Harry's POV

I watch Taylor as she sleeps in my arms. My bare chest was pressed against her back, only my sheer white T shirt seperating us. We haven't gotten back into the intimate part of our relationship, but she was happy to take my shirt and wear around the house that evening over the pajama shorts that I had bought her years ago. They had little kittens on them. I was surprised when she had offered me to stay the night but of course I wasn't going to question it.

The sound of my phone caused both of us to stir. I wasn't in the mood to take a call right now but I better answer it this time, I could tell I was probably in trouble with the boys for skipping out on rehearsals today to be with Taylor. I finally jump out of Taylor's warm bed from her fluffy white bedsheets. She watches me as I walk over to her dresser to pick up my phone. There was no name on the caller ID. I answer it, expecting it to be Cory.

"Hello?" I answer in my groggy morning voice.

"Is this Harry Styles?" a familiar voice asks. I could place my finger on where I had heard it before.

"Yeah,' I say and then sit on the edge of her bed.

"Well Harry..Umm it's your father," The words that come out of the man's mouth seem farfetched.

"My father? How do I know that?" I question and Taylor crawls next to me.

"Don't you recognize my voice?" He asks and then clears his throat.

"I haven't spoken to my father in at least five years," I reply coldly.

"I know and that's my fault," He replies.

"well I don't even know if this is really him,' I defend.

"It is. I know that your sister and Ed Sheeran were in a relationship and that he's the one who introduced you to the lounge," His words are the truth. A truth that only few people know. A fan or outsider would not know this.

"what do you want?' I question rudely after a long pause.

"To see my son," was his response.

"You only want my fame," I reply dryly.

"Not at all. I have tried calling your mom and Gemma," He says softly.

"well you called the wrong person," I snap.

"Please Harry? Can we at least talk this out?" He sounded defeated.

"what is there to say. You abandoned me in worst times and now you want me in some of my better?" I didn't mean to phrase it that way infront of Taylor but it was the only honest way.

"I know and you should hate me. But this is the first time that I am back in town," He says with a half hearted laugh.

"Back from where?" I ask. This conversation was taking longer than I wanted.

"From..the worst places. But now I've realized that I am ready to become a father again. I messed up and I can fix everything," He pleas.

"I think we need to speak in person, but the fate will be the same. I'll give you a chance. Where shall we meet?' I ask, my hand was beginning to sweat and Taylor looked at me with concerned eyes.

"The place I have been staying is at the lounge. So we shall meet there. Plus that would be the last place you would expect to find popstar Harry Styles," He suggests.

"Oh..But if that man even comes near me then I will seriously flip," I warn.

"I'll make sure that he is out of sight and out of mind," My dad promises.
