Tattoos & Flower Crowns {Z.M}

14. Merci

   Chapter fourteen everyone. Hope you enjoy this. (:

    It's been nearly a month since I've told Zayn I wanted a break. That I needed to think about this. About our relationship. I love Zayn, so much. It's consuming me. Driving me crazy that I don't have him with me anymore. I don't see him in the house since he moved. I see him walking throughout the hallways. He doesn't look good now and days. He looks miserable. Louis hangs out with the both of us. As if he's our child in our divorce. Jayden tries to make moves on him but he always tells her no. Jayden has been hanging out with Chrissy lately, which doesn't surprise me. Mean girls typically hang out with each other.

    My aunt asked about what happened between Zayn and I. I tell her that we just needed some time apart. That I needed to keep to myself. Focus on my education. I can't though. I can't focus on school when Zayn is constantly prodding into my mind. I miss everything he does and I miss him period. It's been different. I've grown used to him being there with me all the time. I breathe in slowly walking towards the lunch table. I haven't been sitting with Louis or Zayn. Feeling way awkward. But I'll do it today.

   I see Zayn sitting down with his head against the table. Louis sitting there making obscene gestures with his hands. His mouth moving a million words a minutes. I walk up hearing that he's talking about Harry. He's boyfriend. They've been together for two years. It's honestly so cute. I take a seat next to Zayn biting down on my bottom lip. Louis stops talking his eyes falling on me.

   "Merci? Your sitting with us?" Louis asks his lips turning into a grin. Zayn picks up his head at the mention of my name. His eyes roaming before he turns his head seeing me. He's so freaking beautiful. His hair is tousled, it's became a little longer. Stubble is covering his cheeks. It's take all the willpower in me not to lean forward kissing him.
  
    "Yeah. I've missed both of you. I've decided to join you. I mean if that's alright with you two." I state softly. Zayn instantly nods, "Of course it is. I've missed you. I mean uh we've missed you. Me and Louis. Like together. But we aren't together." Zayn states his words jumbling together as his cheeks heat up. I giggle softly before unwrapping my sandwich taking a bite.

   "You're a complete idiot man." Louis states shaking his head chuckling softly. Louis drinks his blue Gatorade as Zayn glares at Louis. I swallow my bite as Louis shrugs. "Your a nervous wreck. Completely embarrassing yourself." Louis concluded nodding. I laugh softly before placing my sandwich down. "I think your nervous speaking is cute." I state causing Zayn to smile at me.

   Lunch goes by quite quickly like this. Louis mocking and teasing Zayn, Zayn telling him to shut up then me complimenting Zayn. I've realized my decision with the entire relationship thing. I want Zayn back. I want him back. I want him to be mine again. I plan on telling him that also. I'm standing at Zayn's locker remembering how often he comes to his locker. I lean against it, my back resting against it. The bell rings indicating we only have a minute until we are tardy. No sign of Zayn yet. I frown my eyes staying in my spot hoping he does come.

   I then see him walking down the hallway. His eyes on his phone. When he gets to his locker finally, after me staring at me because... he's so fine. Honestly. He slips his phone into his pocket before his eyes meet mine. I smile softly before I move out the way of his locker. "Hey Mer. Everything alright?" He asks me softly. I nod before looking over at me him breathing in trying to figure out what I want to say. And how I want to say it.

    "Zayn. It's been a month. I want to be with you. I've missed you so much. So I'm sorry for even leaving you, not that it was a full on break up. I miss you so much. Will you take me back?" I ask quietly. Zayn smiles very softly before he leans down connecting our lips together. I kiss him back, our lips moving together in perfect sync. My arms snake around his neck as we kiss. I then pull away as Zayn rests his forehead against mine. I then place my hands on his chest humming.
