Maybe It Was Fate

Chapter 26 - New Years Love

Chapter 26

Zayn

Today is December 31 and we just arrived in New York for the New Year's Eve show in Time Square. It's quite an honor to have been invited to sing at the New Years Eve show. It had been a dream of ours to do it since our first show in the states. We were so excited when we got the call and of course the girls were as well. All they could talk about was going back to Time Square. Even Sylvia's coming. We are the last performance before the ball drops. 

We've just been ushered into a black limousine. We accommodate ourselves leaving me next to Nova. Which isn't bad it's just we've been avoiding each other since the fight. This is the closest I've been to her since that day. I can tell she's tired because her eyes are droopy. She looks at me for a second then her grey eyes close and she rests her head on my shoulder. I instantly stiffen surprised. I relax after I hear her sigh happily. A strand of hair falls on her face and I hesitantly move it and place it behind her ear. She snuggles closer to me and I smile looking at her beautiful face. My heart aches at the thought that this probably won't happen again. I look up to find Nikola staring at me. She smiles and nods. I place my head on top of Nova's and close my eyes. 

I open my eyes after a while and notice we're arriving at our hotel. We are only here to check in and leave the girls because we have to go rehearse our performance on the stage. 

"We're here." Paul says from the front of the limousine. 

I look at a sleeping Nova and I hate having to wake her up. I wish we could stay like this. "Nova love, we're here. Time to wake up darling." I touch her face and caress her cheek. She sighs and opens her eyes blinking a few times. She looks up at me and smiles then she sits up suddenly. 

She fixes her hair and beanie and avoids looking at me. "Thanks." She mumbles and gets out of the car. 

I sigh running my hand through my hair and slump in my seat. The lads look at me sympathetically and I just turn away and get out of the car. 

When we're all out of the limousine we head inside to check in. We'll Paul checks in for us but still. 

We sit in the lobby and Nova is far from me as possible. "So what are you girls going to do while we rehearse?" Liam asks. 

The girls look at each other and smile. "We are going shopping of course!" Nikola says likes its the most obvious thing in the world. 

Niall laughs. "Of course you are." 

"While you girls shop we will be working our arses off." Harry says looking at Reina who's sitting next to me. She gives him a small smile. His smile falters before firmly reappearing. Things between those two are still strained. Reina already forgave him but they aren't the same. I guess it will be awhile

before that happens. 

The girls laugh. "Oh you poor boys who have to suffer being internationally famous pop stars." Nova says sarcastically. 

"Yes its awful but c'est la vie." Louis says mockingly smiling at Karina. She shakes her head and chuckles. 

"That reminds me, Veronica is meeting us here." Cleo informs us. 

"Oh yeah, she told me yesterday. Today is going to be so fun." Karina says just as Paul, Sophia and Sylvia appear. 

"Come on lads time to go. Your things will be taken up to your rooms." Paul informs us indicating for us to move with his head. 

Louis and Kari kiss goodbye as do Liam, Cleo, Niall and Nik. Harry walks to Rei and she gives him a kiss on the cheek. He sighs but smiles back weakly. I look at Nova and I catch her looking at me too before she turns away. The lads and I head to the limousine and get in.
