It's a Summer Fling

Chapter 8

No One's P.O.V.*edited*

Lauren was smiling ear to ear. "I missed you.." she said reaching for the stuffed bunny Zayn had got for her. She was beyond wasted. When Niall told her about what happened in the car she broke down. She stilled loved Zayn and just wanted him to be happy, so she wanted to drink away her problems. But she looked at it from the bright side, she hadn't cut which was a start.

She pulled him inside, sitting on the bed then patting the spot next to her. Zayn responded by sitting next to her "Are you okay, love?" he said holding his hand to her forehead.

"I'm super. Can you pass me that beer? I'll cry if you don't." She said resting her hand on Zayn's thigh. He looked up at her not bothering to move her hand.

"Lauren, I'm not giving you any beer. You're already drunk as it is." He said placing his hand on top of hers. "Please stop this, you're not a homewrecker. Perrie just wanted to take a break for a while. Besides now we have time to act like a real couple without worrying about Perrie. Now go to sleep please." He said moving her hand gently from his thigh already missing her touch.

"No! You're not the boss of me!" She got up from the bed and ran to the bathroom slamming the door, leaving Zayn to follow. He opened the door to see Lauren sitting on the floor, causing him to slide down next to her. "Can we please talk about what's bothering you?"

"You're bothering me.. I can't stop thinking about this stupid deal we have with Simon. Zayn when I said I love you outside I meant it, I know we promised to be just friends but that's not good enough for me. I crave more and the worst thing is you'll never know how I feel.." she was defiantly had no filter while she was drunk. She had to work on that.

Zayn stared into her eyes, admiring her green orbs. Reaching for her hand he held it tight. "Lauren, I love you with all my heart, but I cant risk you getting hurt, okay?" he stroke her hand with him thumb hoping she would understand.

"Okay. I wanna go to sleep now." she looked at Zayn while he stood up, "Carry me please?" He quietly chuckled to Lauren's request, but he did it anyway.

As he was picking up Lauren from the floor she asked one more question that she thought would surely make them both happy. "Stay, please?" she put her hand on his cheek hoping for a 'yes' or maybe even a 'only until you fall asleep' but instead she got a kiss her temple.

He gently put her down, then tucked her in. "I think it's better if I sleep in my room. I don't want you to think anything happened or that I took advance of you okay, love?"

"Si, mi amor." she said slightly smiling up at him. Not only was she sad, but mad at herself for acting so stupid tonight.

"I promise I'll be here before you even wake up tomorrow. Night, Lo.

"Night, Zayn." and with that he gently closed the door leaving Lauren and her emotions by herself.
