Carrington Hill

Whenever I spent time with Harry, I always treasured it because I never knew when I was going to see him again. These next three days were not going to be any different either because I will only get to be with him next year after this. Which sucks but I'm also really excited. Personally, I feel as though being in a long distance, or more like distance relationship because we're not that far from one another on the daily, makes everything exciting. It is exciting as whenever we get to be together it's never the same, the butterflies in my stomach never really go away and that first hug after ages feels so fucking nice every single time.

"Hey I've got you your silly Christmas present," I remembered out of nowhere. We were sat on the couch with our legs on the table in the middle, the TV was on even though neither of us was watching it.

Since it was Harry's day off, we decided to just stay inside for the most part since the dinner with his family was going to take place tonight. It was currently five so probably a right time to start getting ready however I had to give him my presents first.

"Right, so we said funny presents this is why I got you these," I grinned as I took a few wrapped up pieces out of a white plastic bag. They were all nicely wrapped, even put a bow on them to make them look pretty and festive.

"Oh, here we go," he laughed at me as he sat up, his phone slid down on to the couch and he pushed his fingers through his hair. I sat down on one of the puffs and looked up at him in his cosy state. "Right, let's start with this one," he took the cylinder-shaped item. Keeping my laughter back was beginning to be a rather hard task even though we were only at the first gift.

He unwrapped it ever so carefully to make sure the wrapping paper didn't rip. This caused a bit of tension to develop in the room, my eyes kept flickering between his hands and his face.

"Hurry up," I laughed and his smile just widened but didn't look up. The top of his cheeks came to a point and his dimples deepened with his action.

And then he threw his head back and laughed out loud. My lips parted as I watched him, my tongue ran over my bottom lip to wet it and he shook his head when he looked back at me.

"You got me a bottle of Febreze."

"I have cos you stink," I remarked while he let out a little laugh. "It's blossom and breeze scented so your home, especially your toilet will smell amazing."

"Thanks babe, I appreciate that," he grinned. "I needed a new one anyway."

"You need more than one bottle but whatever."

"True," he agreed. "Alright, let's see this one."

Next, he took the rectangle shaped one, this time he opened it more eagerly. Then, his reaction was just as priceless as before if not more so once he saw what the wrapping paper hid from him.

"Are you kidding me?" he laughed while flipping the item around, looking at it as if he'd never seen one before.

"Look, it's quality!" I said half seriously but inside dying from laughter. A few chuckles left my lips, of course. I leaned over to him, my elbow was on his knee as I turned the object back to the front. "Andrex, that's really good! You have that toilet roll anyway."

"True that is good quality," he said, nodding. "Now my toilet won't stink and my ass will be cleaner than when I was born thanks to these wipes."

"You're welcome babe," I grinned up at him, my eyes squinted. It took me by surprise when I felt him press a light kiss on my lips but I smiled anyway because I loved it. "Alright I got you a few more bits. They're for both of us, kind of. Everything is kind of for both of us if you really think about is but let's pretend it's all for you."

"Who would have thought, ey?" he said as he snickered. "Mkay, hit me with what you got."

"Right, so one," I gave him one of the little bottles. He began to unwrap it right away and I swear his eyes lit up like a decorated Christmas tree.

"You really got me a bottle of black nail polish?"

"Well, it is in your hands so yeah. I did," I smiled and he pouted before he leaned in a kissed me again.

"I love you bebe," he whispered with sparkling eyes, happy smile and all.

"Bebe?" I asked back, clearly surprised but also rather fond of the pet name. "That's new."

"It's Spanish for baby or babe. I'm not too sure. You learnt Spanish in school so I thought why not call you that?"

"Aw. Where did it come from anyway? Just thought of it or what?"

"Someone on Twitter replied with that under one of your tweets. So, I just typed it in google and boom."

"Cute," I scrunched up my nose with a smile. "Anyways, I got you that because I was just being a snoopy girlfriend and searched up your photoshoots in the middle of trying to figure out what to get you."

"As you do," he interrupted.

"I have to know what my mans done in the past, don't I?" I asked ironically. "Right, so I was going through this specific one and I saw you had painted nails and I was just staring at the pictures in awe. Like you really did that!"

"Yeah, I tend to step out of my comfort zone, or more so what people think is out of my comfort zone."

"That's really good. Makes you different in a good way, I suppose. But yeah, I saw that and was like damn, I have to get him nail polish because I need to see him with it on."

"I love that, honestly, thank you so much, Carrie."

"You're welcome and holy shoot, you haven't called me Carrie in ages."

"You notice everything today, don't you?" he asked and I just shrugged in response. "So is that all? Can I have my turn now?"

"Technically, yes that's all. In reality, I also got you a phone case but-," I lifted my phone up which had the case on it. "I kind of knicked it? I mean you can have it if you want but I actually really like it."

"Oh," he said. "Well, I want it so give it," he told me as he put his hand out, his voice stern yet still playful.

"Jokes, I was gonna give it to you."

"Whatever, sunshine. You would have kept it."

"Maybe."

"Your initials are not H and S so hurry up, take it off and give it to me."

I laughed at him as I took the case off and gave it to him. Obviously, I wasn't going to keep the case because I got it for him but I just wanted to see what he would say.

