Catch My Love

Chapter 41

*Zayn pov*

Having Scarlett in my arms gives me some type of reassurance on how strong we are more than I thought. When she left me, not theoretically at the party I thought she was entirely done with me, I thought she had given up on trying to have a relationship for me due to how bad labelled she have the girlfriend-boyfriend thing, all I want right now is to make her happy, to see her enjoy us being together and to let herself love and be loved, to not be afraid of being committed to someone

I haven’t left her side since this morning, feeling like I need to touch her or she’s going to fade away, she haven’t complained so It gives me the chance to hold her hand and hug her every time I please. We´re in our Biology class with Mr Ayres, who is giving us an explanation about DNA and genetics, I moved my chair closer to Scarlett so now her head is on my shoulder as we both hear the teacher talk, Im holding her hand tightly as I trace small circles with my thumb on the back of her hand.

“Do you mind telling me what’s the accurate definition for DNA, Miss Rowe?” The teacher asks Scarlett, She sits up straight clearing her throat

“Deo xyribo - nucleic acid, a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the cell and is capable of self-replication” She smiles proudly for remembering the full definition, She lost me in ´Deo…´

“Well done, now class open your books in page 231, you´ll work in partners” I look at Scar and she is already taking the book of her bag

“I guess you don’t have a book so we´ll use mine” She says smiling, placing the book between our desks

“You know me well” I wink and kiss her cheek

The 35 minutes left of this class are spent by me reading out loud what the text book says and Scarlett telling me to stop and repeat the important things about genetics, its fun to work with her and she Is really smart so we both make a good job working together

As we make our way out of the room, I enter the bathroom while Scarlett goes to her locker to grab her next class notebook. As im washing my hands, fucking Jared enters the bathroom, the same bathroom out of other fifteen bathrooms in this building.

“Hey man” He greets me

I take a deep breathe “Hey” I say flatly

“So you’re back with Scar?” He asks

“It’s none of your business but yes” I walk to the drier to dry my hands, he is standing behind me

“Look man, Im sorry about what happened at the party..” I cut him off as I turn to look at him

“I don’t know what’s that you want from being a dick to Scarlett to wanting to be her friend, whatever change you are making make sure you don’t make a fucking move on my girlfriend or I swear I´ll kill you” I say angrily, my chest is moving rapidly and im trying to control my senses for his own sake

“I wouldn’t make a move on her; I know she is with you. She is only giving me an opportunity to change my old self” He walk to the urinals so now he’s back is facing me

“You better not lose the opportunity, or else I´ll break your face, Scarlett is too good for your friendship and I won’t let you fuck her up”

“I won’t, god do you want my pinky promise? You need to learn to trust her” He speaks up

“You´re such an idiot, I trust her, it’s you who I don’t trust” I say

“Trust me, I don’t like her like that, shes my friend that’s it” He shrugs

“You better don’t” I open the door and rush out of the bathroom, away from that jerk. I walk quickly to find Scarlett but once again im stopped by someone I don’t want to see
