All I Want For Christmas Is You

I walked back to the park and sat on one of the red picnic tables alone. The children had left the park from being here before.

I pulled my phone out of my shorts pocket and rolled it around in my hand. I had to do it.

I dialed the number. She picked up.

Me: "Hey Cara?"
Cara: "Yes babe?"
Me: "We need to talk,"
Cara: "Oh that's fine, I mean I am a bit busy at the moment, but we can talk once you get back from New York or wherever,"
Me: "No, I need to talk now,"
Cara: *yells something to someone in the distance* "Okay Harry, please I really need to go though so make it quick,"
Me: "I don't care what management says, but we are over," (shocked that I was so blunt)
Cara: ...
Me: "Look, I --"
Cara: "You found someone else. I get it. No problem. I can do that in heartbeat," (she sounded upset)
Me: "I'm tired of living a lie, and no I didn't meet anyone knew... I knew her before we got together,"
Cara: "Oh really now? And you didn't bother to tell me?"
Me: "Look Cara, I'm sorry,"
Cara: "Shut the hell up and leave me alone and never call me again,"

She hangs up.

Well that was easy.

Cat better be worth it.... and I know she is.

I made another phone call, to Karla's parents, and I spoke to them. My plan is working perfectly.

HOURS LATER:

Karla texted me the time Cat got off of work and I made sure to meet her outside... and I did have to wait half an hour.

The sun was getting low in the sky making the streaks of oranges yellows reds and pinks paint across the sky like a painting masterpiece. It was beautiful.

I saw her come out of the door and watched as she smiled and waved to someone inside. She untied her hip apron and carried it with her to her... motorcycle?

I had to do this. It was for the good.

I jogged over to her and pulled her body to mine, pressing her lips on mine. Everything was raised. My spirits my enthusiasm, my happiness. Until she pushed me back.

"Harry. I told you, you have to prove it to get me back," she said, not phasing, sliding the motorcycle helmet on her head. I took it off of her and held it high so she couldn't reach it. "I didn't know you rode a bike?" I said with smirk, watching her intently as she jumped and bounced to grab the helmet from my palm. I giggled and handed it back to her. "Well... I was running late for work and this is my neighbor's," she said setting her helmet on her seat. She turned back to me and I couldn't stop smiling. She was so gorgeous.

"Why are you still here?" she laughed. And my smile faded. "Well... I ....," I hesitated for the right words. "Listen.. I didn't want to be cliche and prove it to you by buying you something or surprising you with a trip to your hometown..." I started. "I want to prove myself back to you by being here with you and promising not to leave you.... ever," I finished, grasping her warm hand in mine. I looked up and her face was pale, and she was breathing heavily. "I'm sorry if I made the wrong decision... I mean I have been texting you for months but I got no answer, and I didn't know what else to do today... so I broke up with Cara," I added, looking down. Cat yelled, "Are you serious you broke up with an international supermodel for me?!" I giggled. "I believe you are far much more pretty than Cara could ever be. Inside and out," I said in a raspy voice as I did the pleasure of pushing a strand of hair from Cat's bangs behind her ear. "And I can land you a job," I added and her face smiled more than it already was. "What?" she asked, wanting to know more. "Since none of the magazine companies need any journalists, you are coming with us... if you don't mind.... on the rest of our tour and hopefully forever?" I asked, hoping she would agree, but I could never promise anything with a girl like Cat. She giggled as she looked down. "Harry, you don't have to," "I know," I said, tilting her head to gaze into my eyes.

CAT'S POV:

I stared into his eyes, not believing what he just offered me. A job. In One Direction basically... to be their own personal journalist and go on tour with them. I nodded and his smile grew a mile wide, as he beared his perfect straight teeth. He hugged me tight. "So it's official. You can quit your job at this place," he said throwing his hand to indicate the BBQ restaurant. I laughed. "Thank God. I hate working here!" I added as I uncontrollably smiled. But then my smile faded. "What about Karla?" I asked Harry and he shook his head. "No worries. Don't tell but I know a secret. I think Niall is going to ask her to come to be our photographer," he said with a wink and I stared at him in shock. "How am I ever going to get permission to do this?" I asked, "And Karla too, do you really think--" "I already spoke and they agreed to let her go. They say she is old enough to leave the nest," he said, making a bird shape with his hands flying away. I chuckled. "Aunt Mae and Uncle Tyler surely won't care," I said, gazing at the ground.

