The Love That Kills | Z.M | (On Hold)

Chapter XV

Nicole's P.O.V.

"What did you just say?" I ask, pain from my side shooting through my body. I reach down to somehow heal myself with just my hand,but nothing changes. Just pain.

"I said I'm sorry..." He seems confused as to why I asked what I did.

"You called me Nic.." I try to stand to my feet. I'm almost halfway up when my side sent another shock wave of pain go through me. My body nearly collapses, but Zayn's arms are around me and I find myself on my feet.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to offend you, I just thought I could call you something other than Nicole." He quickly pats some dirt off my bum and I lightly jump.

"Thanks." He nods. "Why wouldn't you want to call me Nicole, that's my name isn't it?" My tone completely different from what it was 2 seconds ago.

"It is, but.." He begins.

"No, you can call me Nicole or Jesse, when necessary." I interrupt with more of an attitude than expected. I look down at my dress and use my hands to try and wipe out the apparent creases in it.

"I'm sorry.." He looks down, his voice soft and my attitude toward him changes to sympathy. He just helped me up off the ground and stopped me from falling back down again.

"It's fine... I just get a little sensitive when someone calls me that." He looks back up at me with a raised eyebrow.

"A little?" His tone full of sarcasm. I can't help, but laugh a little and look down at my feet.

"Maybe a little more than a little?" I peek up at him with an innocent smile and this time he laughs.

"I understand... Do you mind me asking why you don't want people to call you Nic... I mean... that?"

"Well, my dad use to call me that when he was around... and every time he would, he'd make the most silliest face and I would laugh and he would join me and..." My mind goes to all the memories I have of those moments and I lose track of what I'm saying. Zayn has a smile on his face, to match mine, as he walks over to me.

"I won't ask anything about your father, but I won't make you think of those gracious yet sad memories." He takes my hands in his.

He's right. He's 100 percent right. Those memories make me so happy, but thinking about what I can't have anymore kills me. I can't believe he understands me, or at least the situation that I have with my father. It makes me wonder if his father died as well. I want to ask, but now isn't the time.

I smile and kiss his cheek.

"Thanks." I say. He grins back and nods.

"Still up for that surprise?" He asks with the same grin and I nod.

"Yes!"

"Alright, put your shoes on." He directs and I let go of his hands to put my black pumps on. As I'm standing by the front door, waiting on Zayn, I quickly check my hair and makeup in a nearby mirror on the wall. I push my hair out of my face and see Zayn walk up behind me. I can't help, but smile as his hands find my waist.

"You look beautiful." He whispers in my ear. I lightly giggle and turn to look at him.

"And you look handsome." My hands move to the collar of his white shirt, my fingers fixing the collar. He laughs as I do so. "It's like you /are/ my wife." He jokes.

"Aren't I? Mr. Jacovi.." I joke back and open the door, walking out. I hear the door close behind me and I turn to see Zayn by the door putting his black coat on. I mentally smack myself for not grabbing a coat, nonetheless a jacket! All I have is my dress and a purse. I may be an assassin, but as you can see, I don't use my head for the more obvious things.

I wait for him to catch up to me. Once he does he is almost out of breath from jogging down the hall to me.

"You alright there?" I giggle. He glares playfully at me as we enter the elevator.

"Yes, Mrs. Jacovi." He answers. I continue to laugh as we exit the hotel with linked arms.

I don't know where Zayn and I stand. Yes, we slept together, but that doesn't mean we have a relationship. Not yet at least.

As we wait for the valet to bring the car around, I begin to grow curious.

"Will you tell me where we're going?" I ask, lightly bouncing like an anxious child would. He looks at me with a grin on his face.

"It's a surprise."

"I don't like surprises." I lie. I really want to know where this guy is taking me!

"Well you better start to like them." He says as the car appears and Zayn is given the keys.

Once I'm in, I look at my phone. My work phone, the one I could call my uncle and vice versa. I check to see if he has tried to get ahold of me, but the screen is blank. Nothing. I sigh and put the phone away. I look up and we're already out of the city.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"You're annoying." He teases.

"Well you not telling me where we're going is annoying." I shoot back with a grin. I hear him lightly giggle as we turn the corner. It's a warming sound. You can hear a slight hiss when he laughs. He likes to place his tongue behind his teeth. I mean... I just noticed that. Psh, I haven't been watching him and everything he does.

Just some things.

It may seem like I'm becoming a little creeper, but they're something about him that intrigues me. He's very handsome and different then many guys. Maybe its the fact that him and I go through similar things with our jobs. The thing is, to some people, I'm the bad guy. For Zayn, he's the good guy, no matter what. I really want to know more about him though. Like how did he start to work for the C.I.A. or what kind of person was he like growing up.

I've never told anyone about my childhood, some don't even know my real name. My uncle is the only human being who knows everything about me.

My thoughts are interrupted by Zayns' words.

"We're here.."

I look up and what's staright ahead makes my eyes go wide and bottom jaw drop.
