Anything It Takes

Chapter 22

i honestly dont know what this chapter is gonna be. im kinda upset right now so lets see how this goes~ jesus im so sorry this chapte took so long to write.

(Maggie’s POV)

“I.. I’ve messed up.” My heart stopped. He’s just joking. He’s got to be. Zayn’s a liar.

“Wha.. What are you talking about?”

“Maggie, I.. I broke our promise.” No.

“Zayn. If you don’t tell me what you did right now... I...” My heart started beating really fast. My chest was hurting.

“I’ve cheated on you. Please just listen to me.”

Cheated. Cheated. Cheated. Cheater. He cheated.

“Maggie! Wake up!” I was shaken awake by a figure over top of me.

I looked around the room but I couldn’t see anything, it was too dark. The only visible thing was the person talking. They got out of bed and turned the water on. I sat up and put my hair in a messy bun.

“Here, drink this. Bad dream?” Alex. Alex was the one who stayed with me. Alex was helping me.

“Uhm, yeah.” I accepted the water and drank it slowly. The coolness felt amazing against my dry throat. He woke me up from my dream. Which really wasn’t a dream because it really happened, I just wish it was a dream. That’d be nice.

“Do you wanna go somewhere? We can go on a walk or we can watch a movie? I don’t know, anything really.” Alex rambled off a few ideas, and that made me smile because he wasn’t pushing me to see what happened. “Even if it is three in the morning, we can still go out.” I put a finger to his lips and got him to stop talking.

“I want to cuddle right here, in your bed, and sleep. Sing me something?” He smiled at me and put my glass on the bedside table. He got back under the covers and made sure that there wasn’t any space between the two of us. I laid my head on his chest and listened to him singing ‘Smile’ by Uncle Kracker. I smiled and listened to his heart beat.

“Thank you Alex.”

“What d’ya mean?”

I looked up at him, “Thank you for being there for me. For not pestering me with questions. For letting me be me around you. For everything.”

“Thank you for letting me be here. And I hope you don’t mind if I do this.”

“Do wha-” Alex closed the space between our lips and quite literally took the breath away from me. My hands found their way to his hair while one of his hands held our heads together and the other was roaming my sides. He lifted my shirt off and I tore his. Both of us in nothing but our underwear, we stripped down to our bare selves.Goosebumps were making their way to my skin in no time. I allowed his tongue in. My stomach lurched and my toes got that damn annoying tingly feel to them. Legs were rushing up and down the bed and over other legs. Arms were racing to every piece of skin that they felt they hadn’t already touched.

Innocent kisses were exchanged on every inch of bare skin that Alex could find. Every second was perfect. He was kissing my inner thighs, not going higher and not going lower, just simply leaving lovemarks.

“A-Alex.” His arms were supporting him, with his shoulders pressed back and his back surely flexed he leaned over my scars. He traced each one with a light fingertip. He didn’t even look up at me before he pressed his lips to my scars. He kissed every single last one on my thighs, stomach, wrists, and arms. He didn’t miss a single one. I stayed single the whole time, not wanting to ruin the moment.
