It's a Summer Fling

Chapter 12 (real this time)

Lauren's P.O.V.

I freaked out, so I walked out the elevator. That's exactly what I was scared of, falling for Zayn again with no one to help me back up.

He walked after me "Wait for me!" he said running beside me. He smiled, my stomach started churning at the sight of his perfectly evened face. "What happened?" he asked.

"Oh, um nothing. Let's go inside shall we?" I unlocked the door walking in to see the roses petals were gone, frowning I walked to the bed to see a bundle of roses and a note. "Red roses for the 13 years I should've been with you & white rose the 5 that I have. Love, Zayn." I turned around and smiled at Zayn. "How cute," something caught my eye I walked into the bathroom to see what Zayn had given me on our first date by the lake at camp. "Zayn...did you buy this or is this the exact one you gave me?" I wondered holding onto the stuffed panda bear like my life depended on it. "I actually saved it from when you left it at camp last year. I was gonna mail it to you, but I decided maybe, just maybe if I gave to you in person I would earn a kiss." he smirked slightly looking and me walk over to him.

"Well you thought right." I smiled kissing his cheek. "Thank you for this."

He walked to the bed with me to talk some more. "That wasn't the kind of kiss I was hoping for, but it's better then nothing."

I laughed quietly to myself, sitting on the bed pulling Zayn with me. "Can I ask you one more question? I forgot to ask at the restaurant." Zayn nodded his. "Did you tell Lana to not put our interview in next months article?" He looked at me.

"Well I had just broken up with Perrie and no one knew. So I thought if they put that in the article that you would get hate. And I just don't think you're ready for that." He had concern in his eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just thought it would be for the best until we're ready." I smiled, God I cant fall for him. Just him being protective of me was enough for my heart to melt.

"You're amazing, you know that?" I rested my hand on his thigh then quickly taking it off realizing how awkward that must of been for him. "Um sorry." I blushed feeling my cheeks burn up.

"It's fine, Lauren." He smiled sincerely, "Are you tired?" he asked looking me in the eye.

"Yeah I little," I felt him hold my hand, gently stroking his thumb against my hand. "Don't mind me."

"I can leave so you can sleep." he stood only to be pulled down by me. "Stay? Please?" I begged not wanting to sleep alone or have no one to comfort me if I had another nightmare.

I laid down smiling at him. "Thank you," he kissed my cheek gently laying down next to me. "This means a lot to me."

"Whatever I can do to make you happy." he ran his fingers through my hair gently, I could feel him watching so I decided to pretend I was asleep. "I love you, Lauren."

I smiled to myself. Maybe today is the day I fell in love with Zayn all over again. But maybe tomorrow would be the day no one helped me pick up the broken pieces.
