I was at the office, two weeks and Harry kept coming back here everyday. I could hear him blowing up on Jan while I was at my conference table with my niece Emma sleeping in a playpen in the center of the room. 

I was eating my noodles from my lunch as I reviewed my cases. 

"I've fucking been here every fucking day for the past two weeks! Where is he? I'm going in fuck you!" Harry yelled and my door stormed opened and his eyes darted over to me. 

"Mr. Styles you can't go in there!" Jan yelled and I sighed, standing up. "It's alright Jan. Mr. Styles, please." I said motioning him to come in. 

"You're the reaper?" He asked in disbelief, sitting infront of me. "I am. Close the door Jan please." I said and she smirked at me, obeying. 

"You're case is done. It's labeled processing because it needs to kill confirm but they can't since I burned the bodies." I said looking up to him finally and he was in utter shock. 

"But you're a woman." "For fucksake. What does it matter god. Yes I'm a woman. I have boobs and a vag. Any other obvious statements?" I asked standing up annoyed and went to grab my niece who was crying from the pen. 

"I didn't mean to offend you but you didn't seem to keen on meeting me last time." "I don't meet with my clients." I said bouncing around with Emma who giggled. My sister just had a baby and Emma isn't adjusting to not being the center of attention so they asked me to take her for a couple days, just until they can figure something out. 

"You're just so pretty to be a killer though." "I'm flattered, really, but I don't know what you expect when you think professional hit woman. Angelina Jolie?" I asked putting Emma down so she could walk around and handed her a pacifier. 

"She yours?" "No. My sisters kid, I get to watch her for a couple days so that my sister can tend to her newborn and Emma won't get jealous." I said pressing a kiss to her cheek making her giggle and run off to play with the toys in the center of the room. 

"Are they all dead?" Harry asked as I sat down and handed him a box of chinese food. "It's my extra plate." I said as he looked at me weirdly. "Extra?" "Yeah. I order an extra just in case I work long hours but I'm going home after this so." I shrugged and he nodded, thanking me and ate. 

"To answer your question, yes. All 96 men and your target. Dead." "Did they suffer?" "Some. Other's just let the poison consume them." "Poison?" "I poisoned them with carbon monoxide. Some figured it out others tried to gun and got shot but I ensured they all died." "How? Do you have pictures?" "No, I have videos." I said flipping my laptop and played the footage while I ate. 

"Hey precious. Want some?" I asked Emma as she ran up to my leg, hugging it. I smiled at her and grabbed a little bit of noodle and gave it to her, she giggled and ran off. "So you kept Grey?" "Oh god no. I killed him too. I've been after the bastard for a while now but that's a separate case." I shrugged and Emma whimpered as she walked over to me. 

"What is it princess?" I cooed and she held her hands up. "Bratty Patty." I laughed and picked her up, pressing kisses to her head. "You're sleepy aren't you princess?" I asked and she hid herself in my neck, whimpering. 

"She's ready for a nap. She would've been sleeping but you woke her up." "Sorry about that." "It's fine. You want to come home with us? I mean clearly you're the only person who knows I'm the reaper but most people call me Leslie as is." I shrugged and he looked at me weirdly. 

"Are you inviting me?" "I'm not asking again." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my things. "Sure. I'll go." He smirked and I held Emma as we walked down the hall. I got stares from people and smirks from Jan and those who knew of my crush on Harry as we got into the elevator. 

"I go night night." Emma sobbed and I chuckled. "You wanna go night night?" I asked her and she cried softly. "You're such a little faker!" I teased, nuzzling my nose into her neck making her giggle. "How old is she?" Harry asked and I sighed. 

"She just turned a year. She's a handful." "She looks so tiny." "Well I mean she's only one so I'd hope so. I hate for her to get bigger and disobey me because that's when problems start." I said and walked to my car, setting Emma in before sliding in to see Harry staring at me. 

"Why are you staring?" "I'm just surprised is all." "Of?" "You being nothing of what I expected." "Well Mr. Styles I'd like to keep it just you knowing my face or I'll have to kill you. I'm not even being funny." I said driving home and saw Emma falling asleep in the back seat. 

"I don't doubt that for a second. Call me Harry, please." "No. Mr. Styles sounds better." "How?" "It just does." "I think it sounds like a name you'd scream in bed." "All the more reason to call you Mr. Styles." I muttered and I could feel him stare at me. 

"What?" "Nothing." "I heard you the first time so there's no hiding it now." "I didn't say anything." I hummed and could hear him laugh. God why the fuck is he so perfect. "You're kinky?" "Partially." "Partially." "Why would I tell you all my secrets if I can just let you find out on your own?" I asked looking at him to see him with a smirk. 

"You're unlike any woman I've ever met. Tell me something I don't know about you." 

"I've had a crush on you for three years." "Three? We just met?" "Nope. You attracted me when you tried to save Charleston from me. The determination on you is really fucking hot. Throwing that out there and I've legit had the biggest crush on you. When your file landed on my desk I nearly lost it. I took it, of course." I shrugged and he looked shocked. 

"Really now? That was you?" "Oh baby, who else? I loved playing your little games and seeing you so angry on how you were going to save that poor man's life but it was so fun tangoing with you. You really kept me on my toes." "Three years and you finally meet me. Not behind a scope." "I didn't snipe Charlie. I took his heart and stabbed him." "How did you look at me then?" 

"Camera and binoculars. You look really attractive when you're angry. Why do you think I never told you your job was taken care of? I liked seeing you upset without knowing if it was cared for or not. I like to mess with you." I smirked at him, pulling into my house a few miles out of town. 

"The balls on you is amazing. I've never met a woman like you." "And I doubt you will." I hummed, parking in my garage and got Emma out. 

"Is this the part where you kill me?" Harry asked as I pushed open my door. "No. Why would I do that without sleeping with you first?" I winked and left it opened. I walked up the stairs to Emma's room and set her in the crib, tucking her in and pressed a kiss to her head. 

I walked downstairs to see Harry in the living room. "You have a beautiful home." "Thank you. I designed it." I looked around and narrowed my eyes, going into the kitchen. 

"Do you want anything to drink? I have beer, liquor, wine or water." "Beer?" I grabbed a bear and my favorite wine bottle and two glasses. 

"Here. Chase it down with this because it taste like nothing but liquor." I said and sat next to him. "Were you being serious about the crush thing?" He asked, taking a sip and I nodded drinking some of my wine after pouring it. 

"Isn't that a coincidence? I haven't stopped thinking about you since you rejected me two weeks ago. I go everyday and ask for you but you're always in meetings." "No, I'm not. Sometimes I'm just eating or literally taking a nap here. I tell Jan to tell you that to piss you off and give me something to play with." I shrugged and he smirked at me. 

"You're just an opened book aren't you." "I have nothing to loose."

 I said with a shrug. I set my wine down and turned to look at him. "What about you?"  "What about me." "What do you have to loose." I looked at him, examining his features as he let out a sigh.

"Everything."
