Destined to you (ziam royal au)

CHAPTER 4

Surprise, surprise. An update is here. College is going to start next week and I won't be able to update often. I know how much it sucks to wait for an update, so I thought I could do it while I can.

Things are going to get even more complicated from this chapter, peeps.

Hope you all like it and I'm not dumping updates on you.
-----

I keep messing up.

I keep doing it like an idiot.

I know I will keep falling hard if I spend more time with Zayn, but that didn't stop me. We spent a whole day alone with each other upon his pouts and complains. He took me to the bazaar and showed me every single store in there. And my heart just skips a beat whenever his hand brushes against mine when we walk together. And I can't help but think he likes me too. I couldn't come with another explanation. Harry and Louis are in a relationship, Niall is taken too.

But I push away that thought every time it surfaces. So what if he likes me back? This is not supposed to happen, it's not right. I can't betray my father.

And now I'm sitting with boys and him in my chamber. The other three are playing with Snow while Zayn sat beside me, chatting with them. I don't care to join the conversation, I'm too messed up in my head for that.

And they respect that. They don't pester me to say something, they just let me be.

When they finally decide to call it a night, it's nearly midnight. And of course Zayn remains after the boys leave.

"You're not gonna sleep?"

"What's wrong?" he asks instead and I sigh.

"I'm fine" I mutter "Just tired"

"Come on, Liam"

"I'm fine" I say a little sharply and he goes silent. "I'm sorry. I'm just dealing with something, okay? And it's tiring me out."

"Whatever it is, it's going to be okay" he says assuringly "Don't over think it."

"Here" he says, handing me a bowl and I frown at it "Whenever I feel down, I eat samosa. It helps me. I thought it will help you too"

Seriously? How can I stop myself from falling when he is like this? It's so hard. And looking into his genuinely concerned eyes is making me feel bad for snapping at him.

And I couldn't help but smile down at the samosas in the bowl.

"Thank god" he says dramatically "It takes so much effort to make you smile!"

I roll my eyes before standing up and walking over to Snow. I pick him up and join Zayn back.

"You think he will eat this?" Zayn asks me flatly but I nod. "He doesn't, Liam."

"Oh" I shrug "it's okay, then. When did you even bring it?"

"Oh, I brought it with me" he explains "And you were too busy sulking to yourself to notice"

"Shut up" I mutter and he chuckles, handing me a samosa. I take a bite and nearly moan at the taste.

"It's so good"

"I know, right?" he agrees, taking a bite from his. I flick my eyes away from his lips and concentrate on eating mine. I frown when I hear a faint giggle. I look up and through the gap between the open door, I find Louis and Harry standing in the hallway. Louis is obviously teasing Harry, his arms around latter's waist and Harry's are around Louis' neck, fingers in his hair. Wow.

I smile when I see Harry act non chalant, pulling back when Louis tries to kiss him. Louis huffs in frustration before cupping Harry's head and pulling him down to kiss him. I smile shyly.
