Bands Apart [On Hold]

14. Admission

Perrie's P.O.V.

After the most heart stopping, bitter sweet moment I've ever had, me and Zayn retreated away from the beautiful fish, and into the cabin so Mr. Gwendolph could drive us back to shore. 

In the past couple of minutes it had grown colder out, and I was shivering uncontrollably now even though Zayn had me engulfed in his warm arms. I was still happy though. So happy I felt like spinning, and dancing around the boat as I sang at the top of my lungs. The butterflies in my stomach were undeniable, and the way my heart swelled for him was evident. 

As Gus said to Hazel in The Fault In Our Stars, love is just a shout into the void, but for me it was about to become a shout out to the world. I didn't care anymore about the potential threat of angry managers, bad publicity, loosing fans, or having my friends mad at me because he made me feel a contentment and happiness that I've never felt before. 

When the boat pulled back into the dock I couldn't help but grin uncontrollably as Zayn placed another soft kiss on my mouth prior to lifting me off the boat and saying thank you to Mr. Gwendolph. 

Once we had done that we both rushed back to the car, and nestled into the seats as he blasted heat before pulling out onto the road. 

For the whole drive back the two of us joked back, and forth with playful insults in between. Then our conversation took on a deep theme as we began to talk about our beliefs, and our opinions on things. 

Even then it was still a light hearted, relaxing conversation that at some points made me laugh until my stomach hurt. 

By the time we got back to the hotel though most of the ache had faded, and I managed to keep my giggles under control. 

"Here we are." Zayn sighed pulling up on the side of the building where no one could see him, and I sighed with a smile as I laid back in my chair. 

''I really wish we weren't." I admitted looking over at him, and he reached out a hand to stroke my cheek as he nodded. 

"I agree, but I promise we'll do this again." He assured before unbuckling himself, and leaning over to press a soft series of kisses over my face then a sweet one on my lips. 

"Sleep well tonight my beautiful Perrie, I shall think of you in my dreams." He said making me laugh. 

"William Shakespeare would have a field day with you." I teased as I kissed his cheek then unbuckled myself. The last thing I wanted to do was leave, especially now, but I know that if I didn't go back I wasn't going to get any sleep and when your in a successful girl group sleep is essential to maintain a focused mind set. 

"I would like to think so." Zayn shrugged, giving me that sappy smile as I kicked my door open.

 "Sure love." I said, then slipping out of the car, but not before kissing him one last time. I then closed the door behind me, and waved as he pulled away and with in moments was out of sight.

 Sighing happily as I sunk into cloud 9, I made my way back into the warm vicinity of the hotel as I began to feel admittingly tired. Inside there was only one person behind the desk who paid no attention to me as I walked by, and personally I was grateful because I didn't want to draw any attention to myself at such a late hour.
