I say between our kiss.

"Shut up, I'm trying to kiss you."
