Dangerously Seductive (a Zayn Malik fanfiction).

Chapter 25

**A/N: so I just wanted to let you guys know that I suck and I'm incredibly sorry for the long periods of time between chapters! I'm incredibly busy!

---------------------------

Though the confession of our love was anticlimactic it meant more to me than anything. I always imagined me accidentally shouting the words in a desperate attempt to calm Zayn, but instead it was him revealing the emotion to me. For once I felt as if the attachment I had on him was shared equally between us.
We were connected in the most intimate of ways emotionally and physically. usually a lovely combination, but in our case being so close to eachother was deadly. We needed eachother and sometimes the constant yearn to keep eachother safe led to dangerous outcomes, one being the ongoing hunt for Zayn's enemies. It's seems his persistants about protecting me has drove him to seek out people who could harm us. Though I know I'm not innocent in that either, I would do many things for Zayn no matter how drastic.

"I will be ok." Zayn assures me as I sit on the bench near the window, deep in my sea of thoughts. I hadn't even realized the depths I had dove into my own little world until Zayn finally spoke.

"What if your not. what if this ends badly. I will be crushed if anything happens to you, regardless of how selfish it sounds it's true. As embarrassing as it is to say aloud, I don't think I could live without you..." I say in the quietest of whispers, still peering out the broad window. The clouded fall sky gives the fading green trees an ominous feel, the winter approaching quicker than usual.

"You'll never have to."
My eyes glance up to meet his intense golden glare.

"Come back to me Zayn, come back to me and show me you are ok. Show me this is all over."

"If someone comes to the door don't answer. And if I don't..."
A knot forms in my throat as he ignored my pleads.
"If I don't come back by tomorrow, call Liam. If he doesn't answer go home with your mum and don't worry about a thing."
His palm rest on my cheek, a sincerity in his voice that I can only recognize as adoration and regret. Regret for what, I don't know.

"Come back to me Zayn. Show me your ok and come back to me." I say again a single tear falling down my face.

"I love you baby, so much." he whispers. It feels like a goodbye, and that scares me.
Without another word to be said he turned on his feet and left. Leaving me with the fear of no return. Caleb was dangerous and he knows it. The 'I love you' that so easily slipped from his lips, now feels so long ago. I'm almost convinced he announced his love in fear that he would have no other chance after today.
I try my best not to think of Zayn being permanently removed from my world, but I can't help it. I worry that the the first I love you shared between us could be our last.

**ZAYNS POV**

"We go in and do what we have to. no regret no worry." I say with an emotionless expression.
Me and Liam rode together to find Caleb. The epic battle about to occur was bound to happen and I figured it rather be sooner than later. The mans psychotic obsession with having control over someone ends today. If he wants a battle I will give it to him and win.. For Juliet.

"Did you... say goodbye" Liam hesitantly questions. I think we're both aware that the amount of men in there is no match for the two of us, and the false confidence we put it off is just that, false.

"Yes." is all I say before hastily leaving the car.
The walk into the seemingly abandoned building seemed to be in slow motion.
We both walk at a cautious pace, heading straight towards the back where we know he'll be.
Just as suspected his men, so similar to us, young, naive, angry, were all milling around.

"Well well well, look who's here." An all to familiar voice rang out. Groups of men are sat around the house, none expecting what's to come. They all think were here for another job, still under Caleb's rules.

"Listen I'm done with your shit! We did our job, we gave you the money and now were done!" I shout without a pause. I figured I should just get right into it.

"Woah, gentlemen please have a seat first."

"Caleb cut your shit, you know our job is done. stay away from our families, from us, and from any one close to us. Were sick of your fucked up ways." Liam jumps in.
The anger is growing inside of him as we deny him what he wants.

"Listen here you two ungrateful bastards! I gave you a place to go, food to eat, and money to spend when noone gave two shits about you! you will do whatever the fuck I say, whenever the fuck I say it!"

"No you listen you lazy son of a bitch! I gave you what you wanted now were done. This is over. Come near me or Juliet ever again and I will be back here to wrap my hands around your greasy worthless neck." I spit, my fists clenched so tight they've turned white.
Caleb's men, my "co-workers", begin to gather around, all ready to fight for him if need be. I know they don't want to, but just like me and Liam they owe everything to him.

"Listen here pretty boy, I'll make a deal with you. I'll let you and your little pal here go no more jobs to do for me ever again, but I want that little bird of yours. Juliet, sweet sweet Juliet. I bet she really isn't that innocent, I bet she's a right good fuck isn't she." The mention of her name coming from his mouth sets me over the edge. My anger perceives me and I lunge at him. My fist collides into his face, the blows breaking his nose. You could hear the crack of his bones on impact, the blood rushing without stop.
Heavy arms pull me back, the group of men standing by watching as I beat the man we all severely fear.

"If it's a fight you want them I'll give it you. the prize is your bitch."
I cringe at his words.

"Never."

"Listen pretty boy you have till
Next Wednesday. We'll meet up at the wear house, and your opponent will be there."
I should've known he'd be to cowardly to fight me himself.

"Deal."

"Zayn what are doing. what if you lose? Juliet will fall down with you." Liam jumps in.

"I said deal. Now lets go."
My anger controls my words at times and this was probably not the best time to let that happen.
