If ...

Chapter 14

I changed into my white button up white blouse rolling the sleeves up , black skinny jeans and my ankle boots . I pulled my still damp hair into a messy bun . and applied a little mascara on my tired eyes .

After escaping the morning interrogation on the new phone call by promising the two nutcases that I'll tell them everything after I comeback .

Thankful that they both ignored my four am run .

I headed downstairs to take a cab .

And to my luck , I found one the minute I stepped outside . note the sarcasm .

I stood there for more than half an hour , and no cab passed by .

Great ; just great , it's 10:10 and I only have 20 more minutes to get to the coffee shop , or I'll be double late .

" Hi " a voice pulled me out of my thoughts .

I jumped putting a hand on my pounding scared heart .

" oh my god you scared me " I smiled at the hamdsome man in front of me  " zac right ?"

He smirked " yeah , i'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you , kendall is it ?"

" it's fine .yeah , you can call me Ken "I flashed him a smile

"are you waiting for someone ?"

"no , I'm actually waiting for a cab to pass , I need to go to a meeting and i'm already late "

" I can give you a ride , c'mon " he shrugged putting his hands in his back pockets

"no it's fine really , you'll be late to wherever you're going "

He smiled and shook his head " I'm not going anywhere , I was actually just going to start driving to take my head off certain things , so it's alright , c'mon we don't want you to be late " he said moving towards a black BMW

"thank you , but really you don't have to " I said following him .

He turned and flashed me a knee weakening smile " I insist , and I have nowhere to go . I was just going to drive around , better help a friend . I'm already wasting gas so get in ."

A friend ...I don't know why , but I feel at ease around him .

We got into his car , which I have to admit is amazing . how can he afford such a car ?

It's none of your business kendall , inner me said .

I showed him the address and he started driving .

" so ken , what are you doing here in Madrid ?"

Before I could stop the words from slipping out of mouth , I found myself already telling him about how mom and dad almost forced me out of the country , to come her , so I can move on and forget certain things , and start fresh . I told him about my dads sickness and also about my meeting with Cristiano .

I literally told him almost everything about me , almost , in a fifteen minute drive . and what I liked the most is the fact that he was not bothered with my incoherent phrases , or when I started rambling and fangirling about cristiano , he au contrast found it amusing .

When we arrived , he stopped the car " you're different ken , really , I'm glad I bumped to you , twice-" he chuckled "-you helped me clear some shit off"

I smiled at his sweet compliment " it was nice talking to you zac , and please don't cuss in front of me ... I don't like it when people cuss "

He lifted both his hands from the steering wheel in surrender and said " won't happen again ! when is your meeting with mister superstar ending "

I slapped his arm playfully " hey don't hate , he's great , and I don't know , you just go , I'll take a cab back home when I'm done "

He chuckled " I don't hate him , but I don't know , he seems arrogant and too proud . and please save us both the energy of this argument , that I will win , and text me when you are done , I will pick you up "

I smiled for what seemed like the millionth time during this car ride " fine and thanks for the ride zac , and he's not arrogant , he's the total opposite of that "

He smiled and nodded

I got out of the car and entered the coffee shop .

When I locked eyes with cris , he got up smirking , but suddenly his expression hardened and his fists clenched .

before I could process the reason why his face's expression changed in a heartbeat a voice called my name " ken , kendall , wait "

when I turned around zac was half jogging , half walking towards me

" zac ! uh did I forget something ?"

" yes , you did , your phone " he handed me my phone " here , it has my number in it , who in two thousand and sixteen doesn't lock his phone ? " he chuckled " anyway call me when your done " before I could speak , he pulled my hair band and my hair fell down cascading my shoulders " much better . lover boy will like your hair like this " and left without giving me the chance to speak .

Lover boy ? seriously zac

When I turned to cris , well , fuming mad furious is an understatement .

I slowly walked to him .

He didn't say a word , just walked towards the table.

Am I late ? did I make him wait ?

I took a glance at my phone , it's 10:27 , so technically I'm not late .

What is wrong with him ?
