Lost Love (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Rose's POV

The bright sun shines through my front windows, blinding me from sight. I squint my eyes trying to shield the light, but it failed. I pull the small throw blanket over my face. I look down to see a bare chest in full view. I smile, and cuddle right into his chest.

I couldn't believe he was back in my life. This wonderful man was back in my life for good. I never missed something so much in my life more than him. Yes, I loved Ezra. He was always there for me, and I couldn't thank him enough. But, he wasn't Harry, and I couldn't stay with someone who wasn't who I truly loved.

I finally decide to get up, and get ready. I walked to my tiny kitchen, and put the kettle on the stove. I grab two mugs out of my cupboard, and place a teabags in each cup. As I wait for the kettle to scream, I go and wake up Violet.

I gently stroke her hair, and kiss her forehead, "Vivi, it's time to wake up baby girl."

She suddenly fluttered her eyes open, and smiled. She was one of the only kids I knew who always woke up happy as can be. She sits up and pulls me into a lazy hug.

"Do I get to go to Aunt Erin's today?" She smiled.

"Of course! Now let's get some breakfast!" She quickly jumped out of bed, and ran to the kitchen. She suddenly stopped in her tracks like she had seen a ghost.

"Mommy, why is that man laying on our couch?" she whispered.

What was I suppose to tell her? Say that was her father sleeping on the couch? No, it was way too early for that.

"Uhh. That's Mommy's friend, we had a sleep over last night," I nervously said.

She just shrugged and ran two her seat. She was so adorable. She jigged in her seat waiting for some delicious breakfast, even though it was a bowl of cereal. The kettle finally whistled, and I poured the hot liquid into the two mugs. I grabbed her special bowl, and poured her favourite cereal. I get everything ready for her and she begins to chow down.

Once I knew she was OK, I grabbed the two mugs and walked over to Harry. I sat on the floor in front of the couch, and just stared for a bit. He was so beautiful! He looked so angelic while he slept. His curls seemed to still be in place, his mouth was slightly open with quiet snores escaping every once and a while, and he had a slight smile crept on his face. It was adorable.

I kissed his forehead, and brushed a few curls out of his face, "Haz, babe, wake up. I come bringing tea."

His opens his left eye, and smiles, "You are so adorable." He finally got up out of his sleepy state, and I handed him the steaming mug.

I moved off the floor to the empty spot on the couch, "How did you sleep?"

He smirked, "I slept perfect. I had a little heater to keep me warm." He gives me a small peck, and gets up off the couch.

"Mummy! He's alive!" Violet yelled through the kitchen.

He suddenly turned around, and saw his daughter. He smiled the brightest and biggest smile I've ever seen! His eyes grew and just sparkled. He walked over to the kitchen table, and grabbed a chair.

"Hi Violet. Umm...My name is Harry," he said with such excitement. Violet just looked at him, confused. When she's around people she doesn't know, she gets very scared, but she just smiled.

"Hi! Why are you naked?" She questioned, and started to giggle.

Harry just chuckled, "I'm not naked, silly! I just don't have a shirt on! But just for you, I'll put a shirt on." He walks over to the couch, and puts on his shirt. Even though he looked perfect without it. He then walks back over to the table and sits down.

"Is that better?" He asked Vivi, and she nodded. She smiled and danced in her seat as she ate her breakfast.

I walked over to the table, and leaned on Harry's side, "I'm going to go shower for work, can you watch Violet for me for a bit?" I looked into his bright green orbs.

He smiled, and kissed my forehead, "I would love too. How about when you're done eating, we'll go play in your room?" He looks to Vi, and she just raised her arms in the air. She screamed yes to the top of her lungs, and quickly spooned down her cereal. Harry gave me a small peck, and I went to the shower.

After I showered, I wrapped myself in my towel. I quietly tip-toed to Violet's room, and poked my head through the door. They were so cute together! I watched as Harry played dolls with her, even adding the high pitched voices for the girl dolls. He was a natural father, and it fit him so well.

"Harry, have you met my daddy?" Violet asked innocently.

And he just sat there dumbfounded, like he didn't know what to say. He just sat there looking down at the doll in his hands, like it was so fascinating.

"No. No I haven't" he said in a monotone voice. It was such a tone that stung. I left the door frame, and ran to my room. I slammed the door behind me, and broke down. I felt so bad for Harry, and I know that it hurt that his daughter didn't know a thing. I got up off the floor, and got dressed. I pulled out a grey plaid pencil skirt, and a turquoise peplum shirt. After I got dressed, I went into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I got my curling wand out, and plugged it in to heat up. As I wait for that to heat up, I did my make up. I did a simple light foundation, a winged black eye-liner, and a crimson colored lipstick. After I finished, I curled my hair in loose waves. I did one last look in the mirror to make sure everything was alright, and walked into Violets room.

"Hi mummy! Harry played dolls with me!" She got up and hugged my legs.

