Harrys POV//
It's christmas day and i know today is going to be hard for charlotte, she doesn't see her family. They never got on, i'm just glad i know she is spending it with someone. Me and my family.
i woke up to Charlotte resting her head on my chest and holding me close, i love mornings like this but we need to get up and open presents. it's 9am.
'charlotte' i shake her gently which she responds with a groan
'come on, it's time to open presents' i smile and she opens her eyes slowly, before sitting up.
'you head down, i'll be down in a minute' she says softly, which i nodded my head in response before getting up and going to see my family
'merry christmas josh!' i run and playfully tackle him.
'Merry christmas, harry' he says struggling to tackle me back and get up.
'come on, you know you can do better than that' i tease him
'i haven't missed this' rosie laughs whilst walking into the living room with a hot chocolate.
'Harry! get off of him!' i hear lottie say whilst running over frantically.
'it's normal, don't worry' rosie reassures her, before handing her a hot chocolate
'thanks' charlotte says
-
Rosie, josh and my parents have opened their presents from eachother and now it's mine and charlottes turn.
i hand her the pandora bag, she looks at me and shakes her head
'you didn't have too' she smiles
'but i wanted too' i shake the bag a little for her to take it and so she does.
she reaches into the bag, bringing out the box which held the bracelet with the charm already placed on it. Finally she opens the box before looking at me with a grin plastered on her face.
'i- harry you didn't have too, this is too much' she finally breaks the comfortable silence.
'i know i know, but you deserve it' i take hold of the bracelet and place it around her wrist, then explaining why it means so much.
'each time we go on holiday or even create a memory that you want to treasure for ever you can buy a charm that relates to that specific memory' i say softly, looking at the bracelet on her wrist. It fits perfectly
'like this, it's a palm tree, for the bahamas' i explain.
'i love it! this means so much' she squeals with excitement.
'thank you' she finally says before reaching over for my gifts.
'wait i have one more' i reach over for the microphone which is horribly wrapped.
everyone laughed at my attempt of wrapping
'24 and still don't know how to wrap' my dad says, chuckling to himself
'well, he is our son after all' my mum says back in my defence
'omg harry! how did you know i wanted one of these!'
i wink at her 'i just know, especially with how much singing you've been doing'
she hugs me and then hands me her gifts.
as i open up the house shaped box i take out a build a bear.
'press on the hand' charlotte says, which i press the hand and it says the date we went to The bahamas before then ending with a thank you for making it an incredible experience.
'you're too cute' i smile whilst placing the bear down and picking up another box, medium sized.
'A new headset!!' i say with excitement
'thank you' i lean over the ripped up paper and kiss her softly.

Charlottes POV
The smell of the christmas dinner lingered through the house, it smelt beautiful. Picking up my bracelet from where i had left it i head upstairs and begin to get ready for the day. Harrys out with his dad, josh and rosie doing their usual christmas tradition of visiting the beach to pay their respects to his grandparents who had sadly passed.
stepping out of the shower i look at myself and my surroundings. I love harrys family so much for inviting me here to spend christmas with them, but it doesn't feel the same. I usually spend christmas alone in my apartment, maybe a few friends will pop over and see me but that's it. Me and my family never got on, especially since i've moved to london.
i felt a tear roll down my face and i sigh. I know i could go and see my family but christmas always ends up ending with an argument, it's unfair on my mental health and my younger siblings. I wipe my tears away before walking into harry's room and getting dressed.
my outfit consists of a neatly knitted off the shoulder cream jumper and a short but not to short red plaid skirt. I braid my long hair into a lose braids, finishing off my look for today i apply some nude lipstick and mascara with a little bit of gold eyeshadow.

i look at myself in the mirror before letting out a sigh
'are you alright?' harry says placing his phone down on his bed, bringing his full attention to me.
'yeah, just miss spending christmas with my family, when things weren't bad' i turn around to face him
'yeah i bet, at least you're spending it with someone's family right?' he attempts to reassure me
'i mean yeah, but it's not the same. It feels almost odd to be spending christmas with someone's family and not mine or being on my own' i frown before looking down at my hands
'of course, i won't ever understand and i can't imagine how much it must hurt to not be speaking to your family, but i love you okay?' he walks over placing his left hand on my lower back before lifting up my chin with his two fingers and kissing me softly.
i smile into the kiss causing harry to do the same, i feel my body start to relax and just as it does Sue calls us down for the dinner.
'i love you, okay?' harry says once again making sure i am okay
'i love you too, harry' i smile before walking downstairs, harry following.
'this tastes amazing, mum' rosie says
'yeah it does, thanks mrs lewis' i look up to her before smiling.
'i'm glad you all like it' she smiles
we all talk, we pulled crackers, opened a few more presents, told jokes, laughed whilst eating food. It was the best Christmas dinner i've had in a long time
•
it's been a few hours now and we have all just played a few family games and made the most of mine and harrys last full day here in Guernsey. I don't want to leave, i love it here and his family. They've made me feel so welcome and loved.
It's around 10:30pm
i felt harry place his hand on my thigh before looking at me and yawning, hinting to go up to bed.
'think we're gonna head to bed now' harry says getting up slowly
'yeah, thanks for today guys. It means a lot' i smile also getting up.
'of course, you're welcome anytime charlotte' Adrian says
smiling i head up to harrys room and see harry already laid in bed
'didn't take you long' i say, shutting and locking his door behind me
'i'm tired, that's all' he smirks
i lay in bed beside him and cuddle him. He begins to kiss my neck which i throw my head back and enjoy it. Kissing me passionately harry unzips my skirt allowing my tucked in jumper to fall loosely. Then taking off my jumper next.
'i told you, you'd look fit in it' he says with a smirk on his face
i giggle before continuing the kiss.
