Uncradled Love *A Z.M. AU*

Chapter eighteen

Zayn's P.O.V.

Her jaw clenched and her fists balled up just from the mention of my name. She was still angry on me after bloody 2 years.

"I'm sorry, Sarah." I began and looked at my feet. She didn't reply. I looked up and continued,
" I know that you think I did wrong. But you know what, I agree. I did wrong. In fact, everything I did was wrong." I shook my head, feeling ashamed. Still no reply.

"Not declaring my feelings was wrong, letting you go from the park was wrong, kissing Perrie was wrong, accepting her again was wrong. Because I thought that I am wrong. But no, now I realised, everything would be perfect if just time could turn back." I paused.

"Perrie wanted me back, she came to the hospital that day. I was just telling her how beautiful you are and she heard your voice outside. So she sucked my mouth. She held me and so I was unable to move. You saw that, she succeeded and I lost you once more." I paused again and sighed deep.

Sarah's P.O.V.

What did you just say? It wasn't his mistake. He was unable to move because of his fractured leg and arm. Oh my gosh, I'm so stupid. I'm so selfish.
"I tried to find you everywhere." He said.
"But no, I failed. Then my old friend Harry met me at the park. He told me about his job and job mate. You. We made this plan and he involved Amelia too. Plus sorry Louis for not using your lines, I forgot." He shouted the last sentence.

A low chuckle escaped my throat and a smile appeared on his perfect face.
"You are the most beautiful girl I have met in my entire life and I mean it. The day you came at my house for Waliyha, you looked adorable. When you wore my shirt, you looked hot. In your teddy bear shirt, you looked stunning. All in all, you looked like..." he paused leaving me hanged.
"My princess." He concluded.

What? Does it mean that he loves me too?
"Yes. I love you. Or I guess, I should say I love you too." He walked close to me, saying that.

"You have the right to shout on this ugly man right here cause he deserves this." He said, pointing at himself.

"But before that, lemme ask you one thing." He paused.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked and rubbed the back of his neck.

I nodded. Excitement and joy filled my nerves as I ran to him.

He held me in his awaiting arms and I hid my head in the crook of his neck.

"I love you, Zayn Malik." I whispered in his ear.
"I love you too, Sarah Carter." He whispered back.

We broke the hug and our eyes met. His eyes held purity, truth, honesty and love. I couldn't believe that this was real, he was real. It was all unbelievable. He closed his eyes and leaned in. I did the same. Now was the time. The right time.
Our lips touched and the fireworks were set off in the surroundings. He held me close, from my waist and I held his neck. His other hand was busy caressing my cheek and mine was wrapped around his torso.
Our lips moved in perfect sync. The kiss showed love, passion and lust.
All of a sudden, the lights went on and we broke apart. He held me from the waist as a crowd of people entered the hall from a gigantic door.
The hall was decorated with white and pink roses and a big bunch was there at the wall which spelled,
"Happy Birthday Sarah".
That's when i realised what today was. There was a cake at the side placed on a table full of presents besides it.

"Congrats lad!" Niall came near us and patted Zayn's back.
"Thanks". Zayn replied, smiling goofily.
"You never used my lines". Louis came fake crying.
I chuckled.
"Sorry Lou, I forgot actually". Zayn replied faking to be ashamed.
"Don't talk to me". Louis said, crossing his arms. 
"How are you Ms. Carter?" Louis started talking to me.
"All fine. What about you Mr. Tomlinson?" I played along.
"Good. Here, meet my love". He said pointing to his side which was now empty.

He realised and shouted,
"Elllll...." In short, a beautiful girl dressed in baby pink gown was standing beside him.
"Hi, I'm Eleanor Calder. Nice to meet you". She greeted me.
"Sarah Carter. Same here". I greeted her back, just as warmly.
We talked for a while until Harry and Amelia appeared hand in hand, smiling.
"Oh I see". I said sarcastically.
"Oh c'mon. Enjoy the night with your man". Amelia replied in the same tone, smiling and I turned around to find Zayn with two lads and girls. One was Eleanor but I didn't know the other.
