The Loner

Chapter 15:

I woke up still in Zayn's tight grip. I tried getting up but that made him hold on even tighter. He grunted a little bit.

"Don't leave me love!" His eyes were still closed and he was still halfway asleep. A thought came to me. I tickled him in his sides and instantly jumped up. I giggled and ran for it. He chased me up the stairs, I ran for my life. I figured I was getting it back. And I sure wasn't wrong.

He grabbed me by the hips and pulled me back towards him.

"Noooo!!!" I screamed he picked my up bridal style. Focusing on getting away, I tried tickling him, but he pinned my hands down so I couldn't move them. He threw me down on his couch and sat on top of me. He started tickling my sides. It hurt so bad, but tickled so much.

I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. Probably a very unpleasant sight. Zayn was laughing too. I finally got the strength to push him off of me. My turn I thought to myself. I knocked him to the floor and got on top of him. I started tickling him now. He was laughing really hard, I started to notice tears in the corners of his beautiful eyes. After a few more seconds I stopped and smiled at him. Sweet revenge.

"Whew! That was fun!" He chuckled as he said this.

"Yes it was. But I don't like being tickled!" I giggled and smirked at him.

"You wanna go see a movie?"

"Of course! I just need to get ready, like take a shower."

"Go ahead," his hands resting on his knees," ladies first."

"Thanks" I smiled at him and hopped up to get into my suitcase.

The warm water rushed over my skin giving me goosebumps. My green apple shampoo and conditioner smelt amazing and reminded me a little of home. Then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. At first I was a little confused, but then I realized that I was homesick. Even though life was rough, I missed Lizzy, I missed New Orleans! Tears started pouring out of my eyes. Even though they blended in with the water, I still felt them streaming down my face. I stood in the shower for quite a while. I lost track of time until Zayn knocked on the door.

"Sam? Are you ok love?" He sounded a little worried.

"Ya," trying not to sniffle too much, "I'm fine. Sorry I'm probably taking up all the hot water." I turned off the water and felt the instant rush of the air, and no more warm water.

"May I come in?" I heard Zayn say. I kinda freaked out cause I only had on my towel.

"Sure, but I only have a towel on."

He came in with a worried smile on his face.

"Sam, are you ok love?"

"Ya I'm fine" he obviously heard that I was lying, because he wasn't convinced at all.

"Quit lying to me."

" Ok, I'll tell you everything that has been on my mind. I'm very homesick already, I'm worried about my parents, and I miss Lizzy. Plus I'm so confused as to why I'm even in your house, in your arms, and even in your presence!" I plopped myself down on the side of the tub, with my arms securely wrapped around my naked body.

"Sam, I know you miss those things, but you just need to look forward into the future. And about me and you. I really like you Sam. You mean a lot to me and I just can't believe I found the perfect girl. I've been having trouble with my life too. We will be here for each other." His eyes looked straight into mine, never breaking contact.

I started crying and he pulled me into a tight hug that made me feel ok.

"Why don't you finished getting ready and we'll get going to the movie?"

"Ok" I said grinning at him.

****

"So what movie are we going to see?" I was really curious, because I loved movies.

"I was thinking Iron Man 3?"

"You read my mind!" I exclaimed very happy because I'd wanted to see that movie for a long time now.

We pulled into the parking lot and Zayn put on his coverup. I didn't like that he had to do that. I wish he got to be normal anytime he wanted. But I guess that was the price to pay when he decided to audition for the X-Factor.

Zayn payed for the tickets and bought us some popcorn and drinks. I loaded the popcorn with salt and butter. My favorite.

"You don't mind all the salt and butter do you?" I didn't want to ruin it for him.

"Not at all love." He smiled and kissed me lightly on the forehead. I don't think I'll ever get used to this.

He led me to the back of the theater, most likely trying to avoid people. I would too.

The movie started and he casually draped his arm over my shoulders, like he'd definitely done this before. I felt a tinge of jealousy run through me. But that quickly disappeared as the movie started up.

About an hour or so into the movie, Zayn kissed me on the cheek. I looked at him as if I were silently saying "what was that for?"

He tilted me chin up so I could easily kiss him on the lips. I was thinking about people seeing us, but nobody seemed to notice, surprisingly. He leaned in and I pulled back, teasing him.

"You little tease." He smirked as if he read my mind. I took the chance at his awaiting lips. I crashed into his. Hip soft lips attached to mine. Warmth spread all throughout my cold body. Zayn's hand rubbed up and down my arm. We stayed like this for awhile until I felt a sharp tap on my shoulder.

"Excuse me. But I'm going to have to ask you two to leave. There are children here and you are being major distractions." He was so stern.

"Ok sir. Sorry for being a distraction in the back of the room, when everybody is probably paying attention to the movie." Zayn said this quite sarcastically. But we got up and left anyways. As soon as we stepped outside, we burst out laughing. I didn't really know what was so funny, but whatever it was, was hilarious.

We held hands until we got to his car. We got in and headed home.

"Well that was fun." I said slightly giggling.

"Very. I love spending time with you." And with that he grabbed my hand and brought up to his lips and kissed my knuckles.

"It's like you are a prince, so polite."

"Well if I'm your prince, them you're my princess."
