Harry's POV

As soon as I went to my room, I decided not to lock the door. I knew Laine will follow me here after they both talk.. Somehow I was right. As I stared the dazzling lights of Paris from my window, my door opened without any knock coming from. I was flashed with a lovely girl who was crying under her feet.


"Laine." I called her as I handed my huge palms to her.



She quickly stood up and embraced me tightly. I wish our date hasn't ended.. I wish I could get all the hurt from Laine's heart now. I wish I could.. I wish.... I genty stroked her back as she sobbed on me again. As soon as I got her stop on crying, I laid her on my bed.. I watched her sleep from all the tears she made.


"Good night lovely princess. I love you." I said softly as I smooched her forehead.. I watched her sleep for a while since I am not still sleepy. I know she needed rest. She's really worn out and tired..



Suddenly, a call outside my door sounded.

I quickly stood up and opened the door. I flashed Zayn a small grin and welcomed him. "Haz. Can we talk?" Zayn asked facing downwards.


I tapped Zayn's shoulders and headed us on a bar downstairs. The walk has been in silent. I know Zayn has a lot of thoughts in mind as I am now..




"Mate. Before asking me questions I want to tell something." I asked as I stared a glass of French wine. He gave me a nod to let myself speak.


"I'm dealing with Laine now. Ugh. Somehow I want to date her like that and... Be his boyfriend." I explained. I am so nervous as I spoke it. My voice was shaking.


Zayn held my wrist and gave me a smirk. "I know Harry."


"You know what?" I questioned innocently.



"From all the sparks of your eyes. I can see Lalaine on it.." He said in a mid chuckle. I pressed a huge smile on him. Wow really?


"I am so serious to him bro. I love your best friend so much." I told him, staring his hazel eyes.


"Yeah. I know you. The way you look at Jewls then, I can see it better to Lalaine.. Just please Harry, don't hurt my best friend like what I've done a while ago." He responded in a serious tone.


"What? What happened?" I cut him.


"Wait Haz. Let me... Um, Lalaine has been my crush on our high school years too. I am just scared telling her that. I love our friendship more. I can't assure that I can protect her all the time.. I will just hurt her. I can't make her happy.. I know Lalaine deserves more than me. I am just a someone who changed her. I am not a someone who will make her happy within all the depths of sadness and hurt she'll encounter." He explained deep with his heart.


Zayn pressed my wrist and stared at me with a great presence. "Haz. I love Melissa and I respect Lalaine's feelings to me.. If you truly love Lalaine, take the risk. I would love that for my two best buddies. I don't want to be a struggle from both of you, just try to explain everything to Lalaine okay? I know she's ashamed and frightened now. I knew her."


I quickly nodded and gave a side hug to him. "You're the best, man!" Zayn told me with a huge grin.



After some more conversations and finished some French wines we ordered, we decided to go to our rooms again. Zayn went to my room first before going to his. He gave a good night kiss to Lalaine.


Afterwards, I tried to sat beside Laine who was fast asleep. I noticed the necklace that I gave to her on my bed. I giggled from it. It's the one she's hiding a while ago.. I kept the necklace from the drawer together with our phones. I peeked at Lalaine's phone for a while. Thankfully there's no passcode. I've seen some of her messages and sent some pictures of her to my phone. Too immatured.




Lalaine's POV

As I woke up, I stretched my arms straightly. Since my eyes were still close, I haven't notice the person who groaned from the impact of my touch.

"Uhhh princess." Harry reacted. I slowly blinked my eyes and saw a messy man who was smirking on me.


I squeezed Harry's cheeks. "You're so cute Harry! Morning" I said, barely smiling at him.


"You too princess. I love you." He said, holding my waist. I rolled my eyes on him and leaned on the other side to see the sunlight from Paris.


Last night, I dreamt of Tracy again. She told me that she loves me for Harry. She told me we're perfect together.. But no. I love Zayn. I shouldn't let Harry wait for me. I'll just use him because Zayn hates me now.. Tracy said that Harry has a great feelings over me and she knew that one day I'll fall for him too.


I've thought of the old woman last night. She told me that I shouldn't let Harry go, that she can see sparks from my eyes that I am so happy with him. She told me that I should let go the facts that would make me upset and focus on my present...


Thoughts were running out of my mind. I love Zayn. Harry makes me happy like a friend does.. But?? Ugh. I gave a deep sigh and stared at Harry again. He tries to sleep again. He's so cute when his eyes were closed.


"Harry I hope you always close your eyes. You're so cute." I giggled and then pressed his nose.

"Whatever Laine. Come on let's eat?" He said, tugging my wrist out of the bed.



After fixing myself, we went downstairs to eat on a shop nearby. The food was great. I love it so much. We had few conversations. I told her about Zayn. What happened last night and my decision of going back to London today. At first, Harry ignored what I've said going back to London, but I repeated it. I can't go with the lads, especially with Zayn and Melissa. I told Harry that I miss my grannies too and I need to see them already.. Somehow Harry understood it so after we finished eating, he just remained quiet.



On our way back to our room, the lads greeted us from the corridor. I gave my greetings to them as they all chroused morning. I quickly went to my room after chatting for a while to them. I didn't notice that Zayn followed me. So after closing my door, he opened it without knocking.

"What Zayn?" I said weakly as I fixed my clothes.


"I'm sorry last night." He said in a soft voice. He laid confidently on my bed.



"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to fall in love with you.. And don't worry, I won't make this a big deal for us. I won't get you to Melissa." I explained, not staring at him.


"I know you won't. I loved you then too Laine. I am just-"


"Stop talking to me like that Zayn. I know you pity me that's why you make lies." I said in a louder voice. I know he didn't fell in love for me and forever won't.



He shook his head. "You don't know because you only believe your side. Maybe sometime, get to hear someone's sides too!" He said in a louder voice too. The tension from the room is quite intensive. I haven't toned like this to Zayn.. I am just annoyed and hurt.


"Go away." I clearly commanded but he just ignore it.

"Laine let me ex-"



"Go away Zayn!!!!" I shouted facing him with my glossy hazel eyes. He moved towards me, gripping my both sides. I turned my head from my sides. "I don't want to talk to you Zayn." I explained softly. My breaths were fast and deep. I don't want to face him. He gently embraced me with his broad arms.


I cried on his back. I can't fight the tears clogging on my eyes. He hushed at me and stroked my hair to stop crying. I can feel his lips on my neck. It felt differently. "I love you Laine. I love you because you're my best friend. I chose you to be my best friend because I can't forgive myself if one day I'll hurt you. You don't deserve me. You deserve more than I am. I loved you then cupcake and I've liked you until now. You're so beautiful, awesome, stunning, and still perfect girl I've ever met. Everyone desires for you. But Laine, I know I am just a best friend of you. I just chose to changed you and not the one to love you so much as your lover cause I'm afraid. I don't trust myself." Zayn said with his deep feelings.

I tightened my grip to Zayn. I can't believe what he said. Droplets of liquids from my eyes were still streaming down. Suddenly, Zayn let me go. I wiped my tears and turned to stare him with his eyes.



"Stop crying okay? You're hurting me cupcake." He toned, swaying my both little hands.
