Chapter 5: A Secret Friendship

LOUIS' POV:

Harry and I have become friends, good friends, so far... and it's my birthday, I didn't want tell Harry about it because I didn't want it to be a big deal.

I'm in bed staring up at the ceiling hearing my phone buzz, it's probably mum. I turn over to check.

It is my mum, as I expected.

Mum- happy birthday sweetie! You're an oldie, you're 23 now!

Mum- Do you have time to come home today for your birthday. I have a surprise for you!

Me- I'll make time. :)

Mum- yay can't wait to see my baby boy! :)

I lock my phone and turn back over on my back to stare at the ceiling again.

The door swings open. I jump up to see who is barging into my room.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOUIIIS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!"

"Harry..." I say calmly. "YOU SCARED THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF ME!!!" I yell breaking all my limit holds.

"I'm sor-"

"How did you even know it was my birthday?" I interrupt.

"It was on your... or Niall's kitchen calendar," he shrugs.

I nod, fucking Niall.

"Thank you for scaring me to my death by telling me happy birthday, only a friend would do that," I say growing a smirk.

He giggles wearing a big smile being pleased with himself. I smile back get out of bed wearing my underwear without a shirt.

"Hey Lou, I have a surprise for you in the kitchen," Harry says breaking the line of back and forth smiles.

I nod rolling my eyes trying not to smile, but how can I not when his eyes shine bright green in the sunlight gazing in from the window, his lips shaping his delightful big smile, and his curly hair framing his face.

My smile grows as I follow him into the kitchen. Before we got to the end of the hallway (before I could even see the kitchen) Harry gets behind me and covers my eyes making sure I was blind and leads me into the kitchen.

I feel my bare feet touch the cold tile flooring of the kitchen after we took a few steps out of the hallway. Harry takes his hands off my eyes and onto my shoulders. Balloons, ribbons, Christmas lights, toilet paper is everywhere, confetti in rainbow is all over the floor and counters. There's a box wrapped with polka dot of red and green with a silver background sitting on the middle of the floor. It takes me a second to take it all in.

"Harry," I start, "you made a mess in my kitchen."

"Yet you're smile and chuckling at it."

"There was a reason I didn't tell you my birthday was today, and that was because I didn't want it to be a huge deal. Yeah, I was going I go to my mums house and Stan's house, but I didn't want it to be a big deal." I finish.

"Oh well," Harry shrugs and I laugh to myself. The same feeling comes back, the feeling that I had when Harry and I met with our eyes, the feeling that I shook off, so I do the same again.

"Who's Stan again?"

"He's an ex boyfriend but now one of my friends."

"Ah."

"Is it okay for me to go to their houses for a bit?" I ask, he nods in reply.

I get ready putting a plain white t-shirt, and black skinny jeans with my black Vans.

I walk into the kitchen and grab my keys.

"Lou?"

"Yes."

"Will you open your gift before you go." Harry handed me my gift.

"Yes."

He got me The Fray's new album and the same striped sweatpants as him so we could match.

I stood on my toes to give him a hug. "Hey Haz? Do you want to come to my mums house with me, you can finally meet her, and you can meet Stan too."

He nodded excitedly and ran to go get ready. He wore a plain black t-shirt and black skinnies with brown boots.

I held the door open for him then we left.
