Roses and Thorns
Puppy Love. (8th Chapter)
..........................
Janelle's POV:
..........................
I notice him glancing at some kittens, while his perfectly structured shoulders are facing me. I reach my hand to pat his shoulder lightly, announcing physically that I have arrived. He spins around and for once since I arrived here; he smiles. His smile… what can I describe it as? If I would be able, than I would have a book written just about its description. It holds genuine features, lighted by the warmth of his truthful personality.
“I knew you’d remember.” I nod at him and stair at the pets instead.“So you like kittens now? I remember that you and I preferred puppy love.” He laughs, sending tingles to my body, then shakes his head. “Staring at kittens doesn’t imply I am interested in them, it means that I am waiting for someone to share the puppy interest with me.” His words mean a lot than a simple statement, and I wonder if they fit in another situation his is tied with.
“Well what are we waiting for?” I give him a quick smile, before we both begin walking to the puppy area.“Awe! Look at this one! (I point at the one dozed in sleep) he reminds me of you when I used to come over your place unexpectedly. I used to always find you sleeping. You slept deeply, but whenever i used to touch you; you would wake up instantly.” I surprise myself with my memory, but Zayn’s face lights like the ray of the sunlight. “(He scoffs playfully) Are you calling me a dog, Elle?” My skin ices at the nickname he refers to me.
It was the same nickname he used to call me for, back in the college years. He, like no other, called me Elle; he made it sound more suitable than ‘Jan’. “May I?” I ask one of the employees that pass by us, and she nods with a professional grin. I wait no longer to engulf the sleeping puppy in my hands, and luckily it awakens at my touch. “Isn’t he the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?” I speak in awe to Zayn, but I am too distracted looking at the creature between my hands. “I’ve seen prettier… not as puppies, but as people… I mean one particular person, that is.”
I shift my eyes from the puppy, and look at Zayn’s pair. “Of course you did. You’re getting married to her in less than two months.” As much as it feels sad to spill such admittance, I say them with no sign of negativity; just plain-straight forward emotion. Zayn doesn’t reply for what seems to be a year, but he finally clears his throat and gives a casual: “Yeah…” I shrug at him and cuddle the little puppy in my hands.
“(I coo in a childish voice at the dog) You like me don’t you?” I speak to the puppy, but Zayn replies: “I never stopped.” I place the puppy back into the basket display, and then trace back a hair strand behind my ear. “(I change the awkward moment, and claim) Do you want to have coffee or something?” He nods, and I notice that the Zayn in front of me is returning to the person he used to be.
We sit down at the chosen table, as the waiter takes our orders. “Are you happy? I mean um… being back in South Shields?” He asks in an adorable awkwardness, and I smile at him. “Yeah, I am. I thought I wasn’t going to be, but eventually its quite the opposite.” He furrows his eyebrows, and I curse myself deep down for saying what I said. “What do you mean that you thought yo-…” Someone shows up to the table, and interrupts Zayn’s questioning; that was close. “A moment ago, I thought I was being delusional, but now I’m sure. Janelle?”
I glance upwards to the lad, as my eyes widen to his familiar features. “Louis Tomlinson?” I speak in an excited surprise, and I wait no longer than to hug him. Louis was one of Zayn’s friends that I have met back in college. He was the funniest of the group, and I used to enjoy the times I spent with him and the rest. “Save your happy tears, love. Niall and Harry are right there. (He points to the further table) Do you fancy joining us?” I look at Zayn, as his facial expression changes to a rigid form. “Zayn?” I ask, and he nods slowly back, not saying a single word.
