Marked (Zayn Malik Fan Fiction)

CH-9 because I can

Liam and Danielle went outside to talk. Things were getting a bit intense now. Eleanor and Louis went to the roof to talk because Lou thought that Eleanor might be involved as she is good friends with Danielle. Jasmine was flirting with Harry and Niall, even though she had a boyfriend. I was looking out the window at Danielle and Liam.

"You should give them some privacy." I heard Zayn's voice and for the first time it actually calmed me down.

"I am just worried about him," I said and kept a straight face. I didn't wanted to look at Zayn. I didn't wanted to know what expression he has on his face.

"We all are, aren't we? But he is grown man. He can take care of himself. I know he can and you know it too." Sometimes, of course not all the times, but sometimes Zayn talk things which actually make sense.

I turned towards him, the room was dark as the only light which was inside was coming from the moon. His expressions were soft, his eyes were shining because of the little light that was coming on his face.

"He has a soft heart, it don't want him to be broken hearted again," I managed to say it despite all the distraction.

Zayn walked towards me, we were just couple of inches from each other now.

"Candice," he said. My name was dancing on his lips and it sounded different. He was so close to me but yet so far away. He half smiled and my heart just melted, this is not how guys treat me everyday and this is so different.

"It's going to be okay, he is going to be fine, you are going to be fine and I am going to fine." His voice was clam and soothing. I know not to say anything because that might kill the moment, but are we having a moment?

I closed my eyes and took the scent in. I smelled Zayn; strong and husky with a pinch of aftershave and then I smelled the outside, the garden, the flowers. I was in a state of mind where everything was beautiful.

I felt lips kissing my forehead and when I opened my eyes I saw Zayn walking backwards, he was smiling and then he winked at me. I could not stop blushing, I turned around for distraction but I couldn't get my mind of it. I placed my finger on my forehead and felt the warmness in it. He did kissed it, but why? My brain stopped working for the first time and I don't know why but I think I have to get use to it now.

I turned around and started looking for Jasmine. The last time I saw her she was in the living room with Harry and Niall but not anymore.

I can see Niall and Harry but I can't see her. They both are just having a little chat and laughing and chilling and when I walked in they looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"Come sit," Niall offered.

"No, I am looking for Jasmine. Have you seen her?" I asked.

"She went upstairs," Harry said calmly. He has been so cool and calm throughout the day and not to mention fun.

"Okay, I will just look for her." I smiled and as soon as I was about to leave Niall took my hand and in a really calm Irish voice he said "Candice, glad you are here and thanks for talking to Liam. He wanted this." I know Niall is just looking after his brother but his words mean a lot to me. He is such a nice guy and it actually hurts me that some people will never understand how down to earth this guy is.

I just smiled and he started talking to Harry again. He let go of my hand and I walked up the stairs. There was so many rooms that it actually was confusing. I looked at the first room but it was empty and so was the second room so I went towards the third one and when I opened it I saw a shadow. Though I was a bit scared but I still entered the room.
