Hollow

Forty Six | Rush

Zahra POV

I snuggle into Killian's arms, my legs laying across his and the rest of my upper body laying against his chest. I look around and notice we're still in the air and the movie we were watching is still playing. Despite mother nature trying to kill me these last couple of days, I had the most fun in Anguila.

The hostess comes up to us and informs me that we're about to land in Madrid. I wake Killian up only to earn a groan from him. As soon as we land, I get up from his lap and shake him awake. This time he obliges and we walk out of the jet.

Walking down the steps, we find a car already waiting for us and step inside after putting our stuff in the trunk.

Moments later, Trey drives up the driveway leading a huge villa; it's s a beige color accented by others darker shades. He parks the car in the driveway in front of the house and steps out, walking to the passenger side door and holds the door open for us. Killian steps out first and holds out his hand.

"Maybe I'll let you pick where we move after all."

"And you had the audacity to call my home a bachelor pad." He snorts.

I roll my eyes and help Trey to take our bags from the trunk before making our way to the front. Killian punches in a code and the doors open, revealing a huge stair case that leads to the upper level, white and grey furniture with cream walls adorned with colorful artwork.

There are so many paintings and the decorations are just the right fit for the penthouse. There is a seating area lined with grey couches in the center of the room with a huge TV sitting across from them. There's a long L shaped couch in the middle of the room. On the other side of the coffee table stands white arm chairs.

A large marble table in front of the couch, a big vase with a bunch of flowers on top. In front of the couch is a TV. Behind the couch is a small table with chairs around it and a big cupboard with books, kinda like a mini library. Past the living room is a kitchen and next to it is a dining area. He also has an outdoor pool on the terrace and a splendid view of the beach.

I gush at how beautiful the interior is as I walk towards the terrace, silently admiring his different trophies, pictures and paintings hung on the walls. I look at the glass windows which give a view of outside. I make my way towards the balcony and open the door, only to be hit with a breeze of warm air and the splendid view of the ocean. I hear the shuffling of footsteps and see him moving towards me. He comes to stand next to me, leaning on the railing with his eyes trained at the beach.

"I thought your LA house was your favorite." I remark.

"My favorite is definitely this one." He laughs lightly. "I only bought the other ones to be closer to my family. Kaia goes to college in New York so she spends most of her time at my place there."

We head back inside, exploring the house. Killian opens the door to his room and I am met with the sight of a huge king-size bed in the middle of the room. He drags me inside and opens another door revealing the bathroom. Before I even part my lips open to speak, I am pulled towards another door. This time, it's what looks like his closet. He gives me a grand tour, opening the drawers with his stuff.

I look around and let out a chuckle when I notice that most of his clothes are indeed here; everything from his suits, jackets, jeans, t-shirts, shoes, you name it. It's all here. Just when I thought he couldn't have more stuff, he proves me wrong. The joy I'm going to experience raiding this closet!

A knock on the door interrupts our little tour. Killian turns and walks away, leaving me to explore the depth of closet. I hear footsteps coming this way and turn around to come face to face with a woman. When she sees me, she grins and strolls towards me before pulling me into a hug.

"I don't think we've officially met." She says pulling back and holding me at arms length. "I'm Vienna. I'm his bestfriend and stylist."

I grin. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Zahra."

"Girl, I know! I saw you a couple times but I never got the chance to actually meet you in person. You're so pretty!"

I feel my face heat up but I shrug it off, offering her a smile. "Thank you. And so are you!"

"Where's Robyn? I thought he was with you?" Killian interjects as he pulls off his shirt and walks towards the section with his shirts. I resist the urge to drool as I watch his back muscles flex as he moves.

"We parted ways when I came here." She replies making me avert my gaze back to her. "Now that you mention it, José said to tell you that he'd call you later. I'm assuming it's about your diet."

"Wait we're starting today?"

"Yes, Killian. You're starting today." She chuckles, shaking her head before turning to me. "Is he this forgetful when he's with you?"

I nod my head vigorously. "Do you have any tips for me?"

"Kick his ass, it should do the trick."

"I'll have you both know I can hear you!"

Vienna rolls her eyes. "Anyways, I figured I should come see you both before heading home."

"Thanks Vi. I appreciate it." Killian says stepping into view, dressed in his cargo pants only.

"You're welcome." She grins before turning to me. "It was nice to meet you Zahra. And don't worry, the Ferreiras are nice. A little too affectionate though."

I nod, giving her a reassuring smile. "I'll keep that in mind, thank you."

"Alright, I'll let you guys rest."

After applying lip gloss, I give my reflection a last glance before keeping my makeup away and strolling towards the bathroom to wash my hands. Walking inside, I am hit with Killian's cologne and I resist the urge to roll my eyes. He always leaves his scent everywhere he goes. I strolls towards the sink and wash my hands quietly as I watch him running a brush over his beard through the mirror, a towel hanging at his hips.

"Do you think I should cut it?" He says, placing the brush back down.

"Cut what?"

He runs a hand through his curls, dragging one and straightening past his collar bone.

I quickly turn around to look at him. "Killian, you can't cut your hair! My only joy in this world comes from playing with your hair, what will I do if you cut it?"

"It'll grow back."

"Do you have a death wish?" I ask, wiping my hands.

Killian laughs and pulls me back. He locks his arms around me, watching me through the mirror.

"Stop. You're gonna get me wet." I groan as I push him away but he ignores me. Instead, starts to leave a trail of kisses in the crook of my neck.

"I can make that happen."

I let out a gasp at his response, earning a laugh from him. "You play too much." I shake my head and push him away, walking out of the bathroom.

"You know, I called Kaia earlier."

"Yeah?"

"I asked her if she was okay. Wanna know what her reaction was? She's mad at me for having the audacity to check up on her."

I let out a small chuckle. "I totally understand, you're like a mother bear."

"She's just too proud to admit that she misses me."
