Oops? ☯ Zouis Talik

Chapter Thirty-Two

Zayn woke up the next morning with his mind set on running to the store, buying the morning after pill, taking said pill and starting on breakfast before any of his boys even thought about walking up.

However, Zayn was woken up even earlier than he expected with a frantic phone call from both his assistant Miranda and the office intern. Miranda, having precedence, was who he decided to call back first.  

She picked up instantly halfway through the first ring "Zayn! Thank God you answered. Mrs. Beckham has been ringing since three am, she's in California and she wouldn't give details but she needs you in L.A. asap. I've got you a reserved first class seat on a 6:30 am flight and if that's too early I also have an eight am flight available as well. That's really the best I can do sir she wants you there...yesterday."  Miranda rattled off details so quickly she would give a sugar high Damian and run for his money.

"This... this is so last minute Miranda."

"I know Zayn but she's one of our biggest clients and I know you would've killed me if I flat out told her no." 

He groaned knowing she was right "Right, I'll be on the eight am flight. How many days am I gonna need to be there? Louis leaves for tour again in about two weeks and I'd rather not leave him alone for more than two days."

"Max two or three days sir."

Zayn sighed sitting up in bed slowly so he wouldn't wake Louis who was sleeping peacefully next to him, "Fine, have a car in my front drive in an hour. You and the intern need to come with me." and with that he hung up the phone and flopped back down in to his bed.

Louis stirred turning to face Zayn "So, just me and our mini-me's for a few days then yeah?"

"Yeah." Zayn mumbled before pressing a chaste kiss to Louis' lips "I know you've got an interview today so you can drop them at mums and pick them up after." 

"That's fine, love." Louis could tell from his breathing that Zayn was worried about leaving him alone with Damian and Elijah, not only for the first time but for more than a day. 

"You can leave them at my mums if they get to rowdy for you. I know they can be a bit much to handle sometimes. Just don't y-"

Louis reached out and cupped Zayns face trailing his thumb along his cheek bone "It'll be fine, yeah. I've got six siblings I'll be fine." he leaned down and kissed Zayn sweetly. "Now get up and get packed, I'll wake the boys up."

It was a long day for Louis. The interviewers were relentless refusing to let the lies Eleanor spread about Zayn rest and it went on for six hours. Skype interview after Skype interview and phone call after phone call. So when Louis pulled up to Tricia's house he let out a sigh of relief. She had invited Louis to stay for dinner so they could talk being that the two of them hadn't had a chance to get reaquainted with one another.

When Tricia opened the door Louis instantly pulled her in to a hug. She had always been a second  mum to him and seeing her in person again bought all those feelings back. 

"C'mon love, the boys are napping you can come talk to me in the kitchen." She said sending him that warm smile he'd always loved and closing the door.

Louis made himself comfortable sitting on the counter as he watched Tricia make tea. "Still take it with no milk and two sugars love?" He nodded yes and said "Thank you." when she handed him the tea.

She moved to lean on the counter and quietly sipped her tea. It was an awkward silence for awhile both eyeing the other curiously before Tricia finally decided to break the silence.
