Number Twenty Two

Start from the beginning
                                        

With one hand around his neck and the other reaching up to his bicep, my gaze flicked towards his plump lips. I felt his hands give my thighs a squeeze almost as if encouraging me. I peered up to his eyes once again, the green turning a shade darker and without a second thought I placed my lips onto his. His hands that were at my thighs went up to my back, pressing onto it to pull me closer to him, my chest brushed against his as I then moved my lips against his soft ones.

This felt so right. Why does it feel so right? It shouldn't be but it is. Harry's lips took no second later to respond to my kiss, I parted my lips allowing his peppermint laced tongue to massage mine. Fighting for a battle I know I'm going to lose, I succumbed the overdose known as Harry Styles. A moan escaped my lips and onto his as I felt his hands move from around my back to my ribcage, squeezing my sides. "Fuck, you're so irresistible" I giggled against his mouth as he muttered those words, flashbacks of the night he was drunk flooded my mind.

We eventually broke apart, our heavy breathing surrounded us and I realised something "Oh god!" I gasped "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly "What's the time?" I tapped my jean pockets in search of my phone, I forgot I had left it in the kitchen "I'm not sure" I stood to my feet, Harry followed after letting out a small whine. Noah had still been playing with his toys, too engrossed to even realise what was going on behind his back. "I need to get home" I walked out the room and in the direction of the kitchen "Do you have to go?" He asked from behind me and I nodded.

I grabbed my phone, finding multiple messages as well as missed calls from both Tash and Cole. Cole? When I looked up, I found Harry leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen entrance, his arms crossed against his chest causing his biceps to flex just like that day in the hospital. I decided to listen to the voicemails from Tash, first, then gawk at Harry. "Woman! You left me alone to handle Kevin" One down, four to go "Anna!" She dragged my name out in a sing-song voice.

"Anna-Rose Josephine Montgomery, where the fuck are you? It's almost half six. You better not be shagging that British hottie of a boss that you have or I swe-" with heated cheeks I fumbled with my phone, cutting her voice off. I hadn't dared to look up at the British hottie and when I did, he held a bemused look on his face, I groaned as I leaned my elbows on the island, rubbing my hands along my face "British hottie, eh?" He smirked and I narrowed my eyes at him.

That reminds me that I should turn down the volume for my calls. Speaking of Tash, "You left me my medication that day, didn't you?" My question made Harry avert his gaze from my face, he coughed "What do you mean?" He seemed taken aback with my words "You are Tash's backup plan" I pointed a finger at him. He sighed and nodded "Yeah, I called her when I was taking you to the hospital as I wasn't sure about your allergies and she told me. She was on her way but I told her to stay for the rest of her lectures" Now it was my turn to be taken aback "You called her?" He nodded again, taking a step towards the kitchen island "How'd you get her number?" I passed him an incredulous look.

"She called me once, actually my office phone, she mentioned she couldn't contact you and I told her you were gone for lunch, she then went on a frantic rant about you taking your medication on time so I asked her what she meant. Ever since, I've kept her number in case of any emergencies, well she ordered me to" Harry explained as if discussing the weather. I stood flabbergasted "Oh my god" he chuckled "But it turned out to be beneficial" he continued.

Did he just say he followed an order from my little sister? The thought made me let out a hearty laugh "What?" He looked at me weirdly "You just said she ordered you to keep her number" I stated and he slowly nodded followed by a shrug "Harry Styles takes an order from a 19 year old" I held my hands out as if it's breaking news "Sod off, Anna" he scoffed, I continued to laugh "I did that so I could politely hang up the phone in order for her to stop her rant instead of just slamming the phone down, now that's not right nor is it chivalrous" What a gentleman.

"Where's Noah?" I frantically made my way to the playroom, realising we left him unattended "Relax, he's in his crib" Harry pulled onto my arm, bringing me back to him and I released a breath of relief. "I need to go home" I mumbled looking up into his eyes, "Don't" was his simple reply. I shook my head, turned my attention to my phone which started to vibrate - I had set it on vibrate as Noah was asleep - "Hey" I softly answered my sister's call, facing my back towards Harry. "I'm on my way so calm your ass" I said before she could say anything "Good" was her reply before she hung up.

Okay, my loves, I'm gonna have to stop here as it's quite late and I'm practically yawning as I type these words. I hope you enjoyed it.

I'm so proud of Louis but I'm also waiting for his album. Sigh. I need a life. Oh wait, the boys are my life. Ergo, I need the boys.

Vote goal : 1K, tbh if I get this before Chapter 25, then I'd do a triple update especially for you guys all at once. Who wants that???
