Love At First Bite

CHAPTER 13

Regina's POV

The ride back home was a silent one. I had just picked Zayn up from the hospital after his 'shift'. The questions I wanted to ask kept floating through my mind. It was a vital thing to know but he wouldn't react well. Zayn hates to be wrongly accused.

I tried thinking of other things but all that came to mind was Harry coming back again. After finding out what happened with him, Rose and Calum were all that was on my mind. Harry was the type of person that would hurt the people around you just to get to you, and that's what made me sick the most.

Maybe it's better to talk to Zayn than to think about Harry.

A lot better.

I took a deep breath, my grip on the steering wheel tightening.

"I have to ask you something."I said mentally preparing myself.

"OK then, ask."he replied.

"Are you cheating on me?" I asked. He spun around to look at me.

"You're not serious right?"he asked.

"Zayn, you've been spending a lot of time at the hospital. I know you work there but I just can't help but get a feeling that you're hiding something." I said as I gripped the steering wheel tighter.

Suprisingly he placed his hand on my thigh and sighed. "Yea, I know babe. But I've been working extra shifts to get more money to book us this amazing hotel. It's first class and I wanted to suprise you." He said. "Oh." I looked down. "I'm sorry honey." I said as he entwined our fingers together. "It's okay. If it were you I'd think the same thing. " He said as we parked up in front our penthouse. As we walked upstairs he grabbed me and kissed me deeply and I kissed back, loving the familiar feeling. "And now I can show you how much I love you." He whispered as he lead me to the bed. I nodded as I felt his kisses and I sighed in happiness, I just love him so much it's gonna probably be the death of me.

Aurora's POV

I sat at home with Shaloma helping her with an art project when I got a text from Philip. He's still been talking to me since the whole thing with dad. He's been hanging out with us and our friends these days. I don't exactly understand why he does but it's his choice whether he wants to or not. I sent a quick response before going back to what we were doing.

"You texting your boyfriend again?" she joked nudging my arm.

"I have no boyfriend." I said. "Now go back to your painting."

"Well what's Philip then?"she asked.

"A friend, nothing else."

We have been getting closer but I wouldn't call it anything more than a friendship. I still do like him and I really want to be with him but we're friends and that's probably what we'll always be.

"Doesn't seem like a friendship to me." She smiled.

"Yeah to you."

"Me plus Andrea, Supreme, Bianca, Anna- "

"Ok ok I get the point. We aren't in a relationship and we never will be in a relationship." I got up to answer the door after I heard a knock. I couldn't be anymore surprised when I answered it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Philip as I let him into the house.

"Wanted to visit one of my best friends."he said making his way to the living room and sitting next to Shaloma. "You're parents aren't here though right?"

"No they're working. Why didn't you say you were coming?"

"I wanted to surprise you." he said with a Cheshire Cat smile spread across his face.

"And you say you're not in a relationship." Shaloma snickered while she painted.

I rolled my eyes before sitting on the couch behind them.
"We aren't Shaloma."

"We could be. I'm just waiting to make a move." He smiled.

"Yeah ok."I chuckled. "Does your dad know you're here?"

"What is this, twenty questions?"

"Well from what you said about him I just wanted to know."

Philip and his dad don't have the best relationship, they barely even have a relationship. His dad was never there when he was a baby and he was forced to take care of him after his mom and older sister died. He has the worst temper and Philip didn't have the best childhood. After not getting any answer I knew he didn't tell his dad and I gave him a disappointed look.

"Sorry. It's not like he'd actually care either way." He said.

"Philip listen, I get that he acts like a complete douchebag but he's your dad, you gotta tell him when you leave. Plus you know how he is."

"Yeah, yeah I'll go. I swear Hood you're the only person who can make me do stuff like this." I smiled at the comment before walking him to the door. All of a sudden, out of the blue, he kissed me. It took me about five seconds to comprehend what was going on, about the same time that he pulled away. "See you Beauty." He smiled before heading down the driveway.

I stood frozen, unable to shut the door. Philip Leo, the playboy of the decade, kissed me. I knew it wouldn't be smart to fall head over heels for him but it was easy as hell. Could he actually like me? Could we actually be together? I shook the thoughts from my head and shut the door. I did like him but I saw what could happen to a person who gets swept up so quickly. Like Aunt Regina. She and Uncle Zayn got married so fast and nowadays, Uncle Zayn doesn't seem to be around much. I shouldn't say, but I think that something would go wrong at some point. Long story short getting into this could be insanely risky but then on the other hand, it could work.
