More Than This : Chapter 14 : Catch me

Author's 1st note: This is just short! I promise! So, yeah skip the video to 0:35 ;) that's all! Enjoy reading!

It's been a month and my album that should have been released already wasn't released yet. I really wanted to release it already, but I figured out to improve it a little more, I didn't want to dissapoint my fans and I was also planning to write a song for my fans for their patience on waiting for my album.

It's was a Saturday afternoon and I was alone at the recording studio, waiting for Niall. He wanted to take me out to eat outside, but then I told him that I'd be hanging out at the recording studio. So instead of going out to grab some food, he suggested for us to have a picnic on the studio. Thinking of it as a better idea, I agreed and told him, yes. 

While waiting for him to arrive, I decided to turn on the speaker and plug on my phone to play karaoke tracks from my phone. I took my phone and searched for a song. After flipping and scanning on my phone I stopped at Mariah Carey's Emotions, I clicked it and it started playing. Once the first stanza started, I grabbed the microphone and sang my heart out to the track.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Atlast I arrived at the place where Niall told me to go, I didn't know why I was here, If I didn't love that blonde leprechaun, I swear I wouldn't have come here, but since I do, well I ended up to be here. I was actually planning on meeting up Perri a few hours, but then Niall suddenly asked a favor, for me to go with him somewhere.

2 hours ago

"Zayn!" Niall said, as he got out of the bathroom, looking at the mirror, blow drying his hair.

"Yeah?" I replied as I was texting with Perri.

"I was just wondering - do you have any plans for today?" he said, turning my blow dryer off.

"Uh... Actually I was planning to -" I was about to say that I planned on hanging out with Perri, when he suddenly cut me off.

"Come with me please?!" he shouted, coming from the other room.

"Was that a question or a demand and where?" I said, as my brows furrowed. What was he up to again?

"A demand actually, because even though I ask you and you say no, you'll still have to come with me and  the place we're going to is a recording studio." he replied, going out of the room fully dressed. Now, now, now. What's the occasion? Niall don't usually dress-up like this.

"A recording studio? What are we goint to do on a recording studio? Oh and why are you all dressed up like that? What's the occasion?" I asked him, confused with everything he said.

"You see, I asked Ari to eat dinner with me, but she had plans on hanging out on her recording studio, so I've decided to have a picnic with her there." he said, as he looked at the mirror for the last time.

"Okay - but why do I have to come? Wouldn't that ruin your date with her?" I asked him. 

"You see, I wanted to surprise her and I don't have that much time already, so I want you to go to her studio first and tell her that I was still buying us dinner." he explained. 

I looked on the floor and thought about it. 

"Come on Zayn! Please! I'll buy your dinner!" he said.

"Niall, i'm not like you. You can't give me food for me to come with you." I said, just messing around with him.

"Come on! Okay then I'll, I'll - I'll buy you a - The complete series of Family Guy! Oh! oh! and I'll by you chicken!" he said, while I looked at him surprisingly. I was actually just kidding when I said that I won't come with him, but then, he just offered something that I've been dying to have. So, I stood up and walked towards him.

I handed my hand and told him, "You've got a deal!" 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was about to sing the start of the bridge, when all of a sudden I saw someone slid inside the room, which caused me to stop singing. 

"Hello? Who's there?" I said out loud, causing the speakers to release a loud voice, which was me byt the way. Once I realized the mic was still on, I moved away from it, walked towards the door taking a peek on who was outside the recording room. 

I saw no one. That was strange, I was really sure that someone went in. Once I thought about that I might  only have imagined it, I shrugged and turned away the door.

Once I was near the microphone, someone from the back tapped my shoulder. I turned around seeing someone -  Boo! 

Terrified, I was about to fall on the ground when he catched me. I looked into his eyes, those beautiful eyes that I have been secretly admiring for the past few years were in front of me. Yes! I do fangirl and it's  totally normal if you're a girl.

"Ari, I'm so so sorry about that - are you okay?" 

I didn't know what to say, I was too lost in his eyes to speak. 

"I, I, - I mean, It's just okay, I'm - totally fine." I said, still surprised at the moment. I was actually not fine, I was 89% close  from passing out.

Once I regained myself, I broke off our gaze and stood up. I asked him, "Why are you here?" 

"Well, Niall told me to come here to tell you that he's still buying food for dinner and since he didn't want you to get bored while waiting for him, he sent me here." he said, looking at me in reply.

"Oh, that's why" I said.

I long awkward silence came up, but thankfully he talked.

"So, what are you working on?" he asked me.

"Oh, that - It was nothing. I just figured out to sing for while waiting for Niall." I said.

"It was great, I really thought you were recording. It's Mariah Carey's song right?" he asked. 

"Thank you and yeah! It is! It's one of my favorite songs of her!" 

"You should really make a cover of it" he reccomended.

"Really?" I said, as I sat on a seat beside the door.

"Really" he said, looking at me smiling.

I stood up and said, "Come! Let's go outside and maybe take a seat?" I offered.

"Okay" he replied, as we got out of the recording room.
