Harry's POV

"Thank you ever so much." I said to Emily as she removed Aurora from my arms. "I fed her a bottle about an hour ago so you might not have to give her one till around sevenish."

"Alright." Emily smiled. "What time will you be here to pick her up?"

"I will be here by eight, so about two and a half hours." I replied as I walked into her and Jade's home. I walked over to the couch and placed Aurora's diaper bag upon it. "I brought extra nappies, and some extra clothes just in case." 

"She will be just fine, quit worrying so much, papa."  Emily laughed lightly as she walked over to me. Aurora moved slightly in her arms, her big blue eyes moved slowly from side to side as if she was taking in her surroundings, even though I knew that she had seen the inside of Emily's home multiple times. 

" Emily, who's at the door?" I heard a deep voice ask from down the hallway.

" Harry. " Emily replied. " He's leaving Aurora for an hour or so."

" Who is that?" I asked in a whisper.

" Zayn, he came over about an hour ago. He's waiting for Juliet to come home from work." She replied before rolling her eyes. 

" Oh." I said, sadly.

" Hey, Harry! " Zayn said as he walked into the living room, his jeans were hanging dangerously low on his hips. He smiled at me, before taking his lip ring in between his teeth. I wanted to punch him so badly and rip out his lip ring!

" Hi." I mumbled and flashed him a fake smile.

" Aw." Zayn cooed as he walked over to Emily and I. " Look." He said, pointing at Aurora. " Her onesie is leopard print, that's adorable! The little princess! " 

" Zayn. " Emily sighed.

" I'm gonna go." I said. I could not stand being around Zayn, I knew for a fact that he purposely came into the living room just to agitate me.

" Okay." Emily replied. " Do you want me to give her a bath also?"

" If you could, it would help me out a lot so I won't have to give her one once we get back to my flat." I said as I walked towards the front door, with Emily behind me. " Thank you so much." I said as I opened the door.

I stepped out of the door and took a stance on the front step. Emily stood in the doorway and I bent down and pecked Aurora on her forehead. " I love you." I told the infant before walking away.

I quickly made it to my vehicle, I climbed in, I started it up and begun driving towards the mall. I needed to get a suit for Liam's wedding, something nice but not too flashy, just something to catch Jade's eye. I could not even begin to explain how much I missed Jade. How many nights I had gotten drunk just so I could get her beautiful face to leave my head, of how her fingertips felt against my flesh, the smell of her perfume, the taste of her lips, basically to forget her momentarily. 

I had more one night stands within the last year than I had ever had. I honestly cant even begin to remember half of the women's names that I had slept with. I hoped that they would not be able to remember mine either. I did not want to cause any woman anymore pain, I had caused enough pain towards women in my lifetime than half men that lived on this big green planet.
