Chapter 17: Studio

I spent most of the week working non stop on our new album. I was determined to waste zero time when it came to recording my parts. I spent most of the time at the studio and the rest with Perrie. I barely went home and hung around at the studio. It kept me occupied. After my recordings would finish and so would the boys, they would head out but I would stay back; helping out with the edits, the remixes etc.

Then I would go join Perrie. We would eat at random restaurants, drink coffee and then head to her house or mine. Ever since I got engaged to her, we had gone to no parties that we had been invited to. We kept our company very less and it had worked for us.

Harry urged me every day to bring Perrie along with me and join him at a party that he was going to. He was headed to LA in two days for an important event that I had been invited to but I refused. He would call me grandpa daily and I would laugh along.

Everything was going so well for me. I was happy. I was making the people around me happy. She was happy and that was above all materialistic joys that filled our lives.

She had been busy most of the week too. Little Mix was supposed to head out for a one month tour in the UK in two weeks and that thought was constantly haunting me. Spending a month apart from her when she was in New York was the hardest ever but I was trying to convince myself that it was her job and I would have to leave for tour very soon too.

That was the main problem.

That was the biggest worry.

Little Mix hadn't been on tour since a year and a half now. The last time that they did go was a bit longer than this tour but I knew it wouldn't compare to how hard this one would be for me. We, as a couple, were in a completely different position right now. Over the year we had become inseparable and the thought of not seeing her every single day was terrorizing me.

I wanted to take some time off and take Perrie with me, away from London for a couple of days. I wanted to so badly but the band had rehearsals and interviews almost everyday that we just couldn't take a couple of days off.

I tried to spend majority of my time with her but as I mentioned before, I would end up spending most of my time in a studio quite similar to the one Perrie spend in rehearsing.

"Zayn, where are you?" Perrie asked over the phone as I sat in the studio, watching Harry through a thick glass window, record.

"Studio, why?”

"It's one thirty, isn't it lunch break?"

"Frick! Completely forgot about that. I was helping Harry with his solos so I kind of lost track of time" I said "Where do you want to meet up?"

"I'm actually done with rehearsals today so I'll pick up something and come over to your studio" Perrie replied. I smiled that she would be able to spend more than only quarter of her day with me.
