Roses and Thorns
The King. (9th Chapter)
Janelle's POV:
..........................
“You can’t be Jan!” Niall shakes his head in denial, as we share an embrace. “I missed you Niall.” I speak to him after I drop our warm gesture, then I hear someone coughing in a pretending matter. “You’ll get your turn, Harry.” I roll my eyes at him, and he chuckles as a reaction to the playful ambience. He holds my in his arms, spreading his positive feelings through the hug. “You never seem to stop becoming prettier, don’t you?” I laugh with the green-eyed charmer, as I recall his cheeky behaviour from the past.
“Zayn, you twat! You should have told us that Jan is back in town.” Louis swats Zayn’s arm in a joking matter, and Niall precedes the talk: “Don’t blame him, Lou. He’s probably so busy with his missus and their wedding arrangement.” Zayn groans in annoyance, as I slide down to my chosen seat.
The guys and I share our conversation about our current lives, updating each other on the changes we have been through. They all turned out to have decent jobs at different companies, but Harry’s story was different. He has finally opened his own bakery, and from how he told me this information; he seemed to be happy about it.
Harry claims: “I’m going to bake Malik’s cake for the wedding. (He look’s at Zayn and asks) Isn’t that right, mate?” Zayn has not spoken a word since we have changed our seats, and all he did was constant nodding. I glance at my phone clock, and I gasp as I notice it is 7:00pm already. “As much as I had fun catching up with all of you; I have to leave.” I stand up and they all whine in a funny matter.
“We should do this more often, love.” Louis speaks and the rest nod, except for Zayn. “I’ll walk you back to your car. I’m leaving too.” He finally said something since we’ve sat here, and Niall jokes about this fact: “And to think that Zayn lost his voice! Ha!” We all share a laugh as I hug everyone farewell.
While we walk through the parking lot area, Zayn speaks his suppressed feelings, that made him quiet down all this time: “You never asked me what I do for a living.” I stop my red boots from walking, and I look at him. “I’m sorry, Zayn. I just got busy with catching up with the rest. (I smirk at him and proceed) What is it that the mighty superhero does for a living?” His smile returns to his tender lips, and he sighs in contempt.
“I’m an English professor.” My eyes widen to the passion of his career. We both shared the love of literary works, and I am pleased that we both have chosen careers that satisfy our shared interest. “Once a nerd, always a nerd; ay?” I speak my joking words, and we share a quick laugh. “I guess I’ll be seeing more of you, then?” I ask him once I reach my car, as his arms snake to my waist softly.
I stare into his honey-toned eyes, satisfying my own blue pair with the eyes they glowed for. “I miss us.” He speaks in a sad tone, but his words carry more meanings than they simply are. “(I stutter not knowing what to reply) I um… I’ll be heading back. Good bye, Zayn.” He decides to reply to my words in a physical format, rather than verbal. He pulls me slowly into his arms, and I find the courage to finally hug him back. “I can’t believe that you are back with me. I mean um… back here with me in this part of the country.” My heart beats faster at the sound of his wonderful voice, screaming from the heat that his words provided.
“Bye Zayn.” I slide off of his arms, and unlock my vehicle. “You said bye, twice Elle. (He smiles at my awkwardness, and nods his head) Drive safely, yeah?” I nod and sit in my car seat. He begins to walk farther, and I stare at him in complete silence… watching him walk away like a king of his own decisions, and a king of my depressed heart.
Notes
Well, today was enlightening, right? We are learning more and more about the Zayn and Janelle (Y) Zayn is clearly holding a lot deep inside, and as you all noticed; he is showing them in the form of hints. He might obviously miss the friendship that he shared with Janelle... or he might missing her as something else maybe? Who knows, right? But what we know is that Janelle feels so nervous when she's alone with Zayn, she returns to that awkward kid she used to be in college. Clearly he's the only one that makes her feel this vulnerable, and we know why <3 (Y)
Questions for tomorrow: Ice Cream? Assignment sheet? Perrie is a little intimidated? Two wonderful laughs shared? :O
