casual affair

Chapter 6

Harry pov 

The next morning was, weird, to say the least. 

Etta rolled over to kiss me good morning like every morning and I tried to not let the immense guilt in my chest be shown. She got up to take a shower and I got up as well. 

"Wanna join me?" She asked over her shoulder looking at me. 

This was the first time she had ever asked me that, and I truly did not want to. 

I smiled and pecked her cheek, "Next time love, I'm gonna go start breakfast" I told her and swiftly left the room. 

I let out a breath when I got to the kitchen and shook my head trying to get myself together. 

If I was going to cheat on Etta, I was gonna be good at it. 

I then got out the eggs and bacon and began to cook while she was in the shower. I knew Niall wouldn't wake up for hours, so I knew I would be able to keep my cool until Etta left for work. 

She sauntered into the kitchen about an hour later, hair and makeup done, wearing a pencil skirt and a tight fitting blouse. She had her hair pulled up into a bun and was wearing black heels. 

She looked good, she always looked good. 

I hate myself. 

"You look lovely" I praised her and she blushed slightly and pecked my cheek. We ate breakfast together, her only mentioning Niall once asking if he was feeling better. I said yes and changed the subject to ask her about work. After we finished I cleaned up the kitchen and she kissed me goodbye as she walked out of the door. 

I looked out the window and saw her car was not in the driveway before exhaling again. I finished the kitchen and took a shower and getting ready myself, just throwing on some joggers and a hoodie. 

I waited a moment to see if Niall would come downstairs but deciding he was still asleep, I retreated to my office to begin working. 

I worked for a graphic design company, so most of my work was sent online and I spoke to clients via email or video chat. I used to get bored at the house by myself working, but now that the perky blonde boy was here with me, I didn't mind it anymore. 

At around eleven, I went to the kitchen to get some water when I heard soft footsteps come down the stairs. A very sleepy looking Niall, descended the stairs and rubbed his eyes as he walked to me in the kitchen. 

God he looked so cute, I just want to lay with him all day. 

He smiled sleepily at me and opened the fridge next to me and got juice. 

"Hi Haz" He said softly and I tried not to actually coo at him from how soft and sweet he was being. 

"Hi baby" I said and lightly pulled him into my arms hugging him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and sighed into my chest. 

"How are you feeling?" I asked him as we pulled away. 

He thought for a moment before smiling at me, "Good" He answered. 

He took his juice and sat on the chair at the counter and he looked at me. 

"And how are you?" He asked then giggled. 

I smiled, "Good, are you hungry?" I asked. Also realizing I had already cooked breakfast but if Niall was hungry I would again. 

What was this kid doing to me?

He shook his head, "No, i'm okay, do you have to work today?" He asked and frowned at me already expecting my answer. 

I did have to work, but one day wouldn't hurt anyone.
