It was weird. Zayne…. was acting weird. Like he was hiding something. But what? That man is mysterious as fuck, but that’s exactly why you like him too. Well, one of the many reasons anyway. And there just one thing that’s bothering you right now. The silence.
The silence was killing you in the car. He hands on the driving wheel as he focuses on the road ahead. Was it because of earlier? Was he… jealous? You cover your mouth, giggling to yourself at the thought of him actually being jealous. For second Zayne shift his gaze over to you before focusing on the road again. “Is.. something funny?” Zayne asks.
You put a index finger on your chin and tap. “Mmmm maaaaybe. I was thinking.. maybe.. you’re.. I don’t know.. a tiiiiiny bit jealous?”
Zayne sighs. “Please.. don’t say such nonsense. Did you get enough rest last night? Do you need a checkup-“
“I’m fine, Dr. Zayne,” You cut Zayne off, waving a finger at him. “ And don’t change the subject! I see right through you, mister.” You squint you eyes at him as you cross your arms. Zayne chuckles. “Okay, you got me. I… was a bit jealous.”
You nod your head. “Yes, but why?”
Zayne wandered a bit in his head. He and Carter worked under the same professor yet went different paths. On top of that, after buys you flowers and then has the audacity to ask you out for dinner? You? With him?? He just couldn’t let that happen. He’d have a heart attack. Gosh.. just the thought of-
“Uhh.. hello? Earth to Zayne?”
Zayne shakes his head a bit. “Sorry, I.. spaced out.” Your eyes widened. “Well good thing you didn’t crash the car. Who else if supposed to check on me if not you?”
Zayne smiles at that. “Right.”
“Anyway, you were gonna state your reason.”
Zayne nods. “Yes. I.. actually wanted to be the one the one to give you flowers. I even planned for us to have dinner and hang out more. I know it seems impossible especially since I’m always busy and I know you hate getting your hopes up, but I managed to clear up my schedule for just the two of us. And I’d hate for another guy like him to take away your attention. Especially since.. I.. like you.”
Your mouth opens slightly. “Zayne…”
Zayne shakes his head. “I know, it’s silly.” “No, it’s not,” You say. “I actually like you too. I really appreciate you making space in you schedule just for me. It means a lot. Thank you, Zayne. For everything.”
The car finally stops at a red light. You take the opportunity to take him by shock and put a hand on the side of his face and hiss his cheek.
Zayne's eyes widened, but quickly regains himself. “Hmm, I think a kiss would do better on the lips, no?”
Zayne then gets closer to you. The distance between your faces getting closer as your lips finally meet. The kiss doesn’t end just yet. Neither of you want to let go, not even for a quick breath. But of course, it ended.
Your lips form into a smile “I really do hope we can spend more time together.”
“Yeah,” Zayne smiles. “Just the two of us.” He says as he grabs your hand and squeezes it gently.
You squeeze his hand back gently. “You and I.”
