Chapter Three || Hunger & Regret

P E R R I E

"That was brilliant," Zayn grinned as he dried his hair with a towel, passing me a clean one. "Just please tell me you didn't regret that because if you did, we seriously cannot be friends anymore."

"Well, it was one hell of an adrenaline rush," I exclaimed, trying to tame my wet hair with the towel.

"But I'm guessing you now like the outdoors?" He asked.

"You could say that."

"I know right?!" He said enthusiastically. "Don't get me wrong, but I don't always go jumping off cliffs. You could say it's a hobby, but at the same time it's so much fun. I'm a firm believer in living life the fullest."

"I admire people like that, probably because I'm the complete opposite," I smiled, squeezing the water out of my hair.

Zayn winked at me. "Hang out with me more often and you'll become just as crazy as me."

"Yep," I laughed, "Look what you made me do today."

"You're so cute when you laugh," He said softly " It's like all of a sudden your full of life."

I bumped my shoulder with his, "You made me really happy today."

Zayn smirked, "Are you sure about that because more than half of the time you were too busy yelling at me"

"I know, I knowk" I admitted "I should have just trusted you because you gave me the thrill of a lifetime."

Zayns cheekbones began to quiver as he snickered, "Oh Perrie don't make it sound too sexual."

"Hey, that's not what I meant!" I snapped, trying my best not to laugh.

"Alright, Alright," He chuckled, "Let's just save the sexual jokes for later okay? It's definitely not appropriate for a first date."

I raised an eyebrow, smirking, "Who said anything about a date?"

"Well, this is better than any other date I've been on, that's for sure," he grinned.

There was a few minutes of silence, both of us just staring into each others eyes. It was like a staring contest, the first one to blink was out.

But then he started nearing closer to me, our faces just inches away. His eyes flickered from mine, to my lips and then back to my eyes again.

Zayn leaned in closer, his lips so close to mine. I could feel his minty breath on my face, and the scent of his cologne lingering under my nose.

I bit my lip. I shouldn't be doing this, I have a boyfriend. I can't betray him like this. I chewed the inside of my cheeks and spat out the most stupid thing ever.

"Zayn," I said.

"Yes?" He asked, still looking at my lips.

"I'm..hungry."

Zayn leaned in even closer, so that our noses were practically touching.

"Just eat me," He whispered, his voice seductive.

I immediatley took a step back. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

Zayn burst into a fit of laughter, tears almost beginning to stream down his cheeks.

"Your...face!" He said through laughs.

I softly chuckled with him, my cheeks still burning with embarrassment.

"You know Perrie, you always know how to make me laugh." He grinned, still lightly snickering.

I'm hungry?! Who the FUCK even says that before a kiss?!

Noticing my awkward and frozen state, Zayn took my hand. "You know what, I'm hungry too. D' you wanna go get some sandwiches?"

"Sorry? What did you say?" I asked as his voice became much more distant.

"Perrie? Perrie can you hear me? Perrie?"

And then just like that, everything went black.

"Perrie?" A different voice said this time. It was much more huskier and deeper.

Harry.

I opened my eyes, seeing Harry kneeled next to me, a worried look on his face.

"Perrie are you alright babe?"

All of a sudden, I realised I was back in the real world and everything else was just a dream.

"I'm fine thanks, how long have I been asleep?" I murmured, stretching my arms.

"About two hours," Harry replied, pecking my lips.

"Oh wow," I chuckled.

Harry stood up, "I ordered some Pizza. Do you wanna eat it in here whilst watching a movie?"

"That would be perfect," I nodded gratefully. I was really starving. The last thing I ate today were a few strawberries. No wonder I was so hungry in my dream.

When Harry left the room, I couldn't help but think about Zayn. There were so many questions I needed an answer to.

Did Zayn actually exist?

Where was he?

The idea alone made me partly excited.

I got my phone out from my bag and went onto Google, typing his name in and hoping to find a social media account belonging to him.

No luck.

I went onto Google images, surfing through the different faces. None of them were half as attractive as my Zayn.

Harry came back into the room and I quickly slipped my phone under a cushion. He was carrying two plates, each set out with two slices of Pizza, some mixed vegetables and oven potatoes.

For drinks he was carrying a glass of wine for himself and and a carton of orange juice for me as I didn't drink alcohol.

He handed me a plate and I thanked him, watching him collapse next to me on the sofa. He began surfing through different channels, trying to find an appropriate film to watch.

With Harry's arm draped around my shoulder, I tried to get all images of Zayn out of my head. I missed him so much, even though I didn't want to.

You're crazy Perrie. You already have a boyfriend who actually exists and loves you.

"Oh, Titanic is on," Harry interrupted my thoughts. "You wanna watch this?"

"Yeah okay," I replied, a lump growing in my throat.

"So I was thinking," Harry began, looking down at me as I leaned onto his chest. "Do you want to go on a dinner date? Tomorrow maybe?"

"Well I'd love some restaurant food," I nodded.

"It's a date then," Harry grinned, plastering kiss in my hair.

'Well this is better than any other date I've been on, that's for sure'

Zayn's words echoed around my head like some mantra.

Stop it Perrie, stop!

My eyes flicked back to the TV screen, my eyes settling in Jack and Rose.

I couldn't help but remember Zayn again.

The way his coffee coloured irises looked into my icy blue ones.

The way the edge of his lips curved into a tiny smile as he leaned forward to kiss me.

The way his laugh caused butterflies to erupt in my stomach.

I had regretted a lot of things, but this definitely bothered me the most.

I should have kissed Zayn Malik.
