5: E verything He Wants But Can't Yet Have

Zayn finds himself lonely and bored at home a few days later. So he decides that instead of having lunch at home, he'll go see Harry at work and have lunch with him. And of course he told Harry he was coming. So he drives up to his dentist office and then comes inside and waits for him.

Only a half our later, Harry emerges from his dentist room.

"How about a sticker for being such a good boy in the dentist chair?" Harry says to a little boy who looks to be around seven years old.

"Can I have a lollipop too?"

"Of course you can. Let me go back inside and get it. I'll be right back, okay?"

"Okay."

When Harry stands back up, he notices Zayn standing just at the end of the hallway with his jacket draped over his folded arms. When Zayn waves at him, he holds up his pointer finger before he disappears into the room. Moments later, he's back and he's giving the boy the lollipop he promised him.

"Alright have a good day, Andy. I'll see you at your next appointment."

The child passes by with his father and Harry comes to meet Zayn with a smirk on his face.

"Hey, baby."

Zayn melts. Chanel already calls him baby. Sure. But everytime Harry does it, he gets hot and his hands feel sweaty.

"That little boy was adorable."

"Yeah... He was. He had a tooth that was already extremely loose but he didn't want to take it out or let anyone in his family take it out. So I had to take it out. If I hadn't, it might hinder the other tooth's growth and cause it to grow crooked."

"Yikes. Wouldn't want that."

"Nope. Definitely not. But he's good to go now."

"Good. And what about you? Are you ready for lunch?"

"I certainly am. Let me just take off my coat and get my keys first. We'll take my car."

"Okay."

About twenty minutes later, Zayn and Harry sit in a parking lot of a strip mall, eating take-out. Unfortunately, public places are off limits for them. Even if Harry says he doesn't care, Zayn doesn't know who might see them and he's afraid for it to be someone who knows him or Chanel if it isn't Chanel herself.

"I'm not sure I've really ever said it before but I love seeing you interact with kids." Zayn says as he munches on his corn salad.

"You love it?"

"Yes. What you do was the job you were born to have. I'm sure of it."

Harry grins. "I kinda think so too if I'm being honest. I love kids so much. Someday I hope to raise my own."

Zayn looks suprised. During all the time they've been spending together, Harry has never once talked about wanting children until now.

"You do? I didn't know that."

"Neither did I. Up until recently. The more I'm around kids, the more I realize I love them. They're just so darn sweet, you know. But truthfully, it never really is a thought until you find someone you'd really like to help you raise them."

Zayn knows what Harry is implying and it's super sweet. "Yeah... I know what you mean."

Harry leans his head against the headrest and looks over at Zayn. Then he puts his hand on his chin.

"I'm so happy you work from home. Or otherwise I'd probably never get to see you during the week."

"Yeah?"
