Chapter 20

"Alright Perrie, everything's looking good, the operation was a massive success. Now all that's left to do is for you to rest to allow your vocal chords to recuperate. You know what that means Perrie, no singing till next year, and don't try anything funny or you'll just mess things up." Doctor Williams updated me on my tonsils situation.

I had pestered him non stop five minutes before my operation commenced, pleading him to let it go smoothly or it could just end my career.

I heard my mum heave out a huge sigh of relief and I let out the breath I hadn't realize I had been holding the whole time. I guess I could cope with one month without performing, I would come back stronger than ever next year. Meanwhile I got to enjoy pre-Christmas laying in this lovely enjoyable hospital bed. Sense my sarcasm.

I groaned inwardly and asked my mum for my phone. "I'm all good:) xx" I sent to the girls and Zayn to inform them the operation went well.

"Awesome! Can't wait for you to be back performing, gotta run talk to you later! Love ya!" Jade's reply came almost instantly and the girls' messages came afterwards with similar message.

Zayn was probably busy, I forgotten which part of the world he was but I guess there was a time zone difference. It sucked, of course to not have him here with my while I went through this nerve wrecking process but I tried not to be a baby about it.

"Perrie I'm going to the cafeteria to get some food, would you like anything?" My mum asked me as she reached for her handbag.

"No mam, you look tired why don't you just go home after this? You've stayed long enough."

"Are you sure? I could stay the night if you needed me to."

"Mam, I'm not a kid anymore and did you actually think that I would have let you stay the night at the uncomfortable smelly boring hospital room? Of course not! Now shoo, go home and get some rest. I'll see you soon mam." I ordered.

"Alright Perrie take care of yourself. I will come back tomorrow." My mum told me as she leaned over to give me a peck on the cheek.

"Don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Oh, yes I forgot. I'll come afterwards then."

"Mam really you don't have to. I'm perfectly fine on my own. If you're worried you just have to drop me a text ok?"

"Fine, goodbye baba."

"Bye mam."

Zayn's POV

"Zayn stop pacing around already and concentrate! Put your phone aside for a moment you are glaring at it as if a bomb is going to go off soon. She'll text you when she's out mate!" Louis chided.

"I'm just worried, I wished I could have been there." I mumbled, feeling extremely annoyed. I hadn't wanted to text Debbie because I knew if Debbie reply and Perrie was still in operation, I would end up sending tons of messages every five minutes demanding updates on Perrie.

"After the X factor performance we can head home already, right now concentrate on looking good on the red carpet."

We were currently in America, getting ready to appear on the red carpet for the X factor USA finale, after which we would be doing a performance of kiss you. Niall of course, hasn't heard the end of our continuous teasing.

He was Demi Lovato's not so secret secret admirer, and I think the whole world knew that by now. I believe you can guess who was the most pumped to be performing tonight.

"We're here guys, you ready?" Paul called.

"Harry, lead the way." Liam gestured for Harry to step out of the car first and all of us followed closely behind. The screams as we stepped out of the car was deafening, something we still hadn't gotten used to after two and a half years.

We had a quick interview with the two host, Mario and Kourtney, I think that were their names, before we headed to our dressing rooms.

We had already gotten changed and the make up was applied before we arrived. Now all we had to do was wait for our turn, and we were watching the final two contestants through the television as they performed on stage.

I heard the ringtone I had set for Perrie blasted through the phone and I whipped it out from my pockets at ninja speed.

"I'm all good:) xx" the message read. "Phew" I thought as I read the message.

I had wanted to type in a quick reply but I got interrupted by the stage manager. "One Direction, you're up next!" I threw my phone into my bag and followed the boys backstage.

Right after we performed kiss you, I scurried off the stage and grab my stuff, eager to take the next flight home.

"Paul! I'm heading to the airport!" I grabbed everything that looks mine and dumped it into my bag, zipping it up and rushing off.

One of the bodyguards took off after me and we jumped into te car and sped off to the airport. "Please drive faster." I pleaded with the bodyguard even though he was probably driving too fast for comfort.

I decided not to text Perrie that I was coming home and sprang up on her as a surprise. I took a quick nap on the plane ride home to pass time because I wouldn't be able to contain my emotions for so many hours.

"Boo!" I literally shouted and I threw the ward door open. I was answered by silence and I realized Perrie was actually asleep, and she did not stir despite my grand entrance.

I tiptoed to her bedside knowing that there was no point because even if a gun shot was to go off, this little pig would still be soundly asleep.

I settled in a chair beside her and checked out her facial features, tracing invisible circles on her arm.


A couple of minutes later, she fidgeted and I waited for her eyes to open. "Hey." I greeted as she took in her surroundings.

"You're here." Her voice sounded so hoarse and muffled, because of the fact that she had just woken up. Still sexy though.

