Shakespeare's Love Story

Chapter 14

December 24th, Louis' birthday, he spent most of the morning in bed, but when he woke up, he was showered with gifts and messages.

Louis was woken abruptly by a significant weight on top of his body.

"Louis! Louis! It's your birthday!" Daisy and Phoebe chanted.

"It is! I didn't know that" Louis played surprised as they the told him and they gasped.

"How can you forget it's your birthday?!"

"I'm only joking; I know it's my birthday."

"We got you a birthday card" they cheered as they climbed further up his bed.

"Ooo can I see it now?"

"No! you'll have to wait until later Louis" Daisy said with a big grin.

"Okay, I'll wait until later."

"Come on Louis; you've got to have breakfast it's nearly ready," Phoebe said.

"Can't I just sleep for a few more minutes" Louis started to close his eyes but was shaken awake by both of them.

"Let's go now Louis!"

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Louis sighed as he was dragged out of bed by the two of them holding his hand. Luckily he wasn't in a compromising position as he had his pyjama bottoms on. He was led into the kitchen where everyone else was, including Harry.

"Happy birthday" they cheered, and Louis gasped.

"Thank you so much, guys, this is amazing" He exclaimed and they all smiled at him.

His friends came up to him and surrounded him in a group hug.

"Happy birthday mate," Zayn said.

"Thank you."

There were other versions of 'Happy Birthday' said, in Niall's case sung, by Eleanor and Liam and he gave them his thanks.

The next 'Happy Birthday' came from his sisters, mum and Daniel. The twins giggled when they saw Louis and mumbled some baby noises.

Last but not least Harry came up to him and said 'Happy Birthday boo' when he was close enough. Harry smiled down at him just before pressing a kiss against his lips then wrapping him in a hug.

A chorus of 'aww' was heard around the room when they hugged, and they pulled away in embarrassment.

"We're not that cute" Louis giggled as he was pulled into Harry's side.

"Shh, yes you are, I mean team Larry everyone" Harry raised an eyebrow. "You know like Larry Stylinson."

"I've heard of Larry but not Stylinson."

"I think it's our two surnames joined together Haz," Louis said.

"Hmm, I like it."

"I do too."

"Well, I'm the captain of this ship so..."

"Woaaaah, no you're not, since when did this happen, I'm the captain of this ship" Niall interrupted, suddenly becoming more invested in the conversation.

"What the hell's going on?" Louis muttered as they bickered together.

"I don't know" Harry replied as he watched them.

"We'll leave them to it."

Louis looked over to see his mum looking at them with a smile on her face.
