All Of Me - (Islamic fiction, Z.M. Sequel)

Chapter 50

"So, does that mean you won't be able to come for Eid?" I asked dreading his answer. These past few days being around Aaroosa and Kaliq made me miss Zayn too much. I wanted him to be here, really here not on the phone. Our calls barely cover anything. I feel like I haven't had a proper quality time with Zayn since forever.

"No, I'm coming. I told them I don't care if we were meeting the queen. I'm going home to my queen." He said sheepishly making me feel heat rushing to my cheeks as I looked down at my hands, my smile small and a thousand tiny butterfly exploded in my stomach. Thank god he couldn't see me right now.

"I really do miss you, Zayn." I said consciously feeling myself turn into one of those clingy girlfriends which I refused to be but I couldn't help it. I really do miss him.

"I know babe. It's just two more weeks. Let's not talk about how much further I had to put up until I see you or else I'll get my bags now and get into the next flight to London." He chuckled.

"I wouldn't mind that at all." I smiled sheepishly.

"You want me to get fired, don't you?" He said chuckling yet again.

"Not fired. But I wouldn't mind you taking a really long time off work either." I smirked to myself. I knew he loved his job but I wasn't that much fan of it. Honestly, it did nothing good to our relationship but take him away from me and put me on the spot light to get hate. I would never word my thoughts to him though, I knew he loved it too much and if he had to choose, I wouldn't want to be the one he lets go of. So until we figure out how to deal with all of this, I had to tolerate it.

"I wouldn't mind that either, but I'm saving that for our honeymoon."

"We haven't even thought wedding plans and you are already talking about the honeymoon? Someone is a little impatient." I teased him knowing that he was properly dying to have some of romantic intimacy between us. I was too but I was more thinking of just being in his arms and having him with me.

"I'm actually dying for it. I have it all planed out." He said a little too eagerly.

"Is that so?" I chuckled wholeheartedly at him. "You set the plan without even setting a wedding date?"

"It's just an initial plan in my head. But I was thinking something like a private hut in Bora Bora. I've been doing a little research and found some amazing huts there, totally private and just too beautiful of a place as a whole. Just the clear water, beautiful mountains and our own kind of fun." He said, no hint of innocence in his voice making me blush a tomato.

Of course I knew Zayn was thinking of those kind of stuff, he was a man after all, but it just made me too uncomfortable. After being really strict on following my deen for so long and learning that most of what we thought was innocent intimacy was Haram. I avoided even thinking about anything so, to have this talk with Zayn now when I wasn't even mentally prepared yet was more that awkward for me.

"You even did a little research? You seem to be having a lot of time on your hands." I chuckled nervously. Not being too comfortable with the topic, so I decided to just change it, "Maybe you should just plan out this Eid first and try to spend some time with my family. My dad had been saying he never really got to know you well enough considering you are his future son in law."

"I was planning on visiting him when I come back." Zayn defended, "I know should probably make an effort to talk to him and your mom a little more, but I barely even get a chance to talk to you and my own mom."

"I know, Zayn. I'm just teasing you." I said fast feeling bad for putting pressure on him like that.

"I know your dad is traditional and of course he would want me to be around more. It's just I don't have a specifically traditional job, is all."
