Dear Santa.

Chapter 15

Harry snuck in beside me making the table rather crowded, looking around the table I watched as everyone talked. Eleanor and Niall had been moved together and the two were happily talking. I felt sorry for her, Louis should have been sitting next to her, but instead he was off sulking somewhere. Perrie and Zayn were cute together, the male was resting his chin on the two talked together smiling lovingly at each other. Liam and Stella were talking about dinner. It was cute. Liam’s face lit up with a wide smile and I could see how much he liked her. I watched as she twirled her hair around her finger and every now and again her teeth caught her bottom lip.

However my attention was pulled away when I felt Harry’s hand rest on my thigh and his chin rested on my shoulder his warm, minty breath blowing on my cheek. His other arm snaked around my waist enveloping me as he pulled me closer to his body.

“Do you think they would mind if I stole you for a few hours?” he whispered into the shell of my ear.

“Yes, I do, I have made plans Mister Styles and I am going to stick to them,” I whispered back but couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face.

“Well you better not forget about our plans for later,” he growled lightly his hand beginning to trail up my thigh causing my breath to stutter. Inhaling deeply I gripped his hand stopping it from moving any further, instead I laced my fingers with his, an annoyed sigh fell from his lips and I couldn’t help but giggle.

“So, Olive, where to next?” it was Niall who spoke up. A cheeky grin was spread across his face along with Eleanor. They both must have picked up on what was going on under the table. I shrugged my shoulders.

“Dunno, Stel?” I asked turning my head to look at my friend who had been conversing with Liam. I watched as she turned back to look at me she too shrugged her shoulders. Perrie chuckled before getting to her feet.

“Come on then.” I was surprised when she got to her feet and spoke. I held back a laugh at the startled looks that spread across Zayn’s face at her sudden movement. “Let’s get out of here.”

“Uh… Where are we going?”

“On an adventure,” she beamed Niall and Eleanor were quick to their feet wide smile spread across their faces. Stella and I looked at each other before shrugging our shoulders. Removing Harry’s hands I heard him groan. Laughing I turned quickly and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips before bidding him goodbye and moving away from the table and toward the blonde. Stella came up next to me linking her arm with mine. The five of us left the hotel and walked out onto the street which was blanketed with snow. I was smart enough this time to rug up with a thick jacket and jeans.

“So where are we going?” I asked, the blonde looked back at me a cheeky smile spread across her face and I instantly became a little worried.

“You’ll see.”

“I don’t want to see, I want to know… preferably now.”

Laughter rang from her lips as she shook her head. She was keeping a lid on it. I was slightly worried but tried to distract myself by turning to Stella and striking up a conversation.

“So what was going on back in there?” the brunette looked at me a confused look settling across her face. “Seriously Stella? Back there in the dinning room you were flirting with Liam.”

“I was not!”

“Were too, I was watching you. You were getting all giggling and girly, you were biting your bottom lip and twirling your hair around your finger and believe you me he was totally milking it. It is so obvious he is head over heels for you. Every time you spoke all his attention was on you.
He didn’t have the time for anyone else, he was too busy getting lost in yours.”

“Shut up,” she reached out shoving me as laughter rang from her lips but her cheeks were scarlet red. “No better then you,”

“What ever do you mean?” I asked in a light tone. Playing dumb.

“Oh come on, Harry’s hands were all over you and don’t think I missed the way your cheeks flushed something chronic when he whispered in your ear… what did he say?”

“Something…”

“Something that got you all embarrassed. It was sexual wasn’t it. You always get so flushed and embarrassed whenever sex is brought up. I’ve got it! He’s getting all touchy feely because he wants sex, he wants to sex you up big time.”

“Will you shut up,” I nearly cried out my cheeks burning, the brunette was about to yell out something. She got half a word out before I placed my hand over her mouth silencing her just in time for the others to turn around and look at us. All of them furrowed their brows confused looks on their faces. I screamed when Stella licked the palm of my hand ripping it away from her lips.

“We need to go shopping!” she cried hurrying up to them leaving me to walk on my own a few paces behind them.

“Why?” Niall groaned.

“Oh Niall you will enjoy this shopping, believe me.”

“I had the exact same thought,” Perrie giggled. Stella and the blonde shared a knowing look and I knew I was in deep shit. I could only imagine where they were going to take me considering Stella was in on this. This was her chance to get back at me for all the times I had embarrassed her. Niall sighed before slowly walking forward.

“We need your opinion Niall. What gets Harry hot under the collar, what kind of clothes,” the blonde was so confused that I couldn’t help but smile at how adorable he looked. Stella leant forward and whispered something in his ear that caused him to roar with laughter before his eyes shot back to look at me. The three girls were gossiping happily while the blonde skipped over to me linking his arm with mine whistling a happy tune.

“I hate you all, you realise this right?”

“Yep, sure do.” he answered but that didn’t stop him from smiling.

*~*~*


I stood in a change room a pile of clothes on the ground by my feet, this was the thirtieth outfit I had tried on and I was tired, irritable and wanted to go home. Perrie had made it her mission to find an outfit that would fluster Harry while Niall helped. I had been trapped in this room for two hours and still we hadn’t managed to find anything to agree on. Eleanor had become restless so she had taken Stella away and the two had gone looking elsewhere. I understood why, this was getting ridiculous.

“I’m coming out and this better be the last freaking outfit!” I sighed before drawing back the curtain and walking out. The look that spread across both blondes faces told me that this was exactly what they had been searching for. “So is this what you’ve been looking for?”

“Perfect. Harry won’t be able to keep his hands off you… This is going to be hilarious,” Niall chuckled as his light eyes scanned over the outfit they had pieced together. “You’ve got some nice heels yeah?”

“Uh… No… I didn’t bring heels, remember I kinda threw my stuff in a back pack and…”

“Right shoe section is next. Go get changed!” I groaned but turned and stomped back into the change room slipping out of the jeans that clung tightly to my legs and the lacy bustier. I slipped into my baggy jeans and jumper before walking out.

“Where’s Eleanor and Stel?” I asked as I walked over to the two.

“They went to go do a bit of shopping of their own.” Perrie said, I nodded my head and walked beside them as I searched for the price tags. Once I found them I stopped dead in my tracks.

“I can’t afford this,” I hesitantly looked up Perrie who simply laughed and shook her head.

“My treat… I want to see Hazza’s reaction with you in this outfit.” I went to object but she pulled the clothes from my hand and walked over to the counter placing them down and smiling kindly at the cashier before paying.

“She’s nuts if she thinks she is getting away with that,” Niall simply laughed before wrapping an arm around me as he walked over to the blonde female and we left the shopping centre. “I’m paying you back for that.”

“No you’re not,” she laughed. “Also we don’t have to buy heels you look like you have the same size feet as me and I brought some nice heels you can borrow for tonight.”

“Yes I am.” I argued. “And what’s going on tonight?”

“No you’re not. Apparently we’re all going clubbing/

I went to argue but Niall told me not to bother. I grumbled folding my arms over my chest as we walked away. “Do we have to go clubbing I mean that isn’t really my scene.”

“Yes we do. It’s the boys choice. Plus you can wear your outfit.” I wanted to tell the blonde there was no way I was wearing the outfit that had just been purchased out to a club. It wouldn’t only be Harry’s eyes on me god knows how many drunk sleazes I would come up against.

“Oh look there’s El and Stella. HEY!” she called out to the two brunettes who turned and waved smiling widely. Niall’s arm was still draped across my shoulder as we came up to Eleanor and Stella.
