Someone who was once a monster in my eyes had the ability to make me feel so safe in his arms. His fingers were locked with mine, wrapped carefully around my waste & it was the most comforting feelings I’ve been having in a long time, especially with everything that had been going away.

I thought that the getaway would make me feel better, but it was Zayn. He made me feel things that I never thought I was capable of feeling –ever. Not only because we got off on the wrong foot, but because I was mindset that I wouldn’t feel something toward anybody because of the hurt I see it does to people.

But someone who meant so little to me… surprisingly was changing it all for me. I didn’t like to think into the future, but that’s all he made me want to do. I embraced the moments as it passed, yet I wanted to know where this was all going to lead to eventually.

“What took you so long?” I smiled, feeling his face fall into the crook of my neck, his lips brushing ever so gently over my sweet spot that he was quick to find in our short time spent together.

“It doesn’t matter now… does it? I’m here now. That should matter,” he whispered.

That much was true. He was here. Although it was something I never expected, I was going to enjoy every bit of it, just in case I woke up from this dream I never imagined to have. I nodded, keeping the smile of satisfaction planted on my face.

His arms suddenly unraveled from around me, giving me a feel of emptiness that I’ve never felt. It was another weird feeling I’d experienced, only with him. Quickly, he was in front of me, his back to me. I looked at him questioningly, ignoring the fact that there was no way he could see my puzzled face.

“What are you doing?” I asked, followed by a laugh.

“Hop on, babe.” I stared at him like he was crazy. Sure, this was the time to be spontaneous, because everything about us was, but piggy back riding? I’m not a child. “C’mon, I do get tired squatting, y’know?”

I giggled, hopping on his back. His arms caught onto my legs as they wrapped around his waist. I crossed my arms in front of his chest, resting my chin on his shoulder.  Nothing about the piggy back ride went right. Zayn would keep scaring me that he would throw me back to the ground, and eventually my hair would get in his face from the small wind.

Gently, he set me down, followed by him taking a seat in the cool sand and pulling me down to sit in between his legs. Just from the simplest touch of his hands on mine, a small shiver ran up my spine. A small shiver that could never go unnoticed by him.
