Operation: Love (Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Chapter 14

“You pulled away?? YOU PULLED AWAY?” Megan shouted in my ears, hoping to get me out of zone and plant some message in my head. She has been shouting in my ears the whole time I was telling her what happened when she left Zayn and I alone in the room. Either she was shrieking with excitement or yelling at me for pulling away did some serious damage in my ears. Now I’m wondering if our room is sound proof because the moment she let out her first scream, I do know that people might have heard her from way outside the dorm. And you know how school gossip goes around so fast.

But then again, knowing Lexi was involved, there was a part of me that felt like she may have already executed something for me to find out in the coming days. Come on, classes resume in an hour and quite honestly, I’m not excited to see her. Whether Zayn is around or not, this is something I’m not looking forward to, especially that class of Mr. West.

My thoughts popped out just like a bubble being poked on the sides as Megan threw a pillow at me. “Hey!” I called her attention as to why she did that.

“Omg, you’re already dreaming of Zayn!” She squealed. Yes, I have been dreaming, but even in my dreams, it didn’t end in a happy ending. It was worst.

I already knew what was going to happen, whether I like it or not. It’s like I’m waiting for that day to pay for my sins.

Drama queen. Yep, I know which is why I’m wondering what Zayn sees in me.

“It’s not what he sees in you. It’s what he feels with you.” Megan uttered, and I just realized I was talking loudly. Sometimes, I wish I just could keep my mouth shut.

“But Lexi…”

“…And Zayn are over.” Megan finished the sentence for me. Though, that’s not what I had in mind. Sure, they broke up but let’s not forget the fact that Lexi still studies in the same school and this will be a long year. Correction, a living hell.

“He kissed you which only mean he feels something there. Come on, how many times do I have to tell you that I know you, and I do feel that the feeling between you two is mutual?” She sighed, almost to the point of banging my head to the wall to wake me up and welcome all the love I was getting from Zayn.

This feels like a dream. Just a dream.

Though, it’s not that I was dreaming of being with him, but generally, I didn’t think it would even happen in my life. I never assumed Zayn could feel that way towards me and you can’t blame me for not believing him that it was real considering the fact of how we started up knowing each other.

However, it is a dream in which I wanted to wake up and not continue it. Thinking of what Cole had said this weekend about him is stopping me from anything to do with it. I know Cole, and he wouldn’t have said that if there wasn’t anything on his mind. He’s like a brother to me as well, protecting me from any harm.

He’s right though. He is Zayn Malik. A guy who can have any girl he wants, but why would he pick someone like me? Someone he didn’t like from the start?

It is intriguing, to be honest, like there’s something they’re hiding away from me. Except, I do not know which one of them is hiding something, or maybe they’re all working together.

Cole wants me to move on from Cody, but he doesn’t think Zayn would be the best one to replace his brother. I know, maybe he’s just…

“In love with you?” Megan uttered as if she knew what I was thinking. Actually, I think she has an idea when she saw how I reacted, almost as if she was a mind reader, a psychic, or just some high tech stalker.

Eww. No. That’s totally disgusting. It’s like me being in a romantic relationship with a puppy. “Tell me you’re kidding.”  I think I want to vomit. Don’t get me wrong though. Cole looks amazing, but he and I dating would be like incest and that’s totally wrong, in my opinion.
