"Bridget you know you can tell me." Harry keeps persisting
"Harry for the billionth time there is no surprise party for you" I say as we play the playstation.
"Really" He pouts and I poke my tongue at him.

It is Harry's eighteenth in a couple days and he keeps asking me if I have planned anything.

"I even have my speech prepared." He pauses the game and stands.

"Thank you everyone so much for coming, I had no idea. Oh and look a stripper" He laughs while I just look at him as he sits back down.

"Look apart from a dinner with me and your family there is nothing. I mean maybe I can plan something small but it won't be-------"

"No it's fine" He comes to the real realisation.

My phone then goes off and it's mum. "Who loves you" Harry nudges me, "its just my mum" I text her back she has been acting weird lately. Then another text comes through,


"What the hell does he want" Harry pokes his head to my phone and gets annoyed Luke is texting me.

"Hi just a friend Harry" I remind him
"Yea a friend who texts you all the time" He raises an eyebrow, but I ignore it.

"Yes a friend Harry." I remind him again, he then gets up and picks up a plates we were eating from. I then follow him into his kitchen.

He puts the plates in the sink and I snake my arms around his waist. I lean my forehead against his back. "What are you doing" He bluntly says , he turns around. "What I love you" i grin but he remains silent, he cannot be upset over this.

"His just a friend Harry."
"Yea a friend who wants you." He says.
"That's not true," I say. "Don't you trust me?" I ask curiously.
"Of course I trust you, it's him I don't trust" typical guy response.

I wrap my arms around his neck. "Read my lips. I LOVE YOU"
He finally kisses me. "Hey let's go for a walk" I take his hand, "what why?"
"Because you love me" I tease. "Only because I love you." We leave his house.


"Wait here a second." We pull up to my house. I get in and see a suitcase by the front door.

"Mum, Dad" I yell out,
"Bridget" dad sees me "Whats with the ----"
"Sorry honey I have to go" He runs out of the house. "Mum" I call for her and see her in the kitchen I decide to sit beside her.

"Mum is everything ok, dad left in a hurry."
"Oh yea he has to go away for work that's all" I feel a wave of relief wash over me.

"I'll see you later." I stand up "are you sure you are ok?"
Mum just nods.
I go into my room and get some money and go back to Harry outside.

"Hey is your dad ok, he just rushed out of here." Harry even noticed, "yea his busy with work. let's go." i take his hand.






"Are you sure your ready for this?" Perries ask me as us girls sit down and wait my turn.
"Yes I have a very high threshold for pain" I flick through a magazine.
"Harry is going to freak." El repeats for the millionth time today. We then hear giggling and it's Sophia on the phone in the corner speaking with Liam and we all chuckle.

"They are beyond cute" Perrie comments.

"BRIDGET RILEY" My name is called out. I stand up and take Perrie in with me.





"Did it hurt" El says as I walk out, "A bit of discomfort but I'm good,"
"What's the plan now?" Berries asks, "Im hungry" Sophia who is finally off the phone comments.
"Ok how about lunch." I say and the all nod. "Wait when are you to tell him?" Sophia says.
"After lunch." I take a deep breath.


We have all finished lunch and now I am off to the gym to tell Harry.
"Good luck honey." Perrie hugs me and then Soph and El "call us later" I nod to El.

I walk in the gym and spot Harry lifting weights looking sexy as hell.
"Hey" He startles a bit and his sweaty lips connect to mine. "You got a sec" I ask as he wipes his face with a towel. "Are you ok?"
"Yea all good, just need a minute." I smile best I can.

I take his hand and take him to the men locker rooms. "Bridget were gonna get in trouble" He acts all goodie all of a sudden. "Who cares" I rebound

"Close your eyes" I instruct and he does.

"Ok open" My back is facing him and I wait for a response.

"OH MY GOD YOU HAVE YOUR NAME ON YOUR LOWER BACK" He traces his finger along my lower back where I got his name tattooed. "That's so hot" He laughs. I pull my pants back up and turn and wrap my hands around his neck.

"Bridget, you know those things are permanent."

"Thanks captain obvious. Well your stuck with me forever" I kiss him

---

"Happy Birthday honey" Anne hugs Harry and hands him his gift and he is quick to unwrap it.
"Thanks mum, boxers" He chuckles. "I got you a seven pack, one for every day of the week" I can't help but laugh.

"Here you go brother" Declan hands his gift. "Thanks man.."

Dec got him a gym session with a PT.

"Yea well your session starts in about an hour."

I look at the time. "Sorry I need to get going." I announce, "what why?" Harry reflexes back
"I promised dad I would help him at the VET but I'll be back later for your dinner. "I peck his cheek.


I walk down the street as I finish a text message. I feel bad for lying to Harry I really do I'm not meeting my dad at the VET. I then stop and see him sitting. I walk over to the table outside the store and take a seat.


"Hey thanks for coming Luke."
