《help wanted - Harry Styles au》Chapter 16
Advertisement
The days seem to go by faster and faster here at the Style's home. Every day that passed was another day that I fall more and more in love with this family. Maybe it's because of how comfortable I've gotten with Harry and the kids. It started feeling less and less like a job and more and more like a home. That was a little scary to think about.
Harry and I have this weird thing going on between us. There was no label or anything, I could only hope that he genuinely has feelings for me and this isn't just something fun in passing. I've grown attached, and that terrifies me.
Harry's been super affectionate ever since the kiss last week, always wanting to be touching me in any way possible at every second he can. It was an odd feeling, to feel affection like this. The last time I was ever with someone was Scott and Lord knows, affectionate was not a word that described him.
Affectionate and caring and loving, those were all words that described Harry. If we were eating, Harry would have his leg extended out in front of him so that his ankle or calf was touching mine. If we were driving in the car, his hand rested on my thigh. If we were watching tv, he'd prop my leg over his knee. In any way possible he wanted to be connected.
"Alright loves, it should be a short day at work today. I'll be home around 4." Harry kissed the kids heads and then my cheek, making me blush. Just last month he had almost kissed me before leaving for work and we were both stunned, now it felt right.
"Drive safe, please." I called out to him as he headed to the garage.
"Always, love!" He shouts back, closing the door. My heart flutters at the word love. The pet names have been more abundant lately. Sometimes I feel like he's trying all of them out to see what fits best.
"Anastasia?" Penelope spoke as she finished her breakfast. I stood behind her, combing her hair so that I could braid it.
"Yes, darling." I said, my fingers now tangled deep in her roots.
"Are you and daddy in love?" She asked nonchalantly. My eyes widened slightly at her words but I laughed it off.
"Why would you think that?" I chuckled. Kids will be kids, they don't really understand the concept of being in love.
"You and daddy are happy when you're together." She shrugged. If there's one thing to know about kids, they don't have any type of filter. "He smiles at you when you aren't looking." She continued to babble. This girl might be 4 years old, but she knows too much for her own good.
Her words left butterflies in my stomach though. Does Harry really look at me when I'm not looking at him? Does he smile at me like she says?
"I'm not sure what you're talking about Pen, finish your food, we gotta learn some words today." I finished braiding her hair, trying to dismiss her thoughts.

"I think he loves you." She continued to say. A part of me wanted to laugh at her persistence.
"Pen, do you even know what love is." I sat down next to her and smiled. She turned in her seat so she was facing me and she gave me a large grin back.
"Yes. Daddy says he loves me all the time. Daddy used to tell Mommy he loves her too. So love is big." She finished. I nodded my head.
"You're right, darling. Love is big. But I'm not so sure that your Daddy loves me like that." I finished clearing off the table, putting all the dishes in the sink and cleaning up Danny as well.
"What do we want to do today?" I sighed as we all gathered on the living room floor, Danny was already running around grabbing and throwing every toy he could find. He was a crazy boy for sure and I know it'll only get wilder as he gets older.
Throughout the rest of the day my mind was filled with thoughts about Harry and our relationship, or whatever you would call this thing. We weren't in a relationship, heck I have no idea what you would even call this.
Every logical part of my brain was telling me that there's no way that we would ever work out. Harry and I can't be in a relationship. Hell, I'm his nanny. He's my employer, he said it himself. There was so many things wrong with this situation, so many things to consider. He's 9 years older than me for goodness sake, what would people think when they find out he's dating his nanny.
These all things that need to be talked about. I haven't even met any of his friends, the idea alone had me shaking. Penelope talks about her uncles so highly, which I found out they're not actually related but they're Harry's best friends. They've known Harry for years. Which means they also knew Danielle, and the thought of not being able to live up to her made me miserable. I'm sure that his friends would have something to about the whole situation. He's romantically involved with his nanny that happens to be much younger than him.
But everything feels so right. This thing with Harry is new, it's exciting, it's terrifying. We agreed to take things slow, but I know that this is something that we actually have to sit down and talk about, I don't even know if we're on the same page regarding our feelings towards each other.
One thing is for sure, I didn't want to be the one to initiate the conversation. Confrontation is not one of my strong suits, obviously.
The rest of the day went by rather quickly, the kids and I have fallen into a good rhythm and routine with each other, everything felt so natural. It was like a dance, we knew what would happen next, we didn't clash or bump into each other.
It was nearing 4, and Penelope was very antsy to see her dad, Harry wasn't lying when he said he wanted to focus on the kids. It was obvious that he was constantly putting in effort to spend time with the kids, even when work was hectic and stressful.

