Skye

“Harry just let me drive,” I whined at him. He shot me a look but continued to ignore me as we walked towards his car.

“Don’t make me ruin your birthday with a fight Harry,” I continued to whine. “I’ll cry in front of all the paps.” I threatened further; Harry sighed and turned to look at me. I couldn’t help but check out how amazing he looked in his white button up shirt tucked into his black dress pants. My eyes stayed on his exposed collarbone for a moment before I looked back up to his smirking face.

“I feel like I’m a piece of meat when you check me out,” Harry smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at him before stepping closer and wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head on his chest. His arms came up and casually travelled up and down my exposed back causing me to shiver in my short red dress. I casually slipped my hand into Harry’s pants pocket and grabbed the keys before pulling away and taking a few steps back. Harry looked shocked for a moment while I dangled the keys in my hand. His eyes hardened at me.

“I’m driving,” I said sternly, walking over to the car and climbing into the driver’s seat. I waited a few moments before Harry finally gave in and climbed into the passenger seat.

“Why do you want to drive so much?” He grumbled. I chose not to answer and instead turned the radio up and easily pulled out onto the road. I kept shooting Harry glances wondering how much attention he was paying to where I was going. It was his birthday and I had taken him out for dinner while everyone else got his surprise birthday party ready. Now it was time for us to show up and I had to do it without telling Harry. Obviously it was very hard.

I saw Harry begin to look around curiously but I would speed up the car and instantly his attention would snap back to the speedometer. I finally pulled up to a dark building. Harry looked completely confused as he watched me get out of the car.

“Are you getting out or are you just going to let me walk into dark building’s by myself?” I enquired shutting the door behind me. Harry was out of the car instantly and wrapping his arm around my waist. I giggled and gave his keys back to him before leading him inside.

“Skye, what’s going on?” Harry asked. I giggled and stopped in front of a door. I reached up and pressed my lips to his softly.

“Happy Birthday.” I whispered before pushing the door open and stepping to the side. I watched Harry’s confusion turn to shock as everyone screamed Happy Birthday at him. His mouth dropped open as he stared at everyone in the room. I started to laugh and grabbed his arm leading him into the room.

“You did this?” Harry asked me pressing a kiss to my cheek.

“Where’s our thanks. We did all the hard work.” Louis said coming up smiling largely. Harry grabbed his shoulders and pressed a loud kiss to his cheek.

“Thank you!” Louis said winking at Harry.

“Mum!” Harry said surprised as Anne, Robin and Gemma approached to greet him.

“This is my boyfriend Toby.” Gemma said pulling a cute boy up to stand next to her. I saw Harry’s posture stiffen slightly as he sized up the boy that was holding onto Gemma’s hand.

“Happy Birthday.” He said leaning forward to shake Harry’s hand. My mouth dropped open in shock. He was Australian!

“Oh come on Harry. He’s Australia, you have to like him now regardless if he’s dating your sister or not.” Harry shot me an amused look before shaking the Toby’s hand.

“God Gem, when you said you were going to find an Aussie bloke, you weren’t kidding.” I giggled. She blushed darkly.

“You must be Skye. Gemma told me about you,” he said sweetly turning to me to shake my hand. I shook it back.

“So where are you from?” I asked him intrigued.

“Small town outside of Perth.”

“Oh really? Haven’t been over that way yet.”

“It’s pretty good, a lot more quiet with empty beaches and great waves.” He told me honestly.

“Seriously? I’ll have to go there. I’m from Brissy.”

“I lived there for two years. Spent most of my time at the coast though.” I nodded in understanding.

“Well you two can chat later. We’ll let you catch up with everyone else.” Gemma said, grabbing Toby’s hand and walking away. I winked at her before allowing Harry to lead me in another direction.

“You know I’m supposed to be harsh to my sister’s boyfriend. You’re not supposed to be friends with him until I’ve approved.” Harry told me seriously.

“But he’s Australian Harry! Of course you already approve of him.” I pouted at him. He shook his head before pressing a kiss to my lips.

“Now now, none of that. Unless you’re willing to share?” Ed Sheeran’s voice broke us apart. Harry rolled his eyes before pulling him into a hug. He then kissed my cheek and pulled me into a hug too.

I followed Harry around the room as we greeted as many guests as possible and everyone began shouting Harry drinks. I knew by the end of tonight I would probably have a very drunk boyfriend.

“You can go dance,” Harry yelled into my ear over the loud music. I shook my head at him. He shot me a confused look before excusing himself from the people around us and taking my hand to a side door. We stepped out into the silence and Harry instantly turned to stare directly into my eyes.

