When I start to wake up, I feel my hand in something soft and my body is too warm. Zayn is cuddling me and my hand is tangled in his soft hair. He looks so peaceful when he doesn't have a scowl on his face.
I try to get up but his arm tightens around me.
"Don't."
"Zayn, I have to get up."
"Intimacy scares you, doesn't it?" He whispers, peeking one eye open.
"You're pretty sharp in the mornings, aren't you?" I say, trying to pull away.
"If you're gonna be my 'girlfriend', you're gonna have to get used to me touching you in a non-sexual way."
"Looks like you're back to normal. I get that."
"Do you?"
"Yes, Zayn. I get it." I say, sliding off the bed and going to the bathroom. Zayn slowly follows me and wraps his arms around my waist.
"You know there's no one here to see us, right?"
"Yes but people will notice if you're uncomfortable around me so we need to practice in private too." He says, gripping me tighter.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you? Making me uncomfortable?"
"I'd be lying if I say no. It's weird being able to actually teach you something, since you're such a smartass."
"Gee thanks Zayn. It's a wonder how you get any girl to come home with you." I roll my eyes at him and his stupid smirk.
"I don't do much talking with them. How's your shoulder?"
"I've had worse. It hurts a little but nothing too bad. Now c'mon and get ready."
After I get ready, I text the other boys to meet up in my room. The boys, girls and Diana come to my room.
"So what was that yesterday?" Louis questions.
"It seems someone has a hit on you."
"A hit?" Diana asks.
"Like a target. Someone is trying to kill you." Jamal answers.
"But why would anyone want to kill us?" asks Liam.
"No one is trying to kill you. Someone is trying to kill Harry." I say. Everyone looks at Harry. He seems oddly calm.
"And by the expression on your face, you already knew. How?" I ask.
"You're not the only one with connections." He gives me a look and I feel like he sees right through me, like he knows exactly what I am and what I've done. "Someone anonymously told me there was a threat against my life."
"Harry, why didn't you tell us this before?! I mean Jesus man, look at Niall!" Louis yells.
Niall has been sitting quietly off to the side. He has purple bags under his eyes and his hair is unkempt. The poor thing looks a complete mess. Brooke is holding his hands and cradling his head against her chest.
"I was told not to tell anyone or you guys would pay for it. I didn't want to put you guys in any unnecessary danger." Harry says looking at his hands.
"Yesterday wasn't your fault Harry. Those hitmen attacked to send a message; whomever put the hit on you means business. For that reason, I've told Paul to tighten security and place you all with more guards."
"For how long?" Rosie inquires.
"Just until we can find out who's behind the threat. There's no telling how long it will take though. We're starting from square one and we don't have a lot to go off of." I state.
