We Wanted It That Way || Zayn Malik Arranged Marriage

36.Won't Say It

(Elena's POV)

             I kept clutching to my abdomen as if I'm gonna erase all the pain but it never happened, I was just in a state of continuous moans laying down on the couch with nothing heard but my whimpers. I was --as usual home alone as Zayn went out to get who knows what, so I was just hitting my head with the pillow continuously without anyone stopping me.

"Does it hurt that much?" A voice whispered from behind me and I just nodded variously before frowning to myself turning around to know who I'm talking to, and I found the slim tall figure of Zayn with some shopping bags in one of his hands as he placed the others neatly on the coffee table,

"I've brought you some.." he stopped to gather the words rubbing the back of his neck with his hand which got me more anxious, "..things, I think it's gonna ease the pain a little bit," he finally finished showing what was hidden inside those bags,

He placed some snacks in front of me and I was surprised to see that they were all my favorites, then his hands grabbed some pain killers out of the bags and on the table next to their belongings,

"How did you know these are my favorites,Zayn?" I asked showing how confused I am as I analyzed all the stuff that were placed in front of me but this question was only returned by his nervous chuckles,

"You--kind of--talk in your sleep," he replied as he laughed slightly causing me to forget all about the pain I was going through as I widened my eyes at him,

"How?!" I questioned getting up to be only pushed down again by Zayn's gentle moves,

"Sit down, you need some rest," he ordered as his warm hands caught hold of both of my forearms keeping me in place,

"But Zayn, what did you hear?" I asked still panicking trying to release myself from his smooth grip, but he disobeyed forcing me to lay my body on the couch completely pulling the cover over me ignoring my protests,

"Shh,I'm gonna make you dinner now so relax and let me cook in peace, I better cook without any protests interrupting me or I'll end up setting the kitchen on fire." he joked placing a pillow under my head,

"But Zay--"

'Shh," 

"I just wanna--"

"Shh" he shushed me one more time placing his index finger over my lips,

"I just wanna thank you!" I finally said it as I caught hold of both of his hands before they could reach my mouth,

"Oh, okay then you're welcome." he replied chuckling slightly as he made his way to the kitchen,

"I'll need some instructions so stay alarmed!" he yelled from the kitchen and I returned it with an 'okay' just as loud as him.

         "Thanks for all of this,Zayn,really." I thanked him as he threw some of the garbage in the trash can,

"No problem,It's just a dinner. This is the least I could do after that night..." he stopped mid-sentence after he saw my disappointed expression that was eyeing nothing but the floor,

"Anyway! What's your plans for tomorrow?" he asked trying to cheer the mood again but I looked up at him with my brows furrowed as I titled my head to the side,

"Is it gonna be any different?" I questioned back considering that he's gonna be in work all day as usual and me just chilling at home, or going over to Laura's,maybe.

"Sure, I'm taking the day off," he stated making me raise both of my brows in surprise,

"But I'm going over to Laura's." I argued.
