Chapter Eight
Cravings
Lily's POV
The annoying beep of my alarm went off causing me to become wide awake. I got up fast and soon regretted my action. I sat at the edge of my bed and my sight went black. A few seconds passed and my sight was going back to normal. I brought my hand up to my throbbing head, kept it there for a few minutes, and applied pressure to the areas of my head that hurt the most. Right then and there, I wanted to climb back inside my bed and fall fast asleep but I couldn't.
I made my way to my bathroom and took off the nasty clothing I was wearing. I turned the water on, twisting the knobs a little bit to the left and a bit to the right. I made the temperature of the water become just right for my liking.
I moved my hands through my wet hair, pushing all the hairs out of my face. As I was about to wash my body I noticed a few love bites near my chest area. A blank expression casted over my face and I felt sick. I had no memories of last night and I was afraid to even try to remember anything. I know that if I did I would have regrets.
I quickly finished taking my shower and got out. I wrapped the towel around my small body and wrapped a towel on my head as well. I wiped the hot mist off the bathroom mirror and just stood there. I dropped the towel and looked at my naked body through the mirror in disgust. I noticed more love bites near my neck and a huge one near ear. Who the hell was I with last night? A million thoughts ran through my mind but the first thing I would have to do would be to cover up real well. I have school today and I don't want people making up rumors about me. But most importantly, I must hide these marks from my parents.
I put my clothes on and made my way out. I grabbed my book bag and tip toed my way downstairs. I managed to avoid my parents and made my way outside. I sighed and was thankful the weather has been more towards the cold side this past week. I would have looked like an idiot with all these clothes on. You'd think I would be going to the North Pole or something.
I started walking just minding my own business as usual. I refused to take the school bus although it would have been very convenient for me. As I was walking I heard an engine of a car right behind me. I didn't look and kept walking but this time I sped up the pace. I held the straps of my book bag tight and tried to not make contact with the car.
"Lily.."
I recognized his voice and turned around.
"Zayn.." I mocked.
"Want a ride?" he offered. I shook my head and continued walking. I was trying to play hard to get. He kept the car going at a steady pace as he continued following me.
He got out the car as soon as he knew my intentions and started making his way towards me. He walked at a steady pace giving him that 'cool' affect. As he neared towards me he extended his arms for what I thought would be a gesture for an embrace but instead his intentions were very different. He swifty unwrapped the scarf that was around my neck. He stepped back and observed the love bites that were very visable.
"How did you-?"
"Shhh..." he interupted me by placing a finger over my mouth.
"C'mon Lily. Let me take you to school." he demanded. I gave in and made my way to his car. He opened the door for me and then made his way back to the driver's seat.
"So you.." I tried to say.
"I what ?" he smirked.
"You..." I touched the love bites on my skin and turned to face him.
"I what Lily?" he stated again. This time a smirk appeared on his face.
I didn't continue with what I wanted to ask. All the confirmation I needed was given with one wink he sent me. I tightend up at the thoughts of the drunken moments I had shared with Zayn.
I felt the butterflies in my stomach coming loose. He had so much nerve and confidence to even touch me. I'm bewildered right now. I hardly know him but in his perspective it's like he doesn't have to know me to do the unexpected. It's in his nature to do such bizarre and straight forward actions. He doesn't take on the image of an angel nor does he take the time to act like one. He's who he is and there isn't much one could simply do but to follow along with what he has in store for you. I'm am becoming insane but I'm okay with that and I'm okay with him. There's nothing wrong in craving something so delicious and desirable. It's human nature to do so.
