Cold Comfort »Z.M.« ✔️

47."Such a cutie you are."

   Now Liam's eyes are on me.

"Are you talking about what you said when you were eleven?" he asks. I nod smiling. He remembers!

"I don't remember when I met them and got engaged though." I giggle. He comes to me and hugs me. I hug him back. A few memories begin to show up in my mind as I try to remember him. And now I remember how I met Zayn. Hold up, I remember a lot more now! I let him go and look at Zayn.

"You... You punched Rodg before you pushed me, right?" I suddenly ask not controling my body. He nods. My head begins to ache a bit.

"You're pale, let me take you to the bed, you have to rest now." he quietly says. Liam lets him take me meanwhile he himself goes to talk with Rodger.

*Rodger's POV*

"What happened? What did he do?" Liam quietly asks when they both leave.

"I don't really know, he warned me about not touching her anymore and then he left to the kitchen where she was. I heard him say something to her and I think she was crying. Then I heard something hit the wall, that's when I went to check if she was alright. When I went in the kitchen he rushed out. I saw her on the ground blacked out so I took her and got her to the bedroom. Three hours passed, he sobered up and she finally woke up, he was exhausted." I answer. It hurts me when he hurt her because of me. I heard their talk, I just don't want Liam to know what they were talking about.

"Ok. Shit, I trust you to protect her. If anything, call me, ok? I have to go now, just came to check on Kay, because none of you answered." he says. I nod.

"Bye." I answer. He leaves. I let a tear slide down my cheek, but I immediately wipe it off, because I hear Zayn come down the stairs. He comes in the room.

"I'm sorry, Rodg. Can you go and be with her for a while? I have to attend another meeting with Liam." he tells me. I nod. He leaves as well. Hell, I hope he won't get high again.

   I go upstairs and lightly knock at her room's door. When I hear her small voice say 'come in' I slowly open the door and go in. My eyes meet hers and immediately I want to cry. But I bite my lower lip to stop myself from doing so. I close the doors behind me and slowly go to her as I let my lip go and feel blood inside my mouth. Shit. She frowns.

"What's wrong?" she whispers and pats the space next to her. I lie besides her and let out a sigh.

"I don't want you to get hurt. But each time I do something, you get hurt." I state. She rolls over so she would be halfway on me, her head on my left shoulder and her hands wrapped around mine, and her leg is now over my left leg. I feel warm and bubbly once again which feels so wrong, she would probably get hurt again if high Zayn sees this. I look in her eyes.

"Tell me why." she smiles brightly.

"Because Zayn's getting jealous fast and if he's jealous then he gets high and if he's high then shit happens like this. He hurt you and knocked you out for three hours straight and as if it wasn't enough, then you got memory issues." I answer a bit too harsh. Her eyes widen a bit.

"Oh... I thought you were Zayn." she giggles. I frown. At this moment I realise how close our faces are. Her lips, so close. Last time you kissed her you got lost in your own thoughts and began to cry, you idiot! I close my eyes and sigh. I feel her move a bit. What I don't expect is her kissing me. I answer the kiss with the same, I can't resist anyway. But when she pulls away I look at her. She lies her head back down on my shoulder and closes her eyes. I am confused, what was that for? She just kissed me knowing I am not Zayn! In fact, she kissed me right after she learned I wasn't Zayn...

"Why did you kiss me?" I ask, still not able to process what just happened. She slowly looks up at me.

"Just felt like you needed that one." she whispers back. Okay, now I'm hurt. She did that only because she thought I needed it.

"It's about what you want." I whisper back. She rolls her eyes.

"If I didn't want that I wouldn't have done that." she quietly mumbles as she closes her eyes again. My heart begins to beat a little bit faster. She said she wanted that! She re- "Are you okay? Your heart beats fast as hell..." she says as she gets up on her elbows.

"I... I'm okay..." I stutter feeling my cheeks get a bit warmer. She giggles.

"Such a cutie you are." she mumbles. I pull her back down, now wrapping both my arms around her. She accepts that and cuddles up to me once again. My heart rate just probably goes up even more. I try to calm down. Oh no, what am I smiling at now?

   Soon my heart is beating normally again and I feel calm, relaxed. Seems like she is asleep so I try to fall asleep as well, but I can't. My mind is floating high up in heavens probably. My body seems to be glued to her, my mind isn't listening to my soul anymore. You'll get hurt... I don't really care as long as I get a little love from her.

*Zayn's POV*

"So, today we're calling lists of people who we can't touch?" Martin, the gang leader asks. Everybody agrees. Well, who do I have to protect?

"Let's start with Zayn. Still have that girl that we can't touch?" Adrian laughs. I glare at him. Then look at Martin.

"Family." I answer, "And that girl, count her in my family." I say in a low voice. Everyone seems to be curious of my answer. Everyone except Liam.

"They're engaged. And if any of you touches Kayla, I swear to god, it won't end good." Liam growls. Everyone looks shocked now.

"You're engaged with her? Man, I never thought you'd fall in love for real... I thought she was just-"

"Yes, I am engaged to her, now c'mon continue on the list of people we can't touch." I interrupt Adrian. He nods.

   The list of people seems to be smaller than before, some of them have broken up with their loves or parents have died. I am happy that I have my parents and my sweet little princess who is probably waiting for me back at home. I really got scared when I learned she had memory loss, I thought I had made an irreversable mistake that affected her whole life.
