Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 38

"He's distracted lately.."

Zayn coughed in a tissue, his nose was blocked, his head pounding and his chest hurt physically and emotionally. Harry had been avoiding him, he didn't think much of it but it's been a month. They still have sex but it feel like a chore as if Harry does it cause he feels obligated but even that had suddenly stopped for over a week, nine days and  eleven hours of it. Zayn feels left out. And now he's physically sick from feeling unloved..

"He's busy probably, don't forget he's the boss, Zee"

"I was spontaneous like you said and drop by at work after the school run last Monday and he was surprised I even visited.."

"You don't normally visit Harry at work so..."

"..so I expected him to acknowledge me, show me around to his staff you know, that's what husbands do. But he was like 'I'm busy see you at home later'.."

"So he was busy as he should when at work, what's wrong with that?"

"Busy with his new intern, who's way younger than me and prettier, maybe"

"I acknowledge that you're upset but, did you just call yourself pretty?"

"What?" Zayn asked oblivious to what he just ranted out.

"Nevermind..you were saying about an intern, how young?"

"Does it matter Harry is ignoring me for him"

"Yes it matters, so tell me how old. Is it better when I say it like that? How do you even know he's busy with him"

"Twice I called he was out to lunch with him I was told..and he's twenty one.."

"Uff, sorry bro-"

"Louiis..you're supposed to be on my side.." Zayn whined..

"I am but you know how things work, its always age before beauty..but you my friend are a beauty and that rule don't apply to you..so worry not I'll sort your husband and his new flame.."

Zayn sniffed not saying anything, has things between them been a slow burn for Harry to get himself a new flame to ignite those feelings. This is all just his imagination he's hoping cause Harry's been distant and hasn't been home when he's awake for three days in a row.

"Are you crying right now? Tell me you're not because I'll fuck Harry the fuck up.."

"No I'm not..I've got flu of some sort and my nose is bunged up, I'm aching all over"

"The best remedy for that is sex, did you know..you bunged cause you're not getting banged.."

"There's a flu bug going around with kids school." Zayn scoffed, "its nothing to do with me not getting it for a week.."

"A week..babe how you holding up?"

"Shut up..what are we doing about the intern, the point of this call.."

"Do you want me to go over there and fuck him up too?"

"No. I was gonna surprise Harry with lunch so he doesn't have to go with what's his name but as you can hear" Zayn sniffed, "I'm feeling under the weather, can you go over there and, um-" he stopped feeling a sneeze coming, he held his breath but nothing..

"Fuck him up.."

"Nothing like that, I mean bring him some lunch-" a sneeze came out of nowhere.

"Bless you.." Louis waited as Zayn blew his nose, eww.."you sound like you've got coronavirus, is that why Harry is avoiding you" Louis asked giggling.
