The Encounter |H.S|

62

Harry had whined the whole day about wanting to spend the night with me and after a lot of pouting and needless kisses, he eventually managed to convince me.

However, I am regretting my decision. Because Harry spent the whole night glued to me and as small beams of sunlight peek through the blinds his position is still the same as it was throughout the night, his head on my chest and his body on top of mine, hands on my waist while snoring lightly.

I yawn, it was a bit harder than usual to fall asleep since Harry decided to sleep this way the whole time but it was bearable. Running my fingers through his hair, I look at the clock on the wall and sigh at the realisation that soon I will have to get up.

I try to glance at Hazel, smiling as she moves in her sleep before letting out a small sigh and holding her plushie closer to her, feeling Harry stir in his sleep before he begins pressing lazy kisses on my collarbone.

"Good morning, handsome." I laugh when he shakes his head dismissively, proceeding with the kisses on the skin of my neck while his hands move to cup my jaw, tilting my head so he has more access to press kisses.

"I don't feel very well." He mutters, his voice hoarse due to the fact that he just woke up before he raises his head to look down at me with a forced smile.

"It was predictable, you got a little drunk." I remind him, brushing his messy curls back while he breathes out in frustration, cupping my cheek and looking over at Hazel.

I grin when I hear Hazel giggling, knowing already that she's woken up and ready to start her day probably more than Harry and I. 

After pushing Harry away from me I sit up, running a hand through my hair before getting up and walking towards Hazel's crib, taking her in my arms and standing by the bed looking down at Harry as he refuses to get up.

"Harry come on, I want to make breakfast for Lou." I roll my eyes as Hazel grins down at him while moving her arm in a way to try to get his attention and he side glances at us before sitting up while rubbing his eyes.

"Will you make breakfast for me as well?" He sends me a pleading smile while I stare blankly at him before he extends his arms for Hazel and she laughs while leaning towards him.

He takes her in his arms before getting up and we all walk to the kitchen as silently as possible, failing miserably when Hazel starts laughing after kissing Harry's cheek and he visibly tries not to laugh.

After setting Hazel on her high chair we both begin making breakfast together while Hazel keeps entertaining herself by humming and babbling to herself.

Once I set everything on the table, Louis appears in the kitchen with furrowed eyebrows as Harry sits down next to Hazel with a light smile while I give him ibuprofen since he's been complaining about not feeling well.

"What's all of this?" Louis asks, sitting down on a chair while I pat Harry's hair before sitting down with a smile on my lips as Louis looks questioningly at his food.

"Breakfast, I think it's pretty obvious." I snicker, bringing my cup of coffee to my lips while Louis arches an eyebrow as Hazel brings a piece of fruit to her mouth.

He simply hums, starting to eat along with us and Harry sighs a bit too loudly, making me look at him with a frown while he pouts at me. "I still need to drive to my house, I can't go to work with the clothes from yesterday."

I chuckle at his dramatic behaviour, proceeding with eating my breakfast before Louis gets up, taking his empty plate and mug and setting them on the sink, standing in front of us right after with an awkward cough.

"Eve, would you mind if I stay home with Hazel today?" He asks shyly, avoiding eye contact and turning his head to the side, causing me to smile in amusement.

"Of course, we all need our own Hazel sometimes." 

He smiles brightly, running a hand through his hair before sitting down to wait for Hazel to finish eating, grinning at her as she evaluates the slice of apple she has in her tiny hand.

I finish eating, smiling over at Louis as he keeps an eye on Hazel and Harry helps me put everything on the sink, both of us walking away to get ready.

I walk towards the bathroom to take a quick shower while Harry gets ready in the bedroom and once I'm finished I roll my eyes at myself for forgetting to bring clothes.

After wrapping a towel around my body, I tiptoe to my bedroom silently and Harry immediately turns his head to look at me as I catch him snooping my drawers, already fully dressed. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Looking for lingerie." He blurts out, smiling fakely at me as I search in my closet for something to wear with puckered lips, holding the towel closer to my body so it doesn't fall.

"Third drawer."

He doesn't reply and I hear his whistle not long after, causing me to roll my eyes with a shake of my head while pulling out a white suit.

"Can you wear this one?" He smirks at me, wiggling his eyebrows up and down suggestively while eyeing me as I furrow my eyebrows at what he chose. 

"You want the white one?" I ask, arching an eyebrow as he puckers his lips in amusement at my confused face as I analyse the lacy material.

"If you think about it, it matches your outfit." He sits on my bed, looking up at me as I grab what he chose along with my outfit while sending him a playful glare.

I walk to the bathroom once again to dress up, leaving as soon as I'm ready and I decide to step into the living room to spend some time with Louis before leaving.

"Hey sweetie, you alright?" I sit down on the couch next to him as he holds Hazel in his arms, who presses a kiss on his cheek with a giggle.

"I'm better than yesterday." He shrugs, sniffing lightly as if to avoid crying and I furrow my eyebrows, kissing his cheek before patting his hair.

"I never thought she'd do this, I'm so disappointed and I can't imagine what you're feeling," He looks away as I speak, avoiding eye contact while Hazel touches his cheek curiously, "just relax today, you deserve it."

"Thank you, Eve." He smiles at me, pulling me into a hug while still holding Hazel and she immediately whines while moving around in his hold.

"I'll ask Harry if I can leave earlier today, can't promise anything though."

"Don't worry about it, I'm pretty sure Haz will be a great company either way." I smile at his nickname for Hazel, holding his hand briefly before kissing Hazel's cheek and getting up just as Harry stops at the doorway with his hands on his hips as if disappointed.

"You left the bathroom and didn't even tell me, I was waiting for you!"