"Nice, I love that," he said once he popped the case on his phone. Which was the same one as mine. Even to the colour and the finish. "Okay, my turn!"

"Okay go."

"I only got you two things and you will murder me for one of them because I may or may not have broken one of the rules."

"Which rule?"

"The one you set about prices. I may have gone over twenty pounds."

"The limit wasn't even twenty, it wasn't even ten!" I stated and he shrugged. "Alright, well, since you spent that money show me what you got."

"No, wait, you're getting the silly one first."

"Sure, fine, go ahead."

"Okay, let me get it first," he laughed while he got up from the couch and made his way out of the room. I heard him run up the stairs then minutes later he was back down. "So, catch this one," he said while he already threw the present at me.

"Oh, this feels kinda heavy. Is this the expensive one?"

"No," he shook his head. "It's the funny one. I told you I'm giving you that first."

"Oh my god," I laughed when I unwrapped it and found a bottle of shower gel in there. It was for men and to be even more specific, it was the one he used. "I love this, Harry!" I told him seriously, my eyes bored into his as I brought the bottle to my chest and completely engulfed it in a hug.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, what the hell? I love using your shower gel when I'm here so now I'll get to use it at home, too."

"I know you love it, you mention it every time you use it or you smell it on me. I thought it'd be funny."

"It is funny, it's great," I chuckled. "I wanted to buy one for myself but I always forgot it."

"Well, now you don't have to," he said. "Anyways, the other gift. This is the slightly more expensive one. Not so much. Also, I was meant to give it to you on your birthday but when I went down to yours, I forgot about it, then when we went to Shanghai, I forgot about it, again. So, I decided to give you it as a Christmas present."

"Stop tempting me just tell me what it is!" I said excitedly.

"Here you go," he gave me the box and then put his hands behind his back. I looked at the neatly wrapped box then up at him. His eyes were focusing on the gift in my hands so my gaze quickly averted back to it as well.

I flipped it to open it up slowly then looked back up at him as I took the paper off of it. My lips parted widely when I opened up the box that hid a beautiful necklace. It laid on the black cushion and the golden coloured medal caught the light from outside so it shone beautifully.

"It's your birthstone hence why I planned on giving it as a birthday gift," Harry explained quietly as I lifted the jewellery out of its place. The part that went around the neck dangled down as I kept the medal part up on my fingers.

"This is so pretty, Harry," I told him with a happy smile and quickly undid the clasp on it. Once it was around my neck I twisted it around so that it was on the right way. "How does it look?"

"Like it was made for you," he grinned as the cheesy compliment left his lips. I rolled my eyes a little and laughed then wrapped my arms around his middle as I gave him a tight hug. "So you like it then?"

"I absolutely adore it, thank you so so so much babe!" I exclaimed and he just smiled. "If I only knew you were going to get me something serious I would have done the same."

"I loved what you got me, seriously," he said which made me look at him questioningly. "I am seriously serious. I really do like everything, don't even look at me like that."

"Okay, well, thank you for mine anyways. I genuinely am so happy with the shower gel and the necklace too."

"Knew that the shower gel will win it for me," he winked as he sat back down on the couch. "By the way, I asked him to come."

"What?" I asked back curiously. "Asked who to come to what?"

"You know what I'm on about."

"No, I-, oh," I smirked and sat on his lap. My arms went around his neck while one of his wrapped around my waist and the other rested on my thighs. "What made you do that?"

"Take a wild guess."

"You want to have a relationship with your brother?"

"No."

"You want to prove you're the better man?"

"Sort of."

"Well, I don't know then. Why?"

"Because you told me to."

"Hey, don't put this on me!" my forehead creased and I puckered my lips at him. "I just told you that you should while you can."

"That is exactly why I told mum to get him to come, too," he replied. "I wasn't about to invite him personally. Then mum just said that she was gonna bring him whether I wanted him there or not which actually pissed me off a bit. Like why is she inviting him if I didn't invite him?"

"What matters is that everyone's coming and it's going to be lovely, okay?"

"If you say so," he sighed. I bobbed his nose with my finger then kissed it and he tackled us down on the couch. My back was against the cushions and he was on top of me, his cross necklace hit my chin as it came out from under his shirt. "Oops."

"Kisses?" I puckered my lips at him to which he pulled a thinking face then gave me what I wanted nonetheless. "When are we leaving for dinner anyway?"

"We have a reservation for seven."

"Harry, it's five now. Where is your family? And I need to get ready, get off of me," I pushed at his chest but he only let his weight go and he collapsed on top of me. "Harry, get off."

"They're meeting us at the restaurant. And you have time to get ready, why are you panicking?"

"I'm doing a full face tonight and I don't even know what I'm wearing. I just brought a ton of clothes that could possibly work."

"Don't need to dress too fancy. I'm only wearing jeans and a shirt."

"Okay, cool," I answered. "Time to get ready!"

"Think I'll get a shower to freshen up and all," he told me as he pushed himself up, his hand went through his hair again to fix it.

"No time for showers for me."

"Well, since you'll be taking my bathroom upstairs, I'll use the one downstairs."

"Are you seriously gonna go through that trouble?" I laughed as I got up from the couch. "You can use the shower while I'm in there, you know."

"Cool, nevermind then," I shook my head and we both went upstairs to get ready to a meal that was probably going to be really interesting.
