Niall's POV:

After work, we drive straight to Harry's house. He gave me a pair of small sweatpants and a loose sweater. As I walked into the kitchen he said," You look good in my clothes" 

I start blushing furiously. He smiles at me. He took out many ingredients and utensils. I only followed his instructions since I can't really bake. 

We decide to make quite a few cakes and by a few, I mean like 15. Hahaha, not a few at all. We also made 100 cupcakes. 

I guess we really had a Christmas spirit. We both love giving to other plus it was fun baking with Harry. He's a great friend and he's fun to cook with. He likes to crack a lot of jokes when I'm around.

One of my favourite ones from today was - why did the students eat their homework?... Because the teacher said that it was a piece of cake.

Another one was - what did the cake say to the fork?... you want a piece of me?

He's hilarious. 

Out of all the 15 cakes:

4 were chocolate

4 were vanilla

4 were marble

4 were rainbow

Actually, we made 16 cakes so we kept one to try after visiting the orphanage. I decorated the cupcakes with different Disney characters.

We loaded the cakes and cupcakes into Harry's car. I changed back into my clothes and we went to the orphanage. 

It turned out to be such a great experience. Harry and I even sang a song for them while I played the guitar. There were many kids and they all really liked us and the sweets we brought.

The nuns were also very happy. It felt good being there. I knew that those kids don't have much fun over there. I guess I kind of know what it feels like. Not having any parents I mean. Or at least none that care.

We stayed for a long time and by the time we said our goodbyes it was quite late but tomorrow was a Sunday so it didn't matter. 

If you were wondering: yes, we have to work on Saturdays. But I don't have anything better to do so.

We both rush to eat the cake when we get to Harry's house. We kept a rainbow one because it was the only one that was a bit burnt. Harry insisted to wash first before eating.

"You should take a shower Niall" and I don't refuse because I really feel like one. I don't take too long and I'm out of the shower after 10 minutes. 

Harry takes one right after me and he's also quick to finish.

"I'm starving... can we have cake?" I ask pointing towards the oven

"We should eat proper food, we'll have later. Do you like Chinese?" 

"Mhm, should I call?" I order for both of us and it doesn't take long to arrive. We both were super hungry so the food disappeared very quickly.

"I'll get the cake. Do you want a drink?"

"Yep. Do you have Bacardi and Coke?"

"Coming right up"

Harry walks back in with 2 massive pieces of cake and 2 glasses of coke and Bacardi. 

The cake was finished and so was a whole bottle of Bacardi. Well mostly by Harry. He's drunk as shit. I didn't drink much. 

Harry is laughing hard right now about... nothing.

"Nially I wove rainbows!" He says giggling and twirling his hair

"Rainbows are nice" I say and before I could say anything else I felt a warm wet smack on my lips. I open my eyes to see Harry's lips smashed on mine.

It felt good but I couldn't take advantage of him. I pull away quickly and he starts to tear up.

"Why you pull away Nini? Why does no one wove Harry? do you wove Hazzy? He says in a childish tone.

"Yes I do-" I start before Harry throws himself on me and plants another kiss on my lips.

"Harry stop! We can't do this, you're my boss. Let's get you to bed" I say pulling him up and placing his arm on my shoulder. He stumbles to his room and I pull the covers over his cold body.

"Stay Niall" I hear him say. He sounds soberer so I decide to do so.

I wake up earlier than usual. It's 7 am and Harry is still fast asleep. He's gonna have a massive hangover. I have a bit of a headache but that's all it is.

I fill a glass with water and I grab 2 paracetamols and head back to the room. He's probably going to be hungry so I order pancakes from Shoreditch for breakfast.

As soon as the pancakes arrive I pay the delivery man and place them on the kitchen table.

As I enter his bedroom I find him sitting on his bed looking rather confused.

"I got drunk didn't I?"

"Yeah" I chuckle a bit

"Did I do or say anything weird?"

I don't know if I should tell him about the kisses we shared. I'm sure it would make things awkward between us so I just don't tell him.

"No. Umm I brought you water, paracetamol and pancakes from Shoreditch!"

"Seriously?" I nod

"You're the best... friend ever Ni" He hugs me and we both go to the kitchen and eat our pancakes.

I watch him take a big piece in his mouth. He bursts out laughing and he almost spits it out.

This is why I love this man! Wait did I just say love?!! Oh my god no! I can't love my boss who is also my friend who also kissed me more than once last night but not because he likes me it was because he was fucking drunk.

All this pisses me off. I can't like Harry let alone love him. I'm in deep shit.

"What'd you wanna do today?" Harry asks me.

"Seeing as you have a hangover I think it's best if we stay in"

" True but I don't want you to get bored" He says. I'll never get bored of him

"How about we play some FIFA?" It's my favourite game so why not

"Sure. I'll set it up" He says handing me one of the controllers.
