Chapter 16

28th January 2012

Perrie POV

“ZAYN! PERRIE! WAKE UP! THE CARS HERE!” Jade shouts from downstairs. I groan as I role over to face Zayn.

“Morning baby,” he says as he kisses my nose.

“I don’t wanna wake up,” I whisper.

“Me neither. Lets have 5 more minutes,” Zayn says, pulling the covers over his head.

“PERRIE! ZAYN! NOW!” Jade shouts, “Don’t make me come in there.”

“Ok. Come on baby,” Zayn says rolling out of bed. I admire his body as he stretches in just his underwear.

“I don’t want to,” I complain.

“You have too. This is a big day, your first show,” Zayn says. I get out of bed and stand up next to Zayn and stretch. I see him look me up and down as I stretch there in my underwear. He grabs my waist and pulls me towards him. “I’ve changed my mind,” he says and he leans down and kisses me softly.

“No,” I say, walking away from him, “We can’t keep Jade waiting forever.”

“Ok. Don’t look,” Zayn says as he takes off his boxers and puts a new pair on. “I said don’t look Perrie,” Zayn says, noticing me staring at his bottom.

“Now you don’t look,” I say as I slip off my knickers and put a new pair on. “Did you look?” I ask.

“What do you think? How could I not?” Zayn says chuckling. I put on my blue jeans, a plain t-shirt and a zip up hoodie.

“Let’s go,” I say as I pick up my suitcase.

“Hey I’ll take that,” Zayn says as he grabs my suitcase and carries his and mine downstairs.

“You took your time,” Jade says as we get to the bottom of the stairs, “Come on the cars waiting.”

“But… Food,” I say. There was no way my tummy could last a car journey to Cardiff without food.

“No,” Jade says, “We’ll stop when we pick up Leigh-Anne and Jesy.”

We walk out of our apartment and to the waiting car. Zayn puts are bags in the boot as we jump in with Zayn sitting in between me and Jade in the front.

After a short while Zayn turns to Jade and says, “You speak to Harry?”

“Yeah,” she says.

“And?” Zayn asks.

“We’re meeting for coffee to talk about it when you guys get back from America,” Jade says, looking down.

“And are you okay?” Zayn asks her.

“I’ll be fine. I get it that he wants to enjoy himself in America,” Jade says.

That gets me thinking. Should I let Zayn have fun in America? Will he really want a girlfriend when he goes there? Is Harry going to lead him astray? No Perrie. Stop. He loves you. You’re being stupid.

As if he could read my thoughts, Zayn puts his arm around me and says, “I love you.”

“I love you too,” I say and I rest my head on his chest.

The car pulls up and I jump out of the car “Zayn get in the back,” I say and I walk up to Jesy and Leigh-Anne’s door.

When they open it they are both ready to leave. “Wait,” I say, “Can I grab some food for me and Zayn?”

“Zayn?” Leigh-Anne asks.

“Yeah he’s coming along for a few days,” I say as I make my way into the kitchen, open the fridge and grab some cold left over pizza. “Oh can I take this?” I ask.

“Course, come on,” Jesy says.

We hop back into the car and Leigh-Anne and Jesy greet Jade and Zayn. I jump in the back to sit next to Zayn and let Leigh-Anne and Jesy sit with Jade.

“Got us some Pizza,” I tell Zayn, opening up the box.

“Mmm yum. Thank you,” Zayn says as he grabs a piece.

“Perrie? Perrie?” Zayn says as he wakes me up. I wake up and lift my head from Zayn’s shoulder. “We’re here baba,” he says.

Leigh-Anne starts laughing and Zayn asks, “What?”

“Nothing. You’re just talking like Perrie now,” she says, making him smile. I get out of the car and get my bag, looking up at the hotel.

“Now Per,” Jesy says, “We only have 2 rooms between all 5 of us so Jade said she’d share with me and Leigh so you and Zayn can be together.”

“No. Don’t worry. I don’t want the press to find out we’re together so I’ve booked a room in the hotel next door,” Zayn says.

“What?” I say. I’m shocked.

“It’s for the best Per. I’ll be with you all the time, just not when we’re sleeping. Ok?” Zayn says.

“Yes.” I say but it isn’t okay. I don’t understand him. What’s the point? I grab my suitcase and walk inside the hotel, not saying bye to Zayn. I get the keys from reception and go into mine and Jade’s room. Jade walks in soon after me and sees me on the bed looking upset.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Jade says, sitting next to me and stroking my hair.

“I don’t understand why he doesn’t want anyone to know about us. He hasn’t even told his family yet. Is he ashamed or something?” I ask.

“No. Don’t be silly Perrie. Boys are just different to girls. He won’t just tell you why, you need to ask him,” Jade says, reassuring me. “I’m gonna have a shower. I’m all gross from that journey,” she says and locks herself in the bathroom.

There is a knock at the door and I walk over to open it. It’s Zayn. I don’t know why but my eyes just start to well up and I start crying. I scurry over to the bed and nuzzle my face in the pillow.

“Woah woah woah. Pez what’s wrong?” he says, rushing over to the bed. He sits on it and starts rubbing my back. “Baby, stop crying. You’re making me worried,” he says.

“I don’t get it Zayn,” I say, turning around to face him, with make-up running down my cheeks. “In a week you’re going to America for two weeks. That’s two weeks I won’t see you for and I don’t understand why you don’t wanna spend time with me. I don’t get why you’re staying in another hotel, or why you haven’t told your family about me, or why you are so scared of anyone finding out about us,” I say through my tears, “It’s like you’re ashamed of me or something.”

“Perrie. How could you be so stupid?” Zayn asks.

“I’m not stupid! I just think its messed up that you don’t wanna spend time with me when we are going to be apart for two weeks. I think it’s messed up that you try and hide are relationship. If you don’t want anyone to know, you shouldn’t have asked me out.”

“Perrie. Stop!” Zayn says, raising his voice. “Listen to me,” he says wiping the run make up off my face, “I don’t want the press to find out about us because I don’t want my fans to send you hate. I see how much hate Eleanor gets and I don’t want you to have to go through that because of me. Everything in my life is so public and I just want you to be my little secret.”

“At some stage they’re gonna find out Zayn.”

“I know. But I want to tell them when I’m ready and when I think you’ll be okay?”

“What do you mean ‘when I’m okay’?”

“I’ve already brought enough pain into your life. Katy has made you cry twice and this time you’re crying and it is just my fault. I hate to see you cry and I need to know that you’re okay before I bring all the hatred from my fans.”

“Okay,” I say and kiss his lips. “But what about your family Zayn? Why won’t you tell them?”

“Girlfriends are a big deal in my family. I’m the only son and my sisters and mum get a bit funny about girlfriends. So I want them to meet you first,” he says as he tucks my hair behind my ear. “So in 3 and a half weeks when I am back from America we have a show in Sheffield. My family will be there, and I want you to come and meet them.”

“I’m sorry. I love you,” I say and I hold his hand tightly in mind. “I don’t know what I’m going to do for two weeks,” I confess.

“Well I’m going to spend every possible moment with you until then, okay?” Zayn asks.

“Ok,” I say and I pull him next to me in the bed so I can cuddle up to him and make the most of every second I get with him.
