Flashbacks (ZARRY AU)

PART 7

It was three days ago when Zayn and Harry meet again. It was an awkward one too.

Zayn didn't get any decent sleep since they've seen each other again and his mind is filled with Harry. He can't even forget Harry's face now. Harry had become even more beautiful. He cut his hair short though but still, he looks so good with his porcelain like skin, his green eyes even greener, his pink lips, and his physique, his body had grown and Zayn just noticed that how long and sexy his legs are. Zayn also seen Harry's hands and he saw a hint of tattoo there. The cross what's caught his attention.

Zayn groaned as he laid his head on his office desk "Zayn? You okay?" he heard Louis' voice and he motioned Louis to come inside his office "Awww can't stop thinking about the green eyed beauty?" Louis said as Zayn lifted his head and looks at Louis "What's the next step on this Lou? Should I ask him to see me? So I can apologize?" Zayn asked "Maybe the tension's gone now. Its been three days. Yeah, you can probably ask him out" Louis answered with a tease on the word 'out'

Louis gave a smirk as Zayn glares at him "Ask him out to apologize...nothing more" Zayn said "Whatever you say, lover boy" Louis gave him a wink as Zayn gave out a cringe expression. Why would Louis think that? Harry and him had been good friends back in high school...there's nothing more to it.

"Now, pick up your phone and call him" Louis instructed as Zayn was confused "How will I call him? I don't have his number" Zayn said as Louis snickered "Good thing I come prepared!" He said as he showed Zayn his tablet "Now, I know we have rules on not using our customers number for personal use but this one, its an exception" Louis scrolled through his tablet and smiled when he saw Harry's name "Here—" he showed Zayn his details "Are you sure that's his number? What if that's Niall's number?"

"Oooh believe me, that is not Niall's number. Now quit stalling and just dial his number!" Louis answered as Zayn sighed and grabbed his phone.

He input Harry's number and was having hesitation on pressing the call button "Oh for chrisakes!" Louis then went towards Zayn and pressed the button instead "Louis you idiot!" Zayn hissed as he heard the other line ring and on the fourth ring "hello?" Zayn's heart palpitated hearing a deep and slow patterned voice on the other line "Hello?" Harry said again as Louis slapped Zayn's shoulder "Say something!" Louis whispery hissed. Zayn composed himself, clearing his throat before answering "Hi, um is this...is this Golden?"

"Oh yes it is. Are you a client? I can direct you to our customer service—"

"No! I mean, I'm not a client. Well, I hadn't seen your designs yet so I say I'm not your client but—" Louis rolled his eyes hearing Zayn ranting so he slapped his shoulder again and Zayn instantly looks at him with a glare "Ow?!!!!" Zayn mouthed "Get to the point! Quit rambling!" Louis answered back as Zayn gave a nod. Right, he should just be straightforward "Sorry about that. Um Harreh, this is Zayn" and with that, the other line got quiet. Zayn waited for Harry to respond but it seems he's frozen on the other line "Um Harreh? You still there—"

"Still here" Harry answered "What can I do for you, Mr. Malik?" Zayn's entire being shivered hearing Harry calling him Mister "Uh...." Zayn stood as he gestured Louis to get out of his office. Louis gave a nod as he obliged. Zayn pace inside his office thinking what to say "Well, I uh...wanted to ask you....which I'm hoping you'll say yes to it...." Zayn gave a slight chuckle "Harreh...would you like to meet again?" Zayn's heart is pumping like crazy inside his chest.

What if Harry says no? Of course he'll say no! After what you did back in high school? Zayn you stupid, stupid boy!

"But if you're busy and all, its okay—"

"Okay" Zayn's eyes widened with surprise "I'll meet with you. We can meet at your Dad's pizzeria" Harry answered "What is it called again? Trina's pizza?"

"Trisha's Pizza" Zayn answered back "And why would you want to meet there?" Zayn questions "Its a 20 minute drive...its convenient for me" Harry answered "Okay, awesome. I'll see you this weekend? If that's okay with you?" Zayn said "Weekend it is...see you at 3pm this Saturday" Harry answered back as Zayn can't help but smile. After setting up the date, Zayn couldn't help but to be nervous again. This is it! Do your very best to make Harry forgive you!

Saturday came by quick. Zayn went to their pizza house earlier than usual and Yaser was surprised "Why are you here so early?" Yaser asked while arranging the counter.

Zayn was fixing the paints that's on the ground "Um....Harry will be here" Zayn said without looking at his father and hoping he didn't hear him but Yaser has good ears, he definitely heard Zayn "Wait, what? Harry will be here?" Yaser said almost raising his voice "But....how?"

"We bumped into each other and well, I made plans to meet him" Zayn answered as he carried the paints on his hands and walked towards the back door. When he came back, his Dad was astounded "So Harry just agreed just like that?" Yaser asked with a questioning look as Zayn shrugged "Yeah I guess"

"Huh, maybe Harry did change...maybe he already moved on from what happened?"

"This meeting is for me to apologize to him....I want him to forgive me" Zayn said back "Whatever the outcome may be later, I will accept it. I just want Harry to know how I regret what happened that day and how sorry I am..." Zayn added as Yaser nodded his head "That's good son..."

After cleaning the unfinished painting on the wall, and its scattering paints and brushes, Zayn readied himself to meet Harry.

He waited on the pizzeria, helping his father from time to time. Zayn grabbed his phone from his pockets and its already 3PM and Harry didn't show up yet "Relax son. He'll be here" Yaser assured as Zayn gave a small smile.

Customers by customers later, Zayn was anxious and clammy. Its past 3PM but Harry didn't showed up yet. Zayn checked his phone again and its already 4PM. Zayn sighed and went to the counter where his dad is "I think he's not coming" Zayn sadly said "Oh son...its okay..." Yaser comforted "After this, you wanna go grab some beer?" Yaser asked hoping to lift up Zayn "Its been so long since we've drank together" He added as Zayn shrugged "Yeah sure....beer sounds nice" Zayn answered. But before Yaser can answer back, he paused to see who just came in their shop "I think beers can wait" he looks at Zayn and gave a wide smile "You have a customer" He added as Zayn turned around.

Zayn's breathing hitches and his heart started palpitating seeing Harry.

Harry's here! Finally!
