Shattered {Sequel to Deranged}

Chapter 24

Sky's POV

The bed was missing something. The most important thing to me in fact.

Harry.

It was 7 in the morning so he hasn't left for work yet. I flinched as my bare feet hit the cold tile floor in the bathroom. I pulled my hair on top of my head and into a messy bun, messy being the key word. My oversized sweatpants hung low around my waist and my black tank top failed to keep me warm.

"Harry?" I yawned and stretched my arms over my head. His head popped up from under a cabinet in the kitchen. "Yes love?"

"It's so early. Why are you up!"

"I was gonna make you breakfast for your first day at work" he smiled a cheesy smile. I laughed and shuffled over to him. My arms wrapped around his neck and we stared into each other's eyes. "Harry I don't start till next week"

"Oh. Well I'll still make you breakfast"

"Aren't you sweet" I pecked his lips and slipped away from his grip before he could steal anymore than a small kiss. Harry pulled out a pan and heated the stove.

I turned the tv on to act interested , and instead, secretly watched Harry prepare the food. He pulled the carton of eggs from the fridge. With one big hand he cracked an egg. It sizzled as he swept loose hairs away from his forehead.

Harry's POV

Ella watched me intently from across the room. She was unaware that her staring was blankly obvious. I just let her continue to watch me though and think I was unaware of it.

"Sky could you grab that?" I asked as my phone rang on the counter. She jumped and smiled as she hit accept. "Hi! It's Sky!" She said into the receiver. She wondered off with my phone, making conversation with the person that called me.

That's Sky Jones for ya.

"Harry!!!" She squealed and ran to my side, "guess who's coming over!?"

"Santa!"

Her expression was priceless and obviously not enjoying my simple joke. "Ok I give up. Who?"

"CECELIA!" She yelled too loud and overly excited.

I smiled at her as she continued her burst of happiness. "What time?"

"In an hour. I know you'll be gone but she asked if she could stay the night because she has to work late tonight"

"Can't wait" I smiled and returned focus to my food.

I scrapped the eggs onto two plates and placed a buttered piece of toast on the corners. Sky hugged me and immediately devoured the food.

Sky's POV

Before our company could arrive I jumped into the shower. "Need help?" Harry smirked through the door. "No. I think I'm capable of showering, or at least I have been for 20 years now"

He laughed and I started the steaming water.

The talking in the living room meant I had failed to shower before she got here. Harry said goodbye and the door closed. I quickly snuck into our bedroom to change, thankfully unnoticed. I threw on some leggings and a T-shirt that was laying on the bed post. It wasn't a familiar shirt but if we didn't own it then it wouldn't be in our bedroom.

I closed the door behind me, taking an extra precaution that Cecelia didn't get into anything she shouldn't. Her bleach blonde hair was pulled up high into a messy bun.

She was kneeling on the couch while Harry was sitting in front of the couch cross legged. Her little hands were fed through Harry's curls as she struggled to hold it all in one hand. "Do you have a pony?" Cecelia looked at me. I assumed she meant the hair tie and not an actual animal. I pulled the pink one from my wrist and handed it to the little girl. She pulled it around Harrys ball of curls and clapped her hands.

Until this second I hadn't realized Harry's hair was that long...Long enough to pull into a bun. I laughed at the sight of Harry's mess of curls pulled into one bun. "You did a beautiful job Cecelia" I laughed hysterically. Harry looked at me, wondering what made him look so incredibly funny.

He stood up and jogged to the bathroom. His laughter echoed through the entire apartment. Cecelia and I joined him. Something about that little bun made you laugh endlessly.

Harry smiled at my phone as I snapped a picture of him and his cheesy smile. "I think it's hot" I whispered into his ear as he walked past me, and he laughed even harder. "Look you guys match" I pointed out. They both looked at each other and smiled.

"Harry and CeCe match!" The little girl clapped her hands, referring to herself in 1st person. She took my phone unexpectedly from my hands and swiped up the camera icon. For her young age, she's pretty good with technology. "Picture?" She asked and handed back my phone. Cecelia ran back to Harrys side and threw her arms up towards him. Harry scooped her up and she latched onto his side. Her smile was ear to ear and so big she had to squint her eyes, and Harry? He did the exact same thing.

I've never seen anything any cuter in my life.
