~~~~~~~~

I look over at Adam in a questioning manner but he just shrugs his shoulders.
Everyone turns their attention to Harris on the stage.

"Hi, so as some of you might not know, not only is it Zara's launch party but it's also her birthday" everyone looks over to me and starts clapping and I do a shy smile

"So me and then guys wanted to do something a little special for her" Adam, Slim and Naz walk onto the stage and I rolled my eyes at how Adam lied to me

"Please sit down and enjoy the song" Adam points at the chairs and everyone sits down, including me
The familiar backing track to 'A Different Way' starts but it's more of a slower version

I watch as Harris sings, his eyes closed, clearly showing this wasn't the first time he had sung.
Actually come to think of it, I hadn't really asked him what his job was.

The music comes to and end and Harris opens his eyes with a huge smile on face.
"Zara would you join us on the stage?" Adam asks and I get up slowly still unsure about what was going on
Harris holds his hand out and I take it and he helps me up onto the stage. I reluctantly remove my hand from his and he looks into my eyes.
I look away because I can't take his eye contact.

"Guys if you'd join in" Slim begins and they all start singing Happy Birthday and I get so awkward

Is it just me or is it really hard to know what to do when people sing happy birthday to you?
I stand there looking as shy as ever as everyone sings to me.
A couple of people wheel a cake out that says 'Happy Birthday Zara' with candles on it

They stop singing and I blow my candles out after washing for something that I didn't really expect to be wishing for.
Everyone claps and I smile shyly before everyone starts crowding around the cake for a slice. I leave them all to it and walk towards the windows at the back and sit down to watch the sunset.

"Hey"
I turn my head to see Harris stood a few feet from me
"Hey" I reply with a smile
I watch him take a seat in front of me and for a couple of moments we just watch the sunset.

"So how was my singing?" He breaks the peaceful silence
"It was... shocking" I eventually find a way to describe it
"So not good?" He validates with a raised eyebrow
"Oh no no" I shake my head, "In a really good way, I just didn't know you could sing that's all"

He nods his head with a smile on his face,
"So what do you do?" I ask
"What do you think I do?"
"Honestly, I thought you'd be a lawyer or something" I shrug
"Wow" he nods his head slowly
"So enlighten me" I fold my arms, "What is it that you do?"

He mirrors my position, folding his arms,
"Well, I sing"
I furrow my eyebrows
"You're a singer?" And he nods his head in response

Okay I've always wanted a husband that could sing to me

"I mean... that's cool" I shrug but I'm pretty sure he can tell I think it's more than cool
"Yea it is" he smirks

We turn to watch the sunset again but I can feel his eyes on me
"You know..." he pauses, "I don't know much about you"
"And what would you like to know?"
"Favourite colour?"
"Blue"
"Good choice, Green for me" his eyes look around the room, "Favourite song?"
"Falling Like The Stars, James Arthur"
"Ooh good choice, min-"

"Yoooooooo Zaraaaaa" Slim tackles me in a hug
"Heyyyyy" I saw swatting him off me
"How did you like your surprise?" Adam asks
"I loved it" I turn to Harris, "Thank you"

"So we have one more surprise for you" Naz says handing me a gift bag
They all pull up a chair and sit with us
"You didn't have to get me anything!" I smile and Adam shakes his head
"You don't get to say no" and they all agree with him

I put my hand into the bag and take out a box. I open it and see a delicate gold necklace with the Arabic lettering of my name.
"Oh my god, guys" I put my hand to my heart, "Thank you"

"Zara do you wanna go home yet?" Kaisar says walking towards me
"Erm no, I need to stay for an hour or so yet, I'll see you at home" I reply and he nods his head

After clearing everything up and packing all my products with the help of the boys, I'm finally ready to go home.
I check the time on my phone; 11:48pm

"Past your bedtime?" Harris asks and I chuckle
"No, but I am feeling tired" I grab my bag and we all walk out towards Naz's car
"You guys up for a dessert?" Naz says starting up his car
"Nah not for me, just drop me off home please" I say and they all pout
"Come with us" Slim says and I shake my head
"Not today boys"

Once we reach my apartment I say goodbye to them all and Harris gets out of the car to help me out.
"Thank you" I smile at him and he smiles back
"By the way" he stops me, "Take a look at the bottom of the box when you get a chance"

Before I can ask him what he's talking about he's already sat in the car. He smiles at me before they drive away

I go up to my silent apartment, to see Kaisar sat on my sofa instead of in his bed asleep.
"Why aren't you asleep?" I ask putting my keys down on my TV stand
"I was waiting for you" he gets up and kisses my head, "get some sleep"

I watch him as he walks into the bedroom and smile, I really am lucky
My eyes catch the gift bag and I walk over to it and take the box out. I take the necklace out and look under the layer to find a note.

I open it up;

Hey,
