Christmas Day
Harry's POV
I watch my family smiling happily as they open their presents. I've done really well from a new coat, jumpers and boots. I'm surprised how well everyone has done this year.
Gemma has got VIP tickets for an Ed Sheeran concert for her and a friend. That's pretty epic.

But besides the presents, I like seeing my parents together as at this time of year it's supposed to be about seeing your loved ones. I feel lucky that we're all sharing this day as a family.

I can't wait to see Steph, she's already rang me first thing this morning. I didn't mind too much that she woke me up, but I think it was around half six which is quite early for me. I usually get about around eight on Christmas.

"Harry, there's one more for you." Gemma says as she passes me a large present. I help her lift it and I start to unwrap, all three of them watch me. My eyes widen as it's a guitar case and inside is an acoustic guitar.

"You said you wanted to learn how to play." Mum smiles and she mentions it's from her and Dad.

"Thanks guys!" I smile as I hug them and I look at the guitar in amazement. I have been saying that I'd like to learn for quite a while especially as I've been working with music. Now all I need is a teacher.

"Well I better check on the turkey." Mum says as she stands up and walks out to the kitchen.

I look up as my Dad offers us a round of drinks. Luckily Dad is giving us a lift over to Steph's so I can drink as much as I like. I stand up and I head into the kitchen and I lean on the counter.

"Do you need a hand?" I ask Mum and she turns to me shaking her head and smiles, she walks up to me and cups my face in her hands.

"I have to say, I am so proud of you Harry. This year you really have turned a new leaf, I never thought we'd get here but we did. I love you is much." Mum says and I can see the tears appearing in her eyes.

"I know, I got there in the end, I'm sorry it took me so long." I answer and my Mum kisses my cheek.

"Better late than never sweetheart." Mum says as she let's go of me and continues with the dinner. I smile as I watch her before pouring myself a drink.

Stephanie's POV

I unwrap the medium sized present that my brother has given to me. Last year he bought me a limited edition furby, so I stay quite wary for what I'm about to open. You can end up with literally anything from Jed. I read the print on the box out loud 'photoshoot for two and luxury day' I look at Jed and smile.

"It's an all day thing. You get breakfast in the hotel, then your hair and make up done and then you get dinner. You then stay the night too. It's in a place near the coast, I think it's in Devon. I thought maybe you and Harry could live like celebrities." Jed says with a smile.

I raise my eyebrows in shock at how much he has given me. Jed's never been one to think about presents and this is very thoughtful indeed.

"Thank you Jed." I say as my parents look at him proudly. He nods and we move on to what my parents have. Now I don't feel so bad for buying him a Manchester United signed football top on ebay.

I can't believe how lucky I have been this year, my parents have paid ten driving lessons for me and got me a new laptop as mine was really on its way out. I couldn't have asked for more.

As Dad starts to play christmas music, I leave the living room and check my outfit. Every year I wear a Christmas dress, this year Dad tried to make me wear it with my leggings as he doesn't like me to expose too much. But there's nothing wrong with wearing tights as the dress isn't as short as my Dad makes out. I guess it's just a Dad thing, being all macho and protective of their 'little' girl.



Later in the day we go on to have Christmas dinner and as usual it tastes amazing. We're all wearing a paper hat from our crackers, it feels almost tradition to wear them.
It feels good to have us all back together around the table that we've had so many family meals at. Jed's cracking jokes as he does this every Christmas, some are funny and some are just too silly, but we laugh anyway.
I glance at the time as I know I shouldn't wishing time away, but I just want Harry here. I've been waiting for this day to spend with him for ages, naturally at Christmas time it brings out the love; well for me anyway. He should be here roughly in three hours.

Harry's POV

"Harry, do you have Stephanie's present?" Mum asks and I nod as I grab the box and card.

"You all ready to go?" Dad says and Gemma grabs her coat. "Are you sure Danny doesn't want to come along?" He asks and Gemma shrugs.

"I didn't want to ask.." She says and Mum smiles and insists for her to ask him. So Gemma walks off as she dials his number.

"Harry wear your coat love, it's freezing out there." Mum says as she passes me my coat. I thank her and put it on. Dad takes some presents and head out to the car whilst we wait for Gemma.

"Is Dad going after he drops us off?" I ask and Mum nods. Just then Gemma walks towards us smiling. "Is he coming?" I ask positively.

"He can't, he's got all of the family over but I'll see him tomorrow." Gemma says as she puts her coat on.

"Okay Hun." Mum says and I follow Gemma out to the car. Mum follows us after locking up and we get inside.


The drive over is very quick as there's hardly any cars on the road. We all hug Dad goodbye as we take our bags out of the car.

"Happy Christmas Dad." I say as I hug him once more.

"Merry Christmas Son" Dad says as he lets go of me and smiles. Gemma and I both wave to him as he climbs back in and drives off. The front door opens and Jed greets us with the biggest smile.

"Merry Christmas Everyone!" He beams as he lets us inside.

