Beside You [GML Book 2]

Chapter 4 - The Talk

Zayn POV

“Zayn! Zayn! Zayn!”

“What Kenya?”

“Fucking Harry and Marie are KISSING!” She pointed off to the side and my eyes slowly followed until I found them, by the bar, Harry had one hand cupping Marie’s cheek and the other gripped tightly on her waist. Marie looked a bit dazed but eventually wrapped her arms around Harry as well. They moved in sync with each other.

“Oi Niall! Look at those two! You leave them alone for two seconds and they’re snogging each other’s faces off… IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANCE FLOOR!”

Niall laughed at first but then his smile turned into a slight grimace.

“It’s a bit gross mate, it’s like… watching my brother snog my sister… bleh” he shuddered

The three of us stood there watching for a while before we started feeling like creeps. I grabbed Kenya by the waist and pulled her onto the dance just as soon as our favorite song started to play…

Marie POV

After I left the party I ran back to my apartment and threw on a pair of sweat pants and a white t-shirt. My mind wouldn’t rest; it just kept replaying the kiss over and over again. The way his lips molded to mine, the way his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me into him. The way I moaned as he flicked his tongue across my bottom lip, the way my cheeks flushed after he pulled away.

I’m so confused; I don’t know what to do. I love Harry… I admit it I do but, I need to give Chris and my relationship a fair shot, he deserves that. I haven’t been fair to either of them really, I keep hurting Chris and when I’m not hurting him I’m hurting Harry. I can’t do this anymore.

I turned on the on TV and the video for the song I sang with Liam and Zayn back in New York came on. I remember when the chorus came on I jumped on Harry’s lap and sang it quietly in his ear while one of his hands rested on the small of my back and the other slowly slid up my back and up to the nape of my neck. Thinking about it still sends shivers up my spine, but when I realized what I was doing I quickly hopped off of him and ran back to Liam and Zayn.

@EvergreenMarie: Would you believe me if I said ‘I’m in love?’

Not even 2 minutes later Harry replied.

@Harry_Styles: We are we are we are, got me up all night.

I groaned and threw my phone to the other side of the couch. I just want him out of my head, I need to stop thinking about him, I need to just stop.

To give Chris and me a fair shot… I can’t talk to Harry anymore, I won’t. I got in bed and slowly drifted to sleep.

“BABY I LOVE YOU I NEVER WANT TO LET YOU GO THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THE MORE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT EVERYTHING YOU DO IF SUPER FUCKING CUTE”

The sound of Chris’ ringtone blasted through my ears making my eye fly open. I slid my finger across the screen and pressed it to my ear.

“Hey ba-“

“How could you do that Marie!?” he yelled at me, I could hear it in his voice that he was crying

“C-Chris what is it? What did I do?”

“DON’T PLAY FUCKING STUPID WITH ME MARIE!”

“But…”

“Check your fucking phone!” and with that the line went dead
