Cinderella (Book 1 in the Fairy tail series)

Chapter 8

The room had gone silent as everyone waited my answer. I looked at Zayn and he smiled at me, he was nice, sweet, and clean, made me laugh and could sing. The only thing that I didn’t like was the eyes, they reminded me of what happened in the ally…but I’d get over that…right?

“Yes.” I said and kissed him again. The boys whistled and clapped again. When we broke apart I looked around the room and saw that Liam had left. I frowned and shook it off; he liked me as a friend…no more, no less. I smiled at my boyfriend as we walked into the lounge room and put on a movie. About half way through Liam walked back in and smiled a fake happy smile.

“Danielle and I are back together!” he said excitedly. I could tell that there was something wrong, but didn’t think about it.

“Congrats!” I said smiling up at him. His normally sparkling brown eyes had lost their sparkle.

“Thank you.” He said and sat down across the room, next to Harry. I buried my head in Zayn’s shoulder and closed my eyes.

*One Month Later*

I woke in Zayn’s arms as normal, they never felt perfect though. They were comfy, but not perfect. Every time he looked me in the eye I would still flinch or get scared, especially if it was at night or in the morning when I woke up. Liam and Danielle were going good, I meet her once but didn’t like her much. Every time I’d go to talk to Liam, she’d take his attention off me and make him put all of it on her. I climbed out of the bed and looked at myself in Zayn’s mirror. My hair was at my waist, I had meat on my bones now and I seemed happier. My PJs consisted of long pink pants and a white long sleeved top with a black Eiffel tower on it.

Zayn and I hadn’t done….that. We’ve made out and things have gotten close, but every time he’d look me in the eye, I’d remember the ally and push him off. He would say that it doesn’t matter, but I could tell that he was getting annoyed.

I grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans and a green top and walked into the bathroom. Once I was washed and dressed I walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen for breakfast.

“What have you got planned for today babe?” Zayn asked.

“I’ve got to go shopping, then I might go and see Lou.” I said knowing that all that will take up my day. Zayn nodded as I sat down with my bowl of cereal. “How about you?” I asked.

“I might stay in and watch a movie.” He said smiling. I nodded, finished eating, washed the bowel out, grabbed my keys and phone and walked out.

 When I arrived at the grocery shop heaps of girls surrounded me asking for pictures or autographs, some even asked for the boys’ numbers. Security ended up having to escort me out. I wasn’t very happy, I had no food and I needed something for lunch. When I arrived at the complex I went straight to Larry’s apartment. I had gotten keys to each of the boy’s apartments two weeks ago, I insisted that I didn’t need them but the boys insisted that I did. I unlocked the door and walked in.

“Louis!!” I yelled and my crazy but yet somehow cute friend appeared in front of me with open arms.

“ANNA!!” he yelled and pulled me in for a huge hug, like I hadn’t seen him in over three years.

“Louis! I only saw you yesterday!” I exclaimed as he pulled away. He gave me a cheeky smile and winked while linking my arm in his and he led me into the kitchen where Hazza was running around stirring things in different pots.

“Hey Anna! Just cooking lunch and dinner.” He said cheerily. I smiled and sat on Louis’s lap while Harry continued to run around.

“You get to meet Eleanor tomorrow!” Louis exclaimed excitedly.

It was six when I decided that I’d best be getting back to Zayn. Louis gave me another bone crushing hug and told me to dress nicely for Eleanor. Harry kissed my cheek and said goodbye. I was smiling the whole way back to Zayn’s apartment. I opened the door and saw Zayn sitting on the lounge watching a movie, just as he said he would. I walked over and kissed his cheek.

“Hello babe.” I said sitting next to him and he wrapped his arm around me and kissed the top of my forehead.

“Missed you.” He said with an undertone in his smooth voice which I ignored
