Harry's P.O.V
To our relief, Ameera's fever did get better during the day so there wasn't any need to take her to the hospital on the next day.
A few hours after Louis had left, I got a call from John saying he and the board had approved three songs to be on the album out of the ten I had written. And thankfully, Forever was one of them.
Within the next two days, I found myself chasing Ameera while she laughed and giggled as she ran away from me towards Tahira who was preparing our lunch. And once she'd reach Tahira, she'd cling on to her leg and when I'd try to grab her, Tahira would swat my hands away with a laugh.
It was actually a relief when Ameera started being as active as she used to be before she got ill. Tahira finally caught up on the sleep she had missed during the nights.
One day, when I was in the studio as we were about to start recording, my phone beeped showing a tweet notification from Tahira. With a confused smile, I picked it up and opened it only to feel my heart melt as an awe escaped my lips.
@Tahira_Sultan: @Harry_Styles When mummy's back is turned...
Underneath it was a picture of Ameera looking wide eyed at the camera as if she was caught stealing. Her hand was on her head, as if adjusting Tahira's hijab she was wearing while her other hand was outstretched towards the camera. Half of her face was covered because of the hijab being bigger than Ameera's face.
I could see the fans freaking out and gushing about how cute Ameera was looking underneath. Suddenly, I heard awes going on behind me and when I looked back, I saw the boys looking at their phone screens and I chuckled.
"You saw it too?" I asked and they nodded with a chuckle.
"She's looking so adorable." They said together and I chuckled with a nod.
It was late when I got back home that night. The house was dark from inside and I assumed that Tahira had fallen asleep rather than waiting up. But when I walked in, I froze when my eyes caught something.
It was an yellow light flashing in the dining room from what I guessed and when I walked in further, a small smile came on my lips. A table was set for two, candles were lit and food was served on two plates.
A candle light dinner.
Suddenly, two small arms wrapped around me from behind and I felt a head rest against my back.
"I hope you like it. I thought we could have a night off from all the stress of the past week." I heard my wife say and I took her hands in mine, bringing her in front of me only to freeze again.
She was smiling shyly up at me, wearing a knee length, half sleeves white dress that hugged her chest and stomach but flowed down until it reached her knees.
"What do you think? Sophia lent it to me for the night." Tahira said and I smiled.
"You look beautiful." I told her and she smiled, intertwining our fingers.
"Would you like to have a candle light dinner with me, dear husband?" Tahira asked and I smiled, pulling her closer through our hands until we were chest to chest.
"There's nothing more I'd like to do, dear wife... Well, I could think of something else I'd rather do." I joked and she gaped at me before shaking her head with a chuckle.
"Save that thought for later. I've got something planned." She said and then led me towards the table she had prepared.
We talked about our day through the dinner. Small smiles were exchanged between us throughout the small silences in between our conversation. I fed Tahira from my plate even though she refused at first but took the food in her mouth with a smile and gave out a small chuckle after I took the spoon out of her mouth.
Once we were done with dinner, Tahira stood up and held her hand out to me which I took with a confused smile. She clicked on a remote that was resting on the table and suddenly soft music started playing.
Before Tahira could ask what I knew she was going to, I pulled her to me. One of my hands curved around her back and rested on the side of her small waist. I took her other hand in mine and slowly started swaying to the music.
She rested her head on my chest, her arm also going around my back as she swayed with me. I placed a kiss on the top of her head and let out a soft sigh.
"This is a really nice night." I whispered and she chuckled.
"I've still got a few tricks." She said and I chuckled.
"Oh yeah?" I asked and twirled her around before bringing her back to me. "And what might they be?" I asked on further and she looked up at me with a smile.
"It's a surprise." She said and I playfully raised an eyebrow.
"Ruin it." I said and she laughed, resting her head back on my chest.
"Well first, there's a nice, warm bubble bath ready and waiting for you." She said and I chuckled.
"Sounds amazing." I said and then she looked up at me with a shy yet mischevious look in her eyes which made me raise my eyebrows in question. "What else?" I asked and a blush came on her cheeks. She stretched up and I leaned down so that she could easily reach my ear.
"Ameera is sleeping in her room tonight." She whispered and my eyes widened slightly but I chuckled and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Let's get to that bubble bath first, shall we?" I said but stopped her before she moved away. "You know, I'm in desperate need of a head massage. Would you mind?" I asked and she chuckled, shaking her head.
So in the next ten minutes, I was in the tub, relaxing my tense muscles as I leaned my head back on the edge of the tub. Well, technically the edge as Tahira was sitting there, her legs on either side of me as she massaged my scalp, ridding me of the days headache and stress.
I titled my head back and looked up at her with a smile. She smiled back at me, leaned down and placed a kiss to my forehead.
"Enjoying yourself?" She asked and I grinned.
"Very much." I told her and cupped her face. Bringing it down again, I kissed her.
"Harry, not here." She whispered when I tried to deepen the kiss but she pulled away.
"Minx." I muttered and she gave me a look of disbelief.
"Minx?" She repeated and I chuckled, bringing her face down again for another kiss.
"My minx." I said and she blushed. She pulled away and got her feet out of the tub. She adjusted the end of the dress and walked out of the bathroom. I also followed her actions but not before taking a shower to wash the suds from the bubble bath.
When I walked out, I saw Sophia's dress hanging off a hanger on the handles of the closet and almost groaned imagining what my wife had planned next; but then my eyes landed on the bed, cutting off the oncoming groan immediately.
Tahira was lying on the bed, quilts tucked under her arms as she lay on her right with her eyes closed. She even had her nightdress on.
"You little tease." I muttered under my breath and pulled the quilt away before jumping on the bed and straddled her. She pretended to stay asleep until I started attacking her sides with my fingers and she let out a laugh.
"Harry! Stop!" She exclaimed and tried to escape but I was too heavy for her to move. "Harry!" She exclaimed again and put her hands on my chest to push me away. But the tables turned on her when I took her hands by the wrist and restrained them on either side of her head.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were sleeping. My bad." I said with a smirk and she blushed. She tried to free her hands from my grip but I just tightened my hold on them.
"Harry, let me go." She said and I chuckled. Leaning down, I brushed my lips over hers.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, wife. There's a promise that needs to be kept." I whispered and she looked at me with innocent confusion on her face.
"What promise, husband?" She asked innocently and I chuckled, nudging my nose against hers.
"Oh, I think you know what promise really well, dear wife of mine. Why would our daughter be in her room otherwise?" I asked and her mouth parted in an 'o'. Otherwise, she didn't change her expression and shrugged.
"Oh, that. I was just telling you that Ameera is sleeping in her room tonight. Why, dear husband of mine, what did you think I meant?" She asked innocently and I groaned, brushing my nose on her cheek.
"You're a minx alright." I said and she chuckled but stopped when I brought my lips over hers again "And I know just how to deal with you." I whispered and her eyes widened. With a smirk,
I crashed my lips on hers in a fierce kiss.
