Taken

Chapter Eight

 STEFANI'S POV

I watch as Katie slowly dozes off. I saw Liam grab her ass. I'm not blind. That didn't even bug me, what bugged me was that Katie didn't say anything to him. She just 'coughed' right after. I couldn't help but think that something was going on between them. Katie shifted in her sleep which snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked at her but she was still heavily asleep. I sighed and got off of the bed and walked over to the window seat. I look outside and see the black night full of stars. I need to get out there. I walk to the camera and wave my hand on front of it.

"Yes?..." I recognize it as Niall's voice.

"I want to go outside." I say calmly. He replies much louder than I expected.

"No!" I quickly shush him and point to Katie's sleeping figure on the bed.

"I swear I won't run, I just need to be outside. Please." I ask sincerely. I hear shuffling and Zayn's voice comes in next.

"I'm coming to get you. Be ready at the door." I nod my head and walk to the door. Zayn comes and opens the door just a minute later and I quietly step out. He locks it and I wait for him to turn around but he doesn't. He just stands there. I lay my hand on his shoulder and that seems to snap him out of his daydream. He turns around and nods toward the end of the hallway where the stairs are. I walk in front of him and his footsteps quickly follow. He leads us to the back door and we walk straight out on the sand. It's completely silent. All that's audible is the sound of our footsteps in the sand and the nice breeze. I stop when we get to the water and I walk in until my feet are covered by water. I wrap my arms around myself hoping that I can keep some warmth but it seems to work only a little. I suddenly feel two muscular arms wrap around my waist and some weight on my shoulder. My body naturally stiffens.

"What are you doing Zayn?" My voice is barely above a whisper and my body slowly starts to relaxed with the warmth that his body provided. I turn my head slighty and I feel his head shift too. Our lips are inches apart and his eyes dart from mine to my lips. They finally stop on my lips. His eyes meet mine again and he softly turns my body so we're facing eachother. My mind keeps telling me to move away but my body does the opossite and I feel myself moving closer to his body until we're flush against each other. The palms of my hands are on his chest and his are tightly gripping my waist. I look at his face and analyze his chissled feautures. The moonlight makes his skin look beautiful and I reach my hand up to the side of his face and stroke his cheek with my thumb. I don't know what possesed me to do this but I liked it. I've never been this intimate with someone like I was being with him.

He closed his eyes and moved his head forward until his forehead was rested against mine. I closed my eyes for a brief second and when I opened them he was looking straight at me. He let out a shaky breath and it hit my lips.

"What are we doing?" I ask more of us this time. I know it sounds silly considering we only met yesterday but I just needed to know what the hell we were doing.

"I don't know but I'm not going to stop." He softly whispers and the next thing I know his lips are on mine. The kiss wasn't like any other. It was soft and delicate. Our lips molded together perfectly. We pulled away together, both of our breathing was heavy. He pecked my lips one more time and pulled away. I can't say I didnt miss his body close to mine but that feeling was quickly replaced when he grabbed my good hand and interlocked our fingers. I looked up from our entertwined hand to his face and he was smiling at me. I smiled back slightly and looked away.

"C'mon, the lads would have my head if I don't take you back." I just nod my head and follow behind him. When we reach the back sliding door, I let go of his hand and immediately missed the warmth. I walked in ahead of him and he walked behind me up the stairs. We got to the door and he took out a set of keys and let me in. I walked in whithout another word and pulled the door close behind me, I heard the door lock and pressed my ear up against it. I didnt hear anything for a bit, then footsteps got closer.

"Mate, what are you doing near the door?" I hear Niall's voice ask.

"Nothing I just brought Stefani back." Zayn's muffled voice traveld through the door. When the footsteps faded away i turned and sat at the window-seat again. I quite like the view and if i could have one in my room I would. I smiled slightly looking at the spot that Zayn and I were just standing. A throat being cleared cought my attention. My head snapped to the bed where Katie was with a hurt look on her face.

"What?" I asked hesitently.

"What the hell was that?!" She harshly whispered pointing to the window.

"You saw?" I asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah! You can't be doing that! We're here for one thing, not to fuck around." Her voice was still harsh. Katie never, and I mean never, talks like that. I look at her again and scoff.

"Like your not doing anything with Liam. I saw him grab your ass, I'm not cluless Katie, I know." I harshly said back, but I didnt dare raise my voice, they could hear us. Her face went pale when I said the last words.

"You know we had sex?" She asked but it came out more as a statement. 'I didn't know they went that far.' I decided to go along with it to prove my point. I honestly was pissed that she let him get that far but I couldn't do anything about it. She's a grown woman and I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening, I mean it already happened, what do I do now?

"Yes. I do. And I would also like to inform you that I didn't fuck Zayn." I said back but softer. I just didn't want to deal with this, I was tired and my head hurt from over thinking everything that happened between Zayn and I.

"I know, You've never looked like that by the way. I know how you are with other guys, you didn't do it with him." She murmured but I still heard her.

"Yeah, I should stop while I'm ahead, we can't-" I stopped in mid sentence. A smile came onto my face and I looked at her.

"What are you smiling at?" She asked. I shook my head and walked over to her on the bed. I sat down and whispered my idea in her ear. She smirked and nodded. Hopefuly this will work.
