Talking To The Moon [z.m.]

4: Nothing Like Us

Faith and I stayed quiet for the rest of the time. She didn't have anything else to say and I was trying to calm myself because of the words she had just spoken.

There was no way in hell I was going to give up on her and my son. They were my top priority now and I was going to prove it to her.

She had gone to take a shower and I was here trying to figure things out.

My thoughts were cut off when there was a knock on the door. I got off from my spot on the couch and walked over to see my old pal Louis.

He looked so different. His hair was shorter and no longer a quiff, it was more ruffled than before. He had a beard now and he didn't dress as ridiculous as before. He actually looked more manly.

"Zayn." He grinned and gave me a man hug. "You're back."

"You can't get rid of me anymore, Tommo," I patted his back.

"Wouldn't want to." He replied.

We walked over to the couch and sat across from each other.

"So, how's it been to be back?" He asked.

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Kind of complicated. She won't let me be with her if I want to raise our son with her."

"She already told you?" He looked surprised.

I nodded, not sure why he was surprised by it. "Yeah, the first night I got here. Why? Was she not going to tell me?"

He shrugged. "Not sure mate, I just didn't think she'd tell you right away. I thought she was going to wait a while, but guess not."

I bit my lip and nodded.

"How come she doesn't want to be with you?" He asked.

"She thinks I'll be a distraction to her.

She said she only wants to focus on Alex and being with me, won't help."

"Do you think it'll happen?"

"I don't know." I honestly didn't.

"Well, Faith has changed a lot ever since you left." Louis commented.

"Yeah, I can tell."

"She's matured a lot."

Before I could say anything, I was stopped by Faith.

"You know if you guys were going to talk shit, it's better when I'm not here so I won't hear the shit you two are saying behind my back." She said, as she entered the living room wearing a magenta shirt and shorts.

She still had that body she had three years ago. I couldn't stop imagining her body above mine.

As if she had heard what I was thinking, Faith looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"It's nice to see you again, Love." Louis waved at her as if we hadn't just spoken about her moments ago.

Faith rolled her eyes and sat down next to me on the couch. "Louis."

I smiled at her but she didn't return it. What the fuck was up with her?

"I just came to check up on you-"

"You always do." She cut him off with crossed arms before leaving against the couch.

"You know it's for your and Alex's safety." He stated.

"I can take care of myself and Alex, thank you. I have been doing it for a while now by myself, without needing any help from anyone." She spoke as if I hadn't been there and she hadn't just dissed me but she did.
