Something Great

Rebecca's P.O.V~

We were in the car on the way back to the flat. I was looking out the window, thinking about the night's events and sort of regretting the attitude chosen for the evening, when I felt a small tap on my shoulder.

"It's gonna be okay, love. He'll see you eventually and if not, you're better off without the lad."

"Thanks, Eleanor. I just can't believe I fell for a guy like him." I put my head in my hands.

"It's okay! We all have feelings we can't control. Either it works out or it doesn't as long as you don't lose yourself while figuring it out." Gigi chimed in.

As we continued the conversation, we parked in the driveway. Getting inside we gathered around the living room and talked about how I was going to show Harry how I feel about him and how I was gonna keep it to myself, discussing options like that.

I was in the middle of ranting about the night when everyone else from the other car walked into the flat. We all got silent.

We changed the subject to my birthday celebration. We talked and planned for several hours before I started to get drowsy and went to my room.

One minute I was reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban then I blacked out. The next thing I knew, the mattress shifted, signifying another person got onto the bed. As soon as they wrapped their muscular arms around my torso, I knew who it was. I moved closer to Harry and we fell asleep in each other's arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, I awoke to, what I thought was, my alarm. Opening my eyes and examining my surroundings I noticed Harry wasn't next to me anymore. Then, I heard singing so I turned around and found everyone gathered around me singing my favourite song.
Once we finished singing and laughing, I got dressed and the girls took me to the mall.
The car ride was full of gossip, laughter, and just having fun. Now, when we got inside, that's where the questions started.

"Why was a certain somebody in your bed this morning?" Eleanor nudged me.

"Uh, I have no idea," I replied entering Hollister.

"Don't give me that bull." Gigi squeaked.

"He isn't into me! I couldn't sleep so I guess I asked him to stay and next thing I know I blacked out with his arms around me and my face nuzzled into his chest," I said nonchalantly.
The girls dropped their jaws.

"You mean you asked him to spend the night?" Cheryl gasped.

"And he did it??" El sputtered.

"Yeah... is that weird? I mean, he's like my best friend." I mutter.

"Mhmm." They said in unison.

As I comb through the racks of rompers, I hear chattering next to me. I turn and notice the girls stop their conversation and look at me innocently.

Time passes as we move from store to store then to the food court then to more stores and we had bags on bags on bags. By the time we were done, it was 11:30 and we had around 14 bags each.

The ride home was full of even more questions than inside the shops. 'What's going to happen with you guys?' 'Do you want anything to happen?' 'Ew, what about Valerie?' And so on. My answers were vague because I wasn't sure of the answers. I was in my thoughts until we got home and opened the front door.

"Surprise!!!" I was caught off-guard by every person I am close to shouting and cheering.

The flat was decorated in red and black streamers and glitter balloons and confetti littered the floor along with loose balloons. All of my friends were in a line holding champagne glasses except for Harry. I practically screamed when I saw what was in his hands.

When I say I sprinted to him, I mean sprinted! My arms embraced the tiny pup and squeezed Harry into a hug.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you!! She is everything I'll ever need in my life. Oh my god, she is so adorable!" I sobbed. Yes, I was crying.

"Bex, don't cry. I spent all day looking for the perfect puppy. Her name is Gina and she's-"
"She's a white German Shepard! Ugh, I love her!" I interrupted.

"Oi, wait until you open the rest of the presents before you choose your favourite!" Louis pouted.

"Let's head to the sitting room," Zayn suggested.

There was a throne type chair by the fireplace with gifts of varying sizes. I took my place, with Gina at my feet, and everyone sat around me. El stood next to me and began handing me presents one by one.

The first was from Cheryl and Liam. I tore open the silver wrapping to find a glass box about the size of both of my fists with a shiny, black border and a white letter 'R' on the lid.

"Awe guys! I love it!" I got up and hugged them both. I returned to my seat just as Eleanor handed me another gift.

Time passed by and I had a pillow with everyone's names on it from Gigi and Zayn, a triple star silver necklace from Niall, a picnic backpack from Louis and Eleanor, and, lastly, another necklace, this one from Harry, in the shape of half a heart with the letters 'B' and 'F' engraved on it.

"Where is the other half?" As if on cue, he pulled out his key-chain to reveal the missing piece of the heart with the letter 'F' engraved. He put the pieces together and the letters spelt 'BFF'.

"Awe, Harry!" I hugged him and gave him a peck on the cheek causing us both to blush.

