Jayde's pov
My day starts at the early hour of six am. I lie away in bed staring up at the ceiling until I remeber that I have to get the kids up and take them to daycare and also get myself ready for the work day. In total the kids take around thirty minutes to get ready so I decide to just let them sleep in until they wake up on their own or its time for me to wake then up myself.
I roll out of bed and drag my feet all the way to the bathroom where I take my shower, get dressed and apply my makeup. While passing through my room to go to the kitchen I catch a glance at the clock and see it reads 6:56. Somewhat on time still.
As I pass the kids room, I notice Aaliyahs light is on and high pitched singing is seeping beneath the door. I open the door to see her fully dressed and putting her hair up in a ponytail. "Mommy can you put the bow in for me, please?" she extends her arm back holding up a black sparkly bow. I clip it in directly in front of the base of her ponytail and tighten her pontytail.
"Go into the kitchen and make yourself some cereal. Please dont make a mess." she rolls her eyes and places her hands on her hips. "I've got this mommy, im not some little kid." she straightens her arms out at her sides and sashays out the room like shes grown.
When I meet Aaliyah down in the kitchen, thankfully she has managed to pour herself milk and cereal eithout leaving a mess. "See, I told you mommy." I smile back at her and turn the coffee machine on to start my coffee. "Do you know if Pres is up?"
"He still sleeping, as usual." Someone is extra sassy this morning. As my coffee is being dispensed from the coffee machince I rush back down the hallway and to Preston's room. To my surprise he's already gotten himself halfway dressed. "Good morning babe, have you brushed your teeth yet?" he wipes his forehead where I kissed him and slides his shirt over his head.
"No, can you make me oatmeal."
"Yes, but hurry up and brush teeth." he squeezes past mw and walks into the bathroom. Once the sound of his elecetric toothbrush starts I walk back into the kitchen only to find a milk puddle right in front of the sink.
"Aaliyah Brooklyn Taylor Curtis, what did you do?" milk stains the front of her shirt, pants and shoes. She stays silents sms hangs her head down looking at the floor. I really do not have time for this this morning. "Please go to your room and put on the outfit I have laid out for Monday." she runs out of the kitchen and splashes in the milk while doing so causing it to get onto the cabinet doors.
"Fück me." I run the nearest towel under hot water eith soap and glide it across the floor until im pretty sure most of the milk is gone. I procceed wiping the counters and cabinets down until I hear footsteps stop and an irritated groan. "Mom! Where my oatmeal?" I sioemtly curse under my breath and throw the dirty milk towel into the sink.
"Sorry, sorry. Ill make it now, can you read what time it is?" I watch as he struggles to read it then his face brightens up. "Its seven, two, eight."
My adrenaline starts pumping and I start to panic. Im supposed to be leaving in two minutes but Preston still hasn't eatwn breakfast, Aaliyah is somewhere changing and I have none of my stuff ready. "You know what Pres, you can have oatmeal tomorrow. Take mommy's breakfast bar and go get in the car and get buckled. Bring your bag too!"
I don't even wait for him to get outside the door before I bolt back into Aaliyahs room to see she has a black romper on and cheetah print flats and a matching belt. "Aaliyah I did not pick that- you know what grab your bag and get in the car. Preston is already in there." I grab her backpack and shive it into her hands and softly puch her out of her room.
I dont have my shoes on, my coffe isn't made, Preston ate my last bar and I have no clue where my badge is. "You know what? Fück it." I grab my shoes and purse and head out into the garage and get in the car. Both kids seem to be buckled in their carseats and I instantly drive away. I look down at the time and it now reads seven thirty-seven. I speed all the way to the kids daycare and tell them as we pull into the parking spot to unbuckle themselves and hop out of the car.
We rush to the school entrance looking like complete messes, I get the kids to class with one minute to spare. "Rushed morning?" I nod and smile.
"Very, Im about to be late so ill talk to you later Cara!" I dsrt out of the kids classroom and out of the building. It takes twenty-five minutes to get yo my job from the kids preschool but with great luck their will be a pile up or traffic slowing me down.
I reached speeds up to ninety trying to make it to work on time. Before I got this job I vowed to myself that I wouldnt be late to work anymore, or atleast just not as much.
Two minutes left and I finally reach the front door of the building. I dig around in my purse for about ten before it hots my that I lost it somewhere at home. "Just my luck." I raise my hand getting ready to bang on the door until someone comes, but I beeping noise halts me and a man grabs the handle. "After you miss." I look up and Michael flashes me and bright white smile. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much."
"It's no biggie." we walk to the elevator with one another and walk into it. "Crap. I literally have thirty seconds until my shift starts."
"Don't sweat it. I'll tell Styles I held you up and didnt listen when you said you had to leave."
"Think he'll believe it?" he nods. "Most certainly even if he doesn't I know he'll get over it." I thank him about five time from the time the elevator starts to move all the way up to Harry's office, every time he chuckles.
I walk through the double glass doors without knocking and wilk in. Harry is in too deep on his phone to notice my arrivial so I quietly walk over to my desk, only to see a cup of coffe and a breakfast sandwhich waiting for me on my desk. "What's got your attention Styles?" Michael slides on top of Harry's desk and takes his phone out of his hand.
Harry instantly snatches it back from him and pockets it. "My mum. She's already planning for me to come home during Christmas." the men engage in a short converstaion and soln after Michael leaves. "I'm really sorry about yesterday, I was just having a rough day and had to take it out on someone, okay. I didnt mean the things I said and I take it all back."
"I accecpt your apology, did you get me this." I gesture towards the coffee and sandwhich, he curtly nods. I quietly thank him and sit down at my desk.
Footsteps inch towards my desk and they stop directly behind me. Large hands grip each of my shoulders and massage them. His hands were large, a feeling of nostalgia ran through my body as his rings grazed against my skin.
"Harry.." my tone came out suggestive as if I was enjoying it but confusrd, which was entirly true.
He dipped low, his lips next to my ear, "It's been a while since we've done this." his hands soothing down my arms, like flashbacks of what we used to be and I could feel myself falling back into his touch.
"I want to take you out," he left a soft kiss behind my ear, I couldn't help but shift under his touch, "treat you," another gentle kiss, "please you." his voice lowered.
"I-I dont know Harry, were just getting back into things after years, I need to check my schedule you-"
"I get it. Your a busy woman." he turned my chair around standing over me with his single finger across my lips, "I need to make it up to you," his tone was serious. His words sincere and I felt myself gazing into his trusting eyes.
"What place did you have in mind and when?" I could really go for a free dinner, I haven't had my meal paid for in a while and its about time.
"Friday. At that fancy bistro in the heart of the city, the one with the five star course meal and the people who walk around with food." I look away from him and down at my desk, feeling a blush creep up upon my brown and well highlighted cheeks. "Is that a yes, Miss.Kavanaugh?"
"I guess it is Mr.Styles."
