Silence is a scary sound

Capítulo 13

"Pearl and I are going into town, do you wanna come?" I ask Zayn, watching him pace around his room. "We can leave around 1pm so you can come just after work?"

I haven't seen him since we kissed yesterday. I spent the whole evening talking to Pearl and he's been in his room all morning.

He shakes his head and shoves some papers in a backpack.

"I'm working all day today," he mumbles without looking me in the eye.

"Oh, are you closing? You can still join us for dinner though," I smile leaning on the doorway.

Today is one of my days off, to enjoy with Pearl and just the idea of spending it with Zayn too, brightens up something in me.

"Uh no, sorry, I've already made plans," he says concentrating on something on his phone.

He's avoiding me

There's a slight possibility he's made plans with Louis so if I convince him to come Zayn will have to tag along.

I've been thinking about his mouth the whole time since yesterday. My dreams were thoughts on his lips... Or maybe they were just dreams? It was confusing. I just can't get it out of my mind.

Even the way he touched my back and sides is something I can't seem to forget.

"Excuse me," he mutters trying to walk out his bedroom door, that I'm blocking.

I move slightly, in an absolute zombie state and open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out.

By the time my brain connects with my body, the click of the front door shutting is heard down the hallway.

It was only a kiss... It's not like he has to spend his whole life with me, I understand that. Just thought it'd be nice to spend the day together... Mind you, he's probably kissed thousands of girls, he's not going to be giving our kiss any second thoughts.

But I am, cause that's just me. I obsess over things I have no control over because otherwise they'll do my heading.

"Lucy," I snap into my phone. "Can you send me the timetables of every employee's shift at the café in my road?"

I thank her before hanging up and enter the kitchen, finding Pearl digging something out the draws.

"I thought you didn't have a PA," she says fishing a spoon out.

"I don't, Lucy is my secretary at the office," I explain grabbing my phone again to check if the email is there.

"And has the café that Zayn works at have anything to do with CW?" She asks, turning around to face me.

Pearl's holding a bowl of cereals, she's stearing a spoon around while her accusing smirk taunts me.

"I'm only checking on him!" I exclaim studying Lucy's email.

Zayn's only working for a couple hours this morning. Why would he lie about leaving work early? He could've just said he had plans all day.

"Well, just remember not to track down information since birth about all his friends... " she says shoving cereals in her mouth.

"I'm only trying to keep you two safe, Pearl!" I exclaim frustrated. "I don't do that anymore but if I hadn't done it you'd still be trusting that emo psycho. I've told you not to hang out with older kids," I mumble searching for Louis number.

"Sure," Pearl mumbles ignoring me.

She walks out the kitchen with the bowl in her hands and I hear her munching into the living room.
