Harry's POV

2 months later....

Jayda and I have been hanging out a lot for the past 5 months, and now it's about to be Christmas. The boys and I have one last show this weekend before we finally get to take a break.

Jayda and I haven't made anything official, but I feel like we both know where we stand. We're just taking it slow. I wanted to take her to the mall today though so I could get an idea of what to get her and the boys of course. I know they said they just wanted dinner, but I'm not buying that.

Jayda was laying asleep on my chest as I thought about the day ahead of us. We were at Louis's house. We've been at Louis's for a while actually. His place is just such a family home and it feels safe.

"Good morning," I greeted her, as she wiped her face the way she does.

"Good morning, what were you doing?" she whispered.

"Nothing. Just thinking."

"Thing about what?"

"How I wanted to take you to the mall today. I have some things to pick out for the boys," I said, halfway telling the truth

"Oh, okay. Should I make breakfast for everyone first?"

I looked at her surprised. I haven't seen her cook all these months we've known each other.

"What? You don't think I can cook do you?"

"I never said that," I teased, "I just have never seen you cook. Usually I do or you order something."

"Oh I'll show you mr."

She bounced up and raced towards the kitchen. I followed behind. They boys were actually up this morning.

"Good morning Jayda," they all greeted.

"Good morning boys, I'll be making you all breakfast because your friend over there doesn't think I can cook," she said looking at the pantry.

"Oh really? Well what's on the menu?" Louis asked, "Because I'm starving."

"How about french toast, my famous eggs, bacon, sausage, and some morning coffee?" she cheered.

"Famous eggs?" I asked half smiling.

"That's right, you heard it."

"Well I for one would love to taste these eggs," Niall said appearing from his room.

"Then eggs you shall receive."

She began straight away. As she continued to cook, the living room filled with a delicious smell. The boys and I did a little singing as she worked.

She listened and smiled as we song some of our songs and other artists'.

"Here are y'all coffees," she delivered. "food's almost done."

About 5 minutes later...

"Come eat everyone," she shouted.

The boys and I raced to the kitchen, the smell was just so enticing. As we looked at our full plates, we smiled.

"Why don't you cook like this Harry?" Liam teased.

"Oh shut up," I exclaimed.

I took my first bite, and oh wow. She really could cook. As I went in for another bite, I noticed that Niall and Louis were already piling on seconds. Zayn wasn't even speaking, just filling his mouth with food.

"Jayda, you're cooking from now on," Louis said, " those are now house rules."

We all laughed.

"I'm glad you all like it. Orange juice anyone?"

Okay at this point she was just rubbing it in my face.

We all finished up our plates and placed them in the sink. After a couple of more moments of laughing and playing around, we informed the boys we were leaving for the mall in a bit.

"Are y'all coming back here afterwards or to Jayda's?" Liam asked, plopping on the couch.

"We'll be back," I answered.

"Good, because you're on dish duty," Louis said laughing.

"Yea yea whatever."

I put on my usual, a sweatshirt and some black jeans. We had to stop by Jayda's because she didn't have any clothes, and she left her wallet, not that she was going to need it.

On the way to her house, she held my hand as I drove. I love when she does small things like this.

"Did you actually enjoy breakfast," she asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, it was really good. Why don't you cook more often?"

"Honestly, there's no good answer. I just rather not," she laughed.

We pulled up to her house and she quickly ran inside to change while I stayed in the car. She came back out in some dark blue jeans that shaped her figure, a black hoodie, and her converse, with her hair up. Her style never fails to amaze me.

"All set?" I asked

"Yup, let's go."

We song along to some music all the way to the mall.

Jayda's POV

There wasn't many people in the mall so it was easy for us to get in and out of stores. Harry pulled me into Macy's so we could look for matching pajamas.

"You like these," he asked holding some up.

This was actually the first pair he picked up that I truly liked. They had pockets, which was a must for me, and had black and red square patterns. The women's one even had a flap on the rear.

"Actually. I kinda love these," I smiled.

"Great! Let's get them!"

"What about the boys? Are they just for us?"

"Yeah, I figured we could go back to my place after Christmas dinner with them," he replied.

"Oh, okay."

I was kinda embarrassed. I didn't even know he had a place, I just assumed he lived with Louis.

We went on to pick gifts for the boys. He got Niall a new, very expensive, guitar. Louis got some cologne and basically a new wardrobe. He got Zayn a new Gucci suit, as well as some items of his own, and Liam a new camera and some new vinyl records.

From the time we've entered the mall, it's began to fill up a little bit. Some fans have came up to Harry, but not a lot.

On our way out, he kept ushering me towards every jewelry store and asked what I liked in them. I'm pretty sure he was trying to figure out a gift.

Heading towards the exit doors we saw a ton of fans and paparazzi heading our way. Not again, I thought.

"Don't worry, just stay calm," Harry assured me.

Right calm. And that's when they began to enclose on us. Here we go again, I thought, round 2.
