Penny For Your Thoughts?

Twelfth

Zayn stares at the ceiling. How could he be so blind? So blind to not see that she was still so present in his life even when she wasn't. He feels Marissa stir in his arms and he hums softly, allowing her to fall asleep once again. It always amazed him at how the sound of him, whether it be sighing or just singing, would calm her.

Penny was never like that.

But dammit, why was he still thinking of her? Sure she would pass through his mind softly from time to time, but nothing like this. Nothing like he could feel her around him constantly. Ever since that Jeep incident last week, he's felt nothing, but paranoia. That she was always around him somehow. And she would see him with Marissa. Because even now, tangled in the sheets with another woman by his side, he still cared for Penny's feelings.
