Number Six
He is Harry's son...
Or is he?
Lawl I had to do that
• Chapter Six •
I followed the sound to an agape door, I pushed the door open and poked my head through finding the same baby, that I saw at the Diner, sitting in his playpen, flailing his hands about. Tears streamed from his green eyes and I immediately crouched next to him, picking him into my arms "Shh, I got you" I whispered into his ears.
His chubby hands grabbed onto my shirt and his small body shook within my embrace, I rubbed my hand along his back seeing that he had calmed down. "What's wrong, baby? Is something troubling you?" I cooed into his ear, a hiccup left his mouth and I found myself smiling a little at the cute sound. I shifted from foot to foot, dancing with him in my arms, then pulling him forward using my left arm to hold him up, I watched him stare at me with wide opened eyes.
"Is someone teething?" I tickled his tummy, my eyes catching the little white bone that's starting to appear amongst the pink of his gums. He let out a small laugh as I tickled his tummy, something to get his mind off the pain he's feeling. I moved around the room we were in, dancing with him in my arms, noticing that it seems to be a playroom. "Does that feel nice?" I spoke to him in a baby voice, his head now rested on my shoulder as I rubbed my hand along his back in a soothing way, humming a lullaby from memory.
I turned my head slightly to see his seaweed green eyes closed, his mouth opened as drool dribbled from it onto my white shirt creating a wet circle but I'm not bothered about that. I continued humming as I took steps towards the crib in the room, bending forward, I placed his little body softly onto the mattress then stood to my height only to be stopped by a tug on my chain. I chuckled lightly to myself, seeing a chubby hand holding onto my anchor chain.
You see, Tash and I have this thing, she's the rope to my anchor. In the sense that she has a rope chain, the rope being the pendant and I have the anchor. For sisters, we're extremely close to one another.
I unclasped his hand from my chain, then made no sound as I stood to my height, finding his face twist with confusion before he turned to the other side, instantly grabbing onto the stuffed rabbit he had come to the Diner with. I walked out the room, the nanny not to be seen anywhere, I made my way out the house and headed back to work.
"What's that on your shirt?" Was the first thing Gemma asked me when I entered the gallery, I followed her finger to where she pointed finding the big wet spot of drool "Oh, that. That's drool" I chuckled fondly, thinking of the green eyed baby "Did you fall off to sleep?" She laughed and I shook my head "Uhm, I don't know if I'm saying this right but, I actually put Harry's son to sleep when I went to his house earlier and the little ball of joy dribbled on me" Gemma's eyes widened so much that you could see her whole iris.
"You went to his house?" She gasped and from behind her I noticed Harry exit his office "Miss Montgomery, where have you been? It's been nearly an hour" he said in an irritated tone, I raised my eyebrows at his words, has he been keeping time? "Traffic jam" I lied and Gemma gave me a look, pinching me under my arm "Ouch!" I shrieked and I passed her a look saying I'll explain later "Get back to work" he ordered.
When I got back to my office, I grabbed my phone which I had forgotten, finding Stalia's number, I called her asking her to swap my shift. She likes to be notified of things like this in advance and then I'd probably have to go there later to sign saying that I've agreed to the changes. Stalia is big on paperwork.
Halfway through the day, I was sat at my desk, going through the finalised pictures from the gala, I double checked the ones they had chosen and all I now need is Harry's signature on them which then goes down to printing as his signature is the watermark on all pictures that we take, basically it's an approval.
My office door burst open revealing a woman on a mission "Spill" she ordered and I chuckled "Why is it so important?" I asked, Gemma took a seat on one of the chairs in front of my desk "I just find it interesting, 's all" her accent thick "Gemma, there's nothing interesting about it, I just picked up his dry-cleaning and dropped it off. Though, the nanny's behaviour pissed me off." Gemma's eyebrows raised at my statement
"Why? You mean Raiza, right?" I nodded "She took the clothing sleeve from me and just disappeared somewhere in the house. I mean, the baby was practically wailing his lungs out and she just ignored his cries so I attended to him and made him sleep." I casually ended off. "Raiza has always been like that, she's forgetful but she's good at what she does." Gemma said
"I, for one, still cannot believe that Harry Styles has a son" I said with wide eyes and Gemma passed me a grave look "Why are you looking at me like that?" Did I say something wrong? "No, nothing at all. I'll just get going then" she sadly said before leaving my office. What went wrong? Did I say something out of context? I don't recall saying anything bad, her sudden change in demeanour confused me.
I shook it off and continued doing my work.
I knocked on the opened door of Arrogant Styles' office, he swiveled around in his chair meeting my eyes, that's when I took notice of the bags under his eyes and the redness around his iris's have increased "What do you want?" I cleared my throat "Here are the finalised pictures from the gala, I need you to sign it then I can send it to them" I softly said, placing the file on his desk, he pulled himself closer to the table, grabbing his pen.
"These are good" he mumbled and I pursed my lips to stop myself from breaking out into a grin "Thank you, Mr Styles. If you don't mind me saying," I trailed off waiting for him to look at me, he lifted his head hinting that I continue "I suggest you head home, you're exhausted which is highly unprofessional as you're the face of this business and if I guess correctly it's because that your son is teething and that has kept you up all night." I stopped speaking, holding in my breath as I screwed my eyes closed waiting for his reply
When he didn't say anything, I opened my eyes finding him looking at me with a clenched jaw, I gulped standing straight. He finished sign the required documents then handed the file back to me. "Raiza told me that she finally got him to sleep so I would not be taking your advice, Miss Montgomery, because you don't get to tell me what to do" he gave me a pointed look and I scoffed "He only fell asleep because I made him sleep while your nanny was prancing around the house doing god knows what, heck I think she fell off to sleep on your bed after she took the dry-cleaning from me" I crossed my arms huffing in the process, irritated that she took credit for what I did
Harry seemed taken aback with my outburst "Well then, thank you. You may leave" he said in a clipped tone and I simply nodded my head then exited his office. "Miss Montgomery" he called back, I poked my head from the side of the doorframe "Yes?" I questioned "How did you get him to sleep? He hasn't slept for three days" I blinked a few times trying to register what just happened "A lullaby that my grandmother used to sing to me whenever I was a kid, it works like a charm" he looked down, nodding his head and I turned to leave his office.
Maybe Harry Styles does have a heart, after all.
It was finally time for me to go home and I couldn't be more relieved. I closed my office door then made my way to the elevator. "Hey" I heard Cole's voice as I walked towards the exit "Hi" I smiled up at him "Do you like Italian by any chance?" He dragged his words, a slight hesitancy to his voice "Of course I do, Italian cuisine is my life" I chuckled and he relaxed. "Relax, Cole" I softly said and he let out a nervous laugh
"I've never been this jittery before a date" he shifted from foot to foot. "Honestly, I should be the jittery one" I sucked in my lips and he passed me a questioning look "Why's that?" I scratched my wrist then picked at the ends of my shirt, something I tend to do when nervous "This is my first date, like ever" Cole's eyebrows raised in shock and I slightly nodded my head "Wow, I didn't know that. I'm sorry, no, I'm honoured" he chuckled and I joined in "I'm glad it's you" I watched his cheeks tinge pink and I felt mine doing the same.
How did you like it? What did you think about the special moment shared between Harry's son and Anna?
