Blush

Chapter 2

"Don't goooooo!!!" I begged as I held onto Zayn's waist.

"Ari, are you bipolar?" he asked with a smirk. 

Zayn would always tease me because of my mood swings.

"It's just- I don't-"

"Spit it out!!!"

"I didn't think I'd be like this. I thought I was gonna be all cool."

"Well, you were wrong." he stated the obvious.

"Thank you 'Captain Obvious'."

"Seriously Ari, I've got to go."

"Ughhh" I grunted.

"Fine, but promise you won't forget me."

"You know I won't forget you."

"Zayn, I know how you are. You're gonna go on X Factor, you're gonna pretend you're all cool, and then BAM! Who's Ari?"

Zayn sighed.

"See, I told you." I said.

I turned and started walking away, but he grabbed my wrist and turned me around.

He hugged me tight and said, "You're Ari, stupid head."

I pushed him away and started laughing. 

"You idiot." I said between laughs.

He looked at me and smiled that adorable smile of his.

"I seriously thought you didn't know, sorry."

"Again, I say: you idiot."

"Zayn, it's time to go." his mum said coming into the room for a brief second then leaving.

"You heard her. GO!" I yelled.

He turned around and mumbled a goodbye before opening the door and closing it.

My jaw dropped. I didn't mean leave without a final hug. My eyes began to water. I really am bipolar. I turned around and began walking when the door opened and I turned around faster than I intended and fell to the floor.

"Clumsy too, huh?" Zayn said as he rushed over to me.

"Shut up you- you- aww forget it." 

I hugged him as tight as I could. He hugged back.

"First thing when I get back, we're getting you a thesaurus."

"Be quiet!" I yelled.

He pulled back.

"OWWWW!!!! MY EAR!!!!" he yelled.

"Stop being so over dramatic, that's my job. Now hug me." I said rolling my eyes in the process.

"Zayn, YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" Zayn's mum said/ yelled, coming into the room again, her eyes getting wide meaning she was getting inpatient.

"Alright, alright, I'm going."

She left after that.

"Last hug or else I will have to forget about you." Zayn said turning back to me.

I stood on my tippy toes so I could wrap my arms around his neck.

"Why do I have to be so freakin tiny?!" I yelled hating my petite figure.

"Don't worry, it's cute." Zayn said

"Puh-lease!"

I finally got to wrap my short arms around his neck and his long ones went around my waist.

"I'm gonna miss you so bad." he said

"Me too."

We finally disconnected and he kissed my nose.

"Ewwww, Zaaaaayyyynnnn." I protested scrunching my nose up and wiping it.

Zayn laughed knowing I hated when he did that. I stuck my tongue out at him and started running around the house. Zayn immediately took off after me.

"You can't catch me!! HAHA!!" I yelled to get him motivated.

"Oh, yes I can!" he yelled back.

Just then I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I screamed making him let go. I took off running again.

"I'm gonna get you, ya midget."

"Giant!"

We both hated those nicknames, but oh well.

I felt the same warm arms around my waist. This time I didn't scream because I was cold and it felt nice. We both stopped running and began panting. He turned me around and I looked down. My face was brought up again to meet his beautiful chocolate brown eyes by two of his fingers under my chin. He rested his forehead on mine and kissed my nose again. This time I didn't wipe it off because last time it led to running away and I was quite enjoying this moment. Zayn knew how I felt about him and we've talked about it before, but neither of us made another move afterwards. I suddenly felt a pair of soft, warm lips on my semi-chapped ones. Sure, this wasn't the first time Zayn kissed me with us not using labels like boyfriend and girlfriend and it was definitely not my first kiss. Although Zayn was my first kiss, this was not it. The kiss ended sooner than I would have liked but I didn't kiss him again.

"I love you." he sighed.

"Sooooooo.......muuuuuuuchhhhh....." he added.

I giggled knowing he was trying to get that light pink color, that was so foreign to my cheeks, to appear.

"Me too." I said back.

"I don't understand how you don't blush. Every other girl does it."

"That's the problem. I'm not every other girl."

"Well, that's true."

"Zayn, you better go. I can already picture your mum coming in and dragging you out." I said before laughing.

"Nahhh...let's just stay here and wait 'till then." he decided.

"Nope. Too late. I see her outside the window. She's already coming." I lied.

Zayn pulled away quicker than I thought he could and fell.

"Looks like I'm not the only clumsy one around here." I told him my thoughts out loud and stuck my tongue out at him. It's become a habit around him.

He got up and before I could react he grabbed my waist again.

"Shut up." he stated casually, not the least bit offended.

Right when I as gonna say something he kissed me again, not that I was complaining, but this was getting old. I pulled away this time.

"Bye Zayn. Good luck. I love you!" I yelled pushing him out the door.

Zayn laughed.

"Bye, I love you too."

He finally got in the car and they drove away.

I had never felt so lonely.