“It’s okay to have fun Skye.” Harry said to me gently.

“I am having fun.” I defended.

“You would be if you were dancing.”

“I just don’t feel like it,” I said sighing. “It just feels wrong to have fun.” I added on.

“It’s okay to have fun remember.” Harry said placing his large hand gently on my waist. I took a step forward to lean on him better.

“I want you to go in there and dance with the girls, please. For my birthday.” Harry said looking down at me. I rolled my eyes at him as he pouted.

“Fine only because it’s your birthday.” I conceded. He smiled and leant forward to press his lips to mine. I went to walk back inside but he pulled me back.

“I love you.”

“Love you too birthday boy.” I said reaching up to press my lips to his again before leading him back inside to the loud room. He pressed a quick kiss to my head before letting my hand go and nudging me towards the dance floor. I sighing and began to weave my way through the crowd to the dance floor where I instantly found Danielle’s curly hair bouncing along to the music.

“Hey,” I yelled into her ear. She spun around and squealed happily when she saw me. She grabbed my hand and yanked me back around to join Eleanor and Tate. I slowly began to dance with the girls before I got more into it and let myself go a bit. Deciding that I wasn’t a horrible person if I had some fun.

Eventually it was time to bring out the cake. Everyone crowded around Harry and the cake as we sang to him. He stood there and smiled goofily at everyone, enjoying being the centre of attention on his night. Anne of course stepped forward to do a speech for her son.

We all laughed and sniffled slightly in the appropriate areas as she told us stories about Harry when he was younger. Some stories I had heard, others were new to me as well. Gemma walked up to wrap an arm around Anne, who had started to tear up through her speech. We all clapped loudly and cheered at the end as she cried softly into Harry’s chest. I smiled wildly and laughed with Robin and Des. Des and Robin both did speeches as well as Gemma before Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall stepped forward to do their part. By the time they were done everyone in the room was in stitches from laughter as they told us stories about all the things they got up to together.

“I would just like to thank everyone for coming,” Harry said loudly to everyone. “Thank you for coming here and celebrating this with me. Thank you to everyone who helped set this up and to my family who have always been here for me. And according to Liam, one girl I have to thank the most is my darling bird Skye.” Harry said turning to wink at me. I blushed darkly and attempted to step back amongst the group of people around me.

“Don’t be a pansy.” Tate’s voice said into my ear before pushing me forward, making me stumble into the circle that had been created around Harry. His eyes twinkled and his dimples appeared as he reached a hand out and pulled me into his side. Everyone clapped and hollered loudly making me blush even more.

“Thank you,” Harry whispered into my ear. I smiled up at him as he pressed a small kiss to my cheek making the cheers get louder.

I stayed standing next to Harry as he cut the cake. The moment his knife reached the bottom he turned to smirk at me.

“KISS HER, KISS HER!” A chant started, sounding a lot like Louis’ voice. Soon enough everyone joined in and I blushed darkly as Harry’s smirk grew wider. He placed both hand on my hips before lowering his head towards me. He raised one hand to angle my head before pressing his lips to mine. It was soft at first as the cheers around us reached an all time high. They were soon blocked out though when Harry gently pushed is tongue into my mouth and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. My own arms came up to circle around his neck as I kissed him back.

The whistling and yelling soon broke back into my hearing as I pulled away from Harry knowing my face was extremely red. I laughed and stepped back from Harry slightly. Before either of us knew what was happening Niall had appeared beside Harry and had placed a large amount of cake icing across his face.

I burst out laughing at the stunned look on Harry’s face as pictures were snapped. Harry grinned evilly behind the cake icing before grabbing Niall’s face and pressing a large kiss to his cheek making sure to get as much icing as possible all over Niall’s face. I laughed even harder before handing them both napkins, helping Harry wipe the cake from his face as Tate helped Niall.

We stepped back so the cake could be cut and handed out. Harry smiled at me brightly before bending down and pressing a kiss to my lips.

“What was that for?” I asked him when he pulled away. His eyes twinkled as he looked down at me.

“I haven’t seen you this happy in a while.” He commented.

“I haven’t been this happy in a while.” I responded pressing a kiss to his cheek before wrapping my arms around his body and rested my head against his chest. I felt his lips against my head before I was separated from him as El dragged me back to dancing.

After a while longer I got thirsty however and left with Dani to get some drinks.

“Oh sorry,” A lady said bumping into both of us.

“Oh it’s okay.” Dani said politely while my eyes went wide.

“You’re from The Saturdays right?” I blurted out. Rochelle and Molly stared at me for a moment before smiling.