Harry tilted my head up again. There was a long silence before he spoke. But it was comfortable silence in the parking lot. "From the moment I saw you in the dressing room, I never wanted to leave you," he started and I felt my body heat up with anxiousness. "And spending Christmas with you was out of luck because of Grandpa Selley," he laughed and I joined in the laughter. "Yeah, that was pretty lucky eh?" I asked and Harry nodded. "And I can't wait for all the adventures we will have in life," He smiled. I smiled back and I did the honor to pull his face towards mine as I sat down on the motorcycle seat, but Harry picked me up, causing he to yelp a little out of surprise. "Does that prove myself to you again?" he asked, noting him coming back to see me, breakin up with a supermodel, and asking me to go on tour with them no matter what management did. I hesitated to watch his reaction but I soon nodded excitedly. "You already did... By coming back for me," "Cat.. I will always come back for you, even if its snowing and -23 degrees outside on your birthday!" I laughed at his statement. And I pulled his face close to mine again. Our noses touched. "You know... I did a lot of firsts with you, you know?" I asked, making him remember the good and bad. He hesitated and softly agreed. "Well, now we get to last a lifetime, because just warning you... I will never leave you," I laughed and he laughed to, pulling me closer. He kissed me gently and pulled back. "Good," he said in his raspy voice as he kissed me again. The sun set as we did so and the stars quickly came out and everything was magical and everything was perfect.

BACK AT THE HOUSE:

It was dark outside and I walked into the door, hand in hand with Harry. I was greeted first by Katie who smiled her face out. "I TOLD YOU!" she yelled and repeated as she ran upstairs. I rolled my eyes and apologized to Harry but he only chuckled. Karla was sitting on a barstool at our "bar". She was smiling, and then she saw Harry and I together and freaked out like Katie did. "Okay okay Karla. Calm yourself!" I giggled and she calmed down quickly and then showed me her phone. "IM GOING ON TOUR WITH THEM NIALL KNOWS HOW I LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES AND STUFF AND I GET TO BE THE OFFICIAL JOURNALIST PHOTOGRAPHER!" "I GET TO GO TOO AS A JOURNALIST!" I yelled and we fangirled together as we hugged and bounced in a circle as Harry rolled his eyes and jumped in our fangirlyness and jumped around with us. "AND MY PARENTS SAID I CAN!" Karla added and we screamed again. "Looks like everything is turning out so perfectly," I said, thinking about how horrible my life was at the beginning of the London trip, with mom dying and the car crashes. But then my mind reverted back to the now and it made me smile. Everything really was going perfectly.

Val ran downstairs and smiled at me. "Did you hear Karla's news? Do you get to go?" she asked and I nodded excitedly again. "Guess what Cat?! I get to get adopted!" she cried of happiness and I cocked my head at her, my smile fading. Harry tapped my shoulder and I turned to him. "Adopted?" I asked and he shrugged. "Lou Teasdale our hairdresser? Yeah, she loved Val to pieces and I figured it would be okay since we are always with her.. You know since you love your sister so much and we love her too, even my mum. So we want her to be able to go on the road with us. She said Lux is her best friend so I think it will work nicely," he finished and I smiled, and I felt tears begin to appear on the corners of my eyes. I couldn't believe this. I guess I will have a happy ending. Me and Karla both journalists on the road with One Direction, the biggest boyband in the world... and I get to stay with Harry forever (I guess :D ) and Val is getting adopted to someone who will love her and we will get to see her all the time. This is great. but then I remembered Katie, Aunt MAe and Uncle Tyler. "What about my family?" I asked Harry and he smiled again. I think he had this all planned and figured out before today.. or maybe he didn't... I don't know... "We get to visit your family as much as I visit mine. No worries," he said and I hugged him again very tightly and I hugged Val tight and Karla and anyone who was near. this time tears began to flow... but these were happy tears. "Harry thank you for the best birthday present ever! You have no idea how much this means to me!" I cried and Harry held out his arms for me to bombard in. He hugged me tight and set his chin on top of my head like those romantic pictures in movies. Everything was perfect.

"Thank you for coming back for me," I said as I sniffled. Harry smiled. "Remember? All I wanted for Christmas was you and I got my wish," and he gently set his lips on mine as his fingers wove through mine again. I felt the familiar touch and it made me smile. Everything was perfect.
