Chapter Seventy-Six

(Next update on Saturday.!)

Zayn's POV

"Evan I think I'm gonna close up early and uhm.. catch up with my friend." Her eyes meet mine briefly.

"That's fine," he smiles, "I'll see you tomorrow." He kisses her cheeks and waves goodbye towards me.

"Nice to meet you." He says directly towards me.

"You too." I say flatly.

When he leaves Samantha puts the closed sign up and locks the door.

She takes a seat across from me in one of the tables in the middle of the room.

She stares at me for a moment. "I can't believe you're here.. I can't believe you're right in front of me." She leans back into her seat.

"You don't know how much I've missed you," She says.

I scoff, "It seems that way."

"Don't do that.. please." Her eyes are becoming glossy.

"Sam, no. You did this to yourself, I have actually missed and loved you all this time. And what hurts the most is that you didn't come to me.. you just left. I think I made it pretty clear that I will always be there for you but instead you run away, you run away from your problems." I sigh.

"I know.." She says, catching me off guard. "I just needed to leave earlier then planned. I wanted to talk to you and tell you that I was sorry but I-I couldn't bring myself to do it.. I thought you would be angry with me for leaving like I did."

"I wasn't angry. I mean I was a little but once I saw you all of it went away and I wanted nothing more then to just.. hold you in my arms forever because I never want to lose you again."

"But then Evan showed up.." I grumble in annoyance.

"If it makes you feel any better, I do love him. And I'm happy.. " she says softly, placing her small hand over mine.

"That doesn't make me feel better." I shake my head.

"You don't want me to be happy? You want me to be that miserable little girl that hid in her bedroom?" She snaps.

"I want you to be with me. Not with him! He doesn't know you like I do.. I don't see what you see in him."

"When are you going back to England?" She asks, changing the subject.

"Four days." I tell her.

"Only four days? You can't stay longer?" She asks, twirling her thumbs together.

"I'm sorry I can't. I have to go back, the boys need me."

"Oh.. I've seen you in magazines and on the Telly. I'm really proud of you." She smiles genuinely at me.

"Thank you. We've been working really hard this year, it's good cause it helps me keep my mind off things."

"Like what?" She asks hesitantly.

"Missing you...missing your touch, the feel of your hair or the softness of your lips," I lower my voice. Her eyes don't dare meet my own.

"Zayn.. kiss me. Kiss me please." She gulps, still looking down.

I stand from my seat and made my way to her.

I grab her hand and pull her up from her seat slowly, I grab her by the hip and pull her as close to my body as possible.

My other hand wraps around the back of her head and neck. My eyes go from her eyes to her lips, I bite down on my lip before I gently place my lips onto her, they move in sync.

Oh my god. I've missed so much, I swear there isn't anything better then the taste of her lips.

She pulls away suddenly, "I'm sorry I have to go." She pushes away from my body, the loss of her body heat sent a chill down my spine.

"What? Why?" I ask.

"I-I'm so confused, I can't." She grabs her jacket off the counter hurries out the door.

Elena's POV

"So how was it? Did you guys talk?" I ask once he walks through the door.

"Yeah, we did." He shakes his head, rubbing the back of his neck.

"What happened?" I ask him.

"We talked, we kissed, and then she left quickly." He shrugs, pulling off his shoes.

"What do you mean she left quickly?" I keep attacking him with question, but I can't help it.

"She said she was confused and then left." He sits on the edge of the bed and I sit down next to him.

"I'm sorry, Zayn." I lay my head on his shoulder, "It seems like I'm saying that a lot lately."

"I just wanna be happy.. why do I always chose the wrong people? Why can't I be loved for once?"

His words are filled with so much pain and I can't help but wrap my arms around him.
