Save You Tonight (A Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Zayn's POV

I carried Alex back to the bunks, laying her down on the large queen-sized bed. She had fallen asleep, cuddled against my chest still.

I loved that she fell asleep in my arms. Every time we'd sleep in the same bed, I'd hold her close as he fell asleep, and it was probably one of the best feelings I had ever experienced. It was different than it had been with any of my ex-girlfriends. There was no sexual pressure, it was just me holding her and comforting her, and as badly as I wanted to just kiss her, it was nice.

I had finally accepted the fact that I was falling hard for Alex. She was stunning. I loved how long and dark her hair was, and how it contrasted so intensely with her green eyes. I loved how she wasn't tiny, she was curvy in all the right places. I loved how she was perfectly fine with being one of the boys. I loved how no matter what, she always manged to look perfect. However, it wasn't only the physical things about her that I loved, because there was so much more to her than her looks. She and I could sit around for hours just talking about whatever was on one of our minds. I admired that despite everything's she's been through with Conner, she still tried to keep a smile on her face for us and make us laugh whenever she could. She was strong, and to me, she was perfect.

I knew I would have to tell Alex how I felt eventually. Part of me dreaded it. I was scared she wouldn't feel the same, or that it would ruin our friendship, but most of me was growing more and more impatient. I needed to know if she felt the same, or if I even had a chance with her. I just needed to figure out how I would go about telling her.

Alex's POV

"We'll be back soon!" Liam announced excitedly before he and Louis ran off the bus. We were parked outside of an airport in California where Danielle and Eleanor would be landing any minute. The two boys had been bouncing around all day, anxious to see their girlfriends.

"And then there were four." Niall chuckled, filling the silence that had overtook the bus. I laughed at the adorable Irishman. Harry, Niall, Zayn, and I were all laying around the living area of the bus. The three boys decided to wait here with me to avoid causing more of a scene inside the airport.

It didn't take long for Liam and Louis to return.

"Dani! El!" Harry, Niall, and Zayn grinned as soon as the two girls stepped onto the bus, their boyfriends right behind them with their bags.

"Hey boys." a girl with curly hair and dark eyes said, showing off a flawless smile. She was skinny and she had on a white long-sleeved shirt with black sleeves and a pair of black shorts. She was wearing a pair of black high-top converse. From the pictures the boys had showed me, I figured that she was Danielle. She turned to me. "You must be Alex. Liam's told me about you. I'm Danielle Peazer. It's lovely to finally meet you!" She pulled me into a friendly hug.

"It's nice to finally meet you too." I chuckled, hugging her back.

"Alex! I'm so glad to finally meet you in person." the other girl squealed once she finished hugging the boys. She ran up to me and pulled me away from Danielle so that she could hug me.

"You too." I smiled at her. I had only spoken to Eleanor a couple of times while Louis was on Skype with her. Her long brown hair was waved perfectly, and she had on a sweater that hung off of one shoulder with a pair of black leggings and boots. The two girls looked to stunning, especially compared to me as I was wearing a pair of leggings and an old over-sized green sweatshirt with my black hair pulled up into a messy bun and hardly any makeup on.
