Better Than Words (Book 2)

Chapter 26

The balloons that were on the ceiling fell to the ground. The room fills with smiles and positive energy.

Wrapping my arms around Zayn's neck, I laid my forehead on his and smile as the first slow song of the new year plays. Like I'm Gonna Loose You by Meghan Trainor ft. John Legend.

This is my favorite song! I always sing along to this song whenever it comes it comes on the radio, I know word for word. Don't believe me? Ask Zayn he'll tell you.

We danced until the song was over. I walk over to one of the open couches and threw myself on the couch.

"C'mere, I want a alone time with you again," Zayn says holding out his hand.

"Gahh," I groan. "Don't. Want. To. Get up,"

"You can do it," He laughs.

"No," I pout sarcastically.

He turns around and let's me jump on his back. Zayn then carries me upstairs and into the same room and lays me down on the bed.

"Did I tell you how much I love you?" He asks and showered me with kisses.

"Plenty of times. Hun, how much did you drink?" I laugh.

He looks at me and tilts his head. "Only 2 beers, why?"

"I'm just wondering because you're starting to wobble. I think 2 is enough for now it's water and or pop, okay?" I sat up and look at him.

"I wasn't planning too, trying to stay sober so I'd be able to drive both of us home," He looks down at my hand and takes it into his.

"Why can't I drive?" I ask putting out my bottom lip.

"'Cause I know you too well, you get tired when we go out and stay somewhere until this time around.  I want you to sleep a bit," He smiles and wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close to him as I put my legs around his waist with My head on his shoulder.

"Tired?" He asks kissing my head.

I nod, "Yeah,"

Zayn laughs. "See what I mean?"

I smile and nod my head. He tried to get up but I refused to let go so he pries my legs a part and carries me bridal style out of the room.

"Emma is exhausted so we're gonna head home," Zayn yells over the blaring music to the boys.

"Night Love," They all say in unison and gives me hugs and a kiss on the cheek.

"Night guys, and stay sober...ahem..Niall," I say groggy with my eyes closed.

"What? I-" he sighs, "Okay Ems."

Zayn takes my high heel straps on his fingers and lays my gently into the car that Harry politely warmed up and drove up to the house.

"Night Hun," Harry says as I was laid in the lowered seat.

~~

I woke up in our bed and read the time 8:43am, four more hours until we get the girls.

I roll over and propped myself up with my elbow and leaned over and kiss Zayn's cheek, "Wake up sleepy head,"

He smiles with his eyes still closed and rolls over and opens his eyes, "Morning beautiful,"

"Mornin'," I get up and grabbed a pair of sweats and a blue t-shirt before heading to the bathroom to get change.

I go downstairs and turn the radio on and up. Hello by Adele came on just in time for Zayn to come down.

I smile and turned the radio down a little, Zayn combs his hair and sighs, "How long are you gonna keep trying to hit those notes?"

"Until I give up," I say picking up paper from the coffee table.

Just then the part I needed to work on came, I set things down and sang. "Hello from the other side! I must've called a thousand times,"

I failed.

"Oh I see what you're doing. I know this song is hard, it takes a lot of breath support," He walks over from behind and puts his hand on my stomach, "start focusing on your stomach not your lungs, this is one thing that's causing you not to achieve your goal. Also, when you watched her music video did you see how she dropped her jaw?"

I nod, "Yeah,"

"Try that. It'll take time to work your way through, do not rush it," He says going into the kitchen and opening the refrigerator.

"Wow, never knew something like that would turn into a lesson," I chuckle sitting myself down On top of the counter.l, "want me to make breakfast or do you want too?"

"I'd love too, you could use a little break from cooking," He says walking over to the bottom cupboard and grabbed a frying pan. "Would you like some scrambled eggs?"

I nod before jumping of the counter top and heading to the couch in the living room. Shivers ran up my spine as I laid my feet on the cold coffee table and touched the remote. I grabbed the nearest blanket and draped it over me while grabbing a pair of my fuzzy socks that happens to be next to the couch.

I have no idea why I just got this random train of thought but what happened to Jason? We haven't seen him in a few months after that clip of him on the security cameras. Did he move on? Boy I hope so, it's been like 5 years and all the sudden he wants me back when he should've known I was married to Zayn. All I just don't understand is why he is targeting my family like I did something to him, I'm yes I did break up with him...well my best friend did...but I did it for a reason. He abused me.

I snapped out from my train of thought with I heard a little shouting pain from the kitchen. "Babe you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I just burnt myself on the stove," he calls from the kitchen.

"Wonder why I cook." I laugh to myself.

After we picked up the girls from my parents few hours later we went back home and watched Spongebob Squarepants with some pretzels and apple juice.

Sorry for the bad ending and bad writing in all of my books. Trying my best to be better.

Anyway I'm not sure how many chapter this book will have left, 9? 6? 5? Idk. No one reads my books any more because of my poor writing so can I get some shout outs maybe? And please have more reads, votes and comments.

I'm planning on writing another book of this series but it'll be the last one...although I do have 3 story drafts. One of them might not be published...
