Bound Together

Chapter 27

Harry's pov-  

1 week later  

"Harry?" Ruby shouts to me from downstairs. I'm currently upstairs sorting all the stuff out from my old flat that I basically just dumped in a spare room in this house, I knew it wouldn't be long until Ruby insisted well forced me to sort all my shit out. I gladly left the room in a probably worse mess than I when I started and made my way downstairs to see what Ruby wanted. I walked into the kitchen and take in the sight in front of me I locked eyes with Ruby before I completely burst out laughing. She had been cooking all day making me leave the kitchen until she was actually finished this apparent masterpiece, but the kitchen is a complete mess and I see no sign of anything edible. I glance back at Ruby to see her slight smirk and she tries to hold back her laugh and stay serious, but after watching me smirk at her constantly she begins to laugh, a sound I don't think I'll ever tire of. I soon join in until we both physically can't stop, up to the point where tears we streaming down our face even though it wasn't that funny but just looking at each other was setting us off laughing again. Ruby broke the laughing by speaking up first. 

"Harry stop." She tries to hold back a laugh again."Seriously I tried so hard all day but I've just completely failed!" She says as she sinks down to the floor. I walk over sitting down next to her. 

"Ruby it doesn't matter, we knew whatever you were going to make would be shit anyway." I joked as she hit me across the back of my head muttering shut up, as I laughed again. Once she heard my laugh I saw her start to playfully hit me again but I quickly grabbed her wrists as she struggled to get out of my grip. 

"You don't want to hit me again babe."  

"Oh but I do." She replied quickly squirming from my grasp but I kept a tight hold on her. 

"Harry what's that?" She points behind me looking scared, I automatically think of the notes I'm being sent about Ruby and whip my head round to see nothing, I turn around to question Ruby but I see her running away as she escaped my hands, laughing once again. I chase after her until she's backed into a corner of the sitting room. 

"No one runs away from me Ruby do you understand?" Before she can even reply I push my lips against hers roughly as her legs wrap around my waist and her hands tugs on my curls. My hands are I placed on her thighs as I deepen the kiss pushing myself as close to her as possible. I can't help but feel disappointed when Ruby pulls away but seeing her eyes sparkle as she look back at me.  

"So anyways.." She begins me still frowning because she pulled away from our kiss. "Can you go and pick Alexa up from nursery because I need to clean the kitchen?" She asks. 

"Course I can, that means I don't have to finish sorting that stuff upstairs." I reply smirking. 

"Harry how have you not finished yet.." She begins to ramble and I know I'm about to be lectured so before she continues I shout  

"Gotta go don't want to be late for Alexa, bye babe." As I run out the door.  

I hop in the car, and turn the radio on it's only a 10 minute drive to the nursery, so as it's 3.15 now I'll be there in plenty of time. The roads seem to be traffic free and I end up arising at 20 past so I still have 10 minutes to wait, I notice that other parents are early so I walk into the playground waiting for Alexa. I hear a bell come from inside thinking finally, and all the children's mothers have been staring at me since I got here. I look around the various children trying to spot Alexa, soon her bright blonde hair comes into sight, I look down to see her holding hands with someone I look up to see it's Zayn.  

Fucking Zayn seems to be everywhere I turn, I promised Ruby I would try and be civil towards him and there's not like I could even say I think to him in the environment were in those mothers have done enough staring for one day. Zayn approaches with a plastered fake smile across his face, but I notice as soon as I Alexa see's me she pulls away from Zayn's grasp making me smile as she grabs ahold of my leg hugging me.  

"I just have to come to tell you Alexa fell today and scraped her head a little, but the first aider took a look at put a cool pack on it and it should be fine." Zayn tells me, I'm angry that Alexa hurt herself whilst in his care however I force myself not to cause a scene in front of Alexa.  

"Okay, well thanks for letting me know." I reply as nicely as I can, he looks surprised at my politeness. 

"That's no problem mate. He says still smiling at me. 

"Don't call me mate I'm not you're mate." I reply through gritted teeth. 

"How's Ruby then?" He asks clearly pushing me. 

"I think you'll find that's none of your business." 

"Oh but it was my business last week." He mutters  

"What did you just say?" I question him trying not to shout but failing. 

"I said it was my business last week." He replies louder and more confident. 

"What's that supposed to mean?" I sneer. 

" I'm just saying it seemed like my business last week when she was kissing me." He smugly replies. I look down to Alexa, and see fright in her eyes after witnessing mine and his argument I quickly pick her up without saying another word to Zayn. After fastening Alexa in the car I race home, feeling sick at the thought of anyone other than myself kissing Ruby. As soon as I'm home I take Alexa straight upstairs without a word to Ruby, and leave her playing with her cuddly toys. I storm into the kitchen and see Ruby smile and come over her arms stretched out to wrap around my neck, I take a step back away from her and she looks puzzled.  

"What's wrong?" She's asks all innocent. 

"Did you kiss Zayn?" I bluntly ask, needing the truth. 

"Harry I can explain.." She starts but seeing as she doesn't immediately deny I walk straight back out the house with out another word.
