We Wanted It That Way || Zayn Malik Arranged Marriage

29.Showing Off New Side

(Elena's POV)

          The time had eventually passed and my conversations with Zayn involved nothing but 'good morning' or 'night' , we haven't been talking that much, he goes to work in the morning and returns by the afternoon always finding me in the sad status I am in, Till that day when he decided to talk about it,

"How long will you keep acting like that?" he questioned huffing as he did, as if he was tired of all the drama that was filling the tense air between us,

"Acting like what?" I questioned back not trying to play innocent or something but he was talking about the issue like it was nothing,

"Don't try to play games, you know how you're acting, we're not even talking to each other." he clarified irritation hitting his voice, and I caught notice of that clenched jaw of his,

"Zayn, I don't even get it, Why are you talking about what happened like it's nothing?!" I replied noticing that my voice started to raise a little,

"Because it is! We were drunk we didn't mean to do any of this! why are you making such a big deal out of it?!" he barked as his palms curled up into a tightened fist,

"Because we're not single,Zayn! what we did would affect your girlfriend deeply if she knew about it, and you're aware of this well!" I roared facing him with something he hasn't paid much attention to,

 "She's not gonna know about anything! because what we did meant nothing!" he cried stepping closer to my body, and his eyes was darkened with anger which caused my fear of him to rise a little,

"And if it does mean nothing, why can't you tell her?! why can't you let me level with Eric?!" I argued bringing all the confidence that was left in me knowing that it wouldn't last for longer,

" 'Cause they wouldn't understand! they would see nothing but how unfaithful we are! I know them well!" he barked one more time making me shut up, I don't want them to think of us that way, 'cause Zayn is right, that night meant nothing..to him..

"You know what? do whatever the hell you want! You wanna tell Eric? go and tell him if you succeeded in building that courage then do it!, I'm not forcing you into anything!" he yelped picking a packet of cigarettes out of his pants pockets frustratedly placing a cigarette between his soft lips,

I let go of the sight I don't like seeing at all and fought the urge of tearing the packet apart out of his hands so hard,

"Fine,Zayn whatever!" I cried rushing out of the living room going upstairs knowing that I'm not gonna be able to face Eric with the truth, Zayn was just taunting me, believing that I'm not capable of building the courage to do so.

I entered the guest's room slamming the door shut behind me, and kept walking back and forth in the semi empty room, feeling my mind that was burning inside of me, having no idea of what I'm gonna do.

All my thoughts were running around two guys, the boy I've cheated on knowing that I've no idea of how to be honest with him without causing problems, and the boy I had lost my virginity to, the one I've just had a fight with believeing that we're not gonna even talk till it comes to something serious.

I was cut off my frustrated thoughts that was hunting my head by my phone that was ringing on the night stand, I walked up to it and saw that the caller was Eric, I let a sigh of irritation escape my parted lips before picking it up,

"Hello," I started faking my best cheerful voice,

"Hey,babe." Eric's low accent replied, "How ya doin?" he asked and I could tell that he was faking that cheerful tone of his as much as I was,
