All Of Me - (Islamic fiction, Z.M. Sequel)

Chapter 62

  The silence in the room was too thick. For a second I wished Zayn would just say something, anything. Yell, scream, ask a million question, tell me how he knew Eric was here, anything. But all he did was sit in the living room in silence.

Once Eric left, Zayn had noticed I was holding my shoulder so he helped me sit, got an iced pea-bag and helped me put it on my shoulder applying pressure.

We sat there like that for what seemed like forever but was only a few minutes. It was so awkward, it almost felt like he didn't just save me.

"Are you okay?" Zayn finally broke the silence.

"Yeah, just my shoulder. It hurts." I said my voice a bit weak from all that crying and screaming.

"Does it hurt when you move it?" He asked getting a little closer to me and trying to move my arm from my shoulder making me wince in pain.

"Yes," I gritted my teeth to hold my pain inside.

"Do you want to go to the hospital to get it checked?" His worried voice warmed my heart, although it shouldn't but somehow it was like a reassurance that he still cared for me.

"No, it would probably just go away by itself." I smiled trying to hide my pain from my shoulder and my happiness about having him here with me.

"It won't. Go change, I'm taking you to the hospital." He insisted.

"Zayn, promise its fine. I don't want to go." I urged him. I really was too tired and I didn't want to go anywhere.

"Are you sure?" He asked again.

"Yeah." I smiled at him. Silence fell between us so I decided to talk again, "Thank you. You know, for...saving me."

"Of course babe. I'll save you any day." He smiled back at me, my heart swelling from just the way he is looking at me.

"My own guarding angel." I mumbled trying to lighten the mood a little.

"I prefer super hero." He smirked making me giggle. He was a dork. "Your smile is beautiful. I know it's only been a day but I missed it."

Looking at my hands, I felt my heart flying inside my chest but at the same time I felt guilty for making him think I doubted him. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry." We both said at the same time.

"I want to go first." I interrupted him and he nodded allowing me to speak, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you when I saw that girl. Honestly I didn't think you were cheating it's just I got jealous and I don't know, I just didn't want to start a fight because of something that was probably stupid."

"It's not stupid babe. But you know I'll never hurt you like that, right?" He asked taking my hand in his for reassurance.

"I know." I nodded not meeting his gaze feeling like maybe I did over react about the whole thing.

"I'm sorry too. Maybe I shouldn't have lost my cool with that guy, Seif. I just don't like him." Zayn said making me roll my eyes.

"He is a nice guy." I defended Seif as always.

"He likes you." Zayn rolled his eyes.

"He does not." I insisted.

"He does. Your heart is just too big, you think everyone has pure intentions." Zayn said.

"He does have pure intentions, you don't know him like I do." I was persistent because I was sure of myself. Seif just didn't have any friends. I was his only friend and from what I understood he was going to be engaged to that girl Maha in the future, although they don't even look good together one bit.
