Cassie's POV:
I was staring at him in awe. The his back muscles flexed through his white t-shirt when he bent over to whisper something in his. His laugh that was so beautiful that it could make angels from above begin to weep. My thoughts were quickly cut short by a deep voice with a brutish accent and a husky chuckle.
"I am so sorry what did you say I kind of missed it. Wow this is embarrassing." I said blushing fiercely and twiddling with my fingers to keep from looking in his memorizing eyes. Although that plan backfired when he spoke again.
"Oh that's quite alright, I was saying do you know where I could speak to a Madame Rose or a..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper and read "Cassandra Winters." He said smiling at me again.
"Oh that's me! I'm Cassandra but you can just call me Cassie erm..." I said trying to remember his name.
"Harry... Harry Styles." He said reaching his hand out to shake mine flashing me another smile only this time I noticed a dimple on his left cheek.
"Nice to meet you Harry." I said smiling back and shaking hands with him.
"You too Cassie. Anyways I'm here to bring my niece to her first ballet class with you." He said while ruffling her hair as to which she pouted and stuck her tongue out at him while he only giggled."
"Of course, it's Abigail right?" I said now directing my attention to the little girl in the black leotard and baby pink tutu.
"You can just call me Abby." She said giving me a toothy grin as to which I giggled.
"Well okay Abby, are you ready for your first ballet class?" She nodded her head vigorously as I stood up from my squatting position. "Okay then let's get going." She grabbed Harry's hand silently pleading for him to come back to the class with her.
"Sorry angel I can't. There aren't any adults-" I cut him off.
"It's okay since it is her first time we can make an exception." I said giving him a shy smile as to which he gave me a grateful one and mouthed a quick 'thank you'.
"Okay well let's head back there." He said
"Wait! Uncle H I need to have my hair like Ms. Cassie's." She said while pointing to my messy bun.
"Uuummm..." Harry said scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. "Would you mind?" He asked me.
"No of course not. Come sit on my lap Abby and I can do your hair." She ran over to the chair I was sitting in and I hoisted her onto my lap. I quickly threw her hair into a messy bun just like mine and when I was done she squealed.
"Yay!! Now I look just as pretty as you."
She jumped off my lap and I slightly blushed at her compliment.
"No way." I protested "You are way prettier." I grasped her small hand in mine and lead us to the studio Harry following behind. When we reached the door and I swung it open I could hear a faint gasp to my right.
"Wow this place is so cool." She said. "I can see my face on all of the walls." She gushed.
"Pretty cool huh?" I asked and she nodded her head vigorously. "I'm glad you think so. Now why don't you go introduce yourself to some of the other girls while I have a quick chat with your uncle." She silently nodded and made her way across the room to talk to some of the other girls.
I then turned my attention back to the strikingly handsome male standing behind me.
"Right, Madame Rose wanted me to make sure that I run all of the procedures by you." I said
"Yeah sure okay." He said giving a genuine smile.
"Okay so Abby will have class on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 to 6:00 every week up until Christmas time when the girls will put on a production of Swan Lake in a ballet recital." I said. "And we'll need you to sign a contract after class that basically she is committed to this all the way up until the recital."
"Right sure. She'll be pleased to hear about being in Swan Lake she's watched the Barbie Swan Lake movie at least 30 times." He said slightly chuckling. I couldn't help but smile at his accent.
"If you don't mind me asking where are you from? Your accent is very interesting." He gave me a shy smile.
"Of course not. I'm from Holmes Chapel, a small town in England."
"What made you move to New York?"
I mentally face palmed for bringing it up. "I'm sorry for asking it's none of my business. You don't have to answer that." I quickly apologized.
"No! It's alright I mean I'm assuming Madame Rose told you about her mom." I nodded silently.
"Right well after the accident my sisters friend was keeping her until I could get my job to transfer me over here." He said while rubbing the back of his neck. A nervous habit that I noticed.
I wanted to ask another question but I didn't have time to think before it came out of my mouth. "Why didn't you just move her to England with you?"
"I thought about it but her whole life was here and she had already lost her mom I couldn't let her lose her home too. In the end it was just simpler for me to move here."
"That's very genuine of you. I don't know a whole lot of guys that would drop everything to move halfway across the world to take care of their niece." I said while smiling at him.
He just smiled and gave a quick 'thanks'.
"Well I better go ahead and get class started you can just have a seat in the back of the room."
"Thanks again I know how nervous she is and it means a lot that you let me watch in on her first time."
"No problem we want Abby to feel comfortable here." I said and with that I walked to the center of the class.
"Okay girls everyone grab a space on the bars and make sure some time during class you introduce yourself to our new student Abby." I said with a smile. "Let's get started."
~~~~~
After class was over the only ones left we're myself, Harry, and Abby. He was just finishing signing all of the contracts.
"So Abby did you enjoy your first class?" I asked.
"Yes yes yes!!! I made a new friend in class!!"
"Well I'm glad." I said walking back over to the front desk where Harry signed the last page of the contract.
"And I'm finally done. I know that it's important to take the class seriously but signing my name 20 times is a little much." He said with a husky chuckle.
"Yeah it can be a little overwhelming but Madame Rose has good intentions."
"Uncle H we need to go. My little pony is on right now we really need to go." Abby said bouncing on the balls of her feet while tugging his hand.
"Okay okay angel just let me say goodbye to your teacher." He then turned towards me. "Well I guess that's my cue to go. Can I walk you to your car?"
I was slightly taken aback by his question but just presumed he was being a gentleman since it was beginning to get dark outside.
"Sure let me just grab my bag and lock up the studio." I turned around grabbed my bag and my phone and keys and lead them out the door. After turning out the lights and making sure the lock was secure we then proceeded to my car.
"Well this is me. Thank you for walking me."
"Of course I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I let you walk to your car by yourself in the dark." He said while placing Abby on his back. "We'll see you on Thursday?"
"Yep I'll see you then. Goodnight Abby." I said with a small wave.
"Night Ms. Cassie." She said with a toothy grin. I then directed my attention towards him.
"Goodnight Harry."
"Goodnight Cassie."
I got into my car and watched them walk away. Her bouncing up and down on his back while smiling and giggling. That's when I realized I was smiling. Not a fake or nervous smile that I often have off but a genuine smile. The first one I've had in months.
Throughout the past 6 months Harry Styles was the first person to make me genuinely smile.
