Divided Heart [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 18: Those Three Words (Part 2)

Avery's P.O.V

I walked towards Zayn, who was looking quite surprised. As I sat down, I faked a cough. “Didn’t expect to see me?” I joked. “Uhmm…Uh…Yeah.” he replied shyly, rubbing the back of his head. “Well, I’m here. Ta-da!” I said and Zayn suppressed a laugh. “Why are we here? Is it your birthday or something?” I asked while looking at the place. “It’s not my birthday today.” he replied shortly and he frowned. “Is there something wrong?” I asked him. He sighed and ran his hand on his hair. I just want to tell you how sorry I am. I was a jerk these past few days and I’m so sorry for that.” he said with sincerity. “I forgive you.” I told him and his face brighten up. “Really?” he asked, “Yup!” I said, popping the ‘p’. He chuckled and I was like, damn! His chuckle is so sexy. “You don’t know how much that means to me.” he said with a smile. “Well, I’m a forgiving person.” I said.

We were almost finish with our food (it was included with the whole venue thingy), when a violinist approached us and he started to play a sweet and romantic tune. “What’s with this?” I asked Zayn, pointing towards the violinist. “Dance with me.” he said and offered his hand. “I don’t know how to dance.” I admitted. “It’s alright.” Zayn insisted and I placed my hand on his, since I had no choice. I placed my arms around his neck and he did the same with my waist. The music was sweet and we were dancing perfectly, despite the face that I keep on stepping on Zayn’s shoes.

It was too PERFECT.

This was like a dream come true to me. Being slow danced with the person you have a huge crush on, it’s just too goddamn perfect.

I never want to end this.

EVER.

Zayn's P.O.V

Everything’s perfect according to what I wanted and dreamed of. She was too good to be true. I think this is the perfect time to tell her how I really feel. I sighed and she looked up at me. “Avery,” I started. “I like you, A LOT. “ I confessed. “This is no pretend, this is really how I feel towards you. You turned me on since the day I first laid my eyes on you. I like you because you’re you. You’re not like other girls who act desperate and trying hard to be beautiful. You’re very special to me and that’s the truth. It’s okay if you’re not ready to give me an answer, but I’m willing to wait. I am irrevocably in love with you.” I admitted.

“I’m in love with you too, Zayn.”

Those words slipped out of her mouth. I stood still, trying to register all the words she said. “You love me?” I asked since it was just unbelievable. She nodded and blushed. “So, that means… we’re… uhmmm… together?” I asked, silently praying her answer to be a yes. She stared out of nowhere and finally, our eyes met. “Yes.” she replied. I instantly smiled and hugged her tightly. “God, you don’t know how happy I am.” I whispered in her ear. I faced her, making our nose touch and our lips only a few centimeters away. “I love you, Malik”, she said and I did the next best thing. Totally the next best thing. I kissed her as if there was no tomorrow and she kissed me back. I bit her lip for entrance and she parted her lips.

This is really the sweetest bliss.

Avery’s P.O.V

I couldn’t believe it! I managed to say ‘I love you’ to him.

Do I really love him?

I think I do, since I already said it.

Yeah, maybe I am.

I just hope I’m not wrong with saying these words.

Louis’ P.O.V

“What’s taking those two so long?” Liam asked us. “Do you reckon that she already forgave him?” I asked and Niall looked at me in horror. “Is she stupid? Of course she wouldn’t do that.” he answered me. “She’s pretty mad and upset, so I think she won’t be ready to forgive him.” Harry told us. “She would have gone crazy if she ever said ‘I love you’ to Zayn.” Liam added. “You’re right.” I agreed and continued on munching some carrot sticks.  “Saying ‘I love you’ to Zayn is pretty much next to impossible for her.” Niall said and joined me with my food. Then the door opened, revealing a Avery and Zayn walking hand-in-hand with each other. All four of us stopped dead and stared at them. “Hey guys.” Zayn greeted and lifted their intertwined hands.

“We’re together officially.”

Those words stabbed me in my heart and I was so hurt. We were so wrong about this two and we need to do something about this.
