MELODY

I get out of the car, my backpack slunged over my shoulder. I wave at Liam and Niall goodbye, then they rush off after they wave back. I was right, I found out today that they really are gay. They informed me that they're already engaged, and getting married around April. And honestly, their relationship is adorable.

I can barely walk, my feet are aching, and I have a huge headache. I walk toward our front door, then start knocking waiting for Harry to open up. I furrow my eyebrows, then press my ear against the door. It sounds really quiet, like no one is in the house. I ring the doorbell several times, and I get no response. I groan, where is he? Lately, Harry started working in a bakery because he loves baking, at least that's what he said, but my watch reads 9:47 PM. He doesn't have work at this time.

I kick the door with my foot and groan, "Where are you Harry?!"

"It's a bit late, don't you think?"

I turn around quicker than I intended to and face the man I've been dreaming of for days. Zayn is leaning against his door, with his arms crossed over his chest, and a smirk on his face. Thank god, I'm not wearing my costume right now.

"Hi." I smile shyly.

"What are you doing late at night?" His eyebrows raise playfully.

I begin to cross the street as slowly as I can to talk to him face to face, because it sounds stupid shouting from my spot back there. I study his angelic face, pointing out every beautiful flaw he has. I hear faint sound of a car's horn in the near distance. I turn around to the side, squinting my eyes because of the car's blinding light. I see it coming closer and closer as I panic, and try to move away.

"Melody!"

Everything happened so fast. I'm pressed up against a hard chest as I quickly wrap my hands around the person's waist in fear. I look up to find Zayn panting, his hands circle around my waist tightly and protectively. "Are you okay? That car could've ran over you." He breathes. I look into his eyes, and suddenly I feel safe in his arms. I cling into his body more, panting heavily. My life just flashed in front of my eyes.

"I-I'm fine." I inhale a deep breath, my heart beating fast in my ribcage as my stomach twists. He just saved me from a car accident.

My eyes trail down to his lips for a few moments, I want desperately to lean against his body and kiss him passionately, but the fear of rejection and getting caught by Harry overtakes my mind. So, I back away to evade the trouble I'll get into. Zayn's strong arms keep me in place though, as his face gets closer. My breath gets halted in my throat, then I start to ramble, "Thank you for dragging me out of there, you didnt have to—I mean I'm thankful you came and—"

Zayn shuts me up when he leans in, my eyes drop slowly when his lips touch mine. By now, I can hear my heartbeat and feel the adrenaline rising in my blood. The whole world becomes a blur as I only focus on the man in front of me.

"Kiss me." Zayn growls against my lips.

He starts to press his lips harder, then I get out of my trance and kiss him back. Our lips move in sync, and my heart can't stop pounding erratically. I grip his hair in my hands then he pulls me closer to his body, if that's even possible.

"Zayn.." I murmur.

We pull away breathless and panting. Catching my breath I say, "Zayn that was—"

Zayn shushes me by pressing his finger to my lips, "That was nice."

I feel the heat rising to my cheeks and my heart warming at his words, "It was."
