Stockholm Syndrome (zarry)

Chapter 23 (Mature+)

"Babe.. Are you awake..?"

"Yes, I'm awake.."

Zayn chuckled when Harry tried to answer him in his sluggish voice. He already knew him whenever they made love, he immediately fell asleep after they were done. Harry is laying in his arms under the sheets. Both of their arms wrapping each other. While his finger is playing with his curlylocks. He pulled him closer.

"Stay awake for me babe, because there's something I want to tell you.."

Harry slowly moved his head and looked up at him. He already knew that they're going to talk about it.

"What is it?" Voice tense.

Zayn took a deep breath before he started. "I will be gone for a while and I might not be able to call you from time to time. But I will definitely come back for you and the baby.. I want to hide you not just from her but from her entire family.." He paused. And looked at him straight in the eye. " I want you to promise me, babe.. That you're going to wait for me.. No matter how long, you will wait for me.." Eyes looking at him with sincerity and seriousness. Voice begging to trust him.

"Yes, I will wait for you, Zayn. No matter what happens, I will be here waiting for you.."

Zayn gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "When I told you that she's not my girlfriend, that was actually true.. And that baby she's carrying is not mine.. I know you won't believe me, but I just want you to trust me. I don't want you to get in volve in this miss. So staying here away from them is the best option, even if it means that we will be separated."

"I trust you.."

"I'm not gonna lie, we had something in the past. But it's just all about sex, nothing more.. She's there when I was in my vulnerable state, but I promise you, there's no love between us. And the last time that we saw each other was way before you came to us, and that was 4 months ago. "

"What if she's going to put you in a tightspot? "

"She already did.."

"What do you mean.? "

"After you left the mansion, the next day, she announced to her entire family about her pregnancy and they told them that I was the father. Her entire family congratulate her of course. After that, I receive non stop call from her relatives, telling me how happy they are about the baby. They want me to be with her.. " He paused. And took a deep breath. "..and yesterday, her parents went to my fathers office, they wanted to discuss our marriage.."

"Marriage?!" He sat up straight in the bed. His eyes widened.

"That's the reason why I need time. Because I can't just simply tell her family that that child is not mine and she's not my girlfriend. Nobody will believe me. And if they do, they might hurt you, cuz your the reason for everything. I need to give them a solid proof that Gigi and I never were together--"

"What if she's going to blackmail you? Or what if that child is really your child and force you to marry--"

Zayn hushed him up by kissing him deeply. Locking his face in his hands.

"Did I just say to trust me? And even if that child is mine, babe. I will never marry her. There's no reason for me to marry her.. I will still choose you because you're my future.."

He nodded, eyes becoming watery as he held back his tears. Zayn hugged him tight.

"I'm scared, I wish I can do something.."

"I don't want you to do anything babe. You've got more important things that you need to take care of." He said. And he brushes his bump and gives it a quick kiss.

"I'll fix everything, I'll make this right for us. It will not be that easy especially Gigi came from will-known family, not to mention his father is a politician and it will be a big scandal and humiliation for their family if they knew the truth."

"I trust you. And if you want me to wait, then I will wait even if it takes forever. But let me tell you, I don't trust her.."

He smiled. "You don't need to.." He kissed him again and pulled him closer. "I love you.."

"I love you more.."

That morning, they went in the kitchen looking for Stella. They decided to tell her everything. But they both burst into laughter when they saw Stella's shocking reaction when she saw Zayn standing behind him, eyes widened shouting and jumping with joy. Zayn hugged her. She can't stop saying how he misses him, kissing him and hugging him in a motherly way.

"I'll cook your favorite food. Okay? Stay here for a while.." She said. Can't hide the excitement in her face.

After they had breakfast, Harry walked Zayn in his car outside. They were standing in front of his car when Zayn hugged him tightly and caged his face so he can kiss him. Then wipe his tears in his cheeks.

"Just remember what I told you, babe.."

Harry nodded. "Yes.. Just come back as soon as possible.."He pressed his forehead to his and savored the aroma and his breath for the last time.

"I will.. I love you.."

"..love you more.. My Zayn.."

The pain that they both feel while looking at each other fading as they separated is aching so much that they can't describe it in words. But realizing that this situation cannot be avoided is like 10 times the pain. They can't do anything about it but just to believe in each other's words.

Zayn can't stop watching the side merror in his car as he drives away from the man standing behind. His half, his rock, his future. He was holding his tears. Trying to tell himself that there's no time to be emotional.

Harry's tears can't seem to stop dripping in his eyes as he watches Zayn's car vanish. He needs to keep reminding himself that this is their plan and he will come back for him. Looking at the person who seems so close yet so far is so frustrating. But he loved him so much, his pillar, his everything, his half. He needs to believe in him and trust him.

That day Stella stay by his side while he weep.

----------------------------------

Before Zayn went back, he told Harry that he had already talked to Dr. Tomlinson about transferring his record to the closest hospital in his place in Redditch. Which are still owned by the Malik's. Right now he needs to focus his attention to his growing belly. He's about to go for his six months pregnancy. His belly is already obvious and could no longer be hidden in any of his clothes.

Not single day that he won't think of him. The first week is very hard but everytime he misses him, he will just recall his promise to him. Unfortunately, within that week, not a single text or call was sent to him. Exactly what Zayn told him.

To avoid being depressed, he started to fix his bakeshop, and brought some stuff for the store. He needs to keep himself busy or else he'll think negatively for everything that happened to them.
