Let Me Be Your Wings (Butterflies Sequel)

Chapter 3

                                                             -Arianna-

I pick up my phone and unlock the new text. It's from Zayn, inviting me to go to Modest today so I can meet some people in the music business here in London. I immediately respond to him with a smiley face and a 'yes'. Then I slouch off the couch and drain the rest of my orange juice from my cup on the kitchen table. Once I'm in my room, I head over to my full suitcase and pick out a pair of jean shorts and a t-shirt that looks a bit worn and has the American flag on it. I throw on a black crop jacket with zippered pockets. I pull out blue wedges and slip them on. In the bathroom, I twist my hair into to  twp buns and weave a snake braid along my hair line on the right side. Once I feel ready and I have my makeup on, I grab my purse, phone and sunglasses off the table by the door. I text Zayn that I'm on my way and smile as I fly through the London streets.

I can't wait to see Zayn again, even though I saw him last night. He makes me so happy and every time I see him I get these butterflies...I can't believe he's mine. Already mine and I met him just weeks ago!

I park in front of the big building and my eyebrows immediately crease. How am I supposed to know where to go?  I open the door and step out of the car, looking up at the sign. Suddenly, hands wrap around my eyes. Soft hands. And the sexy smooth chuckle can't be mistaken. 

"Zayn!" I whirl around and wrap my arms around his neck. He chuckles again and leans closer to me, eyes sparkling. 

"Hey baby" he whispers, pressing his soft, full lips to mine. I grin widely and snuggle into his neck.

"What are you smiling at?" He asks, turning his head in curiousity. I put my hand on his cheek and kiss him again.

"Because I'm so happy to be...right here." Zayn smiles widely and grabs me around the waist and lifts me over his shoulder. I giggle and scream as he twirls me around.

"Put me dowwwwwn!" I yell. He laughs and sets me back down on the asphault. He pushes a stray hair behind my ear and looks into my eyes.

"I am too, love." He says sweetly. Then he takes my hand, gently kissing it. "Let's tour Modest shall we?" I nod and follow him into the lobby.

                                                                       ***

"And this is Simon Cowell!" Zayn intorduces, leading me over to a tall guy with short brown hair. I smile and shake his hand.

"It's nice to meet you..." he begins.

"Arianna Williams!" I fill in for him. He nods and smiles. Zayn steps forward and gives him a hug.

"Hey Uncle Si" he says. I smile at the interaction. On the inside, I can't believe I've just met the Simon Cowell. Simon invites us into his office and we agree, sitting down in two plush grey chairs.

"So how did you meet Arianna, then Zayn?" Simon asks, clasping his hands and smiling at us. I look at Zayn and he blushes. I laugh and Zayn runs a hand through his hair.

"I um, tried to take a bagel from her at Nickolodeon." He says, smirking. Simon laughs,

"Oh, so it was one of those things. I see." Then he turns to look at me, "So Arianna, are you an artist yourself?" He asks. I grin and tell him about my new album that I'm working on. He nods and we chat a bit more before he says,

"Well it's been lovely meeting you. I'll listen for your song on Radio 1." I laugh and hug him goobye. He shakes hands with Zayn and leads us into the hall, where we part ways. He has a meeting and Zayn and I want to go get lunch. As we're walking into the elevator, a blonde girl with blue eyes and curled hair comes hurrying over. She's wearing a white sweater over a black collared tee. She has black shorts on and beige heels. 

"Oh, will you hold that for me please?" She calls as she approaches. I smile and put out my hand to stop the door from sliding shut. She sighs and steps inside.

"Thank you so much!" She pushes the button for the first floor as well and looks at us. "Oh my gosh! Zayn! Hello!" She grins widely and reaches out to hug him. I look curiously at Zayn, whos jaw is clenched.

"Hello, Perrie." He mumbles, hugging back rigidly. She steps back and glances at me before hooking her arm through his and leaning in to him.

"How are you?! I've missed you!" She says, patting his cheek. He tries to untangle his arm from her's and rolls his eyes at me. 

"I've been on tour and recording my new album, Perrie. You knew that." He says curtly. Her smile barely falters.

"Oh of course, how are you feeling about what you've gotten done with the new album so far?" She urges. He sighs.

"I really like it." then he glances at me and smiles widely, "Can I introduce you to someone Perrie?" He adds. She looks at me with a weird look, almost as though she was checking me out. I wave at her. She nods at Zayn, who wraps his free arm around me.

"This is my lovely girlfriend, Arianna." He says with a smile. My heart flutters when he says that. He's such a flatterer. Not that I mind. Now Perrie's smile falters. She glares at Zayn, who shrugs. Perrie lets go of Zayn's arm and steps toward the doors of the elevator, which has just arrived on the first floor. She stalks out and over to a door across from the reception desk, slamming it behind her. I look after her, startled by her actions.

"What was that about?" I question. Zayn closes his crystal-clear hazel eyes and takes a deep breath. 

"That was Perrie. My ex-girlfriend who doesn't want it to be over. As you can probably tell, I'm glad I ended it. She was a piece of work." He grabs my hand and we continue out to the car. I laugh at his peeved expression,

"It's alright, love, I understand!" I tell him, glancing back into the lobby as I start my car. He puts on his seatbelt and shakes his head.

"No, it's not okay. I can't believe she was so rude to you. I'm sorry!" I scoff and lean over to kiss his cheek before pulling out of my parking spot. I love how much of a gentleman he is.

"Babe, I'd be jealous if I was in her position too. I mean look at you!" He laughs and luckily the tension is released.
