lovely; z.m fanfic

is this love?

Noelle's POV:

I glance up towards Zayn. Why does he care about me so much? He doesn't even know me. I haven't felt so safe in someone's arms ever since..my mother died. The thought of someone actually caring about me floods my mind.

Did he care about me? I begin to panic in my mind as we stand in silence. My heart races as images of my mother scans through my mind. I quickly snap out of it as Zayn begins to speak again.

"Noelle, you okay?" he says holding my hand.

I slightly fall back but I feel his arms catch me. I once again seem like the lost soul being saved by an angel. I feel my head then again pound against my skull. My eyes go out. Darkness.

// Several hours later \\

I wake up to Zayn's arms around my waist and his slow heartbeat. I can hear his breathing as I finally open my eyes.

"Zayn?" I question.

I see Zayn's mouth curve into a beautiful smile. He then responds to my voice.

"Are you okay?" he says.

"What happened..?" I question again not remembering what had happened.

"You passed out again.." he says sighing.

I see worry rush through his eyes. His beautiful brown eyes taunt me as he blinks slowly.

"I'm sorry.." I whisper feeling embarrassed.

"It's fine..I'm kinda into the whole saving you thing," he says slightly biting his lip.

Silence falls between us. It feels as if time pauses as I glance into his eyes. His soft sepia eyes comfort me with love. I didn't even know what was happening. I suddenly felt disconnected from my body. He leaned in a little, and as his lips almost touched mine, and began to panic a bit. I was worried about rejection. I hadn't kissed anyone in a while.. I pulled away, frightened. I think he understood my fear, and leaned in a bit closer and planted a kiss on my lips. I then close my eyes.

When I reopened them, I saw him smiling slightly. We both leaned in for another kiss. But this time, I kissed him back, with everything I had. Slow. Long. Sweet. My worries seemed so ridiculous and I felt like I was melting. I calmed down and enjoyed the moment. When we pulled away, his eyes were shining. I think mine were, too.

I feel my eyebrows knit together as I look towards Zayn.

"I..uhm.." Zayn says nervously licking his lips.

His cheeks slowly took on a bright pink shade. I smile to myself as I realize that I had just kissed Zayn.

"Sorry..I..uh.." Zayn speaks shyly.

"It's fine," I say looking down, feeling my cheeks blush.

"I just felt like it was the perfect moment to kiss you.." he says slightly smirking.

I slightly push him away, causing me to laugh. His smile complimented his eyes which made him absolutely adorable. I feel a smirk paint on my face as he quietly laughs. He slowly gets up stepping away from the couch we were sharing.

I feel my face turn completely red as Zayn stares into my eyes. Had I just kissed him? I smile to myself, did I really just kiss him? I snap out of my thoughts to find that Zayn had gotten up. I could hear him humming from the kitchen as I sat quietly on his couch. Zayn then reappeared with a phone. My phone. He handed it over to me shyly.

"I charged it for you," he says shyly smiling.

"Thank you," I say.

I feel my cheeks slightly flame as he looks away from me. I stare at his perfectly chiseled jaw bones. His skin tone was a soft color golden, brown that complimented his stunning chestnut colored eyes. He wore a fuzzy red sweatshirt. God he was absolutely gorgeous.
