Zayn’s POV
When Beth opened the door from hearing Niall and Cheyenne my heart ached. For a second I really thought that I was going to get my chance to win her over. The way she stormed off from seeing Perrie this morning gave me a guilty pleasure. Bringing Perrie on the holiday was just another perk of my game. Niall may officially have her but the game is not over.
“Zayn are you okay you look sick?” Louis asks me. I look over to see a sleeping Eleanor on his lap, when he sees me looking he smiles down at her leaving a small kiss on her forehead. A ping of jealously over takes me.
“Yeah, I just need to have a minute alone,” Perrie gives me a strange look but I still let go of her hand and go back to the small bedroom. Today has been crazy, and I just wish I would have acted on my feelings today when Cheyenne hugged me. I should have kissed her, I really should have kissed her. A small knock at the door interrupts my thoughts but I cough letting the person know it is okay to come in.
“Hey you,” Cheyenne’s small voice fills the room as she shuts the door. I watch her slim body come closer to me, she is so damn beautiful. She has grey sweatpants rolled on her hip bones and her white tank top makes the small part of her skin peeking out between itself and the roll makes her skin look tan. I pat the spot next to me and she sits, rather close.
“What is bothering you?” She is almost in a whisper. I take a deep breath I should really tell her, but before I do that I get up and open the door to make sure no one is there. Eleanor and Louis are still sleeping, Liam is asleep while Danielle takes pictures of him and tweets them I am guessing. Perrie moved to my seat and is leant against the cold window. Niall is asleep with a blanket around him. Beth is half asleep while Harry sings to her quietly. I close the door and go back to Cheyenne.
“So?” She asks. I don’t know how to say what I want.
“Cheyenne can I ask you a question?”
“You just did,” She sends me a smile and a wink making me feel warm all over. Her shoulder nudges mine in a playful way and I let out a small laugh, she is just so cute. I take a deep breath before trying to put the question in words.
“Have you ever wanted something so bad but you couldn’t have it? And it’s like you are hopeless at getting it, then right when you get the courage to get it, it’s too late?” I ask, I hope she realizes what I am talking about.
“Actually yes,” She moved awkwardly in her seat and I sigh.
“Well there is this girl, and I really want her, but I don’t think I can have her,” I say, I can tell she is very uncomfortable with this conversation.
“Just go after her Zayn, nothing is stopping you, you’ll do great,” She pats my knee and I see tears built up in her eyes as she gets up and walks out of the room. What was that all about?
Cheyenne’s POV
His words stung me like a million bees. I was glad he trusted me enough with that topic and everything but I figured he knew how I felt about him after today. I am glad Niall is finally mine but a part of me still wishes he hadn’t then maybe I could figure Zayn out.
“Have you ever wanted something so bad but you couldn’t have it? And it’s like you are hopeless at getting it, then right when you get the courage to get it, it’s too late?” He asks.
It’s like he knew that I felt that way about him and Perrie, but why is he saying this right now? Does he want to kill me?
“Actually yes,” I moved awkwardly in my seat knowing he is talking about her like this. He lets out a sigh and I want to attack him a little bit. He is so sexy.
“Well there is this girl, and I really want her, but I don’t think I can have her,” My heart drops. stupid Perrie. I know I shouldn’t feel like this. I know he deserves her. I suck up my sadness and try to stop the tears from falling giving him the best advice I can.
“Just go after her Zayn, nothing is stopping you, you’ll do great,” I pat his knee feeling a bolt of electric. I feel the tears building up faster and faster so I just get up and leave him alone with his thoughts about the pretty blonde.
Niall stirs in his seat and soon his eyes are open. Great now he is going to see me crying, I quickly act as if I am sleeping before he can realize that I am not sleeping. How could Zayn do this, I really thought he knew how I felt. I am being such a hypocrite I am dating another guy but I don’t want Zayn with a girl, it’s not like he has showed any interest in me before so why would he now?
“Cheyenne wake up,” Niall shakes me gently, now I have to act like I was really asleep while he wakes me up. I flutter my eyes open and find Niall close to my face a tad creeped out.
“Why are you crying in your sleep?” Wow Niall really? Do people even cry in their sleep? You know for a fact that I was crying and then faking sleep, of wait no he doesn’t.
“Oh I don’t know, probably just a sad dream.” I smile at him and he relaxes a bit. I have to get out of here.
“I am going to go back there to sleep, I need to be alone,” I fake another smile and kiss him gentle on the lips. As I walk back I realize Perrie is still alone in her seat. Should I still go back to where Zayn is?
“What is up?” Zayn asks as I open the door. He is laying down on one of the beds.
“I wanted to sleep alone, why aren’t you out with Perrie?” I feel hate in my voice as I say her beautiful name.
“Eh,” He shrugs. Oh must still be thinking about her then I guess. I sigh and lay on the bunk across from him.
“Cold?” He asks and I nod my head.
“Here,” He takes his jacket off and tosses it my way. I smile and slide it on my arms. His scent takes over all my senses and I feel numb, he is like heaven I swear.
“Goodnight Cheyenne,”
“Goodnight Zayn,” I close my eyes and fall right to sleep.
