My eyes flickered open to a ray of sun beaming through the curtain of the room. Last night must have been wild, at my party. The last thing I remember was making a speech and telling everyone Harry would pay for their drinks. The bar looked great as well, amazing. Speaking of rooms... Where the hell was I? Well done Skylar. I rolled over and saw him. I blinked to make sure I wasn't having hallucinations. Nope. My heart pounded in my chest. Why did I have to be so stupid. I can never hold my guard. If you didn't already guess, the person was Zayn. Zayn freaking Malik. I quickly opened up the cover to see whether either of us was clothed. I put it down as quickly as i opened it though. As you can guess, we weren't.
"Shit." I groaned quietly. I was going to leave. Now. I got up and put on my clothes from last night. I silently prayed that no one would be around. That would be my worst nightmare. I was going to have to walk to make it even better. Thank god I had a hoodie that I left at his house. I probably looked ridiculous in my dress, 6inch heels and a pink Jack Wills hoodie but I don't care. I crept downstairs and found the door cracked open, blimey things must have been heated last night! I made sure to lock the door and post the key back through. I stumbled down the path, feet killing in my heels.
"Just one more week," I mumbled to my self as I walked along the road. 1 week (nearly) until I go back to LA for rehearsals. I'm glad it's nearly over, this trip turned out horrible. Everything was great last night until....
It seemed like hours to get back home, probably because I got lost. I ended up somewhere in central London, that I do know.
Luckily, Harry happened to be driving by. He pulled up next to me and offered me a lift.
"So miss Jones, may I ask why you are wearing the same dress?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing Harry, can you just please take me home?" I asked, tears threatening to fall.
"Okay, whatever you want," he said and drove through the streets.
"Harry?" I asked.
"Yeah" he replied.
"Do you ever have regrets?" I asked, just wondering.
"It's really common to regret things, I assume you did something last night?" He asked.
"Um... Yeah. But I honestly hate myself for it. Just please don't tell anyone," I begged.
"Yeah, don't worry you can trust me," he smiled.
"Thankyou Harry." I smiled faintly.
"Do you wanna tell me who it was?" He asked. Do I? Will he take the piss?
"Um... Ill give you one guess," I said.
"Okay, let me think... Wait? No Sky you didn't?" He said sympathetically.
"I'm sorry," I cried. His car pulled over and he turned to face me.
"Hey hey don't cry. You were drunk, Zayn was drunk, he won't remember. Zayn's one of the worst people when he's drunk. He never remembers anything, honestly." He reassured me, whilst wiping tears away from my eyes.
"Really?" I asked. He nodded.
"Did he see you this morning?" Harry asked.
"I don't think so, I left as soon as I realised." I explained.
"That's fine, lets get you home and too bed." He said and began to drive again.
When we pulled up outside my apartment building, Harry came with me too my floor.
"Thanks Harry," I said hugging him.
"Anytime, see you soon," he smiled and walked off. I unlocked the door and kicked off my heels. I saw Ariana sprawled on the sofa watching Jeremy Kyle.
"Hello babe," she smiled at me.
"Hi, I'm going bed." I said.
"Fine by me, we'll catch up later. I feel like shit right now," she kind of laughed.
"Me too," I agreed. I dragged my body to my room, desperate to take a shower but I just wanted to sleep. 1 hr sleep and then I'll have a bath.
5hrs later...
Yeah, I overslept. And now I have a killer headache! The joys! Note the sarcasm. I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower. This woke me up, then I put some sweatpants and a oversized tee on, lazy day. Well evening actually seeing as its 5pm. I walked into the living room and Ariana was still watching TV.
"Hello!" She smiled.
"Hi," I replied.
"Feeling any better?" She asked I nodded and sat on the other sofa.
"Yeah, rest is always good for me!" I smiled.
"So err... Where were you last night?" She asked.
"Um... I hate myself for it but Zayns." I stuttered.
"What?" She said, shocked.
"I know. Its really upset me because I'm not that kind of person, I hate myself." I cried. She came over and gave me a hug. My phone buzzed, saying I had 1 new message. Once I saw the sender I didn't want to open it. I showed Ariana and she nodded. I unlocked my phone and waited whilst it loaded.
Zayn Malik- Can we talk?
What do I say to that? 'Oh yes! We slept together after not talking, that wouldn't be awkward at all. It would be the most awkward cocktail I have ever tried in my life.
"Well what do I say?" I questioned.
