Keeping You Forever [sequel to Can I Keep You?]

Chapter 6

[ Zayn ]

It's been two days since Harry start acting like I didn't exist. Whenever I'm around, he wouldn't even take a moment to shot me a simple glance or whenever I ask him questions, he'd just nod or just answer me with one word. If I ask him what's the problem, he'd just say "Nothing"

When I went to the living room, Harry was there, watching a movie alone. Niall took Sam out to the park earlier so now is a good time for me to talk to him in private. I saw him shot me a sideway glance as I sit beside him.

"Curly.."

"Hhmm.."

"Are you still mad at me?" I asked in a low voice.

"You know I can't stay mad at you for so long Zayn.."

Upon hearing that, my face lit up. "Really?"

Harry nodded. He picked up the tea that he's drinking and took a sip. I moved closer to him till there's no more space between us. I placed my hand on his right leg and gave it a soft squeeze. "I'm really sorry. It won't happen again. I promise.."

He put the cup down on the table in front and grabbed my hand. He entwined our fingers and squeeze it gently. "Just promise me you'd always call and always let me know what you're doing.." he asked, staring into my eyes.

"That's a promise Curly. Are...are we okay now?"

He didn't answer. Instead, his arms goes around my body, pulling me close to him that I'm now on his lap, both of my legs on either sides of him, straddling him. His big warm hands slid inside my shirt, feeling my skin. A throaty moan escaped my lips when I felt his tongue licking and sucking on the soft spot on my neck. My hands roamed on his body. On his back, to his arms, loving the heat that radiates from his body.

"I love you Harry.."

He pulled back, staring into my face while his hands cupped my face. "I love you more. Don't you leave me okay?" his voice sounds as if he's begging. My brows furrowed.

"Who gives you that idea? Why would I leave you silly? That would never happen. Stop worrying. I love you so much.." my thumbs brush gently on his soft cheek as I leaned down to capture his lips, kissing him deeply. I may be an idiot and stupid sometimes but I really do love Harry. I'm not going to leave him. Never. Ever.

"Hold on me tight. Let's finish this in our room.." he said when he pulled away from our kiss. Both of us breathing heavily. He flashed me his famous cheeky grin that made me fall for him before, while he wriggles his eyebrows.

"Guys we're home! Are you decent?"

I heard Niall shouted from downstair. Luckily, we had just finished changing and showering after our heated make up sex. "Yes of course!" I shouted back as I made my way towards him, my hair still damp.

"Daddy Zen!" Sam run to me, clinging on my leg tightly. "Look what 'cle Nal bought me.." he waved big heart shaped lollipop in front of me. I picked him up and take a closer look to his candy.

"Wow, a giant lolli. Did you say thank you to Uncle Niall?"

Sam nodded eagerly. He's focused on unwrapping his sweet with a little pout on his lips. Harry came down after a minute, wearing white tshirt and his pink boxers. Yes, it's pink. His hair is still damp like mine. Niall grinned, giving us a knowing look. "Is the shower nice?"

"Yeah.." Harry grinned back at him while they shared a high-five. These guys....

"Hey buddy, what's that?" Harry took the sweets from Sam's hand, tearing the wrapper away. "Brush your teeth after eating that okay?" he said, giving the candy back to our little boy. Once again, Sam just nodded while indulging himself to the lollipop. I put him down on the couch when he squirmed from my hold.

"By the way guys, what's our plan for Liam's birthday?" Niall asked when he returned from our kitchen with a pack of potato chips on his hand. Whenever he's here, he always eat whatever he saw from the fridge.

We all sat in the living room with Sam beside me as we watched some kid show that my baby boy loves.

"It's still 2 months from now but Danielle said she's planning a little celebration. Maybe I'll just bake Liam some chocolate cake.." Harry mumbled with the lollipop on his mouth when Sam shoved it to him while giggling.

I was about to speak when my phone vibrates from my pocket. I took it out and saw Dana is calling.

"Excuse me. I'll just take this.." I lifted myself up and went to the kitchen.

"Dana. Why did you call?"

"Are you free today?" she asked from the other line.

"Why?" I asked in a low voice, not wanting Harry to hear us or he'd be mad again.

"Could you accompany me? I have a contract signing to a modelling agency.."

"Would it take long?"

"No. I don't think so.."

"Okay. Do you remember the bakery not far from here? Meet me there.."

"Sure. See yah.."

When the line ended, I went back to the living room where Harry shot me a questioning look.

"It's Mark. I need to go to the shop. It'll be quick, promise.."

Nice Zayn. You just buried yourself deeper with your pathetic lies. Sigh.
