50 Shades Freed

Chapter 31

A little thing that you guys should know before I continue with the book. One I don't know how long I'm going to make this book. It's much longer than the other one's which doesn't bother me but still we'll see what happens. And I didn't finish reading the actual third book because it wasn't good in my opinion. So pretty much this book is compiled of little things that I know happen in the book and the majority comes from whatever I decide I want to happen. So yeah that's all I have to say.

***********

Aspen was fast asleep by the time we made it to Harry's office. I could tell from the hints he was dropping this morning that he wanted Aspen and I to drop by and I was more than happy to do that. I smiled stepping into the building I had come to know so well. I looked down at Aspen making sure the rustling sounds of the office hadn't woken her.

I walked up to the receptionist making her eyes dart up at me. She was new, and her name tag read Fawn Williams. Interesting name. "Mr Horan..I mean Mr. Styles." She says gulping a little bit. She tilts her head over the desk taking a peak at Aspen smiling a little. "She's gorgeous."

"Thank you very much, Is Harry busy?" She shakes her head pointing towards his office door. "Has he been...particularly rude to anyone?" She seems uneasy by the question letting me know that he has been quite unpleasant throughout the day. "I'll talk to him." I send her a playful wink making her smile sheepishly as I walk back towards Harry's office.

I gently knock on the door hearing a come in from the other side. I open the door peaking my head in seeing a woman leaning over Harry's desk as he stares at whatever she's presenting to him clearly uninterested. His eyes dart up to me and his blank expression is replaced with a smile as he stands up from the desk. The woman takes a small step away from Harry before looking over at me.

"You came." Harry says walking over kissing my forehead looking down at Aspen. I nodded keeping my eyes on the woman who was staring at us intently. Something didn't feel right about her, but I knew better than to say anything.

"Sadie, give me a minute?" Harry says looking over his shoulder at the woman who now had a name. She nods politely walking past me and out the door giving Aspen a small glance.

"Who is she?" I ask watching as Harry gently lifts Aspen out of her carrier.

"She's a decorator. She's helping me redecorate the office." He answers kissing Aspen's forehead making her stir a little bit. I decide it best to leave the conversation there enjoying the moment with Harry. I looked around his office feeling as though I hadn't been here in ages.

"Your new receptionist seems on edge today?" Harry looks over at me arching his eyebrow clearly not understanding what I was getting at. "Remember me telling you not to be mean today?"

"Listen Niall...You don't understand how many idiots I have to deal with on a day to day basis. I have simple rules and expectations that I expect them to follow. They're utterly incapable of following orders." I can see his dominant side peaking out of him and it makes me insides turn.

"You miss being in control of something is all." I smile stepping towards him placing my palm flat against his chest. He looks down at my hand and his eyes reconnect with mine, and they turn a shade darker.

"You have no idea..."

I take Aspen out of his arms placing her back in her carrier. "I have to be going." He nods making sure to keep his eyes on me. "I promised Liam that he could see Aspen today. Maybe I'll let him keep her for the night." I shrug looking back at Harry seeing that his eyes have yet to leave me. "I'll take that as an okay."

I stand up placing a soft and subtle kiss to Harry's lips feeling his strong arm wrap around my waist pulling our bodies together. "Later." I whisper to him gently placing my finger against his lips before putting space between us.

He smiles walking me to the door opening it for me letting me walk out. Sadie was standing there with her notebook clasped close to her chest as she again was staring at Harry and then myself.  I nodded her way before heading towards the front desk again heading out to where the car was waiting for me.

"Oh I love her so much." Liam nearly screamed holding onto Aspen as she screamed back playing with his cheeks. I smiled watching the two of them together as I made a few bottles for the night so that Liam wouldn't have to make any. I stepped back into the living room seeing Edward now sitting next to Liam as they adored the small baby in between them.

"You know adopting is a great thing honestly. Have you two ever thought about it?" I look at them both sitting down on the small couch across from them. I see the way their eyes connect and they both shrug.

"We have a wedding to plan and follow through with. Maybe after that." Edward says. "For now we are having a great time with the little monster." He pretends to eat Aspen's feet earning himself a kick in the face making everyone in the room laugh including Aspen.

"You're sure that you two can keep her for the night? She hasn't spent a night away from Harry and I since she's been born. And you don't have a crib or..."

"I bought a play pin because I knew that you would freak out if I didn't have one." Liam interrupts me and I smile a little knowing that he already knew my concerns before I did.

"I'm serious though Liam, if anything happens please call." I walk over to Aspen lifting her up making her giggle as she looks at me. "Daddy will be back tomorrow okay?" She looks at me as if I've said the most interesting thing in the world before blowing a spit bubble and popping it herself. I shake my head handing her back to Liam after kissing her a few times.

"Go have fun, you deserve it." Liam says

I nod a little knowing that he was right. I did deserve it.

Comment what you think.

I was reading this story and the author kept making people comment. I hate when people do that. Like 30 comments and then I'll update. I mean it's okay if you do it I guess but it's frustrating to me honestly lol. I get wanting people to comment but they will, I don't see the need in forcing it.
