Dangerously Seductive (a Zayn Malik fanfiction).

Chapter 20

Things had been intense since me and Zayn had sex. There was hardly a moment I didn't spend with him, not that I'm complaining. I found myself wanting his company more and more. The small amounts of time spent apart was time spent thinking of him or texting him. Small phone calls in between our brief moments of separation. We had become quite dependent on each others a company, though deep down I feared I was more dependent than him. I was nervous at the thought, that maybe I had become to attached and my constant need to feel his affection would scare him away.
The idea of me loving Zayn with no reciprocation of the feelings broke my heart. Really the idea of loving anyone scared me, but with Zayn it was heavy. I almost needed him to feel the same. But until the moment came that he shared the words, I wouldn't. And if he never did Im not quite sure what I would do.

"What are you thinking about?" Zayn's heavy accent broke me from my thoughts.

"You." I simply answered.

"Me?" His voice was rushed, a hint or worry in his tone.
I looked at him, my emerald orbs intently studying Zayn's face. My small hand reached up brushing over his long lashes, traveling to his cheeks, stopping briefly then continuing on to gently rub my thumb over his lips.
Zayn took hold of my hand, placing a gentle kiss on the back.
"Is everything ok love?"
There was that word. A word so used it hardly sounded personal, a nickname for many. I desperately yearned for him to use in a different context, for it to mean something so much more than what he meant just now.

"Everything's fine." I smiled locking my fingered with his.
His expression told me he was unconvinced, but no further questioning was made.

**ZAYNS POV**
Juliet seemed distant, not her normal perky self. Usually she was constantly talking, telling silly jokes or stories. But today she was quiet, always seeming to be in deep thought. I hoped that it wasnt because of me. I had been a bit overbearing latley, but I couldn't help it. There was never a time I didn't want to be with Juliet. She was becoming my whole world and everything else seemed less than important.
I knew that things were getting serious and I would have to tell her more about my whole Caleb situation, considering she was under the impression it's over. It was far from over. I did pay my debt, but jobs like this don't just stop. The longer I waited to tell her, the worse it was going to be, but I just couldn't look in her innocent eyes and admit my lie. I couldn't lose her, I couldn't lose the one person that means absolutely everything to me. She wasnt my typical one night stand, she flipped my world around and I couldn't even remember how I was before she came along. I was bitter and angry, mad at anything and everyone.

"Now who's in deep thought?" Juliet smiled nudging me slightly.

"I just zoned out there. but anyways do you want to see the bar today?" I asked pulling her into my lap. My body shielded hers, almost making it seem like she was small child in need of coddling.

"Am I finally being graced with the honor of witnessing it!?" She joked.

"Oh very funny." I sarcastically retorted, poking at her sides.
She dramatically squirmed in my touch letting out a loud laugh.

"No! No tickling! You know how I am when I get tickled!"

"Oh like this?" I smirked raising my hands up. Before I had a chance to get her she ran down the hall.
My feet quickly padded after hers, hot on her trail.

"Get away!" She laughed as I lifted her up with one arm, spinning us in circles.

"Sorry babe but your gonna get it!"
Her laughter rang out through the room, bringing a wide smile across my lips.
After a few moments I gentle tossed her on the bed, pulling myself on top if hero related to tickle her sides, giving her no room to flee. But I paused when I released just how close we were. My eyes took in the light sprinkle of freckles that ran across her cheeks, to the the way her springy curls never tamed but layed so perfectly down her back. And how her eyes shined when she smiled, making the irises a breathtaking shade of green. Every small detail about her was beautiful, perfect. I loved the way her body was so petite but healthy. She wasnt the skinniest but far from over weight. I was feeling thing for her I didn't know were possible.
Instead of the intended tickle war, I brought my lips down on hers, savoring the taste of her watermelon lips. The kiss was slow and patient, not our usual needy desperate kiss. The feeling of Juliet's fingers tangling in my hair sent a wave of comfort, me instantly deepening the kiss.
If it weren't for the obnoxious sound of the doorbell, I could have stayed like this all day.
