ZERO [ L.T. Fanfiction ]

Chapter 17

Soon we finish eating pizzas and watching movie. We whisper and talk into each other's ears and fall asleep. It's good that now there is a trace of peace around me. I think everything is fine now. Everything is going good.

--

"No. It is important" I hear someone.

It's morning. It's around 8 am. I open my eyes a bit and see Zayn standing by the window. His bare back is in front of me. His tattoos are shining because of the sunlight. To whom is he talking?

"She works so much for you. She has her health on stake for your bloody company. By the way, I've had everything planned and I'm not the one canceling anything." he raises his voice.

Is he talking about me? But to whom? I sit up on the bed with by sleep hair.

"Zayn!" I say in my sleepy voice.

He turns and gives a smile that lights up the whole town. He is still talking on the phone. I am curious. It sounds like he's talking about me.

"okay, that's sounds good. Sure. Bye" he says and ends the phone.

He tosses the phone on the bed and sits on the bed. Gives me a hug.

"Good Morning, sleepy head." he says.

"good mornin-" he interrupts me.

"I know, my mornings are always good because of you. Wake up and get ready now." he says leaving me in puzzle.

"Why? To whom were you talking to? Where are we going? And wait! Why are these luggage bags lying on the floor?" I ask him being too inquisitive.

"Whoa! So many questions?" he laughed.

"they were only 3 or 2" I teased.

"Okay. I was talking to James. Such an asshole he is! You were right. I asked him to permit you for 5 days holidays and he straight away said 'No'. How can he be so mean to his employees. I yelled at him and then he agreed. Idiot." he says, annoyed.

He doesn't know what employees and people having jobs go through because he is his own boss and he has his business. I understand and am happy that he doesn't has to face this.

"5 days holiday! Why?" I ask.

What is he planning to do?

"We are going to Amsterdam. You'll love that place. My best friend and his fiancé lives there. They had invited us to their place long ago but as we didn't get time. We never went. I told him that we are coming and I've already booked the tickets." he says.

I am stunned and shock. My jaw drops and eyebrows meet. I am in the same position since a minute. At least he would have asked me at least.

"What?" I ask out of disbelief.

"Wait, what kind of a reaction is this?" he says looking upset.

"I mean, you should have asked whether I wanted to go or not. All of a sudden, you plan a trip to a different nation without me knowing" I say.

"That means you don't want to come?" he asks.

"It's not that. I want to come but my job. James will fire me." I say.

"No. He'll not. I have talked to him and he has agreed." he says.

"What about Etalie? She suffering in the hospital and we'll enjoy." I say.

"Don't worry, baby. She's alright now. Our flight is at 12:30, she will be discharged from the hospital at 9:00. We will go, meet her, drop her and Liam and leave for the airport. I have planned everything, babe." he says

"That sounds nice. But for how many days are we going to stay in Amsterdam?" I ask.

"we will be there for 3 days. I asked for 5 days' holiday so that you can rest enough before you resume for your work." he says and heart melt.

"Aww. Now, that sounds great. I love you so much and I am very much excited for the trip. Thank you so much." I say and he smiles.

I put my arms around his shoulder and he spins me.

--

"You know, I was so scared that I'll lose my best friend. Idiot, don't even plan on leaving us like this and especially Liam. He was sobbing day and night." I say and hug Etalie.

"Thank you so much to all of you. You all were always there with me and I am so proud to have friends close like a family." she says with tears filled in her eyes.

We are in the hospital, talking to Etalie. She is all well now as Zayn told. She has a plaster around her right arm and has to walk with a stick in her hand.

Meanwhile, Niall pulls out a marker from his pocket and writes something on Etalie's plaster. We take a look, he has written 'Can I smash the head of the driver? BTW Get well soon.'. Looking at this we all burst into laughter. The door swings open and the nurse come in.

"Excuse me. The paperwork is done, she is allowed to go home now. Take care, ma'am." she says and leaves.

We help her get down from the bed and then from the 10th floor. She sits in the car and I give her a last hug. Zayn is talking to Liam about something.

"Did you tell Zayn?" she whispered.

"No, maybe after the trip. I don't know." I say.

"okay. Take your time but makes sure he comes to know through you only." she says and waves me a goodbye.

At a such a time too, she's so advisable and caring. My mind and heart have increased the respect and love for her. I nod. Zayn tells Etalie to take care and wave them bye.
