PILLOWTALK- ZAYN
Maddie

I smile as I stare into the mirror at my appearance. A nice, tight black t-shirt, and my favorite black shorts, along with my black sneakers. My hair is down, my favorite way to wear it. I look over at the clock on my wall and see that it's almost seven o'clock.

Tonight I'm going over to Ty's house because I just want to hang out with him. He hasn't been to work in a few days because he's been helping Ashton move all of his stuff into a new apartment.

So it's really been like four or five days since I've seen or really talked to Ty.

I sigh and then grab my phone (a/n: yeah, a phone) and then turn off all of the lights in my apartment. I leave one in the living room on, just so I can see where I'm walking when I get back. I then grab a piece of gum and stick it in my mouth, and leave. I lock my door, then begin on my trek to Ty's apartment.

As I'm passing by the Chasm, I spit out the gum, and then continue walking. I like to chew gum briefly just so my breath is even fresher than when I just brush my teeth. I eventually arrive at Ty's hallway, and I smile, then turn and walk to the very back, to Ty's door.

I smile, then knock on the door. I wait a second, and then Ty answers the door. His expression is flat until his eyes meet mine. "Oh, hey Maddie!" He says happily. I smile.

"Hey Ty." I say quietly, and he leans forward and wraps his arms around me, taking me into a hug. I feel slightly faint when his face turns into my neck and I can feel him inhaling my scent, holding onto me tightly. It's not until now that I realize that his hair is slightly damp from a shower. I smile when I breathe in his scent and smell detergent and fruits.

His scent is and always has been something that I've associated with freedom, with an escape. Whether it's been from my father and his constant worrying, the people that are after me, it doesn't matter. He's been my escape and my safety, and I love him for it, I'm just a little afraid to tell him.

"It's been so long since I've seen you." He mumbles into my neck, then pulls away slowly and leads me into his apartment, kicking the door shut. We both move to sit down on his couch after I place a quick kiss to his plump lips, and I smile.

"I've missed you so much at work, Ty. Is Ashton done moving in?" I ask him slowly, then move close to him. He smiles and nods.

"Ashton's so lazy. Gosh, he made me move like all of his stuff. He was like, blah blah blah my foot hurts so I can't do anything." Ty rolls his eyes, then smiles. "I missed you, too. It's been days since I've even seen my other half." He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear, a soft smile on his face.

Holy shit, my inner self says, Did he really just call you his other half? Maybe that means he loves you. Well congrats, you finally made a guy stick around long enough to actually like you and love you.

I smile up at him, then move a little closer to him since there's still a large space between us, a loud silence. He grins, wrapping a hand around my waist. I sort of throw my legs over his as I move closer and closer... Then our lips press together. His lips part slowly as his tongue touches my lips, and I feel myself moving to straddle his lap. Fuck, Maddie. You're gonna fucking ruin this. Don't fucking do it. You can't be desperate.

I'm still not that great at this whole romance thing, especially since I've never been with a guy before the way I've been with Ty, so this is all new to me.