I ran my hands through her hair, and knelt down, "That's great baby girl. Ok, we need to get dressed to go to Auntie Erin's!" She smiled, and danced around the room.

"Umm. If you want I can keep her. I can take her to get ice cream, and take her shopping," Harry asked.

I was a little nervous. No one has really ever watched her besides Erin, Ezra, and I. But, he does need to spend time with his daughter, especially for keeping her out of his life.

"Ok, yeah, that would be great. Come in the kitchen, I'll show you the routine," I told him and he followed with little Violet behind him.

I showed him the medications she needs to take at lunch, and all the stuff she doesn't like. That she only like apple juice with her lunch. That she always watched Spongebob at 2 o'clock when it came on. I gave him her entire routine for the day, and he listened to every word I said.

"Please don't forget to give Violet her meds! Otherwise she will be a handful without them! And don't forget-"

He brought me close to him, and he just stared into my eyes, "Don't worry Rose, everything will be fine." He cupped my face, and brought my lips to his. It was pure euphoria, and I just wanted more. I hear the door click, but I blocked it out with Harry's kisses.

"Hey Rose, my trip got done early. Where's vi-," Ezra stopped in his tracks to see me and Harry in a full lip-lock. Harry let go of my face, and shyly waved. But, I don't think I've ever seen Ezra so mad in my life. His face started to turn this crimson-red, and I thought I could see steam coming from his ears!

"What is this bastard doing in my house?" He shouted, and it made me flinch. He dropped his briefcase on the ground loudly, and crossed his arms in frustration.

"Umm. I actually ran into him at Erin's yesterday, and that's when he found out about Violet. So we had a long talk, and he wants to see his daughter. He wants to be a father to her, and will do anything to keep her in his life. And to be honest, I want him in my life," My voice came out fast and a little mousy, but I need to say it. But Ezra just gave me a look of disgust.

"How many times did I hear you complain how you didn't want this man in either of your lives? How that he hurt you so much that you couldn't look at him again. What happened to us? I was gone three days on a business trip providing for this family, cause god knows that I am the only real provider. I am trying to help you, but do you not see that? I love you, and I've loved that girl since the day she was born. And I don't want some guy coming in and taking that." He explained.

I just stood there not saying a word, and Harry stood right by me.

"Mummy, why is dad mad?" I heard Violet quietly whisper from behind her door. I quickly whipped my head to see tears running down her face. I walk quickly to her, and give her the biggest hug possible.

"It's alright baby girl, everything will be fine. Daddy is just a little upset. Lets go get you dressed before I'm late for work." I take her in my arms, and walk to her room and shut the door.

Harry's POV

Rose took Violet in her arms, and went into her room closing the door with a loud thud.

"Why do you have to ruin everything? We were doing fine without you, and then you decide now to show up? Out of the two years? I just don't get it," Ezra shook his head in disbelief. "Do you know how hard it was to see the person you loved in the arms of another man? Especially a man who treated this lovely girl like shit, and decided to just throw away everything they had. Harry, I don't want you to see Rose. Get visitation rights to see Violet, I don't care. But, you are not taking the one girl I've ever loved away from me."

I chuckled, "Do you not see how much I love this girl? I made a mistake yes, but there is always time to learn from my mistakes. And I took that time. I realized how much I messed up, and that I needed to fight for the person I loved. I searched forever trying to find where she was, to see that she was right under my nose. I hired an investigator to find her I missed her that much. You might think that she loves you, but in reality she doesn't. She only kept you around to be that signature on the birth certificate. So I'm not going to have you stand in my way of loving Rose, because I will always love her."

I walked away from him, and straight into Violets room. I opened the door to see Rose crying while she played with Violet. It hurt for me to see her cry, and to know that I was one of the two people creating those tears.

She looks up with her eyes red and puffy, and smiled, "Harry, I'm really sorry for what happened. I didn't know he was going to be coming home early. I planned to tell him everything the day he came home. Because, I don't love him anymore. I honestly never did, and it was only a show. I feel so bad, but he could never fill that void in my heart that was meant for you." A small tear streamed down her face. I got to her spot on the floor, and bring her into a gentle embrace.

"I don't care what he says, he is not taking you away now that I have you. I will fight everyday to see you," I cupped her face, and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips. These were kisses that I couldn't live without. The kiss was full of many emotions that it made me dizzy. I pulled away giving her a sweet smile.

"I can leave, so you can have some time to talk to Ezra. I don't want to be in the way of things," I said trying to reassure her of everything.

"That might be good, I should probably take Violet to Erin's. But, I'll call you later, and maybe we can meet up somewhere," She said with a smile on her face, and I knew everything was going to be alright.

I wasn't going to have this guy take her away from me again. I love her too much to lose her again. With that I kissed her forehead, said goodbye to Violet, and darted out of the apartment. Hopefully avoiding Ezra.
