Leather and Lace {Zarry}

Chapter 5

Harry's POV:

I know that I can't stand to see him now. But there's a soft corner still In my heart that still beats for him and now after the whole day not seeing his face, making me worried like hell.

Why didn't he came to me before leaving? Wait...did he seriously left? How dare him to leave without meeting me and that too on his first day?!

All these thoughts were making my head ache in pain, but when I reached his cabin, through the small crack of the door, I could see that his room's lights were on.

And what I saw melt my heart, he was frantically making marks and reading the manuscripts stiil at this hour. Ughhhh! Why!? Is he always like this? Always too much dedicated towards everything....... Except me I think.

I slowly opened the door without making any noise. He was engrossed in his work. Didn't notice me. His beauty still makes my knees weak. And now there's more to add. So many things changes in all these years.

He is built different now. I think he may have been into boxing. His physics is very structural that way like me and so many more tattoos are adorned his body. Attracting me like a magnet. But I couldn't say any of those, the only words came out of my mouth is, 'Zayn? You didn't leave?'

He was so devoted in his work, that at first he thought he is hallucinating, as he blinked again and again to clear his vision. I think he thought he's seeing things now.

So I said again 'Zayn! Go home! You can finish everything tomorrow.'

He seemed confused. Didn't uttered a word, though he tried by mumble something out. So I said again 'It's an order! Go home..... Now!'

He abruptly stood up and said 'But..... Har..... I... I... I mean..... Sir! The task you gave me.... I couldn't finish it all!'

I couldn't control myself. I went up to him and stood face to face. Now our breaths were mingling. There's no space in between us. His breathe got hitched, mine too. I said in a haste 'You can finish it tomorrow. Now go!'

'B... But!?'

'Just go!'

He could sense the hesitation and worries on my behalf, so he grabbed his Belonging quickly without saying anything and walked to the door and was about to walk out but he stopped there and said looking at my eyes 'Thank you....... Harreh!'

And before I could respond to that, he was gone. I couldn't help myself but smile genuinely, which I did after a loooong time. He's still mischievous after all these years.

But I can't think of all this, when I know how much he tortured me for all these years. He will get punishment for this tomorrow. He surely will, although my other half brain is opposing me right now.

Anyway I have to go home quickly. Tomorrow I have a plan to swim in the ocean with Jeff which I can't miss for anything. It's so much fun! I love swimming. I hope the weather stay nice for swimming and I could push him further in ocean. He is a coward when comes to swimming.

**************

Next morning I woke up early and called Jeff to wake him up too. He is a lazy ass. When I looked out of the window, I saw a clear sky, perfect for swimming.

I was too excited, as always. I love swimming and specially since I came here in LA. It's such a lovely and nice place.

When I swim, all my worries wash away. I feel so much relief. I am hoping for that today too.

I drove to the beach in my car and applied the tan lotion all over my hands and face in the car itself and then climb off from the driver seat after parking it at the usual parking lot.
