Zayn's POV

Laying on my bed I smiled recalling Allana's antics in the past few days. I was aggrieved at her for not trusting me but her earnest attempts in making things right between us had considerably decreased my anger.

The day after her apparent date with Josh , she had visited me in my room in the morning. However since I was accompanied by Louis she simply updated us relating to changes in the schedule and left. She appeared crestfallen with bags under her eyes discreetly staring at me but I was adamant to not let her in easily.

We were scheduled for a radio interview in the afternoon. Teasdale was styling my hair while Lux was blabbering about some new cartoon.

"Lou ,I got the stuff you asked for. Can you have a look at it and let me know if you need something else ?" , Allana said placing a box on the table.

I caught her reflection glancing at me in the mirror and our eyes locked for a second before she looked away. She was on the verge of tears , her bottom lip quivering.

" You got almost everything except the a few new bottles I had asked for." , Lou replied rummaging through the box.

" If you could provide me with a list of their names I shall get them." , Allana replied softly.

" I had already given the list to Joseph. I will go and have a word with him. This isn't the first time he keeps missing on the items I ask him to provide me." Lou huffed. " Can you do me a favor Allana and look after Lux until I get back ?" She requested Allana who willingly complied.

"Zayn I will be right back. Don't move from your chair." Lou sternly instructed me before walking away.

The air between us was thick with tension and awkwardness. I was refraining to look at her because her gullible state was crumbling my walls and it was almost a matter of a few minutes before I would rush to comfort her in my arms.

"Are you cold ?" Lux asked Allana.

" No I am not." She replied back offering Lux a faint smile.

"Why you wearing this then ?" , Lux said pointing at the beige polo neck hugging Allana's torso. "Mommy wears this during winter season."

Allana consciously tugged the polo neck ensuring that it covered 'my gift' adorning her skin.

"It's hot." I said training my eyes on her.

" What ?" She said surprised I was talking to her.

" I was implying towards the weather. It's rather warm today. Did you think otherwise ?" I asked her smirking.

" The warmth of the weather does not make a difference when your heart feels cold." She said looking downwards.

I couldn't muster a reply to comfort her so silence revived its arrival.

"Are you sad ?" Lux said moving towards Allana and wrapping her small chubby arms around her.

I inwardly thanked Lux as she was doing exactly what my heart was aching to do at the moment. Comforting Allana.

She barely reached Allana's waist. Allana bent down and lifted Lux in her arms.

" Thank you for the hug princess I needed one." She said pinching Lux's cheek.

"Uncle Zayn even you should hug Allana. Hugs are good." She said looking at me with her guiless blue eyes.

I was incoherent and Allana seemed flustered.

"Uncle Zayn is my favorite. He always makes me happy.He plays with me , tickles me and he buys me my favorite doll." Lux blabbered happily.

"He is my favorite too." Allana whispered . I caught her words and although they made me happy , her glum state rendered me doleful.

Teasdale arrived back procuring her required items for Joseph and Allana returned back to work. While Teasdale styled my hair I was in a battle with my subconscious torn between making a choice. I could forgive the misunderstanding which had occurred between us and free ourselves from the web of desolation. But if I wanted to make us work in the long run this was vital as it would help her acknowledge her feelings for me and perhaps start building faith and trust towards me. She had to learn to trust me and believe in my feelings for her.She needed to get over her doubts mainly discard the fact that I would betray or abandon her. I was adopting a different approach but there was a major downside to this , because if things didn't proceed in the manner I was hoping she could even given up on me.

We would be over before we even began.
