Step A little closer to me

Chapter 8

      I've done almost nothing these last few days without admiring the large diamond encircling the finger on my left hand. Literally, when i made dinner I would stop every other instruction to watch it glisten under the kitchen lights, or when I went out somewhere I would open the door with my left hand just so I could catch a glimpse of its beauty. I've even told people that I don't know about my engagement. Some would congratulate me, others would stare at me with a "who the heck are you" look on their face. 

      Zayn and the rest of the boys were leaving for tour tomorrow morning and I honestly don't know what to do with myself. I know I have Eleanor and I'm going back to school soon, that should keep me busy, but I have this big ass rock on my left hand reminding me that I have a boyf- excuse me, fiance, waiting for me and I can't have him until after six months. It's like being a little kid on Christmas, opening the greatest present of all, but they can't play with it until they eat all their vegetables.

      I looked over at Zayn who was laying beside me in bed, but he wasn't yet asleep. "Babe you should probably go to sleep, you have to get up really early." I said, cuddling up beside him. He inhaled deeply, "I have a lot on my mind, I can't seem to sleep." I looked up at him, "Like what?" I asked. He sat up and rested against the backboard of the bed. "Well first of all there is you. How could I possibly leave you for such a long time. Then there is tour stress. Oh, and I've been thinking about those texts you've gotten. I'm worried about you." His facial expression changed from stressed to worried. "I haven't gotten any texts in two weeks, I think I'm okay" I reassured him, "Now go to sleep, everything will be okay. I promise." I said with a gentle smile and kiss to the cheek before laying down myself and falling asleep in his arms. 

The Next Morning

      "Are you sure you have everything?" I checked Zayns bag for the hundredth time that morning. It was 6am and his plane left at 7, meaning we needed to be at the airport by, well, now. "Yes I'm positive I have everything. And it's not like I can't buy anything if I'm missing something" He laughed. I inhaled deeply and opened the front door for him to take his bag out to the car. 

      Once all the bags were in the car and we were seat belted, I drove us to the airport. Most of the ride there was quiet, but not awkward quiet, it was a good quiet. We said everything we needed to say the night before, now we were just enjoying each others company. 

      When we pulled up to the airport I saw Eleanor and Louis talking and hugging and the rest of the boys awkwardly standing off to the side. It wasn't until just now that I became very upset with the fact that he was leaving me for a few months. My eyes swelled up with tears and I latched myself onto Zayn, not letting him go. "Don't leave me" I cried. He set down his bags and embraced me, "Aw babe it's okay, please don't cry, it'll be alright! I'll be back before you know it!" He calmly explained before giving me one last kiss. "I love you. Always remember that" He said before picking up his bags. "I love you too" I said quietly. Then he turned around and boarded his plane, leaving me alone.
