Rock Me // H.S.

Chapter Five

"I need to go back into Styles." I told Alexander as I rushed and shoved my things at my shoulder bag.

"This early? I thought you have late working hours?" He questioned.

"Mr. Styles' wife is coming home today so we need to be there, completely." I shrugged. I never heard him responded after that. I looked at him as he pouts.

"I'll see you later." I told him as I kiss his cheeks. Damn Alexander! If he wasn't my brother, I'd probably date him!

"Do you want me to pick you up?" He asked.

"No need." I smiled.

"Sure?" He asked again.

"Yep. I have a car, you know." I rolled my eyes at him playfully and walked out of the room. As I walk downstairs, I saw Aunt B and Charles talking to their daughter, Chase.

"Hi guys." I waved at them. They all turned their heads to look at me. I look at each of them. Charles had his lips straighten in a line. Aunt B had a nervous expression in her face, while Chase, is looking like a teary-eyed princess. Is there a problem? "I'm off to work early, I'll be back before dinner."

"Safe ride, Ade." Charles smiled a little.

I've waved one last time before walking out of the house with curiosity in my head. What's up with Chase?

I hopped inside my car. Wow, that's something else. Calling a car on my own is something I really am proud of.

Remembering our Dad's grandparents, I quickly took the letter shoved inside my bag and looked at the address. It was from Alaska, yeah. Maybe I could say thanks to them after my work. I put the letter back in my bag and picked up my phone, texting Chase.

We'll talk later, okay? Just breathe.

Chase and I aren't that super close but... I can try, right? Besides, she's family.

I started driving away, feeling happy to hold a steering wheel of my own. Along the ride, I can't help but have this shitty grin in my face that I can't even get off.

When I got into the Styles Residence, I saw a woman in front of the house. She carries a small kid in her waist. She's dressed neatly, and so the little boy. They both walked inside the house, Carol opening the front gate.

"Shit, I'm late." I cursed to myself. I quickly went out of my car, locking it after. I walked over to the gate, Carol is surprised to see me putting back the keys inside my bag.

"Hi." I nervously greeted.

"You're late." She said.

"I know." I bit my lip.

"It's okay, you can use the back door." She smiled dearly, pointing at the right side of the mansion.

"Thanks." I replied and quickly took the back door just to get inside the house, without gaining some attention from the lady boss.

I quickly got in my uniform and headed to the kitchen, finding Jane and Mara cleaning up the dining table.

"Hi there." I greeted both of them.
