Today, for the first time in so long I have woken up on the 25th of December with a smile on my face. Just knowing that I'll be spending my Christmas with Harry makes my stomach do flips of excitement as whenever I am in his presence I am a happier person.

I stayed the night at Harry's last night and no, nothing happened. We slept together, but only as in side by side without anything physical. We lay together now, legs intertwined and his arms are wrapped securely around my waist. I could get used to this every morning. My feelings for Harry only continue to grow and he's even admitted to me that he feels the same way.

I turn my head to get a better view of the charming man who I am madly in love with. He's so beautiful even when he sleeps. His long eyelashes flicker open and back closed again, so I continue to analyse is face further.

"I can feel you staring at me." He says in a low mumble. I have never been so infatuated with someone's morning voice. The low rasp mixed with his British accent is enough to send anyone over the edge.

"Merry Christmas." I flip myself over so that I am now facing him completely and I press a quick peck on his lips.

"Mhm do that again." He whispers and I laugh at him, pushing away his curls that have fallen onto his forehead with my hands. I then cup his cheeks and lean forward, stopping from going any closer as soon as my face is inches from his. His eyes remain focused on mine for a few seconds until they fall to my lips.

"Merry-" I peck his beautifully plump lips. -"Christmas" I kiss him again and he pushes his face closer to mine so that he can deepen the kiss.

"Merry Christmas to you too babe." He smirks and moves his hands to my waist, pulling me closer and lifting me so that I am straddling him. "You're so beautiful." He moves my hair out of my face and slides his thumbs across my cheeks. "And I love it when you blush for me." His grin widens and I try to hide my face, but he holds my hands back. 

"You're the only one that has that affect on me."

"Good." He chirps. "And it's going to stay that way." He sits himself up and I move off of him so that he can get up out of bed. "Hey" he pouts his lip as he brings me back closer to him. He pulls me into his chest and next thing you know, he is lifting me up as he gets up out of bed. He tries to kiss me but I turn my head.

"I have morning breath" I cover my mouth and Harry rolls his eyes.

"And I don't care." 

"Where are you taking me?"

"Well it's Christmas isn't it?" He says making his point obvious. I nod my head, not catching along to what he is saying. "We don't have a Christmas tree up, so what is Christmas without a tree?"

"Don't you think it's a little too late to put one up?"

"It's never too late Elouise." He presses a kiss to my forehead and puts me down on the ground. He nods his head in the direction behind me and so I turn around to look at what he is wanting me to look at. My jaw drops as I walk towards the large, sapling that is a real life christmas tree.

"Harry, when and where did you get this?" I gasp, walking towards the tree. 

"I have my connections." He follows behind me. "Do you like it?"

"Harry, I love it!" I turn back to him and wrap my arms around him. "This is the best Christmas ever."

"Well you haven't even seen your presents yet." He chuckles and I smile up at him. "It looks a little bare though, don't you think?"

"Yeah, it needs some decorations." I nod my head in agreement.

"Come on then" he takes my hand and I follow him towards the garage. When Harry opens the door he lets go of my hand to lift a large cardboard box. "Decorations" he whispers to me and I clap my hands with excitement. I shut the door behind us and follow him back to the Christmas tree. 

"Silver and blue tinsel and ornaments. Harry, these are my favourite christmas colours" I waste no time in retrieving the decorations out of the box. "Are you going to help me set it up?"

"I'd much rather watch you do it." He takes a seat on the lounge and I give him the look as if to say really.  "Go on then" he waves his hands at me and I decide to just go ahead and do it myself.

It doesn't take very long and when I am up to the star I find myself having difficulties reaching it. After a few attempts of jumping and trying to reach the top of the two metre tree, I continue to fail. I can feel my underwear being exposed as Harry's top that I am wearing raises every time I jump. 

"Good view?" I ask him sarcastically.

"Great actually, thanks for asking." He smirks at me and licks his lips. "Need some help babe?"

"Yes thanks babe. That would be good." I hand him the star and he pushes my hand away. 

"You've done a good job so far, so you deserve to put the star on. I'll just hoist you up." He knees on the ground and I stare at him questionably.

"What are you doing?"

"Just get on my shoulders Ella."

"No way, what if you drop me?"

"Do you honestly think I will drop you? I lift 200kg weights for a living, do you honestly think I would drop someone who weighs a quarter of that?"

"Fine" I give in and step around his shoulders before sitting on them. I wobble at first as Harry stands up, but when he holds onto my legs I feel much more stable. "Wow, this is what it feels like to be tall?"

"Great isn't it." 

"Yeah" I say and lean forward, placing the star carefully on top of the tree. "All done. You can let me down now."

"Okay." Harry begins crouching back down so that I can get off when suddenly he wobbles and pretends to drop me. I squeal in fear of my laugh and Harry falls into a fit of laughter as he quite enjoys me fearing for my life. 

"Harry!" I hit his arm when I am safely back on the ground and he only continues to laugh even more. "You scared the hell out of me."

"That was so funny." He is still laughing and tears begin to fall from his eyes. 

"Well I am glad you enjoyed that." I huff.

"Believe me , I would have enjoyed that even more if you were infront of my head instead of behind." He winks and I hit him again.

"You're disgusting."

"But you love me."

"Yeah whatever." 

"Hey, you're annoying and are really nosey but I put up with you."

"But you love me." I mock his words from before.

"I do." He whispers, but I still hear him.

"What did you say?" I ask, wanting to hear those two words again.

"Nothing, lets go open presents." He walks into his room and I can't stop thinking about what he said. Why can't he just admit it to my face that he loves me? 

