ZERO [ L.T. Fanfiction ]

Chapter 8

"okay, call me when you get rid of your thoughts" she gets annoyed and starts walking off.

"Sorry. I am having a mere headache. So, I was distracted easily." I say. Rather I lie to her.

I don't tell her anything. I don't want her to think that I am crazy or something. I just ignore my thoughts and pay attention to what she's saying.

"Ohh. I think I should call Zayn and tell him to take you home. As it is your shift is over." she says.

"No. It's okay. I'll call him." I deny.

"Kaira, let me do something for you. I would be happy." she pouts like a baby. I nod and she calls Zayn.

*Hello Zaynie! How are you?*

*Your precious thing is having a headache. Take it home* she giggles.

I swat my head because I agreed to let her call him. She's very naughty.

*Oh yeah. Of course.* she says and ends the call.

"He'll be there in few minutes. He was asking me to take care of you. Sweet, isn't it?" she smirks.

"Shut up, Etti" I say.

She giggles, hugs me and leaves. Zayn arrives in few minutes as he had promised. Throughout the drive to home he was convincing me to see a doctor.

And I, being a stubborn girl, never went. We go home, eat our dinner and cuddle till we fall asleep.

---

My eyes open. The first thing I hear is Zayn's soft snores. I slowly get up without disturbing him and start getting ready to leave for work. I walk into the washroom to take a shower.

I switch on the light but it doesn't light up. I switch it off and flick it on again. This time it lights up with a flicker. It is flickering after every two seconds.

I have a habit of watching myself brushing into the mirror. I take my brush out from the drawer and insert it in my mouth. I start brushing.

As soon as look in the mirror.

I. SEE. HIM. AGAIN.

My heart starts beating fast like a running horse. I can see him clearly through the reflection of the mirror.

I am imagining him again? I am still gazing at that boy. I feel a weird tension in the air. The same blackish t-shirt, jet black skinny jeans. Brunette hair and sitting in the same way.

Jesus Christ.

A loud scream escapes my mouth. I run away from the washroom, straight, towards living room. I hid behind the couch. Zayn wakes up.

"Kaira, are you okay?" he comes out running.

"No. No. There's a cockroach." I lie.

"What? A cockroach? Let me check." he says and walks into the washroom.

"I don't see anything here, honey. It's all fine. Come and see yourself." he says.

Even though I don't have a fear of roaches. I had to pretend. He believes me because generally girls are afraid of insects. I pretend.

I don't want Zayn to think, I am insane. Who the hell was that? People say I daydream a lot. Was that a dream too?

I was awakening but. I just don't know. Was that real? A ghost kinda something? No. No. I don't want to die.

"See. You can have a shower now." Zayn says.

I walk in, showing some courage and bravery. Quickly take a shower and get ready. I take Zayn's car. I love driving his posh car. I have my own too but I prefer Zayn dropping and picking me up. He doesn't mind it too, instead he loves doing that for me.

I reach my office. I hurry up towards my cabin. The receptionist calls for me.

"Miss Kaira, James has called you in his office." she says.

"Okay. I'll be there in a moment." I assure her and walk away.

Now what will he assign me? He says I work well, so he gives me all the important work. How crooked! He always burdens me with work.

Maybe that's why I imagine things.

No. Imagine humans.

Author's note.

Short one. But an interesting one. I have often asked by my readers that why are my chapters small. I prefer to end each chapter with an suspense. So, that's why maybe.

The question which I asked in the last chapter was that whether Kaira will speak to Etalie about her problems.

Unfortunately, each one of you said 'Yes' and the answer was no. Better luck next time.

Question 2: Is person whom Kaira is seeing a real one or her imagination?

Answer this ^^^.
The one right answer will get something SPECIAL.
