Trouble in Paradise

Though I try to get you out of my head
The truth is I got lost without you

Nikita's POV

"What do you mean she never broke the engagement?" I exclaimed running a hand over my face. "I thought that Kabir and Waliyha are back together, how can she still be engaged?"

I wanted to let out a scream, I was so daḿn frustrated.

Zayn let out an exasperated breath. "I don't know what's going on, I'm just as confused as you are. All I know is, Max is here to see his fiance, but my stupid little sister is out with your brother."

Okay seriously, what was going on?

"Do you want me to call Kabir?" I mumbled shifting the phone from my left to the right ear. Finding a good spot, I leaned against the kitchen island. "I'm sure I can ask him without risking blowing our cover."

"There's no use or need. I called them a while back; both numbers are out of the network coverage. They have been out since morning; hopefully they'll be back soon."

I lifted my left hand to look at my watch. It was almost seven in the evening; shouldn't they be back by now? I let out a sigh again. Here I thought, after the busy day I had at the office, I'd come back home and get some relaxation time. Draw myself a bath with my favorite bath bombs and maybe read a book, but I don't think that was happening. All I was getting was aggravated!

"I'm worried Zayn. They are perfect for each other, and love like that, is hard to find. I just don't want them to separate. We have followed through the most ridiculous of things; we can let it all fall apart now!"

"Hey hey hey", he crooned trying to get my attention "I'm here right, why do you get so worried? Okay, tell you what, forget about them for a second and tell me how my favorite girl is."

I couldn't help but let out let out a giggle. He really knew how to calm me down.

"She's good, but a bit exhausted though. There was just so much work at the office combined with how much she missed her incredibly sweet boyfriend, got her real tired."

And that made him chuckle, which was no less than music to my ears. "Well, she wasn't the only one; the boyfriend missed his beautiful girl as well, at least the duration he was awake. Speaking of which, about what I wanted to say earlier-"

"I understand Zayn", I cut him off midway, this just wasn't just the right time for this discussion. "We have more pressing issues at hand and its fine if you want to talk about it later."

He let out a sigh of relief. "And you read my mind. Thanks for understanding babe."

"Always Zayn."

Plopping myself up on the kitchen stool, I spun myself around. A girl got to keep herself entertained after all.

"Baby, shouldn't you be resting right now?"

And this is the reason why I couldn't help but fall in love with him. His caring nature was one like I had never seen before.

"Maybe, but I can't Zayn. I'm so jittery and not in a good way. I can't even sit still for a second."

"You're way too tensed, and I'm not having any of that. Now, listen to me carefully, you're going to do as I say, hear?"

My ears perked up at his words. Zayn was actually being bossy. Wow, this is new!

"Sure", I said trying best to keep a lid on the laughter that was threatening to bubble out of me. He was so adorable; I couldn't help it, could I?