Whilst Harry is getting who knows what from his room I decide to go to the garage where I left my wrapped presents last night. I have gifts for Zayn and Perrie in there and yesterday evening I decided to buy Gemma, Luke and Lottie a small gift each as we would be spending Christmas with them today. I retrieve Harry's three gifts that I brought him, even though he told me not to get him anything. 

When I go back to the living room Harry is already there with a box with the writing pink on it. Every girl knows what pink means - Victorias Secret. 

"Merry Christmas H" I hand him the three wrapped presents and he hands me my box.

"Merry Christmas to you too, although I said you didn't need to get me anything."

"And I said you didn't need to get me anything either, but look where we are now." I say and he sighs. "You open yours first."

"Fine" he nods his head and opens the first present. He furrows his eyebrows together and bites on his bottom lip as he tears the paper apart. A smile appears on his face as he holds up a black calvin klein shirt. 

"Thank you so much" he says before throwing it at me. "But I know you probably brought it only so you could steal another one of my shirts."

"Ha ha, very funny."

"I don't mind though, just as long as I can keep something of yours." He winks and I shake my head at him. He picks up the second present and opens it just like the first. This present is a boxing glove with a the letter E carved into it and a heart. 

"It's for you to put on your boxing bag - you know so you can look at it before every match." 

"Thanks El, I love it and I will think of you every time I look at it." He rubs his hand on my thigh as he looks at the present more closely. He then opens the third present and his reaction is just as good as the first two. He pulls the headband out of the plastic and puts it on his head. "This is just what I needed."

"Well I can relate to how annoying long hair can get when it is on your face." I say and he laughs. "There's something else in there."

"What?" He asks, then opens the paper even more. Down the bottom is a photo frame of him and I looking into each others eyes. It was my favourite photo from the photo booth and I had it blown up into a larger copy because I liked it so much. He pulls me into a hug and kisses me multiple times all around my face.

"I love them all so much. Thank you thank you thank you" he continues to kiss my face and I have to push him away before he suffocates me. 

"You're welcome." I kiss his cheek. 

"Your turn to open. I can't wait to see your reaction." 

"Okay" I cannot wait any longer. I open the box to see two bottles of my favourite perfume - coconut passion in which they do not sell here anymore as it was limited edition and I am almost out. Underneath the perfume is a set of satin pyjamas with a matching sleep mask.

"Harry" I shriek. "These are amazing thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you-"

"-you're not done yet theres still more." He takes the pyjamas out of my hands and places them next to the perfumes. At the bottom of the bag is some underwear that looks just as beautiful than comfortable to wear. When I place them next to my other presents I see one last thing in the bag. I look to Harry the second I see lace and he is trying to hide his smirk. I pull the black lace from the bag and my jaw falls.

"Harry..." I try to stop myself from blushing. I look at the outfit and just can't help but laugh. It is see through and lace all over with belts and buckles on the thighs. "Harry, you got my lingerie?"

"I couldn't help myself. When I seen it I could not get the image of you wearing it out of my head. I couldn't resist."

"And what do you expect me to do with it?" I ask, acting dumb. 

"I have a few ideas."

"You know, I may just have to try this on later." I continue with my act and I see Harry's jaw tense as he tries to calm himself. 

"D-do you uh- want breakfast?" He asks me, trying to change the topic as I continue to hold the black lace over my body. 

"Yes please." I send him a smile as I pack my presents back in their bag. "Thank you for all of these. You didn't have to. I love them all so much."

"It was my pleasure." He kisses the top of my head as we put our presents on the couch and walk towards the kitchen.

"I can't believe we are having cereal christmas morning."

"Cereal with sprinkles!" Harry adds excitedly. "I'm sorry, but I have nothing else here. I was going to take you out but we are heading to Gemma's."

"Well even though it is cereal, it is still a beautiful breakfast. Thank you Harry." I take a sip of my orange juice. "It seems like such a peaceful day outside too." I stare out the window and Harry nods his head. He looks like he is deep in thought and I can't help but want to ask him.

"Are you alright?" He nods his head. "Then why aren't you speaking?" He shrugs his shoulders. "Harry, what's wro-"

"You know how we played twenty one questions?" He cuts me off and shocks me as this is such a random question.

"Yeah? That was so long ago now."

"Well, I only asked you nineteen questions, so I have two left."

"You can box and you can count. Good job, Styles."

"Shut up I am being serious here."

"What are you getting at?" I raise my eyebrows at him. I honestly have no clue what he is about to say. Was it something I said whilst we were playing that game? I can't remember half the things I said that night, only what happened after it. 

"I am about to use one of those questions." He says and I look at him, urging him to continue. "Ella, will you be my girlfriend?"

I almost spit out my juice. I am in so much shock I almost have to ask him to repeat himself. "You mean that?"

"Yes Ella. I love you and you love me. I hate a label, but you make me feel some type of way like no one has ever before. I am crazy about you and I just want to be with you every second of the day. I love you so much Ella Jackson and I want to be able to call you mine."

"Yes Harry!" I stand up and run over to him on the other side of the table. "Yes yes yes I will be your girlfriend. I thought you would never ask you big goof" I ruffle his hair with my hands and sit on his lap. "I love you too, so so much and I would like nothing more than to be your girlfriend."

"I love you." He pulls me into a hug.

"I love you" I say, hugging him tightly. "You make me so happy Harry Styles."

"But this whole relationship thing, I have never done it before and call me a pussy but I am scared."

"Harry" I cup his face with my hands. "I'm scared too, but we will work this out and for once in my life I will be able to teach you something. I'll teach you this relationship thing."

"And promise me one thing Ella."

"What?"

"Don't break my heart."
