chapter 36

Harry POV

The next morning I wake up to "Merry Christmas love", followed my a kiss on my forehead and then a wave of coldness. I open my eyes to see Louis left the bed. I let out a whining moan and cuddle Louis' pillow instead of him.

Due to the coldness I can't fall asleep anymore. After a few minutes I feel someone sitting on the bed. I slowly open my eyes, adjusting to the light, and I see Louis, looking cute as always. Hair a bit messy, eyes bright blue, smiling at me.

"Hi", I mumble, voice raspy and sleepy.

He smiles widely and he lays down in the bed again, putting his hand on my waist.

"Good morning", he whispers before softly kissing my lips. He rests his forehead against mine, staring in my eyes.

"You have morning breath love", he chuckles and I get out of the bed. "Don't move Mr. Tomlinson. I will be right back."

When I come back into the bedroom, I see Louis with a Santa hat on his head. I giggle as I approach him, snatching the hat and placing it over my own curls. He smiles fondly at me and I climb back in the bed.

"Merry Christmas lovely Louis". He looks up to the Santa hat, "Merry Christmas Santa Styles", I kiss his lips and get out of the bed once again.

"Where are you going?", he pouts, sitting up. "Getting your gift."

"I already got a gift yesterday", he says and he points at the paper plane necklace laying on the bedside table. "I know. But it's Christmas. Besides, I made you something."

I hand him the box and he looks a bit confused when he opens it. He finds a leather journal with leather cords to close it in the box.

"Open the book", I demand and he unties the cords, opening the notebook.

"Haz", he whispers and when I look at him I see a few tears in his eyes.

"They're reasons why I love and admire you, pictures of us and some of our favorite moments. A lot like the one I got from you last year, but there's a lot more in there", I explain and I see the tears in his eyes disappeared. There's now a big smile on his face.

"I love it Haz. Thank you so much. It's beautiful", he smiles. I pull him in a hug, "You're welcome darling"

"Merry Christmas!", Gemma bursts through the door, stopping when she sees me hugging Louis tightly. "Aww", she coos, smiling at us. I pull back from the hug, patting on the bed for Gemma to sit.

Less than a second later she jumps on the bed, hugging me and Louis both, each with one arm. I wrap one arm around Louis and one around Gemma.

"Merry Christmas", she whispers at us and she gets two of the same wishes in return.

"Mum made breakfast, let's go downstairs. I'm starving", she states as we pull out of the little group hug.

Louis clears his throat uncomfortably. "Join us Lou", I say and Gemma nods.

"I don't know, but your parents-", I cut him off. "I don't care what they say. It's either the both of us, or neither of us." I rub the back of his hand with my thumb.

"Same goes for me", Gemma says. "Either the three of us, or neither of us." I smile at her. "Thank you for supporting us Gem", Louis says, smiling and I nod.

"Now, let's go and have some breakfast", I say and we get out of the bed we were still sitting on. "Okay let's do this", Louis whispers and I squeeze his hand in support.

"Merry Christmas, Gemma and Harry", mum exclaims as we walk towards the kitchen table, her and Robin's faces change when they see Louis holding my hand.

"Oh, why is he here, Harry?", she asks me annoyedly with a disgusted face.

"Don't talk about him like he's a piece of dirt, mum. He's my boyfriend for God's sake! Don't you want me to be happy? Well I am very happy! With Louis", I almost start yelling at my mum till I feel two hands on my shoulders and I see Louis standing on front of me.

"Shh, calm down, love. It's okay, we knew this would happen. It's okay", he whispers and he pulls me in a hug, comforting me.

I pull away, tears in my eyes, when Robin clears his throat.

"I hope you know that I agree with Harry and Louis. They're such a lovely and happy couple. Just let them be. And you're either having all three of us for breakfast, or neither of us", Gemma speaks up.

"Thank you", I mouth at her and she smiles. And there we're standing, the three of us, Gemma, Louis and I. In front of my mum and Robin, waiting for their response.

They share a few looks before Robin sighs, "Harry, grab a 5th plate from the kitchen."

I smile and walk towards the kitchen and when I walk back, I see Louis smiling while talking about something with Gemma, causing me to smile. I love that they get along so well.

"Here's your plate, love", I say as I hand him the plate. He looks up at me, his eyes twinkling, "Thank you."