"Yeah and I'm staying here till you're discharged."

Perrie's POV

"What do you suggest we get for your mum and brother for their Christmas present?"

"Are we sharing?"

"We could, since I don't know what they would like."

"For my mum we could just get her a some fancy items for the kitchen, she's into baking recently. For Jonnie though, I was thinking that motorcycle he had his eye on since forever. I pranked him over a radio call that I almost got it for free but then you answered my phone when the motorcycle company called and they decided to give you the motorcycle instead. Needless to say he was so gutted. I wonder if it made him feel better to know it was just a prank and you didn't have the motorcycle in the end. Anyways I feel bad and I guess we could get that for him for Christmas. How about your mum and sisters?"

"For Waliyha, I was planning to get her a Samsung Galaxy phone, my mum told me she had wanted it. For Safaa we could just get some school supplies and a new school bag and for Doniya I was think the Chanel make up kit. As for my mum, her present would have to be slightly belated."

"Why?"

"As I was house hunting I came across a really nice looking mansion and I've asked around and checked out the location and thought it was suitable for my family. So I bought it down and it's currently going under renovation now. For Christmas I'll just have to get her something as a facade and then surprise her when the house is ready."

"You bought your mum a house for Christmas?!" I shrieked.

"Yeah why not since I had the money."

"Ooh someone's flaunting his money now isn't he? Who knew under all that bad boy appearance we had a little softie mama's boy?" I cooed.

"I'm not a mama's boy!"

"Just kidding."

"Right." He replied with a roll of his eyes. "Anyways I'll get our both families Christmas present settled and you just have to worry about getting better."

"You aren't going to let me pay anything are you?" I stated the already obvious.

"Nope." He replied popping the P.

I sighed, knowing that if I argued I would lose, but I did anyways. "You can't do that!"

"Oh yes I can."

"But it's my family too."

"And your family is my family."

"So? I wanna contribute for their Christmas presents."

"Fine you'll pay 10%"

"50%"

"20%"

"50%"

"25%"

"50%"

"It's not called bargaining if you keep insisting on 50%!" Zayn argued.

"It's not called sharing if you refuse to let me pay for half of the price!" I beamed to myself, proud with my comeback.

"Ugh." Zayn groaned, running his fingers through his hair. "30% the most I'm willing to compromise. Or else I'll just pay for the full thing."

"Fine, 30% and I'll get my individual present for them too."

"Then I'll get it too, simple!"

"But that's not fair because your present will always be better!"

"So surrender." He simply stated.

"Fine!" I huffed and crossed my arms irritatedly.

"Good. Anyways would you like to invite your mum over during the Christmas break? Our mums have yet to take a look at our new house."

"Without the siblings?"

"Without the siblings." He answered.

"Jonnie will flip!"

"We'll go over during the Christmas vacation then. We have to deliever that bad boy motorcycle personally anyways."

Christmas Day

"Merry Christmas babe." Zayn had greeted me the moment I woke up.

"Good morning to you too lovely. And Merry Christmas." I replied as I pushed myself off the bed.

"No Christmas kiss for me?" He asked cheekily.

"I've got to brush my teeth first babe. And I needa piss."

I heard him chuckle softly as I let the tap run. "You know what babe?" He called.

"Hmm?" My voice was muffled because of the toothbrush and toothpaste and I threw my head back slightly so I could peep at Zayn on the bed, who was leaning on one arm.

"It's Christmas, which mean we've probably spent a year together. Met a year ago and dated for almost a year."

I blinked in recognition and spat out the toothpaste. "Wow.. Time flies."

"It sure does." I heard him behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and I clutched my chest.

"When did you get in? You scared me."

"It's been an amazing one year. With our success and you, I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for sticking by me for a year of my bullshit."

"Well thanks for sticking by me when I'm all dramatic and sarcastic most of the time."

"Make that all the time." He threw in.

"Shut up!" I retorted and spun around, his hands still encircled around my waist, to give him a peck but the doorbell interrupted us.

He groaned loudly, obviously frustrated by the interruption. "Oh really?! Perfect timing."

"Tsk! It's probably our mums! They're here early in the morning so don't you complain!" I chided.

"Hello Perrie! Hello Zayn!" Our mums greeted when we opened the door. "Hey mum!" We both greeted back and passed hugs around.

"Wanna take a look at our house?" I suggested.

After we had toured the little castle, the four of us sat inthe huge living room, talking about basically everything we had missed in each others life.

Of course my mum and I left the living room when the conversations ended to do our own catching up and gave Zayn and his mum time to catch up.

"How's your tonsils Perrie?" My mum asked.

"It's fine, how have you been?"

"Good good. What did you get for your brother for Christmas?"

"Oh Zayn and I got him that motorcycle he's been crazy about."

