" So what are you doing for your birthday?" I sat down on Harry's lap as we sat in my room. My mom was at work so I called him over.

" Probably having the gang over. Go to a club. Take you home."

I blushed. His birthday was a week from today and I didn't know what to get him.

" What do you want?"

he sighed.

" You."

He tightened the hold around my waist and moved my hair over to one should exposing my neck, gently kissing it.

" Besides me."

" Your company."

" Harold. stop I'm serious."

" So am I."

I turned around to face him, straddling his lap.

" What do you want for your 22nd birthday?" I asked in a serious matter. I was getting annoyed, and he thought it was funny. He grinned.

" Maria, I already told you what I want. I want you."

I looked at him one last time before getting off his lap and storming out of my room, leaving him dumbfounded.

" Whatever Harry."

I heard him sigh and chase after me as I went down the stairs.

" Maria wait."

I turned and walked down the hallway and realized he was catching up to me.

" Stop. Go away."

he was behind me and picked up the pace before pulling me back by my waist and pushing me up against the wall.

" Don't walk away from me." He said sternly.

" Then learn how to answer simple questions!" I yelled. He let out a deep, frustrated sigh.

" Maria, I answered it as truthfully as I could. I want you and only you for my birthday. Maybe you should learn how to accept an answer."

" Harry. Let me go. I don't want to talk to you right now."

that just made him pin me against the wall harder:

" Liar." He gritted between his teeth.

" Im not lying."

" Yes you are. You love me."

I didn't reply.

" I know you love me. " He added.

" So?"

" So that means you want me to stay."

" Not really. I love my mom but I don't like when she's around." It's almost as if I stabbed him in the stomach. His eyes flashed with hurt.

" Why are you being like this?" He asked, letting me go and walking down the hall. I sighed. I shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean it. I always wanted Harry around.

I ran from my spot and surprised him when I hugged him from behind.

" Why are we fighting?" I mumbled into his back. He sighed, turning around and hugging me back.

" I don't know."

we slowly slid down the wall and cuddled on the floor.

" I love you Harry." I said.

" I love you Maria:"

And we sat like that.

" What do you think Harry would like for his birthday?" I asked, as Sandy and I looked at the clothes in Urban outfitters.

" I don't know. Have you asked him yet?"

I sighed, putting back the shirt I was holding back on the rack.

" Yes. But all he said was me."

" Awh!" she scrunched up her face, due to cuteness.

" It wasnt 'Awh', it was annoying." I rolled my eyes before picking up a cute black blouse.

" But I think I could wear this to his party. What do you think?" I asked holding it up to me. She looked it over. Me and Sandy had totally different taste so I knew I could always get an honest answer from her.

" I think it's really cute actually." She smiled.

" Good. I was hoping you'd say that. I'm getting it." I hung it off my wrist before looking at some more clothes.

" Sandy, I have to find him something before we leave." I said as we walked around the mall. We'd been here for about five hours.

" Come on let's check in here." She pulled me into a small antique store.

" Why here?" I asked looking around the small dusty shop.

" Who knows. Maybe you'll find that small hidden gem." She winked before walking to the other end of the store. I sighed and began looking around.

i looked at all the old products, until I made my way over to the glass box by the counter that held all it's jewelry. There was a silver watch, and it was extremly nice, in the middle of the showcase.

" Need any help today ma'am?" An old man came up behind the register.

" How much is that watch?" I asked pointing side the glass.

" 6 hundred."

I think I flinched.

" Oh wow."

He saw my reaction.

" It's a beauty though right? Been in my family for as long as I can remember. Quite a special peice of wrist wear right there."

I looked at it one last time. Everytime I tried to tell the man 'never mind', I just couldn't. There was something about that watch that made me want it.

" You know what, ill take it." I said pulling my purse out onto the counter and taking my credit card from my wallet.

The man pulled it from the case and put it in a black velvet box before wrapping it in brown paper and putting It in a bag.

" £600 is your total. Careful, it's a very rare jewlrey. Theres only one other watch of that year and brand left."

When he said it like that, I think I got a pretty good deal for only 600. I warmly smiled at him as he handed it over.

" Thank you sir."

" No, thank you."

i walked towards the door and saw Sandy standing there waiting.

" So did you find it?" She smiled. I nodded.

" Yep. I think I found my hidden gem."
