DAMAGED (the love begins)

Chapter- 8 Hot Tea

I stand still, unable to move or speak. The air in this room is thick. No one is moving or saying anything.


To my surprise, even Zayn is shocked. Jasmine came few seconds after kody did. She's standing at the door with two Chinese take out bags.


As I make eye contact with Jasmine, I see she has disappointment in her eyes.
Oh no. Don't look at me like that.


I look at the ground. I'm ashamed. I can't even look at kody. God I'm such a slut. Kody asked me to be his girlfriend only an hour ago and soon as he left I was making out with the person who hates me?


"ummm..i can..ex.pla..in" I try to talk but I can.


Sometimes I wish that the ground could swallow me. so I don't have to face situations like these. But it's not my fault that I'm in this situation. Is it?


I mean I'm not the one who called Zayn to make out with me.


But I did like it.


"What're you doing here?" Kody asked Zayn, clearly trying to control his anger.


"I just stop by to say hello" he replied calmly.


How the fuck can you stay calm??


"It was nice to meet you, Laila but I must go now". Oh no. Don't leave me alone.


"You should" kody fired back.


"Very well" and with that he left.


As soon as he left, all eyes were on me.
"Jasmine" kody said "if you don't mind, I'd like to have a word with my girlfriend" he emphasis the word 'my'.


"um sure I'll be outside" and she leaves too.


"What was he doing here?"


"i...he..stopped..by to say...hi" I'm trying to talk but I can't. I feel like a kid who's grandma has caught him stealing cookies.


"gotta love the way he says hi". He say sarcastically. "You do realize you're my girlfriend right? You know what that means? that means that you don't get to kiss or make out with anyone else but me." He screams.


Jeez calm down. He continue to scream but I can't hear him. Everything is starting to get blurry. "ko...kody" with that everything blacked out.


***

My head is dizzy. I can't think straight. I feel like my head will explored. I'm in my bedroom. When I look around the room , I see no sign of Jasmine or Kody.


Thankgod.


I need to talk to Zayn. How can he do this to me. Shit. My life was so much easier before I met him.


I'm starting to question my relationship with Kody. It's only been one day and he was screaming at me like I'm his wife.


I didn't like the way he treated me yesterday. I know I made a mistake but it's not my fault beside this is my first ever proper relationship. I need time.


Today starts our winter break from university. Finally. I've waited so long for this.


I'm probably gonna go to Canada to visit my parents. I've told them a thousand times to mice to London but they never listen. They like they're Canada better. If I compare Canada and England, Id say Canadians are nicer.


Can't wait to go. I really need a break.


My door room opened and Kody came in. Great. He's the last person I wanna see.


"Hey" he said.


"Hi" I reply as I sit up.


"Listen I just have one question" he said.


"Yea"


"Do you like him?"


I sigh " look kody just because I made out with him doesn't mean I like him" I can't tell him that Zayn was forcing himself on me. Would that consider sexual harassment? .


God. Why do I feel like a whore???


"You're right, hey I wanna take you for dinner tonight to make up to you. I shouldn't have screamed or gotten angry. I know it's your first proper relationship and it takes time"



"So you forgive me?" I mumbled.


"Of course. But from now on I want you to be faithful to me. Yeah?"


"Yes" I replied. Feeling like a kid.



"I'll pick you up from the studio today. We're having a dinner" he said.


"umm okay. Sure". he looked at his watch and sigh


"Laila, I'll meet you later. Right now I have to go" he gets up and kisses my forehead. "And I've left the breakfast on the table" he adds while rushing towards the door.


I hear the door close which means he left. I'm pretty sure that Jasmine is not at home right now.


Perfect.


I get out of my bed and change into a overall with a black crop top. I eat my breakfast that kody had made and make my way out the door.


I get into my car and drive to hell. I don't know what will happen but I need to sort out somethings or I'll go crazy.


as I make my way to Zayn's house, I'm nervous. I don't know why but I am. A lot. i stop my car outside his big gates. The initials of his name are written on it in gold. I've never been to his house before but my vocal coach have given me their address incase.


There's a small hut attach to the gates where two security guards stay. One of them came to me and asked who I was then went back to make a call inside to inform Zayn. Wow.


After a few minutest he came back and said "ma'am you can go in" and the other guard opens the door. Wow I didn't think he would let me in.


As I drive in his drive way my heart is in my mouth. Holy shit. His house is really big. Shit


I park my car and as I'm getting out, a butler comes out and greets me.
"Morning ma'am. How are you?"


"umm good, thanks" why you being so formal? it's 2014, chill out bro.


"This way" he leads me the way and tells me to wait in the sitting. As I'm waiting. I look around. His house is really big. I bet 50 million people can fit in it.


"Like it?" I turn around to see his beautiful face.


"I..um..yea"


"I bet you've never seen a house this big before" he replies proudly.


What a bitch. But it's true. I've never. My family isn't that rich or maybe Zayn is really rich.


"Why do you always have to be like that?" I ask angrily.


"Like what?" he smirks.


I will shove this smirk up your ass.
"Like you own everything"


"That's because I do"


"No you don't Malik. just because you're rich doesn't mean you get everything you want" I reply. What the fuck is his problem?


His eyes darkens. "I. Get. Everything. I. Want. Miss Laila Wood". he smiles evilly which sends chill down my spin.


"Refreshments?" he asks. Woah. Change of mood.


"uh no. I'm just hear to talk"


"About?"


"Yesterday" I reply plainly.


"Oh yea, look I..." I cut him off.


"No you listen to me. I don't give a fuck about how you're rich or not but you have no right to touch me or kiss me. I can sue your sorry ass for sexual harassment. You hear that? I'm not some slut that you can play with. I'm warning you, Malik. Don't you ever touch me or...." I'm cut of by a butler bringing tea.


"My apologies" he simply replies.


To my surprise Zayn tells him to leave. After he left he says " you were saying?"


My blood is boiling at this point. Why is he so calm. How is he so calm. Poker face always. "Nothing. I'm done. And don't you dare" I say.


As I turn around to leave I'm stopped by a pull on the belt loop of my overall. What the actual fuck? Did I not tell him not to touch me?


That's it. I turn around and grab the first thing that I can. A cup full of hot tea, and throw the hot tea on his face.
As I look at him, he has his eyes closed, jaw clench as he's trying to calm himself.


That's what you get. I smile in my mind. Point 1 for me. His white dress shirt is stained with tea.


My belt loop is still being pull. As I look down, a branch of a spiky plant is stuck to it.

Shit.


What did I do??

I look back at him and he's glaring at me like he's gonna eat me raw. His eyes are full of anger. Shit.


"I...i.m..so..soo..sorry" he's starts to walk towards me slowing with his hands curled in a ball. I'm dead. "I..didnt know...th...that.....i..mean I thought..... that you...were..."


"Sir"


Thank god.


"What!" he barks as he turns around to face his butler. I take this as a hint and run out of the house.


I quickly get into my car as I hear Zayn call my name. I drive as fast as I can and leave his property.


After a few minutes, I reach Starbucks. Shit that was close. I park my car and go inside to order refreshments. I really need to cool off my mind.


After taking my order, I make my way out to my car when


"Laila".
