Chapter 4

Harry Styles - Adore You

•••

Orianna's POV

"Where did you say we're going again?" I ask Kilani as I lean on her bedroom door frame.

Today's Saturday, our day off and she decided that we'd go out to 'cheer' me up.

"We were gonna go to the park; but!.." she enthusiastically says, looking up from her laptop. "I just found out that there's a funfair happening at... I forgot where, but I'll ask Google again. Why were you asking?" The way she soberly asks the last question has me looking at her she grew an extra head.

"I was just asking, to see if what I have for Zoe will be suitable for our place of outing," I say, leaving her to do whatever she's doing on her laptop.

I go back to the kitchen where Zoe and Brandon are having their breakfast.

"We're going to a funfair today-" I'm cut off by Brandon's loud "Really?!"

"Yes, really, Brandon. So you should finish eating and wash up." I say and see him quickly nod.

"Are you done, Zoe?" She looks up at me from her strawberry-flavored porridge, lips, and cheeks all messed up.

Why did I leave her to feed herself?

I take the spoon away from her and use a paper towel to wipe the spoon and move her from her spot on the counter and wipe the mess that she made.

I had her sit on the counter, directly in front of Brandon because there's no high chair or any baby chair in Lani's house.

I feed her three more spoons before she moves her face away from the spoon.

"You full?"

She replies with a simple nod. I clean her up and place her down so she can rest while I do the dishes.

I quickly do all the dishes and shower before bathing Zoe and dressing her in her denim shorts and white t-shirt, matching it with some tiny white trainers of hers.

"Go to Brandon while I get ready then I'll call you so we can do our edges, okay?" Zoe's eyes widen before she smiles and runs out of the room screaming Brandon's name.

I make sure my body isn't ashy before putting on my acid-wash denim shirt that stops a little over mid-thigh and a black top that's crisscrossed at the back.

"Lani!" I call out for her.

I leave my clothes to go in search of her when she doesn't come after three minutes.

"Lani."

"Yes." I hear her voice come from her open en-suite door.

I find her straightening her hair.

"I need help with tying this top," I say and turn for her to tie it.

"Damn, that mother's child has no idea what he just lost." She says after tying the top.

"You're crazy," I mumble while leaving her bathroom.

"And that skirt makes your butt look nice." She yells in a teasing tone behind me.

"Zoe!" I call for her.

"Yes!" I hear her loud response and the next thing I hear are tiny feet coming from the living room.

"Yes?" She says when she's in front of me.

"Let's go do our edges." She smiles and lets out a squeal and a giggle.
