Chapter Twenty-Eight.
Tiziano Ferro ft Kelly Rowland ~Breathe Gentle.
Tiziano Ferro ~ Indietro.
~When the air around you thins and the walls start closing in, there is nothing more to do than to let the paralysing fear seep into your skin.
"Hey, look at me," He touches my chin and tilts my face up. "It's going to be....."
"Allison?" He calls my name and I recognize how he says it. I also recognize his voice and his scent.
"Zayn!" I speak his name and instantly break down.
I don't know if it's relief or fear.
He instantly cups my cheeks looking into my eyes remorsefully.
"Don't cry, it's okay," he whispers while catching a falling tear.
"I'm just too scared Zayn." I sniffle trying to relax. I realise that I'm grabbing onto his shirt and giggle a little releasing my grip.
"Are you laughing or crying?" Zayn laughs and I smile at how his face lights up. Momentarily I forget that I am terrified to death.
"I think both," I face the floor. "What are you doing here? I mean not in the elevator, of course you were trying to get to a different floor. I mean this building." By the time I am done with my statement, Zayn is already laughing again.
"You're too adorable you know that?" He chuckles taking my hand and leading me to sit on the floor with him. "Well I swang by to meet my friend. He said he had an errand to run and it was taking a bit too long so I decided to stop by." He explains without tearing his gaze from me. "And what were you doing here?" He squeezes my hand softly.
"I actually don't know why the hell I'm here, but I came with a guy called Liam, he's-" He cuts me halfway through my statement.
"Your boyfriend?" I can't help but laugh at that absurd question.
"What? God no! He's an ass." I cringe at the thought of Liam being someone's boyfriend. He doesn't seem to care for anybody but himself as far as our interaction is concerned.
Zayn's shoulders shake as he silently laughs with his eyes closed and his left hand on his stomach.
"You're killing me," he continues laughing and I can't resist joining in. I actually find his laughter quite contagious. "That's my friend you know, the one that I'm meeting here." He concludes with a huge grin across his face.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry." I cup my mouth feeling embarrassed.
"It's okay," his smile assures me. "Liam is a special case."
Still feeling embarrassed about speaking that way about his friend, I stay quiet for a while.
"Thank you." I break the silence.
"For what?" He pulls me closer and lays my head on his shoulder.
"For being here," I reply sincerely.
"Well, I don't think we met here coincidentally. And I'd hate to think of what would have happened if you were here all alone. So maybe it's a sign." His voice vibrates through his body to my ear that is pressed to his body.
"A sign?" I'm not sure what that means.
"A good sign," he responds while playing with my hair.
HARRY.
After Liam's call I drove like a maniac running a couple of red lights. I couldn't even think clearly and I'm just lucky I've not been pulled over or caused any accidents on my way here. I literally ran inside here despite knowing that I may be too late. Maybe they've taken her away from me.
"Fuck!" I curse out loud pressing this stupid elevator button that seems to not respond.
I take the stairs skipping over three steps at a time. I'm already out of my fûcking breath but I can't stop. Barging into that damn office I grab Liam by his collar driving him to a wall.
"How could you let her be on her own?" I roar while trying to catch my breath.
"C'mon mate, I couldn't go to the ladies with her." The stupid prick defends himself but that's still not a valid reason.
"She's not answering her fucking phone-"
"That's because she left it here along with her other stuff!" Liam retorts before I could finish.
"Fuck!" I push him and let go off of his shirt.
I run my hand through my hair in frustration and before I could stop myself I throw a chair across the room. It almost hits someone who comes through the door looking scared as hell.
"Ex..excuse me sir, I just got a report that the elevator is stuck and there are two people inside. Maybe the person you're looking for is inside." He nervously explains directing his report to Liam. He's lucky that he has been making an effort to look for her.
I walk up to him and grab him by his shirt one more time."If she's not in that elevator you're gonna regret it!"
ZAYN.
Sometimes I think that fate has its own way of doing things and even if we tried we wouldn't even understand. The person I've been thinking about for the better part of my week is right next to me with her head laid on my shoulder. Depending on me for comfort and protection. If that isn't something new to live for then I have no fucking idea what this is.
"You're a fast learner," I divert her attention because I know she must be thinking of what I said previously.
"Huh?" she lifts her head completely oblivious of what I'm talking about.
"The dance," I simply state.
"Oh," She giggles. "I suck really."
"No you don't, we should do that more often," I would love to dance with her again.
"I... I don't think that's a good idea," she nervously tucks stray strands of hair behind her ear with her head hanging low.
"It's Harry isn't it?" I prob her but she doesn't answer.
"How do you even know each other?" She plays smart dodging my question with hers.
"I met Louis and Niall in college. We were actually in a band together." I watch her reaction when I reveal that. Her face lights up and her lips stretch into a huge smile showing her perfect dental formula.
"Don't play with me like that Zayn," I knew she wouldn't believe me.
"I'm not. You should ask them." She still doesn't seem convinced.
"So you sing?" She seems excited waiting for me to answer.
"I try," I say that knowing what she would say next.
"Please sing!" She shrieks and that's exactly what I knew she would say. She even forgot that she asked how Harry and I know each other.
"I will I promise," I watch her smile fade but then she smiles again nodding. It means she understands I guess.
Lights come back on in the elevator bringing our lost hope back. The elevator remains stationary though.
"You should try calling Liam," she suggests as I help her get up.
"There's no service here unfortunately," I check my phone once more to confirm.
The elevator jerks harder than before and this time I'm actually scared. I think I'm even as scared as she is. She pushes her little body against mine burying her head in the crook of my neck. I take in the smell of her hair pulling her closer and holding her tightly. I plant small kisses on her hair. If we're gonna die then I think I'd be glad to die with her in my arms.
"Zayn," She mumbles my name pulling onto my shirt.
"I know, I'm scared too." I truthfully tell her so that she can understand that it's okay to be scared.
After jerking two more times, which I swear made me want to shit my pants, the elevator started going up. I let out a huge sigh of relief still holding onto Allison just in case it stops moving again. She looks up to me and smiles through her tears. Seeing her cry is an awfully beautiful sight.
"It's okay love," I whisper then give her a prolonged kiss on her forehead. Her breathing becomes normal as we come to a stop with my lips still planted on her forehead.
"Allison!" She gets startled from this moment by his deep voice and pulls away from me. We both hadn't realised that the doors already slid open.
"Harry?" She steps away from me.
The way she calls his name gives me an ache in my chest.
Something I never felt before.
