Heartless

Chapter 36

{a/n Carissa's costume is a combination of these two outfits plus the heels}

Zayn's POV

Tonight was the night of the famous Halloween party at Jays fraternity house.

The boys have been waiting for this time for months and it's finally here. I was excited too, believe me, but there was one thing on my mind that had me spacing out all day.

Carissa's costume.

I wanted to know so badly what she was going to be. She wasn't playing fair because I already told her what I was wearing.

I was going to be shirtless with claw marks along my chest, almost like a werewolf scratched me. My face was going to be the same, with one side of my cheek slashed. I was also going to wear contacts so it looks like I'm in the process of transforming. It was going to be sick.

"Carissa," I groan, banging my head on the door softly. "Let me see what you're wearing tonight."

"In a second Zayn hold on," she giggles softly. "I'm almost done."

I shouldn't have let her change in first. I still needed to do my costume and it was almost time to leave.

The sound of the door unlocking makes me stand taller as she opens the door. And my jaw nearly drops to the floor.

She was wearing a furry dress that was fitted around her chest and loose as it went down. Her hands were slipped into these furry paw gloves and her head was covered by a hood that had ears poking out. As I travel my gaze down to her feet she's wearing gray heels and with separate furry ankle cuffs.

"So..." She trails off, looking at me with a huge smile. "Do you like it?"

"Damn," I groan as I walk in. She starts to step back as I sit on the bed, propping myself on my elbows.

"Turn around for me babe." She starts to turn her body slowly until I see her back, and I almost loose it when I see the tail. The back of the dress was kind of like a corset style as it was tied.

"Do you like it?" She asks once she faces me.

"I love it," I smile. "I was going to wear something similar to that actually."

"Really? Like what?"

"Give me a few moments to get my costume ready," I reply and stand up, kissing her cheek before going into the bathroom.

Once I finish with the scar wax and fake blood, I go onto putting the eye contacts in. I smirk one I see the final product of my costume and step out, seeing Carissa sitting down on the bed. She looks up, and she gapes at me.

"You look really cool," she admits. Walking over to her, she stands up and examines my face and chest.

"Thanks," I smile, kissing her briefly on her lips.

"Let's go," she whines, tugging at my arm. "I want to see what the boys are wearing as well."

We take a cab instead of using my car because it seems like the best way to go. The driver we had was terrified of me because of my costume and Carissa tried to contain her laughs. When we reach the boys' place, I lay the driver and head out. The cab speeds away and I look at Carissa with a grin.

"He was really scared," Carissa comments as we walk towards the door. I chuckle in response and head in the house without knocking.

Liam walks in from the kitchen with an awesome ghoul face paint and Carissa nearly shrieks.
