Talking To The Moon [z.m.]

22: I Hate This Part

Zayn's POV

Dakota didn't answer, which made me nervous and anxious. Why won't she say yes? We've been dating for basically five months now and I wanted to take the next step in our relationship next.

We got along and she was nice, something I didn't expect from someone as attractive as her. She seemed like the bitchy type but she had changed my view on her.

"Well?" I asked, wanting an answer from her now.

"Zayn," she breathed. "As much as I'd like to move in with you, I like how things are going with us right now and I don't want to rush into something that we might not be ready for. I really like you, but I feel like we should wait before we make any permanent decisions."

I sighed, taking my hands in my face and leaving against the steering wheel of my car. I didn't know how to take her response.

"I'm sorry." She apologized again.

"Are you mad?"

Was I mad?

I was pretty fucking pissed because things have been going so great with her but if she wanted to wait, then I would. I couldn't force her into anything. I knew how it felt to be forced into something you didn't want.

"No," I said, taking my face away from my hands and turning my head to face her. "No, I'm not mad. Just shocked, I guess."

"I get that things have been going great with our relationship but I don't want to move in just for the sake that you want to stay away from Faith. I want you to want to because you really do and-"

"But I'm not suggesting it because I want to stay from Faith." I argued. "I really do want to move in with you."

"And we will," she pressed her hand to my cheek. "When we're ready."

I sighed, knowing that I wasn't going to change her mind. She was stubborn as well, like someone else I know and it fucking exhausted me but I found ways to get over it by taking deep breaths until I calmed down.

"Whatever you say." I said before leaning in to kiss her.

Faith's POV

After Zayn and his girlfriend had left, everyone had kept quiet and had their eyes on me.

At the moment I didn't know what to do. Not just now, but with everything that's been going on. Zayn was being difficult and had once again left pissed off but I didn't care.

As long as Alex hadn't seen him like that, he could be all pissed as he wanted as long as it wasn't here.

And how could he just assume that there was something going on with me and Louis? I know it seemed that way by the way we entered the living room but he should know better than think that I'd immediately date one of his close friends.

I wasn't planning on dating anyone to be honest. Love sucked and it made your heart hurt and I didn't want any more pain inside me anymore.

All that I wanted was to get my degree in Uni and start building a life with Alex and only Alex.

If my friends wanted to be a part of our lives then they could join, but I wasn't planning on Zayn being here as long as they would.

He had a girlfriend now and had started a new relationship with someone who wasn't me. And as much as it hurt me, I knew that that was the best choice for the both of us.

The only thing that mattered to him that had to do with me was Alex and nothing else. I would allow him to continue seeing him because I didn't want Alex to grow up without a dad but that would be it for Zayn.
