Close Your Eyes

Chocolates and a card

I woke up later that evening, around ten. I sat up and rubbed my head. What the hell was that noise? I got up from my bed and shivered,

My open window cooling my room to an ungodly tempurature.

I walked over and shut it. Zayn must've forgotten to close it when he left. I thought to myself as I walked out of my bedroom. But seriously. What was that noise!?

I decided to ignore it for now as I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I grabbed out an Arizona iced tea, my favorite, along with my mom's. Silly how she named me after a tea, but I could understand her obsession, these things were heaven.

I opened it and took a long drink from it. Leaning back against the counter as I felt warm arms wrap around my waist. I squinted in the dark as their lips found mine and softly kissed me.

I kissed back. Zayn. I guess he hadn't left me tonight after all. I let him lift me off the ground and carry me back Into my bedroom where he laid me on the bed and then assumed his position next to me.

His strong arms gripping me tightly. Just as I was about to fall back asleep I heard him whisper something. Barely audible, but enough for me to understand his words.

"Tick tock, tick tock, look at the clock. Tick tock, tick tock. Soon one of your friends is going to get shocked."

I grimaced but before I could reply I slipped out of consciousness.

I felt bad leaving Ari alone like that. But I got a call from Dylan. And he needed my help.

As I climbed out of her window, silently shutting it as not to wake her, I climbed down the fire escape and made my way down the side walk.

I was too busy texting Dylan back to notice the guy walking towards me, we collided shoulders, making him drop a small box of chocolates and a card.

"Fuck, sorry man I didn't see you there" I said as I bent to help him pick up his belongings but his firm hand gripped my wrist tightly before shoving it away.

"I got it!" He growled at me in his thick gravelly voice. I looked at him confused but then nodded and continued on my way.

There's to many fucking weirdos in this town. I thought to myself before climbing in my truck and starting it.

"Ari, Ari, Ari!" My little brother Maximus called my name while jumping around me on my bed. I peeked an eye open at him before grabbing his ankles, causing him to slip and fall onto his back on my bed.

I tickled him, leaving him rupturing in giggles and pleads to stop. When I finally stopped I looked at him. "What's up Max?"

He got up from my bed "chicken butt!" He screamed before running out of my room.

I shook my head and laughed, looking over to my alarm clock to check the time. I got up and picked up a card from my side table. I opened it and smiled as I read.

'Arizona, sorry I had to leave you, but before I did I thought I'd stop by and give you these on my way out. Would've gotten you the better kind but the gas station was the closest thing to your house.

Love,

Zayn :)'

I put the card down and looked at the chocolates on my side table.

I have such a sweet boyfriend.
