When He Was Mine (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight - 'Happy Birthday?'

A FEW WEEKS LATER

"Lucy" I heard as I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder "Are you awake?"

I fluttered my eye lashes a few times letting my eyes adjust to the light before eventually opening them fully.

"Happy Birthday Beautiful" I looked up to see Harry sitting with his boxers and t-shirt on in the bed next to me, his bed head hair made him look so sexy.

I smiled and rubbed my head which ached.

"Thank you" I said shuffling up into a sitting position next to my boyfriend.

My throbbing head reminded me of last night; my friends, the music, the party for my 16th birthday.

Harry leaned forward and softly kissed my forehead.

Harry staying over was totally innocent considering we slept in the same bed. He was supposed to sleep on a mattress on the floor which was one of terms of him being allowed to stay but I trusted him enough to let him sleep next to me.

I stood up and walked over to my mirror. My panda eyes reminded me I hadn't had enough time to take off my make-up last night and my hair was crazy, it looked like I'd been in a fight with my bedsheets. How could Harry honestly call this 'beautiful'? I grabbed a make-up wipe and quickly swiped it over my face. I pulled my hair over one shoulder and made my way back over to the bed. I quickly pulled back the bed covers and jumped in, snuggling up to Harry. The cuddle lasted about 5 minutes before I finally heard Harry's voice.

"Oh I almost forgot!" he threw himself off the side of the bed and picked a gift bag up off the floor.

"You didn't have to" I blushed.

"Shh" he said putting his finger against my lips as he joined me on the bed again.

He passed me the gift bag, the grin on his face signalling me to open it. I pulled two nicely wrapped presents out of it, one about the size of a cereal box and one smaller maybe containing jewellery of some sort.

"Which one first?" I said indecisively.

Harry pointed from one to the other numerous times before stopping on the big one. "That one"

I flicked open the little tag on top, which read:

'To our lovely Lucy,

Have a brilliant 16th birthday!

Lots of love and hugs,

Anne, Robin and Gemma xx'

I held back the smile that tried to break out on my face, Harry's family loved me! I quickly peeled off the wrapping paper and opened the box revealing three items. One was very expensive make-up, one was a box of Thornton's chocolates and the last one was an empty photo frame. I couldn't hold back the smile anymore, everything was so lovely. I looked at Harry who smiled nervously back at me.

"Are they ok? My mum didn't really know what to get you" he smirked which made his dimples peak out of his cheeks.

"They're lovely Harry" I said grabbing him for a hug.

"Come on, this one now! It's from me" he said grabbing the small box.

He dropped it into my hands and angled himself so he could see my reaction perfectly. I opened it slowly, teasing him. A small velvet box was left where the wrapping paper had once been. I held the box to my face before pulling back the lid even slower than I had taken off the paper. Harry leaned closer and closer as the lid opened. I looked down at a shiny silver half a heart shape necklace with 'Lucy' engraved into it. It rested comfortably on a red cushion inside the box.