"God damn it, Harry! Stop one-upping us!" Niall complained.

"Sorry, lad. Better luck next year." He shrugged with a smirk.

The girls and I ran up to my room and changed into the outfits we set out last night and then ran back down, putting on our heels at the door.

"Guys!" Everyone turned to me. "I'm hungry. Let's go!"

We ran to the cars and went to Olive Garden. Lunch was pretty uneventful. Just full of eating a shit ton of breadsticks and pasta. Afterwards, all of us met up at a bar to start our bar hopping adventure. We took Uber after Uber to all the bars in the city with no signs of slowing down. That was until we got to the fourth one.

The girls and I walked in, arms locked, and b-lined to the dance floor, only seconds before fangirls got whiff of the boys.

As we were showing off our moves, a random guy came up behind me and started caressing my waist. I turned around only to see the man I never thought I would see again.

My ex-boyfriend, Logan.

My eyes widened in fear as I backed away from him slowly.

"What are you doing here?" I gasped.

"I came to see my special girl." Logan pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear. I flinched away.

"Don't touch me."

"Awe, babe. You're so cute when you're agitated."

By that time, Eleanor and Cheryl were behind me, observing.

"Please get away from me," I said, voice shaking.

"Why? I just want to take back what was once mine."

"Keyword is 'was', mate." I looked around to discover the entire group and some clubbers surrounding Logan and me.

Louis and Harry stepped forward creating a wall between us, since they're the most protective of me, while Niall pulled me away.

"What's going on?" He questioned.

"I will explain later," I replied. The Irishman nodded, eyebrows furrowed.

"We got a problem, mate?" Louis grumbled.

"No problem. Just chatting," Logan grimaced.

"How did you find her?" Harry knew about my... situation... as well as the fact that my ex-boyfriend was the reason I moved all those years ago.

"I know a guy."

"You better get out of here before we all do something we regret." Liam challenged.

Logan looked around the pub. Every person was focused on us and a circle was formed, waiting to see what happened next. He looked back at me, winked, and made his way through the crowd to the exit.

The night continued as if nothing happened, but I couldn't shake the fear and anxiety that followed laying eyes on the bloke that ruined me. The boys stuck to me like glue, which I didn't mind. I felt extremely guarded with them close to me. We danced, we drank, we ate, we danced and drank some more. By the time we finished going from pub to pub, we were shit-faced.

Everyone caught their own Uber to their own flat since we were unable to drive. While Harry and I got into ours, I stumbled slightly and fell into the back seat. We laughed like drunken idiots. Looking back, I feel incredibly bad for our driver because we were a complete mess. Hey, at least we didn't puke all over the poor lad's wheels.

We stumbled up to the front door of our flat giggling like school girls and made our way towards the sitting room. Harry plopped himself on the floor and I threw myself onto the couch, my face buried into the cushions.

"Well, tonight was eventful," He muttered.

"Indeed it was." My voice was muffled from a pillow. I sat up and tapped the spot next to me. Harry got up from his spot and took the place closest to me. I glanced at Harry, admiring his features. His jawline... eyes... lips. He looked up and saw me before I could turn away. His seductive, emerald green eyes studied my grey ones as if he was trying to read my mind.

The two of us stared at each other for what seemed like hours. Before I knew it, I was crashing my lips onto his. I am not sure whether it was the booze or my feelings for him or both. All I knew was that I wanted him severely. Once I noticed he wasn't kissing back, I pulled away immediately. I caught a glimpse of his stunned expression as I hid my face in my hands to mask my embarrassment.

"I-I'm sorry. I think I'm too drunk. I'm gonna go to my room n-now." I got up and started for the stairs.

"Bex, wait!" Harry wrapped his hand around my waist and spun me around to face him, causing us to stumble. I literally felt like I was in a movie. He pulled me in closer and stared into my soul with eyes full of lust.

"Please don't tease me," I begged. "I don't know if I can take it."

He ran his fingers through my long hair and ended by cupping my face and kissing me. He, then, lead me to his bedroom and carefully laid me across the mattress hovering over me.

"You don't know how long I've waited for this moment." He stated in a raspy voice as he slurred his words.

"Stop talking and kiss me," I demanded. Harry did as he was told and closed the small gap between us.

His lips were so soft it was like making out with a cloud. I tangled my fingers in his curls, pulling him closer in order to deepen our kiss. He moved from my mouth to my neck to my chest.

Now, I'm not going to go into much detail but, let's just say, this was the best birthday ever.
