Shattered {Sequel to Deranged}

Chapter 23

Harrys POV

Sky was dressed in oversized sweatpants and my baggy t-shirt, extremely focused on the steaming pan in front of her. "Whatcha making?"

"Scrambled eggs"

"You know what we should do today? Find you a job" I smiled as I made my way to the bathroom to shower. "No thanks. I'm fine doing nothing. Kidding. Yeah I do need to get a job. Where's the nearest McDonalds?"

I laughed at her humor; the only humor that's ever made me genuinely laugh. "Funny. For real. While I'm at work you should go job hunting"

"No promises I won't get lost but I'll try" she said as she raked the eggs onto two plates.

My shower was postponed due to my dislike of cold food.

Sky's POV

One of my many favorite things about Harry, is he always notices and compliments the little things. My hair was quickly thrown up into an extremely messy bun. "Your hair looks really hot"

"Thanks. It took me about 2 minutes"

"You're hot too"

"Thanks Harold" I smirked and pressed my lips to his before he could complain about my nickname he hated.

Harry was right, I needed to find a job. After I finished washing the dishes, and Harry was done with his shower, I claimed the empty bathroom. Harry smiled as he sprayed something over himself. It was a strong, musty smell.

"Harry that's really strong!"

"Have some!" Before I could stop him, he pressed the spray nozzle and contaminated me with the manly scent. "You're so nice" I rolled my eyes. "Here. I'll wash it off" he smirked and shook his wet curls at me, giving my gray T-shirt a speckled pattern. "Thanks love" I kissed his forehead, reaching it by pushing myself onto my tip-toes. "Love you Sky!" He laughed as I shut the door to the steamy bathroom. The steam caused me to cough.

My hand reached over to turn on the air vent, but stopped in the process. Across the mirror Harry used the steam to draw on. It read "Sky Jones is the property of Harry Edward Styles always and forever"

This boy. He knows how to get me.

Harrys POV.

I'd love to wait and kiss Sky goodbye before I leave for work, but she honestly takes an eternity in that shower! I scribbled some words onto a scrap piece of paper and grabbed my keys.

The streets were busy, as the beautiful day had drawn out all the home bodies.

My phone vibrated in my cup holder halfway to the shop. When I glanced at the name I ignored my good instinct and pressed the green button. "Hi Harry. Sorry I missed you"

"I'm going to have to just walk right into the shower next time because no goodbye kiss is unacceptable!"

Her beautiful laughter echoed through my speaker. "And I'll just remember that and barricade the door when I'm in there. Guess what!! I'm getting ready to go look for a job!"

"I'm proud of you Sky! I'll call you at lunch" I said as my truck pulled into the back lot. "Okay. Harry?"

"Yes love?"

I pictured her smiling as her innocent voice spoke into the phone "I love you"

"I love you too Sky"

Sky's POV

The slight breeze outside pursued me to grab a light sweater, fearing I may regret it if I don't.

️Walking is probably going to be easier for me, not that I have too much of an option, but I think it'll be easier to find places. Harrys apartment, or ours now I guess, is conveniently located in downtown North Carolina. That's where most of the small boutiques and shops were stationed along the streets.

Being as my college education wasn't exactly all there, I figured my options were limited. A man politely opened the door for me, allowing me access into the antique styled boutique.

The aged hardwood floor creaked as my sneakers pressed against them. I smiled at the racks filled with color coordinated clothing. Everything was separated, from red to brown; any color you could imagine. A lady with short blonde hair, welcomed me. Her glasses were stuck midway on her nose, and I wanted to push them up.

"My names Sky Jones"

"You have a lovely accent"

"Thank you. If you don't mind. Are you needing any help around here?"

"Well that depends. Come with me we can talk in my office" she smiled as she led me down a hallway. Her heels created a steady cadence which echoed down the hall.

Harrys POV

Sky was expected home 20 minutes ago. She joked about getting lost but the harsh reality that she may actually be lost is sinking in. Her phone is either dead or turned off, as it always goes straight to voicemail.

Just as I was about to embark on a search, she tip toed through the door. "Bout time love"

"Sorry! Harry you'll never believe it! I got a job. It's only 10 minutes from here" she spilled. I pulled her excited body into my arms and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I'm so proud of you" I said, rubbing her back.

"Harry did you make anything to eat"

"See for yourself" I smirked and showed her to her elegantly prepared plate. Spaghetti and garlic bread filled the kitchen with an Italian aroma. "Looks amazing thank you Harry" she smiled up at me and hugged me again.

Her body may be little but she can put food away awfully fast and a lot at that. "You look beautiful by the way"

"Thank you. How was your day?"

"Long and boring. Probably because you weren't there"

Sky laughed and followed me to the bedroom. We sat down while she kicked off her worn sneakers. Her head rested on my lap and she looked up to me.

"Harry I realized something today"

"Did you now?"

"Sure did. I'm going to die. You're going to die. So you can just kiss me anytime"

That's when I realized the perfection in Sky and pressed my lips to hers because no matter what she says, I fall in love with her again everyday.
