Talking To The Moon [z.m.]

11: U.N.I.

Faith's POV

Zayn's stare went from cold to nervous and scared in seconds.

"I mean," I breathed. "We're still trying to figure that out. I'm trying to focus on Alex right now."

Trisha nodded, meanwhile Zayn looked down at the ground with a line on his lips. "I agree with your opinion Hunny, but maybe you need Zayn more than you think, maybe not only because of Alex."

I could see where she was going here. "We'll see." Was all I said.

"Say goodbye to grandma," Zayn pushed Alex's shoulder lightly so he could be closer to Trisha.

We stood at the front door of the house, leaving after being here for two hours. We've been talking the whole time while Alex continued to play with his two aunts. Trisha told us that Doniya lived in London now with her fiancé.

Alex inched closer to Trisha before she knelt down and pulled him into her arms. His small arms wrapped around her neck and she kissed his little head before letting him go.

"Bye auntie Waliyha, bye auntie Safaa," Alex waved at Zayn's little sisters.

They grinned and waved back at him on either side of their mother. Zayn smiled and hugged each of them, kissing his mother on the forehead before stepping back.

I hugged each of them, hearing Trisha whisper something in my ear," Don't forget about what I told you."

I nodded at her before we left.

Zayn's POV

I drove our of my mum's driveway as soon as we were all buckled up.

"Where are we going now, daddy?" I heard Alex say in his car seat.

"Um," Before I could answer, my new cellphone that I had just bought rang.

Faith grabbed it before I could reach it. "It's Xavier."

"What? Put it on speaker."

"Please." My son's voice said.

"Please." I smiled at him through the review mirror and I caught a glimpse of him smiling back. I loved my little boy.

"Yo, Malik!" Xavier's voice roared through the phone. "You're back!"

"Yeah, I am." I said while Faith placed the phone on my lap as I drove.

"Do you wanna come over? The whole gang's here and we wanna see you! We missed ya, man!"

I looked at Faith and she looked confused, not knowing to go or not.

"Come on, man!" He sensed my doubt. "Is Faith there with you?"

"Yeah."

"Then you must have your kid, too! Please, we want to see, too! Bring him along, Faith hasn't brought him to us since he was three months!"

I looked at Faith one more time while I slowed the car down, there was traffic. She looked at me once more before sighing and nodding.

"We'll be there." I said.

"Who are we seeing?" Alex asked as Faith and I both climbed out of the car once I parked in front of Xavier's house.

"Friend's of ours, they're nice."

Faith pulled Alex out of his car seat before she closed the door and I locked the car, placing my hand on Faith's back as we walked up the steps to Xavier's house.
