Heartbreak [zjm]

5. Shopping

When I woke up that morning, I did not expect Zayn to still be lying there. Yet there he was. His body was positioned in an awkward way but it was not the way you would expect someone to sleep through the whole night. I sat up a little and I realized that he must have woken up during the night.

It was weird to think that Zayn slept over, considering I heard he doesn't normally talk to girls at all. Earlier, he told me that he didn't like Kayla anymore because he thought she was innocent, when it turned out she wasn't. It was also quite the opposite. She was more so obsessed with him than he was with her.

It was an interesting twist that I had never thought was possible. I stared at his face and he was breathing very lightly. The stubble all over his face was heavenly and his face in general glowed with the certain comfort of a warm blanket. His arms were draped over my body and it was hard to reach my phone. When I did finally reach it, he stirred in his sleep.

I turned not facing him, to check my phone. I had 5 missed calls from Melissa during the hours of the morning, 2 text messages from her, and 2 text messages from Harry.

Harry: Hey! What have you been up to? x

We should get together soon... Yeah? x 

Melissa: Sorry love, was out late at the Hospital... Call me when you wake up x

Another emergency at the Hospital... Call me! 

The last one from Melissa was sent 30 minutes ago and surgery can last for hours on end. I was hoping that she wasn't in a crisis because she would get mad if she found out Zayn spent the night here. I slowly sat up in bed, careful not to wake Zayn and grabbed some clothes. I headed for the bathroom to call her.

I told Melissa what happened and that Zayn and I fell asleep on the couch. I wasn't going to say that we were up in my bedroom alone on my bed, because she would get very suspicious. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and put on some clean clothes.

My hair was curled previous from the day before and I decided to put it up in a ponytail. When I walked back into my bedroom, Zayn was no longer asleep but on the end of my bed putting on his shoes.

"Good morning," I said cheerfully.

"I feel like I have just had a one night stand. You left me alone," Zayn spoke very slowly. 

"I'm sorry, I had to call Melissa..." 

"It's alright, I just hate when I'm alone," Zayn said and stood up and he kissed me on my cheek.

Without thinking I asked, "What are you doing today?"

"I actually have to work today, Belle. I would love to hang out with you and do nothing but I have business to tend to." 

He had a job?

"Oh. What do you do?" 

"My Uncle owns a major enterprise and I am the head merger for it. Did I ever tell you I am studying the ethics of Business?" No. He has not once said anything about his academic career, and netiher have I.

"Did you awake during the middle of the night?" 

"Yes, but don't worry about me, Belle," he said calmly and kissed my lips. I didn't want him to leave. 

"I'll see you later," I said sort of questioning my words.

"Indeed you will, trust me," he said and got into his car and drove away.

My phone buzzed with a new text from Harry telling me to call him. We talked on the phone for a little bit and he asked if I was busy. Which of course I wasn't so he told me he would come pick me up at 2PM and we could go shopping. 

I decided to tidy up the house a bit before Melissa came home and I took a shower. 

While I was in the car with Harry I told him everything that happened.

"You know, I've heard that Zayn has never been in a real relationship," Harry gossiped.

"Technically I haven't either. I have never been on a date and Zayn told me last night that his first date was with me," I smiled.

"There are a lot of firsts happening... Speaking of firsts," Harry followed. "I have a girlfriend!"

"Really? Who?" 

"She's actually you're best friend... Danielle," he said and his eyes lit up. I asked him to tell me the details and even though his eyes were focused on the road, his mind was somewhere else.

When Harry talked about Danielle it was like she was the alien species that he was fascinated with. His eyes lit up and his smile got wider, you could definitely tell that she made him happy. 

Harry had also just recently got his license so he was very excited that he could drive her around in his new car as well. We shopped for a ton of things and as usual, only got a few articles of clothing. I couldn't spend too much money considering I wasn't old enough for a job yet.

Even though Zayn is only about a year older than me, it felt like he was 3 years away. I was 15 turning 16 and Zayn was 16 turning 17. 

"You know I really think that you and Zayn would be the perfect couple," Harry blabbed.

"Why?" 

"Because you two just seem like you would be good... Speaking of Zayn, isn't that him over there?" Harry pointed to a corner and he was walking with a girl. It's probably nothing, they're probably friends and I shouldn't be all anxious or jealous.

We watched from afar as he hugged her very tightly and kissed her on her cheek. 

"Maybe they're just friends, or family, you never know." I shook my head in disbelief.

Instead of walking away they stood there for a moment and the girl kissed him on the lips. They sat there for a while, sucking each other's faces. It was disgusting. I can't believe he was over at my house this morning kissing me.

"They are definitely not just friends." 

I stormed off to the car. "He told me he was working today." 

"Maybe he was working and then he was talking to that girl. Maybe they are just friends... Or ex-lovers. Belle, you never know with him, am I right?" Harry joked.

"Harry, take me home."  The car ride back to my house was silent as I scrolled on my phone. "Thank you for this lovely shopping trip, I will remember it forever," I rolled my eyes at Harry and hugged him.

I got inside and Melissa and Kacin were home. "Ah, there's Belle!" Melissa said. "Thank you for cleaning the house, love." 

"You're welcome," I said very shortly and went up to my room. 

I stared at the empty bed and remembered that Zayn laid next to me. 

The smell of his cologne was still present on my pillows and sheets and I laid there for a while, wallowing in my own sadness. I always over-analyze things, but how could this be? 

We aren't official, and I barely know him but through his short time I have fallen for him, hard.

I should not have done that.
