Another Day-Harry Styles & One Direction

Ch.5

I watched from afar as Harry held the small child in his arms. He was so good with this. It was like he already had a kid and had learned from it.

He slowly yet quietly rocked the small child in his arms back and forth as he sang her to sleep. The way his voice, so strong, was so soft was amazing.

"Hey." I whisper, careful not to wake lux as I approached them.

"Hey, where were you? I didn't see you for 15 minutes." he asks, sounding concerned. Aww, how cute..? Wait, what?

"I was just in the kitchen." I point back.

"Oh. Well, now that your back, Would you mind taking lux for a minute while I go and order something to eat?"

"Sure." I nod.

I hold out my arms for lux as Harry passes her over to me. He says a thanks with a smile before getting up and walking into the kitchen.

As soon as lux is in my arms, her eyes open wide and stare up at me in almost confusion.

"Hi, baby." I smile down at her in a calming and casual way.

She continued to stare as I smile down at her small figure.

I honestly don't know what to do, so my first instinct is to stand from the sofa and hold her on my hip, while walking to Harry.

As I walk into the kitchen, I see that Harry is still on the phone.. but not with the delivery person.

"Babe, I can't deal with this right now. You know I love you and I care about you, but like I said; I'm busy." he speaks into the phone. By the sound of it, He's speaking to his girlfriend.

"I know, I know. Look babe, it's no need to worry. Ariel is just Zayn's sister. Nothing will ever happen between us." he says.

Wow.. and I thought we were friends. Guess not..

I walk back into the living room, fast and furious. If we aren't friends then I guess I'll just stop hanging out with him.

In the minimum of 3 minutes, Harry is back with a big ass smile.

"Hey, I ordered us pizza." he says, sitting next to me.

"Cool." I shrug.

Harry looks at me for a second before asking,

"What's up with you?"

"I don't need to tell you. After all, I am just Zayn's sister." I say quoting him.

Harry's smile falls and his face goes to shock as he realizes what I'm talking bout and that I heard him.

"Oh, You-"

"Yeah, I heard you.." I say rolling my eyes in annoyance.

"Ariel, Im sorry. I only-"

"I know, I know.. You only said it to make whoever you were talking to on the phone feel better.." I cut him off.

I hand him back lux before standing up and walking away.

"Wait, Ariel!" he calls after me.

I sigh and turn around slowly.

"I need some space right now, Harry." I tell him, rubbing my temples.

Harry stands still in front of me as he frowns. after a good few seconds, he nods.

"Okay.."
