HELPING HAND [ZARRY]

Last Chapter

ZAYN:

He was making breakfast for everyone actually just trying to distract himself from the constant inner nagging which tells him to go and tell harry how he feel right away but he also couldn't find the courage to do it. Then he saw doniya enters the kitchen and comes infront of the isle he was working.

'Wow! This looks amazing.
Are you sure you didn't call a caterer?' doniya chuckled looking surprise at seeing a platter full of food made by Zayn (even if it's only a fruit salad and coffee)

"Are you sure you didn't call a caterer?" he said mocking her which did make her snicker at his childishness.

'So, are you gonna invite Harry?' doniya questions him he opens his mouth to reply but Amir came in the kitchen at the same time with a big basket full of gifts.

'Would you look what my fantasy football league sent over... ...to celebrate baby Angie's first Christmas?' he said impressed taking out the gifts from the basket which contains stuffed animals,christmas decorations, flowers, and a bottle of champagne which clearly caught Zayn's attention and he just starts looking at it getting lost in his thoughts.

'Hmm. We'll, uh... We'll raise a toast later. Mm.' he told doniya finishing emptying the basket and just walked out of the kitchen after stealing some fruits from Zayn's fruit platter.

'Why are you staring at the champagne?' doniya inquires looking at him carefully.

"I'm gonna tell Harry how I feel." zayn said finally looking up at her with a certainty in his eyes and a smile on his lips.

'Amazing. I'm so proud of you.' she said smiling. 'So... why are you staring at the champagne?' doniya inquires still not understanding the infatuation she had witnessed that he showed to the champagne bottle.

"I told my friend, Louis, that big deals should be celebrated... and this... is a really big deal." zayn said settling the idea in his head of wanting to be with harry at any cost and started walking towards the door with braveness.

'You're still in your Christmas pajamas!' doniya said from behind him snickering slightly which made him stops in his tracks embarrassed but just turned himself towards the stairs instead of the main door to go change his clothes with his head held high to cut off the embarrassment.

HARRY:

He was sitting with gemma who pulled him outside and she had just tells him that she did saw him closing the door looking hurt after staring longingly at Malik's house and she wanted to ask her brother the reason of the hurt. So now both of them are sitting on the stairs infront of his mother's house and he's gathering the courage to tell her everything because he can't handle it alone no more or else it will break him.

"I like Zayn. But I need someone who puts his family first, not flies to Hawaii on Christmas." he spoke to her looking ahead of him blinking rapidly controlling his nerves.

'Excuse me, but from what you told me, didn't he drop everything to take care of his niece and nephew? I mean, that's pretty much the definition of putting family first, isn't it?' gemma asked him with raised eyebrows.

"For a couple of days. I need someone for the long haul, Gemma." he tells her now looking seriously at her.

'Bro, there's no guarantees in life. How'd you leave it?' gemma asked him concerned for her baby brother's happiness.

"Well, he paid me for our time together, and that tells me what he thinks." harry said bitterly now looking ahead again.

'So he followed through on paying you what you agreed to?' she said to him sarcasrally nodding her head looking at him.
