To Build A Bridge z.m

Chapter 5

Valerie woke up feeling better than she did when she went to sleep. It could've been because she woke up with Zayn beside her or the knowledge that he tried to find her. She just decided it was because of Zayn. She tried to slip from his grasp, but he held on tight in his sleep. It made her smile knowing that Zayn didn't want to let her go. It was cute the way he'd hold onto her so tightly. Like she was the only thing keeping him grounded.

"Pretty Boy, let go." She murmured into Zayn's ear. Zayn pulled her closer to him with a smirk etched on his face. Valerie rolled her eyes. "I'll give you a kiss if you let go."

"That's not going to make me want to let go" Zayn said as he opened his eyes. She smirked.

"Of course not, but it'll make us both feel better. " Zayn just stared at the girl that hadn't really been toying with his emotions, but making him have them. Yesterday he was happy that she was around, today he was sad she thought so low of herself, and he was flat out pissed when he found out Liam had done it.

"Just being with you makes me feel better." He said to her

"Corny." She stated simply which made Zayn burst with laughter. "That wasn't even the slightest bit cheeky." She said while Zayn continued to laugh. She'd never heard anything so beautiful before. It was like a melodic  symphony to her ears. She could only smile fondly at him, and when he smiled at her she couldn't really function. So she didn't, she simply crawled away from him.

"C'mon Pretty Boy, let's go. It's depressing here."

"Where are we?"

"Well Pretty Boy, we're in London-"

"No, like whose flat." He inquired.

"Mine." Valerie stated.

"Then why did the girl at the front door say this was her room."

"Because it is."

"You do know this is a one bedroom flat right?" Valerie snickered.

"Yes, I know this."

"I'm confused." Zayn mumbled. Valerie smiled.

"And you will continue to be until I'm ready to tell you." She said with a smile as she motioned closer to the golden eyed lad. She motioned so close that she was straddling him, leaving kisses along his neck and jaw. This, she knew, would leave the boy discombobulated. And just like she knew, he was.

"Ok." He said breathlessly. Zayn had completely forgotten what they were talking about. He was to lost in the kisses that were being given and the vanilla scent the was invading his smell. He angled his neck to give her more access, and she simply smirked while attaching her lips to his neck, leaving love bites. Everywhere. She was almost done, when her sister broke in. A slight gasp broke the two of them apart.

"I knew you were a prostitute!" She exclaimed. Valerie glared at her.

"I will kill you, Jessica." She threatened. Zayn and Jessica didn't know whether to believe her or not. Jessica was shit scared, though. She'd known that Valerie has done some shady stuff in her past, so how bad would be killing her little half sister. Jessica did the smart move and made a joke out of it. "I was just kidding, Val, no need to get violent." A pillow was tossed at her face. She took the message. She left.

Valerie rolled off of Zayn, but kept close to him. They sat in an awkward silence for a moment. Zayn was really confused. Did her sister not know what Valerie did? How could you keep something like that from a curious teenager?

"So your sister....?" Zayn said.

"Half sister." She corrected.

"Half sister." Zayn repeated. Another awkward silence.
