What Is Love - Zayn Malik

Chapter 19

Amira's POV:

Wow, Zayn really cares about Aliya. So the arrogant face he wears around her is fake? Well for me this is a good news. Zayn's attention is definitely diverted towards Aliya.
" Aliya good job. I didn't know you were such a good actor. This definitely shows Zayn cares about you, and that's practically what I wanted. Thanks sister." C'mon I have to be nice, she's doing so much for me.

Aliya's POV:

What the hell? Amira thinks I was faking all of this. I thought she knew everything about me, did she forget?
" It's alright Amira, you're my cousin, I'll do anything for you." I'm definitely not telling her that I actually can't swim.

The party is over and I feel like a party pooper. When Zayn went inside, everybody left, which was quite early. Oh I totally forgot to thank Zayn properly. He was really mad at Harry so I thought I shouldn't disturb him but I guess now he's probably alright.

I made my way to Zayn's room and knocked. Nobody opened, but in a while Zayn unlocked the door. He's wearing a black tank with his grey shorts. He's staring at me with empty eyes which are red in color. Was he... Crying?

" Umm, Zayn... May I come in?" I asked gently. I'm really not in the mood of argument.
He didn't reply, just left the door open for me to go inside, and so I did. I sat on the couch that was next to the window. It was quite dark in his room except for the moonlight.
" I just wanted to thank you, I owe you." I said to him. He was sitting in front of me but didn't say a word.

" Aliya... I think you should sleep and it's alright you don't have to thank me. Next time be careful. I told you to stay away from Harry." Zayn finally spoke. Why is he against Harry?

" Yeah, alright I'll go to my room. Where's Ronny?" He wasn't there in the room so I asked Zayn.
" Umm, I don't know. He never sleeps here at night." Zayn replied. I know where he is. In the guest room with Amira.

I turned around to leave, when suddenly I tripped. I was almost about to fall when Zayn caught me by my waist. My hands were around his neck. Our faces were so close.

I swear, whenever I come so close to Zayn, it reminds me of my first kiss with him. It's so sad that he didn't have feelings for me when he kissed me. It was just a mistake.

I know I shouldn't say this, because it will only hurt me, but I actually am growing feelings for Zayn. No worries I'll definitely stop soon.
We're staring at each other which is awkward so I looked away, but Zayn didn't stop.

His grip on my waist is getting tighter and he's bringing me closer to him... Very close.
" Zayn, I think I should leave now." I addressed Zayn so that he finally stops staring. Well, he actually did.

" Oh, sorry Aliya. I thought you were... Never mind. Bye." He sounds guilty.
I said goodnight and left.

I am back in my room. Obviously Amira won't sleep here.
I finally can sleep... No of course not. Someone always interrupts my precious sleep.
I walked up to the door, because someone is really impatient and will break the door just by knocking on it.
" Hey cupcake, you alright? I hope I didn't disturb you." Harry whispered. His voice filled with guilt.
This was so unexpected. Harry the sexy beast is at my door.
" I'm fine Harry, and no not at all. Come in" as I gestured him to follow, he came in.
I wonder what he's here for.
" I-I just wanted to say that, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I really didn't mean to hurt you. I thought you were joking. Please forgive me." Harry said innocently.

Aww, he's so sweet. God he's gorgeous.
" Harry it's absolutely fine. You don't have to apologize." I smiled just to show him that I really have forgiven him, and trust me, I never blamed him for the incident anyways.

" That smile is gorgeous babe." Harry smirked and slowly started leaning closer. Is he going to kiss me? Oh God. So much of happiness at the same time.

Harry freakin wants to kiss me? How amazing can life be?

I was so busy with my thoughts, when suddenly, I felt his lips on mine. They're  literally burning. His touch... God I love it.
In no time I kissed him back. The kiss was not sweet and gentle. It was rough and urgent. He bit my bottom lip, and I moaned his name.
" Babe say it again." Harry spoke in my mouth with his husky voice, and so I moaned again.
We pulled away because we were out of breath. What did we just do?
" Goodnight cupcake. See you tomorrow." He winked at me and left.

Zayn's POV:

Sometimes I feel like Amira doesn't care about me. She's just forced on getting engaged to me. We don't have a romantic relationship.

This is all mom's fault. I wish there was no such decision that was taken by our parents.
I think I should talk to Amira about this. I also want to tell her something.
This isn't appropriate, but there's just something about Aliya that makes me want her more and more. What if Amira isn't the one for me.

I'll just go and talk to the two of them and clear all this shit out, because it's really difficult to love someone who doesn't have mutual feelings towards you.

I'm standing in front of Amira and Aliya's room and still can't decide weather I should go inside or not.
I was about to knock when I heard Aliya.
" H-h-harr-y-y" did she just moan his name? That was when I decided to hide and peek inside.

No way! She is making out with Harry. I felt a sting somewhere in my chest. I was so wrong about Aliya. How can someone think about liking her? Zayn how can you forget that she's a slut?
I was still cursing myself when I saw Harry making his way towards the door.
In no time I ran towards the corner so that Harry won't be able to see me.

When he left, I decided to walk into Aliya's room.

" Aliya, what the hell was this? Didn't I tell you to stay away from Harry?" I bark at her face. Her wrist was under my grip, which was really tight.
" Zayn, why can't you mind your own freakin business? How's that your problem. Stop acting like my dad. I really like Harry and you can't stop me!" She snapped back at me and that's when I decided to leave her.
" Alright Aliya, bye." I left the room in silence.

Aliya's POV:

How can I be so stupid to grow feelings for Zayn, when he hurts me so much? Why can't he see Harry around me?
I get it. He is jealous.

I really like Harry and not even Zayn can stop me.