"Erm, how about Yes, I guess?" She suggested. I nodded.
Me- Yeah, I guess.
He replied instantly, creepy? That must mean that he hasn't left his phone. What if I didn't reply? Ha.
Zayn Malik- Meet me by the river at 7?
Me- okay.
I did debate whether to do the whole 'k.' Thing but I decided against the idea. That would be a bit harsh? So I went to get changed.
{Insert outfit}
It was extremely cold, and we were meeting outside.
"Do you want me to come?" She asked.
"Thanks but I need to do this on my own. When I'm back we can order takeaway!" I laughed and got my car keys.
"Haha okay!" She said, "good luck!"
"Thanks!" I said and left.
The chilly air sent shivers around my body. I started the engine of my car and drove to the place we would meet. It was along the river Thames, a nice spot under a big tree. It was pretty cool, I liked it. I parked nearby, and walked the rest of the way. I noticed Zayns figure from ages away. He was leaning over the wall looking onto the river. He was wearing some jeans, and a big coat that looked very warm. I was kind of jealous of him really!
I slowly walked, trying to put it off for as long as possible. He turned and saw me coming. Awkwardly, I went over to him.
"Hi," he said.
"Um... Hello?" I said.
"So er... I think we should talk," he said.
"Yeah me too, I guess you found out then?" I asked, referring to last night.
"Yeah, you took your hoodie, but why did you go?" He asked. Duh! It's kind of simple.
"Why do you think? We weren't talking, you show up at my party we both get drunk and sleep together? How many more reasons do you need?" I said.
"Um, sorry. I understand. Look Skylar, about last weekend. I don't know what came over me, I never meant to be so hurtful to you. If I have known it was the anniversary of you know," he said.
"Say it, my mums death." I spoke.
"Yeah, your mums death then I would have given you your space, let you sit alone, but I honestly didn't know. I regret it totally, and I hate not talking to you. I know it's cheesy and in a song but Skylar Jones, you really do light up my world. I can't imagine not talking to you. Your smile brightens everyone's mood, seeing you so happy at your party made me so thrilled. Seriously Sky, over the past week I missed you like hell, I'm sorry please?" He said. Whoa, I've never heard him talk so much!
"I missed you too Zayn, and I accept your apology, as long as you promise not to hurt me again?" I said holding out my pinky. He hooked his with mine, making the pair of us smile.
"I promise. So last night was good babe," he laughed. Mr Malik is back.
"Excuse me? I'd like to forget about that, it was purely a drunken mistake!" I protested.
"Sure! Just tell me you enjoyed it so I can sleep tonight?" He said, puppy dog eyes.
"I don't remember," I said adamantly.
"C'mon... Any bells ringing?" He smirked.
"Nope, all gone!" I laughed.
"So where does this leave us?" He asked.
"Friends for the time being? You gotta earn my trust," I smirked once again.
"Well, I missed your hugs for a week and I know that girls hug their friends so...." He trailed off. I smiled engulfing him. I inhaled his gorgeous, mystic scent.
"You smell good," I said.
"I can't believe I wasted a whole week of our time together. I should have come over last Sunday, I'm sorry." He apologised.
"It's okay Zayn, I'm sad we missed it too but I fly back a week today." I said, I was excited to go back to sun to be honest!!
"That sucks, I guess we are going to have to spend every single day together then!" He smiled.
"You wish! I'm so glad we worked things out, I missed your cheekiness!" I giggled.
"Things aren't the same though," he whispered.
"Why's that?" I said, my heart being fast.
"I can't kiss you, or call you mine," he said sadly.
"Yeah but it's not that bad, I'm not the only girl in the world! We are friends, it pains me to say it aswell but you hurt me last week, I need to know that I can trust you. I've had a terrible past with boys and I'm sick to death of being hurt. So yeah, just understand that?" I explained.
"Sky, you know that I'm different." He said.
"Yeah, I knew it and then you said that thing last week. You don't know what I've been through. Look, if this is just going to cause an argument I'm gonna go," I said turning away.
"No, stop. Don't walk away. I'm going to win you, you wait," he smirked.
"It will take a long time, I can assure you. I do have to go though. Me and Ariana are having a takeaway." I said.
" I was going to take you out for dinner but it seems you have other plans," he said sadly.
"Do you want to come?" I asked
He nodded and took my hand as we walked back to my car.
"Friends don't hold hands Zayn," I sighed.
"I don't care!" He smiled.
