Zayn's Little Sister

Chapter 4

I sing along as the boys do soundcheck, giggling as Zayn starts hitting Niall's butt causing him to flinch. I catch Harry's eye and he smiles allowing me to return the same gesture until Zayn looks between us. I quickly look down and fumble with my phone trying to hide the small moment from my brother that just happened between the curly haired boy and I. My thumb slides to unlock my phone as my lips turn up in a smile at mybackground. "Eyes for curly huh?" My head turns and I meet Lou's eyes. Lux is in her arms, fisting at her mom's long hair.

I shake my head, giggling slightly, hoping she will drop the topic. "I'm Ariana. Lou right?" She nods, "I know. Harry has spoken quite fondly of you to me." My cheeks burn which I attempt to hide my playing with a curl that hangs below my chest. Lux notices my actions and clings a thick ringlet of my hair in her small palm. I smile at her, "Hi cutie." "Harry has the same nickname for her." I bite down on my lip, "I'm not going to get away from the topic of Harry am I?" She smiles and allows the toddler to stand on her feet, "Nope." Lux waddles over to Harry who sips water, finishing up soundcheck. "Zayn might not notice but everyone else does. Haz has eyes for you and from what I'm seeing you seem to return the favor." Lou pulls her phone from her pocket as an alarm goes off, "Time to get the boys in makeup, but don't worry we will continue this conversation later." She sends me a sly wink before making her way over to Harry and scooping Lux from his tattooed arms.

I watch as Lou leaves and the boys stand, "So you'll be okay hanging out with one of us while the rest of us get our makeup done, alright? That way you don't have to sit out here by yourself." Zayn asks, pulling me to my feet. "Yeah I'll probably just hang out with Harry until it is time for him to get his makeup done." "Why Harry?" Zayn questions me. "We have to discuss when our next video game day is." Harry says getting the hint I needed a reason to be alone with him. "Oh, alright." Zayn says as he and the other boys exit the room leaving me and a laughing Harry. "That was almost a trainwreck." I say watching him laugh, showing his dimple. "You seem like you need a hug." he says, looking down at me, his towering height almost unbearable. I smile as he opens his arms for a hug. I'm about have my arms around him, when the door flies open.

"Well, well, well what's going on here?" Louis ask smirking, with Lux on his hip, his hair freshly done. "Nothing." I say looking over at Harry. "Just having a hugging day. I want to give out free hugs. Do you want a hug Louis?" Harry asks arms open. "I do Harwee." Lux says running up to him after slipping from Louis' arms. "Alright, come here cutie." Harry says swooping up Lux in his arms. I grin at their relationship, imagining how great of a dad Harry will be. Light giggles are let from her mouth as Harry's large hands work at Lux's little stomach. Louis swoops her back and presses kisses to her cheek before leaning down to her ear, "Let's leave the love birds alone." Lux giggles, obviously having no idea what Louis whispered to her. I scoff, swatting at his arm, "Shut up Lewis." His nose scrunches at my choice of name calling as he leaves the room. "Lou needs you in ten Harry." he calls over his shoulder right before the door shuts.

Harry's body becomes relatively close to mine as he starts pushing me towards the wall, a habit I have noticed he has everytime he goes to kiss me. "Why do you always get to be mister powerful and push me against the wall? Why can't I be the all cute and dominant for once?" Harry laughs, gripping my waist a little tighter, his eyes closing.  When he opens his eyes, my bottom lip is sticking out in attempt to stop my laughter. I turn his body around to where his back is towards me and then step in front of him, meeting green eyes and a smirking smile, "You're already cute Ari." I try to ignore the heat rising to my cheeks at the nickname he has given me by placing my hands on his forearms. I stand on the tips of my toes and lean towards him, waiting on him to meet me halfway. He smirks at me struggling to meet his lips at my short height.

"Lean Styles!" I instruct, finding it hard not to smile when he is looking at me with a goofy grin playing at his lips. His lips meet mine and I smile at the contact, attempting to back his tall statue up. I press harder on his forearms and pull away when he still doesn't move. "What happened to being all dominant?" he asks. Laughter releases from my throat as I pout, "I can't." "Good thing you're cute huh?" I pinch his hip where my hand rests, "One day I'll get you Styles." He nods, "Sure Ari, whatever you say love."

I nod, "I'm going to start working out and get a lot of muscle and then one day I will just walk in, push you against the wall, and-" "Harry!" Lou yells from the other room. The only thing stopping her from an embarrassing comment towards Harry and my relationship being my brother in the same room. "And what?" Harry asks, licking at his bottom lip before the reappearing smirk resumes it's place on his mouth. "Harry!" Lou yells again, this time more strain in her voice. "Nothing, go!" I order, attempting to push him in the direction of the hair and makeup room. When he doesn't move I sigh, my hands finding my hips in surrender watching as Harry smirks over his shoulder at me. "Yeah, yeah dominance isn't my thing. Now go. Lou is waiting." In one quick motion his lips find mine and before I know it he is off towards the door, his long legs taking quick strides.

        "I won't be long in hair and makeup, maybe then we can try this whole dominance thing again."  I sit down in a chair, crossing my legs, "No, thanks. I think I'll just let you have it from now on." He chuckles, peering over his shoulder, "See you in twenty babe." I slip my hands in the pockets of his flannel that still covers my figure as Zayn walks out of the room Harry walked into. "Did Harry just call you babe?" he asks. "Just a friendly gesture." I answer, my voice quiet. "I don't want you dating my band members." he reminds me sitting by my side. I just want one member. "I know it seems dumb to you when they are all so dreamy," he says, flipping his invisible hair making me giggle, "but it is just best. Trust me." "Okay." I nod as he leans in to hug me. My head rests on his shoulder as I peer in the open makeup door. Harry's eyes meet mine and he winks making me smile.
