Moments

Chapter 14

Sierra's POV:

After slipping out of bed early in the morning and taking a quick shower, I had managed to get ready for work as quietly as possible. I was proud of myself for not waking Harry up, hoping to let him sleep for a couple more hours.  He wasn't due in the studio until after 8, but I had to be to work much earlier.

After getting dressed and slipping my black heels on, I pulled on a white sweater. I sat on the edge of the bed, slipping my earrings into my ears.  I turned to slide my hand over Harry's hip.  He slept peacefully, the sheet pulled up to his shoulder. 

I stood back to my feet and bent down to peck a kiss onto his lips.

Harry let out a moan and stirred, his eyes fluttering open to look at me.  "Hey.." he said sleepily.

"Hi handsome," a soft smile formed on my lips. "I love you,"

"I love you too," he took my hand and pulled me back down to sit on the bed.  "You look amazing,"

"Thank you," I smiled, pushing my hair behind my ear.  "I've gotta go, babe," I kissed him once more.  "I can't be late,"

"Call in sick."

"I can't do that," I said with a giggle, standing to my feet.  "Niether can you,"

"Ughh," he groaned. "I know,"

I grabbed my bag from the dresser and slipped it over my shoulder, then moved to peck a kiss on his lips once more.  "Have a good day, baby,"

 "Thanks so much for covering for me," I made her way to my office, meeting Emily along the way.

"Not a problem," the brunette replied, handing me a cup of coffee.

I laid my purse down on the desk and looked over the list of messages that Emily had taken the day before. Even though I was only gone for a day, I had a lot of catching up to do.

"Is Mr. Stanford in today?" I asked, taking my seat behind my desk.   The desk was adorned in familiar trinkets, along with various pictures of Harry and I together. My favorite was one that Gemma had snapped at Harry's mother's house, sitting under the massive oak tree in her back yard.  

"He won't be in until late afternoon," Emily replied moving exit the room.  "He had a couple appointments at the ad agency.  He said to call him if you needed anything,"

I nodded and felt a chill make it's way down my spine and she rubbed her hands over my arms.  "Why is it so cold in here this morning?"

"I'll turn up the thermostat," Emily disappeared.

I flipped my computer on and took a sip of my coffee, then turned to dig my phone out of my purse.  I smiled, finding that I already had a text message awaiting me.
