Once in a lifetime

Chapter 30 Angel

They stayed on the call for a while after the mess they made. Zayn was giving the last details as per what they could do to entertain their parents and how he made the arrangements in the gallery to be available for them. Harry made some on his end too, to ensure he wouldn't have anything pending before they arrive. That was another reason why he stayed longer at the office, but he just loved drama.

When Zayn told him he was getting a quick shower because he was disgustingly sticky and Harry joked about licking him clean, they said good night, not before Harry asking for a shower picture and Zayn asking Harry to let him know he arrived at home safely. Zayn wasn't going to sleep yet, being the night owl he always had been, but didn't want to distract Harry much and make him go home even later.

After obliging with the requested picture, he jumped in bed to watch a movie. His mind wasn't on the film, though. It was with Harry, as usual nowadays. How can someone be so lucky to find his soulmate, someone who turned out to be much of a freak like himself, without even looking for one another? They were so much two halves of a whole and yet, pillars capable of standing by themselves. Harry was such a strong, devoted, and passionate man that Zayn had no other option but fall deeper and deeper in love with him.

"About one hour to go. I think I'll have everything done by then. I truly wish we were cuddling now."

Zayn read Harry's text to which he added a lot of crying face emojis. He decided he didn't want to sleep without Harry tonight, so since he had time, he got up and went to the kitchen. He wanted to bake something for Harry, though he was not sure it would be ready on time. Yet, got everything out for a plum cake and prepared it as fast as he could. He left ready everything to make him cocoa too.

It would take about an hour for it to bake, give or take, and he was about five minutes car ride away from Harry's office. He would leave it half-baked and when they get back, he would finish it. He didn't want to take the chance to burn it. He was already on his PJs, but as he was just to pick Harry up, he didn't change them. Fifty minutes later, he was getting out of his apartment, heading to his car. Hopefully Harry would want to go with him.

Fifty-seven minutes after Harry sent the text, Zayn was in front of his office building, waiting for him. His phone vibrated with a new message from Harry.

"M' precise as a fucking clock. M' leaving now, finally. Fucking bullies set me free after all. You asleep, babe? Wanted to say good night one more time."

Zayn got out of his car, surrounding it, and leaning on the hood, he waited for Harry. He replied to the text just saying not asleep yet, sweetheart. When Harry got out, he was looking at his phone, probably reading Zayn's last text, so when he looked up the wonder reflected in his face was the most adorable thing Zayn had seen. He prepared himself for impact when he saw him running toward him, knowing Harry would body slam him again.

"Baby! You are here! How are you here?" Harry screamed, and when he got to Zayn, he in fact body slammed him and jumped on him, straddling him, making Zayn grab his ass for support and Harry locked his legs around Zayn. They kissed for a while, just breaking it up to breathe a little.

"Hi love. I didn't want to sleep without you, so I came to pick you up. Wanna go home with me?

"Of fucking course, angel. I love this. Thank you for coming." Harry replied, nuzzling Zayn's neck.

"Alright, babe. Let's go then." Zayn slapped his bum, so Harry would let go.

"Don't wanna. Can you drive us like this? I don't want you to put me down." Harry said with a pout.

"We don't fit like this in the car, love. But we can make out like this on the lift, yeah?"

"Okay." Harry grinned, tugging Zayn's hair softly. They kissed some more, and Zayn put him down.
