One in a Million

Chapter 24

Kendra's POV

"9 thousand dollars?" I choked out, in disbelief. How could they possibly raise THAT much money?

"Yup." Paul said, holding a sheet of paper which calculated the total earnings.

"That's incredible!" Zayn said, lifting me up as he squeezed me.

"Oh my god.." I felt my eyes start to burn with tears. "Thank you all so much, I wouldn't of been able to get this surgery without you guys."

The boys all said their you're welcomes but I just couldn't get over the fact I truly would get my surgery. I actually might live a full life!

"You're a part of our family now!" Niall beamed.

"Why?" I asked.

"Since you and Zayn are dating, duh!" He ran over to the fridge and stared into the cold opening.

"Right!" I snapped my fingers and yelled over to him, I still couldn't get over that I was Zayn's girlfriend.

"One day yous can call her Mrs. Malik," Zayn joked to the boys.

I felt my cheeks get rosey, did he really mean that?

"Right love?" Zayn nudged my arm.

"Sure.." I said uneasily, I couldn't tell if he was kidding or not.

"You don't want to marry me one day?" I could hear the despair in his seducting tone. It's crazy because Zayn and I haven't known each other for long at all but yet, we were so in love.

"Of course I do! I just didn't know if you were kidding or not!" I defended myself.

Paul and the other boys left the conversation and became interested in other things like the television, phones or for Niall- food.

Zayn grabbed my hands and became to intertwine his with mine, "I wouldn't joke about something like that Kendra. I've never told another girl in my life that I've wanted to marry her, besides you."

I didn't know what to say so I just threw my arms around him and dug my face into his neck, never wanting to let go.

"Want to go in my room and go to sleep? You're freezing and I'm so tired," he nodded over to his room which was a couple paces away.

"Sure," I agreed as we walked over to the shut door and opened it up gently. As soon as it was fully opened, I ran over to the bed and jumped on it, embracing its warmth.

Zayn laughed. "What?" I asked as I got underneath the covers. Zayn waddled up next to the mattress and began to take of his shirt.

"Nothing, you're just too cute," he said with another small giggle. I couldn't keep my eyes off of his bare chest, it was just so perfect.

After he got covered up with the large comforter he snuggled up next to me with his arms around my waist and his eyes facing mine.

"Goodnight baby, I love you," he said gently as he kissed my cold lips.

"I love you too, sweet dreams," I replied, digging my face into his chest.

Sweetly and calmy, he started to hum in my ear as he brushed my hair back with his smooth fingertips. Before I knew it, I fell asleep in Zayn's muscular arms, hoping it would stay like this forever.
