So who went to heaven and came back after the last five chapters? Did you feel blessed? I am sorry about the last chapter, it was horrendous bc it was rushed so the kissing scenes didn't come out quite how I expected it to be lol.

QOTC: Are any of you a Larrie?

Just so everyone knows, Harry in this book is 23 BUT WITH LONG HAIR. Tell me if you find it weird, if you do, then you can imagine him in whichever way you want, just not in his birthday suit, that's only for me bc well I'm the author soo.

Chapter Twenty Three


"Stay for the night" Harry's soft voice spoke from behind me as his nose skimmed along my neck causing the hair there to stand on end, his hands were placed on my hips as he took a step closer to me, his chest meeting my back. My heart thumped at the sudden change of events. I could feel his breath on the shell of my ear and his jaw pressed against my head. I resisted from leaning into his touch but my body thought otherwise as my head fell into the crook of his neck, my weight falling on him.

I let out a small sound of pleasure as his muscular arms went around my waist, my body molded into his like a puzzle piece, I held his hands that were intertwined against my abdomen, his own tangling our fingers together. This all feels like a dream and I hope I don't wake up soon.

Best birthday ever.

"Wait here, I'll be back" Harry hastily said, his arms loosened their grip on me, the warmth I felt while being in his arms disappeared. "Why?" I questioned "Just do as I say, Montgomery" he ordered, pointing a finger at me before going into the kitchen, his hair bounced upon his shoulders as he took hasty steps. I huffed as I waited for him. A few seconds later, I was surrounded by complete darkness and I tensed "H-Harry?" I called out in a weak voice.

I squinted my eyes when a soft glow entered the room. A candle. "Happy Birthday to you, Anna" My hands flew to my mouth in disbelief as I chuckled. Harry stood in front of me with a cupcake and a single candle. The glow of the candle gave the room a somber feel, his green eyes were brighter in the candlelight and he held a smile to his lips "You didn't have to" I breathlessly said

He shrugged "Well considering that I made you spend the whole day of your birthday with me, I think you deserve a little celebration. I know it's not much but this is all I could come up with in a few hours, there's more that you can take home" I took a step closer to him "I willingly stayed and thank you for this. This day was perfect in every sense of the word. Actually this is too much, I don't really like celebrating my birthday ever since my grandmother passed" my own words made my heart flutter in my chest and I watched Harry heave out a sigh "Now come on, make a wish, you have a few hours till you're 23 forever, well actually for a year" he chastised and I giggled

With heated cheeks, I leaned forward, closed my eyes and made a wish. "Yay!" Harry exclaimed once I blew out the candle. "You're such a dork" my eyes widened once I said those words "Oh shit, sorry" I apologized immediately, Harry laughed "Here's, well, your birthday cake" he held out the cupcake which was beautifully decorated with edible sunflowers.

"I'll call a cab" I suggested, Harry clicked his tongue "Nonsense, I'm taking you home and that's final" he declared "What about Noah?" I turned to look at the baby in my arms, his head rested on my shoulder while his hand grabbed onto my hair "He'll be in his booster seat" he stated "The one that broke" I passed him an incredulous look "No, the new one that I went out and bought" he smirked and I gasped

I picked a cushion and flung it at him "You sick bastard, I can't believe you. You couldn't tell me this 5 minutes ago." He let out a hearty laugh by throwing his head back, crinkles formed at the edges of his eyes and dimples deepened "Here I was thinking that Noah would have to sit on your lap this time, for real" I said and he continued to laugh. I like this playful side of him. It's nice.

"Come on, let's go, it's already eight" I sighed and he pouted "Fine, the offer for you staying the night is still open, Montgomery" he got up from the couch to grab his keys "In your dreams, Styles" I called out as I went upstairs and into Noah's room. "Okay, handsome, let's get you warm" I cooed and his hands patted my cheeks while saying something in his baby language.

I placed Noah on my hip and headed for the wooden cupboards, gathered a few articles of clothes. I placed Noah on the changing table when a foul stench reached my nose "Someone needs a change" I kept the woolen jumper, socks and beanie aside. Laying the green eyed infant onto the changing table. Helping out with my cousin's baby a few years back had given me practice for something like this.

Once getting rid of Noah's dirty diaper, I cleaned him up and dressed him in the woolen jumper. It's pretty cold outside, wouldn't want him to get sick. When I got back downstairs, Harry had a Calvin Klein sweatshirt covering his torso along with a blue beanie on his head. "Ready?" I nodded. We headed out the front door and my whole body shook from the fall weather. I'm actually thankful for the heaters inside Harry's house.

Harry took Noah from me and buckled him in his new booster seat then I slipped into the passenger seat. The drive to my apartment was silent yet comforting. I heard Harry sigh from next to me and I turned, looking back at Noah who had his fist stuck in his mouth, I slotted my body through the space between the driver and passenger seat, placing a kiss onto Noah's forehead "Goodbye handsome" his green eyes followed my actions before his little eyebrows furrowed.

"Thanks for today, I had a really good time" I said to Harry once I sat back onto the passenger seat "I had a good time too" he passed me a small smile and I turned to get out of the vehicle when his voice stopped me "Don't I get a kissy too?" I faced his pouty face and chuckled as he jutted his lips out further "Sure" I leaned over the console to connect my lips to his cheek but he turned his face so his lips met mine, cheeky Styles "Goodbye, Harry" I softly said "Goodbye, Anna. For now"

Holy shit! It's 2 am and I'm still up. Goodnight/morning my loves. I just had to use his tweet.
