The Nanny (Harry Styles)

Chapter 10

"Wake up asshole!" The voice that was coming from the bottom of my feet, given the weight and language, was not my usual Sunday Noelle wakeup call.

I blinked a few times, clearing the sleep from my eyes, before sitting up and finding a fresh faced and fully dressed Annaleise.

"It's Styles outing day! Wake up sleepyhead, You've got to get your people ready to go, we're leaving in an hour." Anna said, tapping my legs a few times. I raised an eyebrow.

"I know what day it is, what are you doing here?" I said, reaching over to my nightstand and taking a sip of the bottle of water sat there, glancing at the clock. I had plans to sleep for another 20 minutes, not really thinking I needed a full hour to get ready for the day.

Harry had informed me last night while I was helping him with the laundry the first Sunday of every month was a day out for the family.Whatever the activity was started at promptly at ten a.m. I got to pick where we were going this time around. Apparently his mother had implemented it since both her children had kids now, and Harry wasn't off touring the world anymore.

"Zayn invited me!" She said, stalking into my closet. She reappeared holding a bright blue sundress of mine. For early May it was quite balmy out, so I didn't turn her around to go grab a jacket.

"Zayn is going? Since when?" I asked, getting up out of bed, pulling down my sleep shorts.

"Since I don't know, but Louis and Emma are as well. Just get dressed and wake Noelle and Harry, Anne and Gemma are downstairs making breakfast and it has mine and Z's name on it."

"Z? You're at a nickname stage? When were you going to mention that?" I asked, moving around her and into my closet to grab a sweatshirt to toss over the camisole I was currently wearing.

"Not so much a nicknames as a letter. But maybe you should broaden your friendships past three year olds and her cat and give me a call sometime so I can brag about how great my boyband member is in the sack." She said, biting her lip and grinning at me.

I gaped my mouth open, stopping putting my hair into a tie and letting my hands fall to my side, "You've shagged him!?"

She nodded, opening my jewelry case and pulling out a tear drop necklace with a yellow stone and the bracelet to match, "About a week ago. When he was out of the house that day when you first met Anne? Then. In your old room I might add. You had an amazing mattress, why ever did you move out?"

I opened my mouth to press on for details, but she started speaking first.

"Ah, I know! It's so you can jump a few paces ahead, secure a house before you fall in love with Casanova." She said glancing down at Lucy who was rubbing against her feet. She made a face, and I rolled my eyes, scooping her up.

"How did you get out of Noelles room, bub? And will you come off the idea of Harry and I. I swear you're mental. He is my boss. Not to mention a bit of an emotional mess. He was crying the other night." I said quietly, still feeling bad I witnessed the moment.

"Over what?" Annaleise asked and I glanced at my alarm clock, realizing I needed to wake Noelle in a few minutes.

"Noelle. The night you two and Zayn were busy romping around, Harry was I don't know, talking to his Mum in his office and I couldn't find Noelles night light and he put her to sleep the night before and I walked in. He was saying something about how he was being harped on by Harper." At this she snorted, and I threw a glare her way before continuing, "And he was you know, crying. I just sort of looked at him and scurried out."

"Why didn't you give him a cuddle or something?" Annaleise screeched and I huffed.

"I'm not going to hug the man while he is crying to his bloody mother! I have to wake Noelle now. And Harry." I added as an afterthought. I shooed her out of my closet, shutting the door behind us.