"Harry!" I turn to see Stephanie walking towards me, she quickly says hello to Mum and Gemma. I admire how gorgeous she looks in her santa dress, is it bad to have such an urge to rip it off her?
Keep it clean Harry, keep it clean.

"Merry Christmas! Come on through and get some drinks" Susan smiles as she and Ryan guide us towards the kitchen. I have to say I'm impressed by their wide selection of drinks, I hesitate whether to have a beer or Vodka.

"Happy Christmas." Steph says as she puts her arm around my waist. I kiss the top of her head.

"Come with me." I say as I walk towards the hallway holding her hand. I grab her present and card and she leads me upstairs. As we walk into her room she passes me two presents. "You first." I say as I look at her and smile.

Stephanie's POV

I smile as I open the envelope and take out the card.

"Sort of felt guilty you got me a card." Harry says and I look at him and smile.

"But that's because I wanted to put the letter inside." I answer and Harry nods to the card for me to open it up. So I look down and I see two tickets. It's for the London Eye.

"Our last experience wasn't too great, so I was hoping this time we can enjoy the sights and each other's company." Harry says and I feel a lump in my throat. The memory of the London eye does make feel vulnerable as I couldn't even go on it with my friends because of what happened between Harry and I. It's very sweet of him that he wants to experience it better second time around.

"Thank you." I say and he gently lifts my chin up. "That's really sweet Harry." I add with a smile.

"You've got one more." He says as he points to the box. I take it and smile as I begin to unwrap the small box. On the front, I read 'Pandora'. I gasp as I open it.

"Harry.." I say shocked at the bracelet. He takes it out and starts to point at the charms.

"There's numbers eight and ten on here. The age we were when we last saw each other. Then eighteen and twenty because of our age now. There's a heart because I love you." He smirks and I'm close to tears as I listen and watch him point at the charms.
"This is a key, a symbol of trust that I have in you. Here's a musical note as you inspire me to write songs." He pauses as he looks at me and starts to laugh. I try to hold back the tears, but all of this is so sentimental.
"This one the swing is because of the park, many of our memories come from there," He says and I have to laugh too as he's so right. "And here's a Chinese symbol that means beauty." He says as he looks at me. The tears prick my eyes. "Obviously I got that one because you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met, inside and out." He adds and he points at the last one, I wipe the tears away as I listen and look. "The London Eye, I know our memory there wasn't great, like we just said about the tickets, but it was the one memory that made me realise I'm not strong without you. I lost you and that screwed me up so badly, that made me realise how much you helped me grow and turn into the person that I am today." As he stops I throw my arms around him.

"Thank you so much!" I say as I kiss his cheek. I've never had such a thoughtful and caring present before. "You're perfect Harry Styles." I add and he smiles as he kisses me.

"I'm glad you liked it." He says as he sits down in my bed and looks relieved that he's given it to me. I wipe the final tears and take a breath.

"My present really doesn't add up to these.." I laugh as I hand him his presents.

"Don't be silly." Harry smirks as he opens the first present, I smile as he looks at the gift card and he sees the two Spa day tickets. He looks up to me and his eyes widen.

"With all the stress we've been through, I think you deserve a proper full day of relaxing." I explain as I sit next to him.

"That's really nice of you Steph and I definitely agree, how convenient there's two tickets." He smirks as he nudges me playfully. I roll my eyes as I secretly did like the idea of going with him, it did help me purchase the tickets. I watch him as he takes the other present and starts to unwrap it, I nervously bite my lip and he gasps as he holds the large frame up. We both look at several pictures of us. I managed to get Mum to dig out some old ones of us when we were kids and there's a couple recent ones from our night out in London, cinema and last nights skating that I managed to print out last minute.

"This is amazing Steph. But there's a blank space in the middle." He says looking confused at me. I smile as I take my iphone and I reverse the camera and I hold it up.

"It's for our first christmas together." I answer and he smiles proudly. "Smile." I say as we both look at the camera, I feel his lips on my cheek and I click the round button. We both look at the photo and I smile.

"Thank you Steph, both presents are perfect." He says as he looks down at the pictures. "I'm glad you added my favourite one of us at the park." He smiles as he looks at me.

"You didn't take it with you so I thought I'd add it in." I answer as I lean my head onto his shoulder. "This christmas is going to be the best one ever." I smile as I stand up.

"It will be even better when I can rip that dress off you." He smirks as he pulls me towards him and we fall back onto the bed. I laugh as I try to get away from his grip.

"Not now, we've got drinks and food down there. We've got plenty of time later on, if you're a good boy." I tease as I stand up and wink at him. His eyes widen and I turn away from him smiling.

"Please don't wink again, otherwise you won't be leaving this room." Harry says seductively as he wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses my neck. "God, you know how to drive me crazy." He whispers. I close my eyes as I feel myself get lost in the moment as his hands begin to rise up my body.

"I promise later, but now we need to make the most of today." I say as I take his hands off me and turn to face him. He looks at me frustratedly, part of me wants to tease him and the other part of me has something up my sleeve. He doesn't realise I've got a surprise for him later, if he can't control himself with me in this dress, then he's going to like what I've got for him later.
