Catch My Love

Chapter 24

*Zayn pov*

Yesterday when we arrived to the hotel it was noon and even though we are one hour ahead from Brighton the jet lag hit me...hard. After texting Scarlett for a while I texted her goodbye before shutting my phone and turning on the TV. There was nothing interesting to watch so my mind started doing what it does best, overthink, analyse and think about things more than I should. Ending up in a not so good sleep. As weird as it is being sarcastic, I went on and on thinking about this two weeks without Scarlett, i know this two weeks are not only for me to figure out my feelings for her, but hers too, this is time for her to think what she really wants and decide wether she'll give us a chance. Being honest im worried that whatever she decides will be different from what I want. What if she doesn't want to continue things? Or if she gets bored of me? Or if she starts liking this Ethan guy. Fuck. There's something in me that has changed, I used to not give a crap about this things but when she came into my life she switch on the light and made me see things clearer, better but at the same time all this new feelings like confusion and uncertainty are driving me crazy.

I felt somehow, how can I say it? Jealous, maybe for her going to a party with this guy who she states as an "old friend back from London" . What if he starts hitting on her? I know she is not the kind of girl who goes around skipping from boy to boy but knowing she is naive when it goes to the guys because I've seen it even with me im worried something might happen to her. I know she is with a Mel but she wont be all the time keeping an eye on her.

After I woke up I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I change into some shorts and head to my parents room, yeah they booked one room for me and one for them you know so they can have some husband wife quality time. They were already dressed up and my mom was getting ready her purse and my dad was counting the cash from his wallet, casual i thought

"Finally you woke up honey! We were about to go down for breakfast, wanna join us?" my mom ask with a huge smile in her face

"Yeah Im starving" I say and open the room door. I make sure I have my room key in my pocket for later to take a shower and get changed

"Of course you are! Its almost noon" My father says taking my mothers hand

We go down the elevator to the lobby where there's a hallway that leads to the dinning room. We sit in a table close the window where you can see outside the street people walking in all directions. I order scrambled eggs, pancakes with syrup, a bowl of cereal and chocolate. As I said I am starving. We have a descent breakfast, mostly we spent it talking about our plans today. My parent want to go to the history museum but hell im not going. I just free myself from two weeks of school not to see anything to do with history and shit. Uh uh, I will find my way around here and go shopping or something.

"Uh I will let you both go to the museum im not going, I'll go to buy clothes or something instead. Enjoy your evening" I say getting up from my chair. I can see my mom is disappointed because this is supposed to be family bonding time but we can bond some other time not today, not in a history museum.

"Mom we will make a plan some other day dont worry we have two weeks to be together okay I want to get to know this place" I finally say before going to my room. In the elevator there is a girl my age with her i guess younger brother. She smiles at me and I give her a nod. When I get to my room i check my phone and I have a message from Scarlett

*Morning. How did you sleep?*

I remember texting her last night

*Hey Scar. I didn't slept good, you?* I text her

She is online. While she text me back I see her profile picture and its a photo of her with Mel, it looks kind of old but she looks beautiful in it.
