Bound Together

Chapter 16

Ruby's POV 

I waiting impatiently for Zayn to answer, rubbing my eyes so I could see in front of me as the tears had blurred my vision, black probably smudging all over my eyes from my mascara but right now that is the last thing on my mind. "Hey, Ruby are you ok" zayn nervously answers into the phone.

"No" I sob "Please help me" I whine into the phone.

"What the fuck is wrong" Zayn shouts "Is it Harry?".

"No, no Zayn, please come to my salon. Will you?" I ask shyly.

"Of course I will Rub" I tell Zayn the address and he sounds so worried. I'm glad I had Zayn to ring because I would have probably freaked even more out if he wasn't coming. I back up to the corner of the room where everything is in sight and pull my knees up to my chest in order of protection.

Less than 5 minutes later I hear a pounding on the front door of the salon, I timidly push myself off the wall and look through the peep hole of the door as I'm in entire darkness as I locked and tightly shut all of the blinds. When I looked through the peep hole I see a worried Zayn standing there with his perfectly quiffed hair and his beautiful hazel eyes and leather jacket; you can't deny he isn't attractive.

I hastily unlock the latch and then turn the key in the door and fling the door wide open and jump into Zayn's arms I wrap my arms around his neck. He looks surprised but hugs me back and rubs circles into my back to try and comfort me for what at the moment he doesn't know what for. I let out a long sigh of relief that I am now safe in Zayn's arms and I rub the tears away and look up into Zayn's eyes. He looks back with lust in his eyes and suddenly I feel very uncomfortable, I try to let myself drop to the ground but he keeps a tight grip around my legs not letting me go, it wasn't painful but I wouldn't say it was comfortable.

"Erm... Zayn you can let me go now" I stutter. His eyes look like they actually have just came back into reality and he gives me a small smiles and drops my safely on the ground.

"Sorry" he murmurs.

"It's ok" I smile back just happy someone is here with me.

"So babe" I squirm a little at the use of the word babe coming out of Zayn's mouth, I kinda like it I think.

"Are you going to tell me what happened" He hesitantly asks.

"Yeah, I guess so" He hum's in response for me to carry on "I was just stocking up with the shampoo in the back room and I hear the door slam, I thought my next appointment was much to early so I was positive it wasn't them, I started to freak out but when I look no one was there and there was just a note on the floor" I explained.

Zayn looked startled "and... what did it say" I looked to the floor I didn't want to tell him about it, make him think even lower of Harry, I just want to protect him.

"Ruby, tell me" his voice was stern and serious. I sighed guessing I should tell him as he cared that much about me to come here and check if I was ok.

"I thought I warned you yesterday? Make sure styles' knows who he's messing with" I hesitantly spoke.

"What" Zayn boomed down to me "What the fuck happened yesterday". I explained to him what happened in the car and I also told him about the brick getting thrown through the window he had an unreadable expression on his face which I was puzzled myself about "That fucking styles, he's not good for you. He can't keep you or Alexa safe like I can, you deserve someone better." he tells me "Someone who actually cares about you." He adds onto the end. I ponder upon his last words, Harry does care about me, doesn't he? But maybe if he cared so much he would have answered his phone, but he didn't Zayn did.

I look up at him and give him a half smile "I don't know what me and Harry are" I sigh.

"Exactly" Zayn runs a frustrated hand through his hair "You can know exactly what you are to me" He plays with my hair "Let me take you out, if you don't feel anything for me then you can tell me to leave but at least give me a chance" he half begs me. I don't really know what me and Harry are, I don't even know if I like him like that or not. I don't know what he thinks of me but I just know we both care about each other.

I think for a while before giving Zayn my answer "Yeah, sure" I smile, I don't think one date will hurt anyone I'm not even going to call it a date.

"Cool" Zayn reply's while winking at me, I cringe a little but I suppose it is sweet. I just giggle at his remark.

He looks at me and lowers his head towards mine taking the back of my head with his large hands and guiding my head towards his. Our lips connect and I think about pushing him away, I'm so stunned by his actions I simply can't do anything. He starts moving his lips against mine and unconsciously I respond to him. He smiles into the kiss and I eventually have the strength to pull away but zayn still puts a cheesy grin upon his lips, I can't help but smile back at his contagious smile but yet I didnt't feel the sparks inside of me that erupt when I kiss Harry. We decide to go for a walk through the park so I can get my mind off the incident just until Harry rings me back anyways.

Harry's POV

What the fuck. I start to worry and my hand begins shaking. 17 missed calls off Ruby. Nothing could be that important if it wasn't serious. I ring her back but I get no answer. I pack Alexa's things up quickly from the picnic bench in the park we came here just after we had been to the farm. I put Alexa in her push chair and put the bag over my shoulder. While were walking down the path to get to the car I hear a familiar laugh I turn my head for a split second and then do a double take. Long black tied up hair blowing in the wind looking as beautiful as ever, when I look to her right I see her looking up and laughing with someone. Not only someone, Zayn. This has to be a fucking joke.

I storm over to them pushing Alexa faster in her push chair. "And what the FUCK do we have here" I shout and wave my arms towards them. They both swing their heads towards me and Ruby goes pale and worry flashes across her face while Zayn stands next to Ruby with a smug smirk on his face.

"Harry, c'mon I can explain" Ruby tries to reassure me trying to drag me away from that.

"No Ruby" I shrug her off me I point my finger in zayns face as he stares right at me "Don't fucking come near us again, do you hear me?" I scream in his face.

He just laughs and walks away "See you tomorrow Ruby" he better not be serious, I turn to see ruby and her head is in her hands. I storm over to Zayn and right hook him straight into the jaw, he winces in pain and I smile smugly at my achievement "I'm being serious Zayn, don't". I turn back to ruby she stands there motionless and stunned. I take Alexa and her pushchair and guide ruby into the car.

We sit in silence until we get back into the house and Ruby completely blows the fuck up. I go to put Alexa in her crib after the day out we had she must be feeling tired and I shut the door tightly with the noise I presume is going to be loud. "What the fuck is your problem Harry" She shouts at me, waving my arms about.

"What do you mean Ruby, you were out with fucking Zayn out of all people" I shout back.

"You didn't have to fucking punch him, jesus Harry" She spits at me.

"I did Ruby he can't be swanning around us all the time" I throw back at her.

"Why harry? Why do you care so much" She hisses at me.

"Are you serious ruby, do I need to spell it out for you" I start to get angry with her, how can she not fucking understand.

Ruby laughs "Well yes, that would help Harry".

I huff  "Fine" I shout "I think I'm in love with you Ruby. Do you understand that? I think I'm in love with you."