"That motorcycle?! Doesn't it cost 10K or something?!"

"Yeah I quote Zayn 'I have the money anyways'"

My mum laughed. "Well that's really nice of him."

"Yeah."

A knock on our door caught our attention, and Trisha stepped in. "Hello, could I talk to Perrie for a second?"

"Yeah, I'll just go out and have a chat with Zayn." My mum got up and dusted her pants. The two mums shared a knowing look with each other as if they had planned this.

"Hi Perrie." Trisha greeted as my mum stepped out.

"Hi Trisha, you wanted to talk to me?"

"Just a chit chat."

"Oh ok." I said as she sat down on the bed beside me.

"It's really cute, that you two have settled in for each other. It takes your relationship to a whole new level."

"Yeah it does, but I guess it was time anyways."

"I'm glad you think so. I just wanted to tell you how happy I am that he is with you, and how grateful I am to you for sticking with him through so much. He's had a pretty crazy year, the last thing I remembered was dragging him out of bed at 4 in the morning for the X factor auditions and from then I saw him literally everywhere I went. It's crazy enough for me not to mention for him. I'm just really happy you are there for him and just makes things a little more, not so crazy for him."

"You don't have to thank me, he's done alot of me too."

"Good, now shall we head out?"

The four of us then set up a huge Christmas tree in the living room, even though all Zayn did was flip the channel of the television, very helpful.

After an hour and a half of hardwork, we were finally done. "Get a picture!" Zayn ordered. "Stand beside that crazy tree!" I did as instructed and he snapped away.

"I'm posting this on twitter." He informed me.

The four of us then went to the kitchen to cook up a scrumptious Christmas meal and gobbled our food down.

"Time to open the presents!" My mum announced as she clasped her hands excitedly.

"Mum this is for you, from Zayn and I." I handed the huge package of baking equipments to my mum.

"Mum this is for you, from Perrie and I. You have a later present which I'm unable to give you now, but this will do." I narrowed my eyes at Zayn, he hasn't shared his mum's present with me! That cheater!

I caught sight of the little box, it was as small as a jewelry ring box. It shouldn't be much to make me feel bad for not paying right? Wrong.

"You got me a car?" Trisha asked, and my eyes almost bulged out of the sockets.

"Yeah it's actually being delievered home right now, that's the keys. It's bigger and more convenient."

"Zayn you shouldn't have."

"Don't worry about it mum. Oh wait, Debbie, you have one too."

Thankfully I hadn't been drinking water then or I would have spat out everything. That cheeky little !?@&$ went to get our both mums a car each?!?

"Wow Zayn, Perrie, thank you." My mum was totally flabbergasted.

I cleared my throat. "Mum, Trisha, actually the car..."

"Was chosen by me. So if you don't like it it's my fault." Zayn cut me off and continued my sentence. If our mums weren't present I would have grabbed the nearest thing and threw it in his face.

I glared at him, he was convering a laugh with a cough.

"Don't worry about it I'm sure we will love it. But thank you so much the both of you." My mum replied.

"Mum this is Doniya, Waliyha and Safaa's presents. Could you bring it home to them? And be careful with it because they're fragile." Zayn told Trisha as he pushed all of his sisters present towards his mum.

"And Debbie, unfortunately Perrie and I would be able to make it to pass Jonnie his motorcycle personally, so could you pass the key to him and tell him we hope he likes it? And yes, and I've gotten him this signed skateboard, he'll know who signed it. Oh and I just threw in my signature." Now now now, that skateboard I knew nothing about too.

As our mums busied themselves in checking out the Christmas presents, I told our mums I had to grab something from our room and twisted Zayn's ear, beckoning him to follow.

"What the hell?!" I whispered harshly at him.

"Cmon Perrie you paid for the other stuff!"

"It's not fair!"

"It's only fair that the male pays for things."

"Oh so we're getting sexist now are we?"

"No." He rolled his eyes. "Have you noticed something?"

"Yes I've noticed that you've cheated and got our mums a car each! Both which I hadn't paid a single cent for!" I half yelled sarcastically.

"No not that." He rolled his eyes again and pointed to something above us. I glanced up and noticed it was a mistletoe. I felt all the anger I previously had in me dissipate. I suppressed the urge to let out an "aww" to ruin the moment. Instead I glanced down at my feet, trying to hide the small blush creeping to my face.

"You're blushing!" Zayn pointed out, half whispering.

"Shut up!" I lightly punched his arm.

"Merry Christmas Perrie." He wished me as he leaned in and captured his lips with mine. There I have it, my first kiss under a mistletoe, with the one and only Zayn Malik.

"I love you." I told him as I broke apart to fill my lungs with air.

"I love you more." He replied as he moved forward for a second kiss.

The end.