One night last week, Harry stayed at work till after dinner. He had said there was some sort of deadline and then board meeting at a dinner. Even when he got home after a whole days full of work he gave every last bit of his attention to the kids till it was time to put them to bed. I could see how tired he was from the way his eyes looked, they were sunken and drained. But he smiled, vibrantly.
Danny was cuddling with me on the couch, we all were watching a few episodes of Mickey Mouse, mostly Pen.
My phone rang in my pocket and I looked at it to see my Grandma was calling, I answered the phone quickly, worried something was wrong since she wasn't one to call out of the blue.
"Hey Mommsy, are you okay?" I asked in a panic but was eased when I hear her chuckle on the other end.
"Everything is fine, Bunny." She assured me. "I was hoping to see you soon, It's been almost a year.. I can go visit you there if that would make things easier." She offered.
"I actually don't live in the apartment with Tina anymore, maybe it would be better for me to go to you.. I'll have to see when I'm available." I needed to make sure it was okay with Harry if I dipped for a weekend. He did say weekends were free but I felt like I needed to give him a heads up anyways.
Speaking of the devil, Harry walked into the house and yelled "I'm home." Like he always does. I instantly cringed, knowing Mommsy definitely heard and she is definitely going to say something about it.
"Oh? Who is that??" Her voice raised in excitement, I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"There's a lot to catch you up on." I giggled. "Are you sure everything is okay?" I asked again on the phone, Harry came into the living room and greeted the kids before sitting next to me. He raised an eyebrow at me and pointed to my phone. I just shook my head softly and waited for mommsy to answer.
"I promise, everything is okay. I just miss my sweet bunny. And now I'm dying to know about this man that you share a home with." She continued to press.
"Oh my goodness." I let out a breathe. "I gotta go, Mommsy. I'll let you know when I can come see you. I love you, bye." She replied with a quick I love you before hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" Harry instantly questioned as soon as the phone was away from my face.
"Just my grandma, she wants to see me soon." I just shrugged, Danny crawled onto my lap and laid his head on my chest. "How was work?" I diverted the topic to Harry.
He let his head fall back onto the couch and sighed. "It was awful. But It's alright, because I'm home now with the best kids in the world!!" He cheered while he tickled Penelope.
"You guys want a snack?" Harry stood from his spot and checked his watch. Of course the kids wanted a snack so we all made our way to the kitchen. I put Danny in his chair and helped Harry rummage through the fridge.
We decided on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I started to spread the peanut butter on the bread while Harry spread the jelly.
"I missed you today." Harry said softly to me, I looked up at him and a blush instantly crept onto my face, a small smile to join it.
"Really?" I asked pathetically like some love sick teenager.
"Of course.. I thought about you all day." As if my face couldn't get any redder.
"Yeah.. me too." I said softly. We put the sandwiches together and gave it to the kids along with their drinks.
"Anastasia." Harry said beside me as we sat down at the table. Penelope was munching away on her bread while she watched Cocomelon on the iPad. "I would love to take you out on a date."
My eyes widened at his words, he was being very straight forward and I was not ready to have this conversation right now.
"What?" I looked at him dumbfounded, he chuckled lightly at my reaction.
"A date. Dinner? A movie? A Picnic? Anything really... I would just love to spend time with you, alone.." He explained, his eyes discreetly gazing at the two kids and then back at me.
"What about the kids, we can't just leave them." I laughed nervously.
"Of course not, we'll get a sitter." He shrugged.
"Harry, I am the sitter." I pointed out.
"Yeah well.." Harry laughed at my remark. "We'll find a sitter for the sitter. Look Anastasia, I really want to explore... this with you." He spoke, his fingers gestured to the space between us. "It's new and unpredictable, but I want to figure this out. I want to see where this leads." He explained. "I haven't felt this way about someone since Danielle.." He said softly and my heart swelled.
"Okay." I smiled at him, he raised an eyebrow at me.
"Okay?" He asked. I nodded at him again.
"Yes, I'll go on a date with you.. Maybe we can ask Tina to watch the kids for a night, I'm sure she can manage." I shrug at him.
"Perfect.. How does Tomorrow night sound?" He grinned. I was a little shook with how soon he wanted this date to happen but I agreed and said I'd call Tina and ask if she's available tomorrow.
My heart was racing and I was getting anxious. A date. With Harry. Alone.
This is like straight out of a movie. A young girl falls for her incredibly attractive boss.
How cliche.
