-Zayn’s POV-

Quite a party I must say, the more I get to know about Hannah the more I love her. She likes chilling with a few people, not too many of them, she liked to drink a little and dance more.  She was a beautiful hostess; she did not leave even one of us unattended.She flew from person to person, chatting, refilling drinks, plates of food.

It was like she was all prepped up to be a socialite, and I tell you she’d be awesome. The party got over quite early; Melissa had an appointment with her EdTech counselor the next morning, Aaron had to drive her home, Cole had to go meet his girlfriend because he promised her he would, and Sean had to go chill with a friend who was leaving the state tomorrow.

So around 11 o’clock it was just the two of us. As Hannah shut the front door after seeing Cole’s car roll off the driveway, I gently spun her around so she was facing me, her back against the door. “I love you” I whispered against her lips before bending further and pressing them against hers.

Her hands reached up to my shoulders, pushing me against her; pushing her against the wall. “More than you know” she said after we broke the kiss. I smiled down at her, her fingers brushing against my bottom lip, “So, what do you wanna do now?” I asked her, honestly I would go skydiving with her if that’s what she felt like doing.

“ Can we go to that cliff?” she said softly, like she was asking me to share my secrets with her. I smiled down at her, “Lets go” I said, lacing my fingers with hers and opening the front door.  I opened the door on the passenger side for her to get in and then semi-jogged to the drivers’ side.

I put the car in reverse and eased out of the driveway. “How come you don’t drive much?” I asked her, placing my hand in hers against her thigh. “I –uh, no reason I guess I just don’t like to that often” she said sheepishly, “My parents did get me a car last year on my birthday but I hardly ever use it, just when my friends can’t drive me home or Niall isn’t there.” I laughed softly, “Aren’t you something different?”  I said. She laughed, rolling her eyes.

“Which car do you have though?” I asked her curiously. “ A black Jetta, her names Suzie” I whipped my head around to see if she was kidding. Luckily we were at a STOP sign. “What, you haven’t named your ca- sorry I forget that it’s a Baker thing” she said, lightly smacking the side of her head.

“Baker thing?” I prodded her. “Um, my father just thinks that it’s thoughtful to name a car, I mean people adore their cars so why not name it?” she said matter-of-factly, “I mean, what would you name your car if you had to?” she asked me. “Lets see, I’d name it…Edward, and no I don’t have a reason, it just the first name that popped into my head.” She looked at me and rolled her eyes again and looked outside the window.

We covered the rest of the way in a warm, comfortable silence. We pulled up at the base of the cliff after around 15 minutes.  After reaching the top of the cliff, we settled down between two rocks, my legs in front of me against the rocks, her between my legs, a shield for her, her back against my chest.

I tilted my face so my nose was pressed into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent. My arms were wrapped around her, keeping her warm. “Zayn, can I ask you something? I mean if you don’t want to tell me its fine, but if you can, will you?” she said after a while, her voice barely audible.

“I’ll tell you everything you want.” I said, tightening my grip around her. “When you were sleeping over last week, you had a nightmare. And honestly it scared me a little because you were so scared baby. Zayn, I hated seeing you that way. I can’t stop thinking about it.” Her eyes looked panicked and full of worry “I mean if you can’t tell me its fine, but please I’m always there for you” she said, twisting around so that she was sitting on my thigh. I folded my legs together so that she could sit more comfortably in my lap.

She placed her hands on my face as I took a deep, shaky breath. “I love you Zayn, and if you have demons in your head, I swear I may look small but I will kick their fucking asses, because no one messes with a Baker.” She said, her eyes bright. I turned my face into her hand, kissing her palm. “Okay, here goes” I said and told her every single thing that happened that night in London.
