Malik - Z.M (Book 1, Malik Series)

23.

I wanted to continue questioning Zayn about Elisa and his cousin, but I knew it'll give everything away about how thrilling it made me feel.

I knew hat bringing my hopes up was a bad idea, but I couldn't help it.

I couldn't have possibly fallen for a psychotic after two months.

Each time he touches me, or each time I ignore it, it's like my body is pushing against me.

My mind is telling me one thing, my heart wants another.

I discreetly divert my gaze off the TV screen and towards Zayn who's too focused on his laptop.

Biting my lip, I look back at the screen and sigh to myself.

Why are we even here anyway?

"What's your password for your work email?" Zayn questions out of the blue and I look back at him.

"Why?"

"Because you're still my personal assistant." Zayn says morbidly.

I raise an eyebrow. Oh. "You have emails that hasn't been checked in eleven weeks, Alissa."

"Can I type it?" I mumble lamely.

"Just tell me." Zayn frowns annoyed.

I bite my lip. "Bootypop101."

Zayn stares at me, a grin on his face. "Are you serious?"

I grin. "No, it's 160494ALL"

"Your date of birth and initials?" Zayn raises an eyebrow.

Okay that's creepy. "Yeah. Oh, can you cancel my pornhub subscription?" I tease.

"Haha." Zayn mocks before looking down at his laptop screen.

I stand suddenly and wall up behind him.

"Has my mum emailed?" I question quietly.

"I'll see." He murmurs.

Without even asking me, he types her name down and I raise my eyebrow at him.

Results come up like I expected. Nothing.

I sigh. "Like I said the other day. She loves me so much." I say dryly.

"You have a lot of emails from some of my clients." Zayn murmurs.

"It's been two months. Of course I would." I say.

Zayn turns to look at me and frowns. "Go watch TV."

I roll my eyes and walk away from him. Sitting myself down on his bed, I grab the remote and flip to the news.

I still can't believe Taylor and I haven't been on the news for abduction.

Does Kevin even care? I frown suddenly and look back at Zayn.

"Do you know Taylor's boyfriend?"

Zayns fingers that are typing on the laptop slows down.

"Why?"

I shrug.

"Does he go by the name of Kevin?" Zayn questions.

I nod slowly as he looks at me.

He half smiles, "Yeah. I know him. He came by my office a few days after I had you and Taylor. He wanted to see you."

I frown. "You didn't kill him, did you?"

I widen my gaze at him.

"No. Of course not." Zayn shakes his head, and I sigh in relief.
