Tangled in Love {One Direction Fanfiction}

Chapter 20

Hello lovely readers :)

As you might have noticed, the cover is different (courtesy my amazing bebs Abeerah) :]

So I'm on Chapter 20, wow, I didn't think I could write this far, but it's been loads of fun, and I'm proud of it.

This is an extremely short (but cute, I think) chapter, so don't be disappointed.

I seriously wonder if anyone ever reads these (besides the trio lol) :P

But enjoy this one, and I guarantee that the next chapter'll be epic ;)

SM xx

Zayn's POV

Have you ever felt so shocked/scared/surprised that you freeze on the spot for what seems like ages, but it's only just a second?

Yes, that's what just happened to me, seeing Mel standing at the door.

Lord, she was so effortlessly pretty. Her eyes were sparkling like gems. Her breathtakingly beautiful smile was her best accessory, it.was one of those warm smiles that captured your heart and held it captive. Her blonde hair was braided to the side, a few strands of stray hair flying around.

At that point, all I wanted to do was lean forwards and brush those strands off her face, maybe even caress her cheek in the process. The temptation was so strong that I had to will every nerve of my body to not do that, to just ignore every single one of those overwhelming feelings I felt for Mel.

Maybe that's why I did the awful thing I did next, because I was scared of all these emotions, which shouldn't even exist. It was a split second thing, an impulsive (and totally stupid) thing to do. Looking back on it, I feel like the biggest douchebag ever.

Have you ever wanted to dig a hole and crawl right into it and never come out again?

Yeah, that's exactly how I felt right now.

Because I'm the biggest idiot on the planet. Literally, I'm not even joking.

I opened the door and just saw her for a mere second or two, taking in her breathtaking appearance and that dazzling smile, and out of surprise, and maybe even shock, I quickly slammed the door right in her face.

Yup.

The award for the most idiotic person on Earth goes to...Zayn Malik. Like who even does that?

I turned around and leaned against the door, cursing under my breath. I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh.

Why did I just do that?

Oh god, she probably hates me.

What the hell is she going to tell Liam?

Wait, I just heard her clearing her throat...which means she's still outside.

Should I open the door or not?

Yes you should.

No you shouldn't.

You should apoligize and explain.

You should ignore her and forget about this, it never happened.

Shut up, brain.

I bit my lip, trying to decide what to do. I had promised myself I'd try to control, and eventually forget, my feelings for her. That didn't mean I couldn't be friends with her, right?
