Animals, Leather Jackets And A Mysterious Mystery (Zarry)

Chapter 15

*Zayn' POV*

That night we decided to stay together. Doniya, Whaliya and Safaa joined in the party.  Being together made us grateful for what we had together, being the best of friends, our own little family and hopefully I would get a boyfriend out of this. I knew this wasn't the moment to talk about it though. The bigger picture was more important. Us being all together, in one piece and still alive.

Whenever I looked around I saw happy faces, their smiles reaching their eyes. Everyone was cuddling someone, lying against someone to use them as a pillow and the ones playing the pillow were using the other ones as blankets. Niall and Louis were cuddled into each other with Safaa and Doniya sprawled out on top of them. The four of them had become really close and Doniya had, earlier tonight, whispered into my ear how she wanted the two of them, Niall and Louis, to be together already. I don't think anyone could disagree on that.

Liam was sitting in the corner of the biggest couch with Whaliya who was using Li as a bouncing castle. He didn't seem to mind because his laugh got harder and harder until he tackled her on the couch and started tickling her. My sister tried to get from underneath him but was failing miserably. Thankfully Safaa saved her by grabbing Niall with her who both just landed on Liam and squashed him. When Safaa, Niall and Liam finally got on their feet again, Whaliya stood up with the reddest face I had ever seen and was grasping dramatically for her longs pretending to faint by lack of air. She should become an actress.

The boy next to me smiled at the antics of our friends and my sisters. His eyes sparkled, his curls bounced whenever he would throw his head back of laughter, his grip on me only got stronger whenever he thought his arms were slipping away from me and I pressed myself closer to him whenever I couldn't feel him close to me. I just had to feel him, even if it was just this shoulder or his knee next to mine. I was so happy to still have him and I just knew this would be the beginning for us. The unclear part was when it would actually begin, but I had waited for so long now, that I could wait some more.

When the girls finally fell asleep we kept on talking in hushed voices. We talked about everything including Liam's little crush. Turned out it wasn't that little anymore and he really wanted to get to know her, but he was too nervous to go talk to her. We made up a plan so Liam could finally meet his girl who he figured out named Lotte. Every detail was planned out. All of us went to bed, excited for the next day.

The next morning I woke up next to Harry, I was curled up against his chest and he had his arms protectively around me. My head was in the crook of his neck and my lips caressed his collarbone. I pressed a small kiss on it and he shifted in his sleep, a small smile forming on his lips. It felt like he just knew it was me in his sleep and it comforted me that I could make him smile whenever he was awake or asleep. Lying here I just knew I would never let him go and that I would wait for him, always. Even if he would find someone else to love, I would wait in the wings for Harry, I would always wait for him. He stirred and opened his eyes slowly, smiling lazy at me.

"Hi", he whispered and pecked me softly on the lips.

"Hello", I said and kissed his nose.

We heard some shifting behind us and turned to the sound. Niall had put himself closer to Louis and both of them were drawing closer to each other in their sleep. They entangled their legs and they were holding hands, heads close together. Both of us had to keep ourselves from cooing. We were glad our friends were both in love, although they would not admit it. So maybe after we get Liam to meet Lotte, we can find a plan to get those two together.

* A few hours later*

We were all up and had breakfast together. The boys started work and I visited the animals keeping my eyes open for Lotte. Liam had given a very detailed description, so we hoped that we would find the right girl if she even showed up today.
