Changes

Chapter 30

Zayn and I walked back into the dressing room with his arm around me.

Closing the door behind us we saw all eyes on us. I couldn’t help but blush and look down. “Aww look we didn’t even have to say anything and she’s already embarrassed! It’s okay I would be embarrassed too if I was caught holding hands with Zayn” Louis yelled as he walked over to us with Cole trailing behind.

“Says the man holding hands with Cole” I joked when I looked up

“Yes but this is a manly stroll not a love walk” he stated as if he was stating the obvious

I laughed as Zayn jokingly hit Louis on the arm.

Coleton let go of Louis hand and latched onto my free hand. Without saying anything he started to lead me to the couch. I pulled Zayn along, creating a train through the room as everyone else fell back into conversation.

Picking Cole up and placing him on the couch in the corner, I kneeled in front of him and opened the bag that was slung on my shoulder. Pulling out a snack for Cole I handed it to him. “Tank you Mommy!” he said sweetly.

“No problem sweetie”

“So when can I take you on another date?” I heard Zayn whisper in my ear

I smiled “Any time you want” I said as I leaned against him

“Oh really? Any time?” He questions sarcastically

I laughed lightly, “Well you know what I mean. On the weekends. I guess I’m gonna have to come toLondonmore often now”

As Zayn was about to say something Liam and Danielle came over. “Sorry to break up this little moment, but I have to go. Got to get my dance moves ready” she said while giving a little shake. I frowned as Zayn gave her a quick hug.

“Will I see you after the show?” I asked her

“Probably not, I have to do a few things around here and I have a few dances tonight, so you will probably be gone by the time I’m done” she said

I nodded and hugged her. “See you next weekend?” she asked as I pulled away

I looked up at Zayn and smiled, tuning back to Danielle I said “Yeah, I’ll be here on Friday”

She clapped as she got excited “Yay! We should try to hangout. Text me” she said as she walked out the door.

When she left Zayn and I began talking again. But we were, for a second time, interrupted. I was on the ground leaning against Zayn when I felt Coleton sit down on my legs. “Aw done!” he said handing me the empty bag that had previously contained his snack.

“Coleton I want you to meet somebody. Can you say hi to Zayn?” I asked my son who turned around.

He looked over at Zayn and got off my lap and walked towards him. Before I could reach over Cole was running his little hands through Zayns hair.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw the confused look on Zayn’s face. “Cole” I said to him. Dropping his hands from Zayn’s hair he let out a contagious laugh.

I looked over at Zayn who was laughing. “Well I think he likes you. Or at least your hair” I said to him.

He laughed as he turned to Cole and tickled him and picked him up, setting him in between him and me.

Cole, who was still slightly laughing from being tickled by Zayn, was now staring up at Zayn. “Hi!” he said in a high pitched voice

“Hi Cole” Zayn said looking down at him.

“Ayn” Cole said pointing to Zayn, trying to pronounce his name.

“Nice one” Zayn said giving him a high five, which Cole loved.

For the next hour we were all in the room, eating dinner and talking. Cole had taken a liking to Zayn. I was so excited that they were getting along. Nothing scared me more than having to introduce them because if Cole didn’t like him or didn’t want to be around him than it would be hard to be together.

When Steven, the manager, came into the room with a few x-factor stage members, he announced that the boys had to go on soon.

Alyssa and I were going to watch from the side of the stage as the boys preformed. “Good luck” I said as I gave Zayn a quick peck on the check when he walked towards the stage.

When their One Direction was announced I was mesmerized. Holding Cole in my arm I watched as Liam started singing. Harry soon joined in and I saw Alyssa grinning from ear to ear.

Zayn started to sing and I could feel my heart beating a mile a minute. The look in his eyes and the sound of his voice gave me butterflies. I could see the passion in all of them as they preformed. As they began walking around the stage I caught a glimpse of Zayn’s eyes and gave him a small wave.

Standing there, watching Louis sing made me think of just how proud I was. This had been his dream since we were younger and now he was finally achieving it. I had only gotten the chance to see one performance of theirs live and it was on the x-factor. But this was different. They were stronger now, after being together for over a year. They all looked and sang in sync with each other. You could tell that this is what truly made them happy.

When the performance was over Alyssa, Cole, and I met them back in their room. When Zayn came in I rushed over to him. Kissing him I said “Amazing”

“Just like you” he responded as we pulled away.

“And that right there Cole, is what we call gross” Louis said with Cole in his arms.

Cole then repeated ‘gross’ a few times and even pointed to Harry and Alyssa who were kssing.

I let go of Zayn and turned to Louis “Thank you, what a great thing to teach him” I said sarcastically.

…

I had said my goodbyes to Liam, Niall, Harry, and Alyssa. Now Zayn, Louis, Cole and I were walking out to my car. I had dreaded driving home this late, but I had class in the morning to attend.

In the dark parking lot I turned to Louis first as Zayn put some of Cole’s bags back in the car for me.

“I’m so proud of you!” I said hugging him tightly

“Thank you. I am proud of you too” he said truthfully

I smiled and thanked him for having me and Cole for the weekend.

“So I will see you Friday?” he asked when I pulled away from the hug.

When he saw me face he just said “I’ll have the guest room ready”

Louis then took Cole from Zayn and started putting him in the car seat in the back.

I turned to Zayn and wrapped my arms around him. “This was one of the best weekends” he said

“I don’t want it to end” I said as my face was pressed into his chest.

“Friday will come soon, plus I will talk to you everyday” he said as he kissed the top of my head.

Pulling my face towards his I kissed him. Forgetting where we were, we both kissed back letting our emotions take over.

“Ahem” I heard, making us break apart. I blushed and said my final goodbyes to Zayn. Looking at Louis I kiddingly flipped him off as I got into the car. Zayn closed the door as he said “Friday will come fast”

Driving off towardsDoncasterI could still feel the tingling on my lips where Zayn had been just minutes ago. His words were ringing through my head as I hoped they would become a reality. Hoping that Friday would come fast.