“I’m going to completely fangirl right now but I LOVE your music!” I told them honestly. They both smiled at me.

“Aw thank you! That’s so sweet. It’s Skye right? Harry’s bird?” Gritting my teeth at the term bird, I nodded none the less and smiled at Molly.

“I think your boyfriend and my husband are trying to see who can get drunk first right now.” Rochelle commented pointing towards Marvin and Harry downing a few shots in a row with Nick Grimshaw cheering them on. I shook my head at the scene. I was going to have a great time taking Harry home tonight.

“You girls want to come dance?” Dani asked them both. They quickly agreed and I became ecstatic when we walked back onto the dance floor. I couldn’t believe that I was dancing with two member of The Saturday’s right now. I would have to thank Harry later for asking me to be his girlfriend.

“Both of our men are calling us over.” Rochelle leaned forward to whisper in my ear. I glanced in the direction she was looking to see Harry waving at us wildly. Curiously I headed over there, the moment I reached his side I felt his lips on mine. I let him kiss me for a moment before pulling away.

“I want to introduce you to...” I cut Harry off.

“JLS.” I said staring wide eyed at the four men in front of me. “I’ve been listening to your music from when you guys first started. I swear I have never hated any of your songs.” I told them honestly.

“Hey,” Harry grumbled staring down at me. “You’re not supposed to like them that much.”

I couldn’t help the blush that spread across my cheeks as each member leant forward to introduce themselves and press a kiss to my cheek. By the time they had finished Harry was glaring down at me while I was extremely red. I laughed at his face before pressing a kiss to his lips. This seemed to calm him down for now as he fell back into conversation with the boys.

I ended up staying by Harry’s side for the rest of the night as he drank more and it became increasingly harder for him to walk on his own.

“You know what Toby. You are a great guy!” Harry slurred to Toby as we chatted with him. I watched him amused as he swayed slightly on the spot. I giggled with Gemma as Toby tried to talk with Harry. He eventually shot us a distressed look, taking pity we interrupted their conversation.

“Maybe we should find a seat for you.” I suggested to Harry.

“I am getting quite tired.” He admitted to me cutely. I smiled up at him before waving goodbye to the Gemma and Toby and made our way over to some empty chairs. I placed Harry in one. He leant backwards and his head rolled to the side as he stared at me. I could tell by his eyes that he was having trouble to focus.

“I love you.” Harry told me loudly. I started to laugh before assuring him that I loved him back.

“You are the best girlfriend any lad could have.” He continued.

“Maybe you should take him home,” Anne suggested coming up to us. I agreed with her, it was already 2am and a lot of the guests had left so it wouldn’t matter if we did too.

“Are you okay to finish up here?” I asked her unsure. She nodded at me. “Okay I’ll leave the front door unlocked for you and Robin. You can take the blue bedroom, I just washed the sheets.” I told her before standing up and bringing Harry with me.

I wrapped my arm around his waist before gently leading him out of the venue. He fortunately didn’t complain at all and was still able to keep up most of his own body weight. I searched for the keys in Harry’s pocket before unlocking the car doors and helping Harry into the car. By the time I reached the driver’s side I could hear light snoring coming from Harry. Smiling at his cuteness I made my way home.

I woke Harry up as best I could before helping him out of the car and into the house. The stairs were some trouble as Harry tripped and fell down them numerous times before I finally got him to the top and into our room. I got him into the shower first which woke him up enough to wash himself before he crawled onto the bed while I showered.

I expected Harry to be asleep when I came out but instead he was sitting up in bed with an envelope in his hands.

“What are you doing?” I asked him confused. He glanced up at me and I could still see the red in his eyes but it wasn’t as bad as before so I assumed he was slowly sobering up.

“I have something to give you.” He told me as I climbed into the bed next to him.

“But it’s your birthday Haz, you’re not supposed to be giving me gifts.”

“My birthday ended two and a half hours ago so it’s perfectly okay.” He smirked down at me as I rolled my eyes at him. He handed the envelope over. I watched him for a moment before taking the envelope and nervously opening it. I had no idea what could be in it.

I gasped when I pulled out two plane tickets for Australia.

“It’s kind of a present for both of us. I thought we could use a holiday and management agreed that two weeks off would be good for me. Ricky is going to send you everything you need for Uni and Paige and Casey already have our rooms ready. We leave tomorrow.” Harry told me. I looked up at him, tears in my eyes.

“Thank you,” I whispered to him before leaning forward and pressing my lips to his. His tongue worked its way into my mouth which I happily allowed as I wrapped myself up in his arms. Truly happy for once in three weeks.
