Black

Chapter 24

After the movie marathon ended, and after Zayn played all his boyish movies Sach did not agree on, and after the endless cuddle, It was nighttime. The sky turned black and the stars shined as bright as his golden eyes. It was around 11pm.

"Zayn?" Sach sat properly as the names of the movie cast appeared.

"mmmmm?"

"Are we gonna go back to my house tonight?" she asked.

"Do you want to?"

"I can't sleep anywhere beside my bed."

"Sure." He nodded. "Do you want to go now?"

"Please."

Zayn thrust himself off the couch. Walking to the front door to grab his coat and keys. He looked over at his soon-to-be girlfriend and noticed her bare arms.

"Wouldn't you need a jacket? It's freezing outside." He said

"Well, I didn't bring any"

"Hold on I'll find you one." Zayn ran to his messy bedroom as Sach followed him. He walked in and tried to find something would keep her warm. He searched in the piles on the floor and bed until he found a coat that no longer fits on him. Much smaller which would fit into her small frame perfectly.

"Don't worry it's clean." He grinned handing it to her.

"even if it's not, do I have another choice?"

They smiled genuinely for few seconds at each other and walked out of the flat.

"Jeeeeeeez, that is freezing!" Sach commented as she blew hot air on her numbed palms.

"It's always that cold at this time of the year." He said, as he started the car and drove away.

"and… Here we are." He announced few minutes later as they were at her doorstep.

Zayn opened his door and raced to her side, opening the door for her like the gentleman he is. He helped her slid down the big car and closed the door behind her.

He, then, reached for her hand and held it. fingers intertwined.

"Warmer?" He said softly as he titled his head a little.

She nodded, smiling.

Sach unlocked the door and swung the door open for her and Zayn, she flicks the lights on and walk over to the fireplace, turning it on. keep herself as warm as possible.

She pats the spot next to her on the wooden floor for Zayn who's standing away. "Not cold?"

He shook his head. "Little hungry, Do you want something to eat?"

She bits her lips getting up from her cozy sit, "I'll just get some fruits."

Zayn remembered her problems with food and calories. Feeling helpless, he nodded following her to the kitchen.

He slipped into the chair watching her searching for low calories items. Seconds later, her head left the fridge as she grabbed a bowl full of grapes and strawberries. And another fruit plate. She placed them in front of his sight as she stretched out to grab two forks.

She held her fork and went for the brightest strawberry before Zayn picked it up. She giggles, looking up to him.

"There was plenty and you took mine?" She knot her eyebrows.

"Take another one." He teased

"No," She protested.

He rolled his eyes, and flashed her a sly smile. "Take it then."

She tried to reach for it from across the table but her short arms let her down. She sighs.

"Do you really, really want it?" He asks.

"Well, yes!"

"You'll have to kiss me then," He smirks.

She rolls her eyes. "Seriously, Malik? Just give it to me"

He shook his head.

Sach groaned out loud, throwing her head back in frustration. "Fine. Alright." She jumped off her seat and walked to his, He leaned back into his seat, smirk never leaving his lips.

"You know what they say?" He said.

"What?" She replied trying to grab her dear fruit from his hand, which became more of a challenge then anything.

"They say, Sharing is caring." He smiled wide as he placed the strawberry between his lips, "Do you care enough?"

Sach giggled as she leaned in. She cubed Zayn's face, kissing and biting on.

Zayn pulled her on top of him, letting her sit on his lap.

 "I like that." She laughed.

"Would you like me to feed you like that, my little bird?" Zayn joked.

She laughed again, nodding.

After finishing up the plates, and after the sloppy kisses. It was time to sleep.

"remember what you said." Sach warned. Pulling her hair up in a bun. She wore her pajamas already and took off the makeup, got ready for bed.

"What did I say?" Zayn grinned sheepishly.

"About sleeping in the couch." She raised one eyebrow.

"How can I forget?" He smiled as his hands made their ways to her legs, quickly picking her up in bridal style. She screamed as he loudly laughed. Thinking what she was doing was adorable.

He ran up the stairs and span around a lot. Which made Sach only hug his neck tighter and hold into him more. Exactly what he wanted.

Hegently placed her on the middle of the bed, sliding her under the covers. He leaned in little down, "No goodnight kisses?" He pointed to his cheek. She laughed and pressed her lips to his warm cheek. He smiled and stood straight up to leave.

"Zayn?" She cooed before he closed the door.

"Yes?"

"You can stay with me if you want." She  quietly said.

He smiled wide and nodded, peeling his jeans and taking off his loose sweater and joining her. He sneaked on arm under Sach, pulling her closer to him. "I'm glad you want me." He whispered as she buried his head into his chest.
