The Encounter |H.S|

77

I sit silently in the passenger seat of Harry's car, looking down at my hands as he drives next to me with furrowed eyebrows and clenched jaw while Anne's car follows our path.

After Anne got the shocking news of the existence of her granddaughter, she immediately demanded to see her. So Harry asked Megan to keep an eye on anything that might be important while we're away, which won't be for long.

"I thought you had already told your mum about Hazel," I murmur, side glancing at him as he breathes out with a shake of his head before looking at me briefly.

"I should have done that, I'm so stupid." He sighs and I smile faintly at his words, setting a hand on his shoulder for a slight moment as he stops at a red light.

"She'll forgive you, you don't have to get frustrated about it," I reassure him, watching him carefully as the light turns green and the car moves once again while he shakes his head with a smirk on his lips.

"I'm more frustrated with the fact that I wanted to bend you over my desk and fuck you and now I can't." He confesses, causing me to gasp at his words with widened eyes before slapping his arm with furrowed eyebrows.

"Language!"

He merely laughs as I roll my eyes at his behaviour, crossing my arms over my chest as we stop in front of my house.

Hazel's babysitter is probably already inside, so that means Louis is gone since he's the one who stays with Hazel until she gets to our house, so I'm assuming that it'll be sort of surprising for us to show up without any warning.

He grabs my hand suddenly and brings it to his lips with a playful glint in his eyes while I squint my eyes at him before I pry my hand away from him so I can get out of the car.

I wait for Harry to get out as well before turning around just in time to see Anne parking her car not too far away, feeling Harry's arm wrapping around my waist as we wait for her.

I attempt not to laugh as she gets out of the car, shaking her head and muttering something to herself while side glancing at Harry. We all walk towards the front door and I open it slowly so I don't alarm anyone. 

"Where's everybody?" I ask aloud, half hoping for an answer as we step inside, hanging our coats by the front door before I walk to the middle of the entrance while trying to hear any voices.

Hazel's babysitter appears in the hallway with a raised pan in her hand and widened eyes, setting her other hand over her chest as she sighs out of relief. "I nearly had a heart attack right now."

"I'm sorry Luna, we had a bit of a predicament." I laugh as Anne waves happily at her and Luna smiles faintly at the surprise guests since she had never met Harry as well.

Luna is a bit younger than probably most babysitters, but she does an amazing job nonetheless and Hazel seems to like her a lot. She's been her babysitter since I started working because I couldn't let Louis give up from his job just so I could go to work.

"It's alright! Hazel's in the kitchen because I was trying to find something to eat," She pauses, looking at the three of us and then looking at the pan in her hand, "I'm really hungry."

I laugh at her words, gesturing for the other two to follow me into the kitchen and immediately hearing Hazel gasping at the sight of us as if we weren't meant to be there.

"Ma!" She exclaims, raising her arms in the air, waiting for me to pick her up from her high chair and I gladly do so.

I turn around while Luna walks further into the kitchen, seeing Harry and Anne standing by the doorway and he grins down at her before setting a hand on her shoulder and bringing her closer to Hazel.

"Oh, she's so beautiful." She tears up while Hazel raises her eyebrows and looks over at Harry, reaching out to touch his cheek with a giggle and he grins at her.

"Just like her father, right?" Harry lifts his chin as if to prove himself, furrowing his eyebrows when we both start laughing loudly, even Luna snickers.

"If that's what makes you happy, honey," Anne says with a shake of her head while I set Hazel in her arms carefully so she doesn't freak out. Hazel is not a big fan of being held by people she doesn't see daily and even though that wasn't the case with Harry, I still fear she might cry in these situations.

She seems confused for a moment and glances at Harry with a frown before Luna walks closer while eating a cookie, "You know, Hazel is kinda weird because she doesn't cry much." She says, biting into her cookie with furrowed eyebrows and I grin lightly.

"Maybe she doesn't have reasons to do so, I mean, she has such cool parents so it's understandable," Harry smirks with raised eyebrows, brushing Hazel's curls back which causes her to attempt to push his hand away.

Anne completely ignores him as she stares at Hazel and Luna does the same, only this time looking at her purse on top of the table with a pensive look, completely unbothered.

I hide my face on his shoulder to not laugh loudly at the lack of response to Harry's statement before breathing in sharply, taking a look at Hazel as she looks curiously at Anne.

"I think she likes you, Anne!" I tell her joyfully while reaching for Harry's hand to hold it, feeling him squeeze my own as I do so and Anne smiles brightly.

"Thank you, Eve, even though I would've liked to have known about this sooner I'm still thankful I got to meet Hazel." She affirms with a nod, passing Hazel over to Luna who sends a confused glance in Hazel's direction which causes her to laugh quietly.

"You can see her whenever you'd like, it's your granddaughter after all and–" His ringtone interrupts his speech and we all look at him with raised eyebrows as he grumbles before picking up the call.

"How lovely." Anne jokes with a laugh and I snicker while glancing up at him as he looks up with a defeated sigh and a shake of his head, grumbling words too lowly for me to hear.

Hazel babbles almost as quietly as him as if mocking his posture and I try not to laugh as Harry hangs up the call with an annoyed look on his face. "We have to go back, Zayn is arguing with a photographer and it's not good."

I let out a laugh at the situation. Of course it's Zayn.

Kinda boring but I hope you're enjoying nonetheless!♡
