All I Want For Christmas Is You

I slid my phone back into my pocket, as I looked at the pile of presents Harry was digging in. Gemma laughed as she picked up a box covered in a terrible wrapping job. "Hmm... I wonder who this is from," she laughed as she glared at Harry. Harry shrugged and grinned sillily. "I made it pretty," he said as he touched the wrapping paper, but Gemma pulled it from his hands. She unwrapped it and it was a new jacket. "Oh, you got me a Burberry Coat! Harry you didn't have to! I love it!" she exclaimed as she pulled her little brother into a hug.

Anne and Robin opened their presents from the kids, and from each other, and then handed gifts to the cousins. They all cheered at their presents, and then the gift pile was getting lower. Harry lifted the top of the presents, and demolished the what was left of the pile of presents. He sat back down and looked confused. He sat there for a moment, rubbing his neck, and then his face lit up as he sprang up and ran into his room. "Where ya going?" Gemma called out after him, but he didn't answer. Gemma rolled her eyes and I giggled. Typical.

I felt my phone vibrate again. And again, and I looked to see if anyone was looking at me, hearing the vibration, and they were.

"I'm sorry, I think I need to get this," I apologetically said as Anne nodded in approval. I looked down at the screen. It was Louis again. I might as well answer it.

I walked outside, in the cold, and stood and leaned against the wall. I hit it harder than I meant, knowing I made a loud noise inside. Oh well.

I hesistantly slided the screen to answer. Then I weakly answered.

Me: "Hello?"
Louis: "Oh God Cat. I need to talk to you,"
Me: "Why?"
Louis: "Where are you, we need to talk,"
Me: "Probably not where you are,"
Louis: "Obviously... Because I just finished dinner with my family in Doncaster,"
Me: "Well, I'm not in London anymore,"
Louis: "So you went home?" I heard a twinge of sadness in his voice.
Me: "..."
Louis: "It's alright. I just wanted to apologize because a little birdie told me a secret,"
Me: "About what?"
Louis: "Harry,"
Me: "What about Harry?"
Louis: "Something,"
Me: "Tell me,"
Louis: "You have to forgive me first. I feel so horrible for being the way I was. I guess, well I know you and Harry will be better off together. I already heard the news about you too getting back together. It's trending. Hashtag CatAndHarryBackTogether. Anyway... Please... forgive me and I'll tell you,"
Me: *deeply sighs* "Fine,"
Louis: "Okay, yay. Now that that is out of the way--"
Me: "Just because I forgave you doesn't mean I am not still upset about it,"
Louis: "Please, I'm sorry. I really am. I have never been that stupid,"
Me: "Well now that you put it that way..."
Louis: "haha!"
Me: "Okay... continue,"
Louis: "Well, a little birdie told me that Harry --" - Louis gets interrupted as Harry walks out the door to greet Cat.

I slammed my phone into my pocket, not hanging up. Harry looked at me confused. "Who was that?" he curiously asked, not being upset or anything. I shrugged, as I fumbled with my pocket it was shoved in. "Well, I want to talk to you," he said, leading me to the corner of the house. I felt my stomach turn. Why did he want me so alone with him?

"Listen, I know we just met, but you are well.... you are the one. And I am not afraid to shout it to the world," he said as he pulled out a little black box, the size of half his palm, behind his back. I think my heart jumped up to my throat.
