Tessa:

4 days later, Sunday 19th December.

I was asleep in bed till I felt something moving its way up the bed. When I open my eyes a few seconds later I see Hardin looking down at me as he moves a piece of hair off my face and behind my ear.

"Hey baby" he says in a soft voice.

"Hey you" I say back to him with a smile.

"Happy birthday Tess" he says to me with a smile on his face.

"Thank you Hardin" I thank him then he places a gentle kiss on my forehead then my lips which makes gives me butterflies and I let out a little giggle.

"What time is it?" I ask him

"Nearly half ten" he informs me and I'm surprised I have slept this long and that Hardin is the one that has been awake longer than me.

"Why are you up? It's normally me waking you up"

"Because I was doing something for you" he tells me and I give him a quizzical look. "Don't move, I'll be back" he tells me as he gets off the bed and disappears out of the bedroom.

I sit up in bed making myself more comfortable whilst waiting for Hardin to return.

A couple minutes later he returns with a tray in his hands. He brings the tray to my side and I see that he made us breakfast.

"Aw Hardin you didn't have to" I said to him in awe at how sweet this surprise was.

"Of course I did Tess it's your birthday" he says placing the tray on my lap then he quickly goes out of the room again. Then returning back with a couple of bags, which he brings to my side and I look into them to see presents.

"Hardin" I groan at him

"Tessa" he says back to me in the same way.

"I told you I didn't want you making a fuse or buying me lots" I say to him

"Yeh well it's your birthday and your first birthday with me so I'm making a fuse" he says climbing back into bed beside me. "Now eat" he says and I giggle at him being bossy.

"This looks great" I say to him looking down at everything on the tray. There is a stack of crêpe on a plate with nutella, jam and honey sitting in little bowls beside the plate. Then there are a couple of bowls full with fruit and to finish it off a bowl of yogurt too.

"How long did this take you?" I ask whilst spreading nutella on a crêpe.

"I've been up since about nine" he tells me whilst eating a raspberry.

"Wow look at you being up early" I say and laugh, "oh haha, very funny" Hardin says back to me.

Whilst we ate we had small talk and it felt nice to have some chill time together. We haven't had a morning like this in a while so it was nice, it felt like a cute couple moment. Which sounds corny but it's the best way to describe it.

"Well that was great, thank you baby" I say to Hardin and lean over to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Very welcome baby" he says with a smile.
