Number Sixty Seven
• Chapter Sixty Seven •
"I'm disappointed in you" I flitted my gaze between the brother-sister duo "I said I'm sorry and I've explained myself" Harry sighed and Gemma continued tapping her foot on the ground. Shawn sat behind her, typing on his phone as he glanced up from time to time with an amused expression. "How could you do that, Harry?" Gemma smacked his arm and Harry's eyes widened in response. "Ow!" Gemma rolled her eyes at his feigned look of hurt. "You're so stupid. I told you that you're going to land in big trouble if you continued your notorious ways but I guess your brain is like a sieve, nothing stays in there"
Harry gawked at her before standing to his feet, his form towered over hers and I watched Shawn leave his phone aside, shuffling forward on the couch almost as if in preparation to protect Gemma if things go south between the siblings. "You don't get to tell me what to do, at least I didn't do anything behind your back. You knew everything, Gem" She narrowed her eyes at him "What is that supposed to mean?" He scoffed "I mean that you two went behind my back on multiple occasions" He gestured between the couple "Oh for God's sake, Harry. That was ages ago and we only went behind your back because this was the only relationship of mine that you couldn't ruin before it even started" Gemma explained and I shook my head at Harry's inversion of turning the subject onto Gemma.
Shawn walked up behind Gemma, sliding his arms under hers and around her waist. I smiled at the sight before me, "So would this be the wrong time to tell you that we're having a baby?" Shawn questioned, a soft smile on his lips as he rested his cheek against Gemma's head. Her own cheeks turned scarlet and Harry's jaw dropped, green eyes widened to the size of saucers as he looked between the two. Gemma started to giggle at his reaction, speechless if I might add "You're pregnant?!" He exclaimed before facing me "Did you hear that?" He pointed to them and I nodded sheepishly, "I've known for a while" I'm actually surprised by Harry's reaction.
He didn't flip a table like Gemma expected and I glanced towards her to see the relief in her features upon her brother's childlike reaction. "This is amazing. I'm so happy for you, Gem" He pushed Shawn off Gemma before engulfing her into a bear hug "Hey, I helped too, you know" Shawn pouted and I chuckled "Yeah, yeah whatever. You had your moment, it's mine now" Gemma's bubbly laughter filled the room and I sat back, admiring the happy trio in front of me. Lighthearted and full of excitement, just what we needed after everything that happened. The rest of the evening was spent with Harry asking Gemma questions upon questions then he apologized for putting her under so much stress.
"I can't believe I'm going to be an uncle," Harry beamed as we sat in the living room ", again" He added before he shrugged off his coat and kept it aside. Shawn and Gemma had left an hour ago for a meeting with one of their wedding caterers. "It's a great feeling" I smiled at him, the excitement he felt was still evident in his features "Are we okay?" He then asked, the air changed around us and the familiar buzz returned to my ears at his question. I solemnly nodded, placing my hand over his as he sat beside me "We're okay, Harry" I assured him and he breathed out in relief "Did you not think we were?" I frowned and he chewed on his bottom lip, I reached my hand up and tugged onto his chin to set his lip free from the clutches of his teeth.
"I don't know, I guess I had a little doubt that you hadn't fully forgiven me for everything" He casted his eyes downwards to our hands and I gave his a squeeze "Well get that doubt and throw it out the window. I do forgive you Harry, I told you that I'm giving you a chance. Just don't blow it" He nodded "Can I kiss you?" I chuckled at his childlike expression "You don't have to ask me" He smiled a little before he leaned forward and pressed his chapped lips against mine. I cupped his cheek and responded to the kiss, it was lazy and soft. I let out a giggle when Harry twisted his lips to hold himself from smiling, "Why are you doing that?" I whined a little and pulled away.
"I just can't stop smiling" Harry's smile widened to a point where I couldn't see his eyes, he let out a laugh before shaking his head "You make me happy, Anna. Thank you" His expression changed to a much somber one and he reached his hand up to brush my hair away from my face and I mirrored his smile "For what?" I frowned "For not giving up on me and for loving me" Harry's voice was soft and gentle "You're not getting rid of me anytime soon" I shuffled on the couch and kneeled, he laughed and grabbed onto my waist "Wouldn't even dream of doing that" He pulled me to his lap and I placed my knees on either side of his thighs, my arms slung over his shoulders.
He wrapped his arms around me and my chest pressed against his, "I like it when you wear dresses" Harry said, I shuddered at the feel of his fingertips that ran from my shoulder down to the hem of the dress I wore, ending off at my mid-thigh. "Yeah?" I treaded my fingers through his unruly hair, he let out a satisfied hum at my actions "Yeah, it shows off your amazingly long legs and I get to do this" He smirked before sliding his hands under my thighs to my ass, squeezing it. I gasped and smacked his arm "Way to ruin the moment, Mr Styles" He rose an eyebrow and I rolled my eyes "It's not the first time I've called you that" I continued to play with his hair only to have his grasp on my butt cheek tighten.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me, Miss Montgomery?" Harry asked, his accent thick and I felt all the heat in my body rise to my cheeks "Maybe" I spoke in a soft, small voice as I averted my gaze from his piercingly, hypnotic green ones "Maybe I should do something about that" He drawled out, slipping his sinful fingers in between the band of my underwear and my skin. My breathing quickened, I gulped audibly which only caused Harry's smirk to deepen, his dimple embossed in the curve of his cheek - enough to make my body melt like ice on a hot summer's day. "Maybe you should" It was my turn to smirk upon Harry's reaction to my choice of words, "Christ, I created a monster" He chuckled and I leaned in encapsulating his lips between mine.
Maybe, just maybe, there won't be drama for a while.
