You & I (Zayn Malik Fan Fic)

Chapter 7

*Ava's POV*

I just kept running until my legs ached. I was kinda lost in my own building from all the running. I looked around and saw that I was in the area of the lifts (elevator). I clicked the button and waited for one to come.

I was going to the lobby and clear my mind. As crazy as it sounds, the crowded lobby actually calms me down. Today it wasn't crowded though. I needed a crowded place so I thought of going to the cafe.

"Hey Tommy. I'm going to a cafe. Just letting you know." "Ok Ms. Ava."

With that I walked out of the lobby and into the sidewalk. There was a Starbucks just around the corner so I decided to walk there. I hope this is a good hiding place from Zayn.

*Zayn's POV*

I couldn't help but run after Ava once I saw she wasn't coming back like the other times we fought. I needed to go look for her. I can't let her go just like that. I then thought of where she usually goes when she's overwhelmed. The lobby.

When I got to the lobby, I looked around for her and found nothing. I then asked the doorman where he was. "Hey Tommy. By any chance do you know where Ava went?" "Actually I do. She said she was going to the cafe." The only cafe she went to was Starbucks and that was right around the corner. "Thanks Tommy." "You're welcomed Mr.Zayn."

I walked ran to Starbucks. I couldn't take it anymore knowing that she really wanted us to be over.

I opened the door and walked in not caring if I got recognized. All I cared about was getting Ava back. I looked around for her an found her sitting in a table that was in the corner. She didn't have a drink so I bought her favorite : caramel macchiato. When I got the drink, I walked to where she was sitting and placed it right in front if her.

"Zayn. You didn't have to buy anything for me. Don't you remember that we're over?" Those words hit me in the chest hard and it looked like she was serious for once about us breaking up. I took the chair out then sat across from her. I took her hands in my hands and was surprised that she didn't pull away.

"Ava. Please. You know I love you. I didn't mean to say that my job was my life. You're my life. And that will never change."

*Ava's POV*

"Ava. Please. You know I love you. I didn't mean to say that my job was my life. You're my life. And that will never change."

I looked up to see tears dwelling up in the corner of his eyes. That was a sign that he meant what he was saying. I couldn't take it anymore though. There's times when Perrie is over and seeing them together is torture. But I love him so much to actually let him go. Why doesn't management let him date who he wants? I know us will be a different story if it was like that. There would be no hiding and we wouldn't fight as much as we do.

"Zayn. Look I just can't take it anymore. You're basically cheating on me right on my face by dating Perrie and bringing her over. I'm tired of having to hide." "It's not my fault that management wants more publicity for One Direction. I wish the contract of me dating Perrie could be over at any time. Sadly there's still three months left."

I understood everything that he told me but it still hurt when I saw them together. But I needed him in my life just like I needed air to breathe.

"I guess I have to accept that huh? No matter what happens, I will always love you." "I love you too Ava. Now how about we go back to the flat and have a movie night?"

I liked movie nights. That meant that we would watch movies all night while eating countless bowls of popcorn. Oh and did I mention that we cuddle while we watch the movies?

"Ok. But you let me pick. I miss watching my romance movies." "Oh I guess I should prepare myself for comforting you after the endings when you cry."

Comforting meant that we would kiss until I basically stopped crying. Sometimes I kept crying on purpose just to keep kissing him.

I then let out a giggle. "That's fine by me." "If only you knew how much I missed hearing your giggle."

With that we left and I took my caramel macchiato with me. I couldn't leave that behind. We intertwined our hands and walked out of the cafe. As long as paparazzi wasn't around or else Perrie will go off on Zayn when a picture of us holding hands ends up in the cover of the newspaper.

We walked slowly back to our building not wanting this moment to come to an end. I wish every day was like this except for the fighting.
