Shattered {Sequel to Deranged}

Chapter 21

Harrys POV

We got our workout in from hauling those 23 some odd bags up 2 flights of stairs. I collapsed over frantically on the floor as soon as they were all inside. "Oh someone's tired!" Sky mocked me with a baby voice.

"Yes. Yes I am!"

"You of all people should be pumped and ready to carry 23 more!" She laughed at me. "Hey! I may work out but today I'm just not feeling it" I winked at her.

"Move aside rookie. Watch the pro!" She said and pulled her fingers back, attempting to pop them but not a sound came off. I got up and she laid, stomach down on the floor. She lifted herself up with her forearms.

She finished with a total of 13 man push ups, impressing me beyond belief. Her smirk was cocky and proud, and it urged me to kiss her, so that's what I did.

"That was really hot!" I whispered into her ear. "Thanks"

"I can smell the hard work" I laughed and she looked at me, mortified. She lifted her shirt to her nose to make sure I wasn't lying, which of course I was. "Well let's see it! Get down there and do some push ups Harry! You wanna be showed up by a girl?"

That made me laugh, genuinely laugh. I laid down, in the same spot she did, and did a straight 10 push ups. "PATHETIC!" She laughed, but I knew where I was going with this. "Well you didn't think I could do more than you without motivation did you?"

"What?" She looked at me, confused, a look that seemed to adorable to exist. "Lay down on your back"

Sky's POV

Harry came at me, face to face, but stopped right before my face, holding himself up with his built arms. He lowered himself down and pressed his lips to mine, then pulled away. He repeated this for awhile. When he stopped I felt like pulling him back down and making him do 15 more push ups, for his own health of course!

"Wow..." I said, unsure really of what to say at this point. "Shouldn't we put these groceries away?" He smirked. "Hang on still recovering from that"

He laughed at me and pulled me up with one arm. "You liked that?"

"More than life itself!" I over exaggerated and he crashed his lips to mine again. I wanted to grab his shirt and pull him back to me when he walked away but I didn't. "Put this crap away or that's the only kiss you'll get for awhile!"

I looked at him wide eyed, and he stayed serious, keeping his laughter barely concealed. "Fine" I huffed and pulled open the first bag I saw.

Harrys POV

While Sky put away the stuff she "needed", I flipped on the TV. I didn't feel a need to help her since I payed for it all and carried it in. My job is done.

My phone rang from the kitchen and Sky jumped up. "Who's Cathy?" She said under her breath, making it clear she was pissed. "Ohhh. She was a friend of my sisters. She introduced me to the area because she moved here after Gemma died"

"Gemma?"

"My sister"

"Oh.." She handed me the phone and I swiped the green bar before it disappeared. "Hello?"

"Harry? Hi it's Cathy Greenwood. Are you busy tonight?"

"No"

"Wonderful! Remember my little Cecilia? Her babysitter cancelled and I-"

"Oh I can't I'm sorry" I ended the call before the guilt over took me completely.

Kids scare me. To be honest.

It's scary to be trusted with the life of a little human being. One false move and their entire future could end. It's too overwhelming.

"What was that?"

"She wanted me to babysit her 3 year old daughter. Rude huh?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Sky yelled and swiped my phone from my hand. She locked herself into the bathroom. "SKY JONES DONT YOU DARE!"

"Hi. This is Sky Jon- Oh you know who I am? How flattering! Harry was mistaken. We'd love to babysit! 7? Yes perfect! See you then!"

The door unlocked and a smiley Sky popped out from behind! "You ass" I huffed at her, obviously teasing.

"Thanks sweet heart love you too!" She smirked and walked past me, dropping my phone back in my hands.

Sky's POV

At 7:08 the door opened and a tall blonde woman stood, holding a little girl. Her little bleach blonde hair was put into two braids and she held a yellow blanket that matched her little yellow dress. "Aren't you the cutest thing!" I smiled and she shyly hid behind her mother.

"She's a little shy but warms up to new people fast! This is Harry and Sky honey" she pulled the little girl out from behind her and handed her to me. The little girl cried for her mother as she told us she wouldn't be any later than 10.

Harry shut the door and walked silently to the couch. "It's ok Cecilia we're gonna have a good time!" I smiled and the girls crying ceased.

Harrys POV

I didn't want anything to do with her. Too much risk and responsibility for me. While Sky warmed the girls milk, she innocently tip toed over to my side. "Hi" she smiled with her tiny baby teeth.

"Umm Sky?!" I panicked slightly. "Coming! Her milk spilled sorry Harry! Watch her for a moment love?"

I huffed and picked up the little girl with a name far too sophisticated for her little body. "I'm Cece!"

"No you're Cecelia"

"Cece!" She insisted. Obviously her mother made the mistake of convincing her child she was named CeCe. "Okay. Cece. How old are you?"

"Can I color on your arms too?" She asked, avoiding my question. "No. That's not coloring"

"It's pretty"

"Thanks?"

"She's pretty" she pointed her tiny, stubby fingers to the kitchen towards Sky. "She is isn't she? Very beautiful!"

"Yes! And nice!"

"Yes she is. She's very nice and beautiful. I love her with everything I have"

"Love her?"

"Yes. Love her very much!"

The little girls face lit up and she pointed back to Sky. "Why is the pretty girl you love crying?"

Sky had tears streaming down her delicate face and a smile that said she heard every little bit of that conversation.

"I love you Harry Styles" she said to me. "SHE LOVES YOU TOO!" The little girl clapped and jumped up and down on the couch.

"I do. I love him very very much"
