Reality [zayn a.u.]

8.

The car dropped me off, and I said goodbye to all of my siblings. I wheeled my suitcase to my dorm hall and then went up to my dorm room. I thought that Mallory would be in the room sleeping considering that it was about four in the morning. I opened the door and wheeled my suitcase in, but I stopped once I saw that my room was dimly lit by candles, and Zayn sitting on the edge of my bed with a bouquet of roses and Sour Patch Kids. He was wearing sweats and his hair was pulled back into a bun. He looked up at me with those honey eyes and I smiled and looked down at the ground. I shut the door behind me and walked up to Zayn who was now standing up with a crooked grin.

"Hey." He smiled.

I bit my lip and smiled back, "Hi."

A giggle left escaped from my mouth, as he handed me my favorite candy and roses.

"This is really sweet, thank you." I smiled.

I put the things that he got me on my bed and then I engulfed in him a hug. I inhaled his scent as we clung to each other since it was the first time that we saw each other in nine days. We just stood there in each other's arms, and I pecked the exposed part of his collarbone before we pulled away.

"I've missed you." Zayn whispered.

"I've missed you, too. I didn't think that you would be here waiting for me. It's four in the morning, Zayn." I said with a smile.

He nodded, "I'm well aware. Nine days was a long time, don't you think?"

I stood on my toes to give him a kiss on his cheek and he hummed in satisfaction.

"Mallory?" I questioned.

"Oh, she's with Harry." Zayn said briefly.

"At four o'clock in the morning?" I questioned.

Zayn chuckled, "She's with Harry."

I bit my lip and nodded in understanding. I wrapped my arms around his waist once again and hugged in. I just missed being near him, and now I wanted to be as close to him as possible.

Zayn and I eventually ended up on the tiny bed with our legs tangled together and my head on his chest. He was propped up on the headboard and we were playing with each other's fingers as we were catching up on how our week was.

"And then I did a Christmas shoot with Kylie and Kendall." I explained. "I didn't really have time to shop or anything, but it's okay because I still had fun at the shows and shoots and stuff."

Our weeks were completely different. All Zayn did was work on his demo, eat, class, and barely sleep. I went to my shows, fittings, and shoots.

"You haven't shaved, have you?" I asked him as I ran my fingers over his growing beard.

"Haven't had the time... you don't like it?" He questioned.

I shook my head, "I love it. I think it's hot."

He laughed as he kissed my forehead. We still haven't kissed since I have arrived. Which was okay with me, I just wanted to be in his presence.

"Well did you finish the demo, Zaynie?" I questioned.

"Almost, I have to fix something and then I should be done." Zayn explained. "Your dad said that I should get you to give it to me."

"Yeah, that's fine." I agreed.

We continued to talk till the wee hours of the morning. He never stopped holding me in his arms. The morning light began to shine through the window, and still haven't shut our eyes for a minute.

"So what do you think?" Zayn asked.

I looked up at him in confusion.

"About what?" I questioned.

He bit his lip and scratched his beard.

"Us. Do you want to try it?" Zayn asked.

"What will we do exactly if we do try this?" I asked with a smirk.

He chuckled, and we readjusted ourselves so that I was in between his legs with my legs cross while his legs were opened wide enough for me to fit through.

"Go on stupid, cheap dates because I'm still a broke college student." I chuckled at his words. "We can hold hands, stay in and watch movies, I can show you off to all my friends about how beautiful and amazing you are. I can make you laugh, all of the time. Buy you Sour Patch Kids and roses every day because I just want to remind you that I care. Kiss those pretty little lips of yours whenever you want..."

Our faces were centimeters a part. If one of us moved, we would be kissing. So we both just finished closing the space so that we could kiss. His lips were soft with the combination of his beard being rough on my chin. We pulled away slightly and he kissed my chin.

"Aren't you going to miss me when I'm away?" I asked.

"Always." He mumbled before pressing his lips to mine again.

He held me close to him as we kissed. There was absolutely nothing rough about his kissing. He was delicate with me as his fingers skimmed across my skin.

"Is that a yes?" Zayn asked.

I nodded my head before our lips connected once again. I ended up straddling his hips so that we could be closer. I just ran my hands through silky black hair that fell out of its ponytail. I could feel him smiling into the kiss as he ran his hands up and down my back.

The opening of the door snapped us from our kiss. Mallory came stumbling in with her converse in hand and her hair in a disheveled ponytail. She walked to her bed, took off her pants, and then laid across the bed. She threw her phone on the night stand and turned away.

"Please, don't stop on my account." Mallory said with a half smirk before turning over.

"Are you okay, Mallory?" I was concerned about my roommate.

She turned over and lifted her thumb up.

"Harry's a wild on, Bristol. He kept me going all night." Mallory chuckled softly before turning over away from us.

Zayn checked the time on his phone and frowned.

"I have class." He said sadly.

I pouted, too and got off of his lap. He got up after me and held my hand in is as he dragged me off the bed to stand up with me. He placed his shoes on then got back to my level. Once he got back to normal height, he placed his hands on my hips and pecked my lips.

"Dinner at that Chinese place off campus tonight?" He asked me.

I nodded my head, "Sounds good. I'll see you later."

He smiled before he walked out of the room.

Mallory groaned and I walked over to her side of the room and sat on the edge of the bed. I tried to keep myself from laughing at her expense, but she looked like such a mess.

"Are you going to class today?" I asked.

She groaned and turned over to look at me, "Bristol, does it look like I'm going to class today? I don't think I can get up after what happened last night."

I couldn't help but laugh. I skipped around and went into my drawer with all of my holistic remedy pills. I tossed the bottle on her bed and she looked at it.

"It works wonders, I swear. It helps the soreness. Take two of them now and two later." I explained.

She smiled, Thanks, Bristol."

I smiled before I grabbed my things and left her to be by herself as I took a needed shower. 

these really aren't long chapters, but they'll get longer!
