Mia's POV

It's been three days. Three days since Zayn asked 'to get to know me better in my room.' And from then on, he hasn't asked since. He caught on to how I wasn't ready. He knew I needed more time.

Every night, we would part at the top of the stairs as he would give me a quick peck on the cheek good night and that was all.

I liked the sweet gesture but a small part of me was always disappointed.

"Would you rather .. drink a lion's piss or swim in a pool full of anacondas," Zayn asked. We've been playing this 'would you rather' game in the living room for a good half hour now and his questions were so entertaining to answer.

"Your options are horrible," I told him.

"I know. Now choose," he urged like a child.

"Umm...swim in the pool full of anacondas," I answered.

"Are you serious?!" He laughed.

"Well, before I get in the pool, I would throw you in first so you could distract them," I laughed and he stopped, unamused with my counter. "Okay, my turn. Would you rather .. shave the hair on your leg or dye your hair blonde?"

"What? Why is my hair being dragged into this?" He acted outraged, as if someone had just offended him.

"Just answer the question," I impatiently advised.

"Shave my leg hair. At least I could wear jeans to cover my hairless legs," he muttered in slight disgust and imagining the picture of Zayn shaving his leg caused me to burst into laughter. "Is it that funny?"

"Yes," I managed through my laughs.

"Well, fine. Would you rather .. kiss me now or would you rather have me kiss you."

I immediately stopped fooling around.

"What?" I gulped.

"I haven't kissed you since the day I came back and I've been dying to do it," he spoke clearly.

"I - I don't know what to say."

"Just tell me which one," his soft tone hypnotized me as he moved across the couch.

What just happened? We were discussing about lion's piss just moments ago and now the air had suddenly tensed.

"I don't think this is exactly how you kiss someone. Remember, you said a kiss had to be in the right moment," I inched away.

"This is the right moment," he purred as he leaned his head behind my ear. Hold yourself, Mia. Don't let him seduce you like this. "Mia."

Just him calling me by my name was enough to make me surrender. I wanted him. For so long now. But I was afraid. I laid my hands on the each side of his face, placing our foreheads next to each other.

"Zayn," my voice low, my gaze down avoiding his, "I don't know if I'm ready."

"Ready for what?" I could feel his hot breath feathering against my lips.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about."

"We don't have to do that." That as in sex,

I was guessing.

"Yes, but I don't think I'll be able to control myself," I admitted and he let out a sound chuckle.

"You. Lose control? I don't think so."
