Till Life Do Us Part (A Zauren Love Story)

Part Fifteen: Cold Hands, Warm Heart

Lauren's POV:

I hang up the phone call with Camila and laid to my bed thinking, Camila wanted me to tell Harry about Jack and what he did to me, but I can't see the reason, I mean it doesn't matter if I told him or not, he won't change anything, my pain won't fade away and I will never be able to forget, the past is the past, I don't live there anymore, I'm starting a new life and I'm planning on making it better than the old one.. my eyes grew heavy and I closed them and fell onto a deep sleep..

the terrible nightmare came again and I woke up breathing rapidly,, my body was covered with sweat, I looked around me and saw that I'm still here in Harry's room, I was safe and warm in the comfortable bed, not as I saw myself in the nightmare..

I got up and took a shower, I looked at the clock, it was seven in the morning, I'm sure that no body is awake right now, I grabbed my jacket and put it on, I went downstairs and walked to the kitchen, my eyes fell into Zayn's figure standing by the window and staring at the sky, I cleared my throat and he turned his face at me and smiled

"good morning" I said returning the smile back

"good morning.. you're up early!" he said as he looked to his watch

"yeah.. I had a bad dream and couldn't go back to sleep.. " I answered as I made myself some coffee

he turned his gaze back to the window "the weather seems amazing, wanna join me in a morning walk?" Zayn asked and I looked at him again

"sure.. if you don't mind!" I answered in excitement and he chuckled "not if you have something more interesting to do in this early morning.."

"well, I think a morning walk is more intresting than drinking coffee and staring into four blank walls" I said sarcastically and we both laughed

"do you have something else to wear? I mean.. the morning air is a lil bit cold and I don't want you to get sick.." he said and I looked at the ground and scratched the back of my neck

"actually No, I don't.. but don't worry, I'll be fi.." before I complete my sentence Zayn was taking off the hoodie he was wearing, "here, wear this, it will make you feel warm.." he handed it to me and I looked at his hand, my eyes traveled automatically to his chest and to his toned chest that scattered with tattoos, his perfect body was a big distract and I couldn't look away. my face turned red as Zayn saw me staring into his bare chest and he chuckled, I took the hoodie quickly from his hand  "thank you so much.." I smiled at him and he smiled back "no need.. wait a minute, I'll get something else to wear.." he headed to his room but before he got on the stairs he turned his face at me and said "you know? you're so cute when you're blushing.." he grinned causing me to blush even more "you're gonna catch a cold if you stayed like this." I said dropping the subject and avoiding the awkwardness that started filling the room

as he disappeared from my view I took the jacket off and slipped on the hoodie that Zayn gave to me, it was really baggy on me and it hung loosely around my neck,  it smelled cigarettes and perfume and it was so warm, I couldn't help but to smile and inhale deeply.

"are you ready?" Zayn asked and I nodded now he was wearing a red hoodie, still sexy.. oh god, what I'm saying? he's my brother's best friend! why would I think about him in this way! "come on, let's go...and by the way, the hoodie looks better on you than me" he added and winked to me, I smiled nervously ,he's not helping at all, why he's being so sexy and cute? No.. that should stop..I shook those thoughts out and walked to the door with Zayn

"where are we going?" I asked as I walked with Zayn, we were heading to the woods that surrounded the house

"just follow me, you won't regret it.." he smiled at me and I felt my heart melting, his smile was beyond perfection.. I followed him as we walked through the high tress, the sound of the birds chirping filled our ears, the cold air hitting our faces and making us shiver but in a good way, the sun sending its rays of warm down on us. we walked for 10 minutes before Zayn turned his face at me "I'll show you my favorite place here.." he said as he held my hand and pulled me with him..
