Slowly Falling

Chapter 10

{Zayn}

I'm glad it wasn't awkward between Perrie and I. I'd hate it to be. She's the one girl I can express my feelings too, and if I couldn't do that, I'd feel shut in. Friday came round soon enough, and Perrie headed off with Jade to get ready. I went home, jumped in the shower and washed my hair, before getting dressed. 

I wore a plain black pair of cashmere trousers, with a plain white button down shirt, the buttons only done up half way, showing part of my chest. I wore a black blazer over the top of my shirt, open, loosing hanging down my side. And to finish off the outfit, I wore a pair of polished black brogues on my feet. 

I brushed my hair up into it's usual style and added some gel, before spraying myself with the aftershave that Perrie adores on me. I smiled at myself in the mirror, flattening out my collar on my blazer, before grabbed my keys, and phone. I went to pick up my box of joints, and then remembered. I sighed. 

"I can go without them for one night" I mumbled to myself, before picking up my normal smokes and shoving them in my pocket. 

I drove to Jade's, and as I turned into her road, I could already hear the music blasting away. I parked up, in the nearest parking space, as there were already so many people there, making it hard to park outside Jade's house. I pulled up, and walked in slowly, getting whispers from a few drunk girls on the way. 

The door was open, so I headed in and looked around for someone I knew, preferably Perrie. I walked around, and spotted Jade. She was wearing a mint green, tight top and flowy bottom dress with her long brown hair in a loose curl. I tapped on her shoulder and she turned and smiled at me. 

"Hey" she shouted, as it was hard to hear over the loud thumping music. 

"Hey, how are you?" I shouted back.

"I'm okay, you just got here?" she responded. 

"Yeah, about five minutes ago" I answered. "Where's Pez?" 

"She's around somewhere" Jade replied, before turning back to the people she was talking to before. I walked around, upstairs and down, looking for Perrie, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I grabbed a drink and went outside for a quick smoke. 

Once I'd finished, I headed back in and continued trying to find Perrie. Eventually, I found her, and damn she looked so beautiful. She was wearing a sexy skin tight black dress with black high heeled shoes, and her long blonde hair was straightened and flowed loosely down her back. She was wearing light, natural face makeup, with a bright stand out purple lipstick. I walked over to her and she spotted me. 

"Holy hotness" I said and she rolled her eyes at me. 

"You like?" she said, giving a little twirl. I nodded and smirked and she came over and French-style kissed my cheek. I so desperately wanted to grab her and make out with her, right there and then, but I knew I couldn't. 

"I'm gonna go grab another drink, you coming?" I said in her ear. She nodded and held my hand, which made me smile. We both walked over to the drinks table and I grabbed a double vodka and coke. Perrie picked up a large dry martini. 

"I thought you wasn't gonna drink tonight?" I raised my eyebrow. 

"I'm sticking to what I said. I said I wasn't going to have one single drink tonight. This is a double, not a single. I don't lie Zayn" I shook my head and laughed and she chuckled also. 

"Do you wanna dance?" I said, as a slow song came on and most of the couples in the room were dancing. 

"We're not a couple anymore Zayn" she said.
