No strings attached

Chapter 7: How the strings detached

"...yeah hey, uhm I'll tell you more about it tonight, yeah bye." I hung up.

I looked at Zayn, "Sorry about that."

"No, it's cool. Glad you're really close with you're friend," He replied, the last part sounding more of a question than a statement.

"Yeah, my boyfriend."

He grinned a little as his stare stuck on the floor and nodded.

We continued to walk in silence and awkwardness.

"Ah, so yeah, thank you again, thank you so much." I said as we stopped infront of the dance studio, I stepped closer to him and leaned up, hugging him.

He hugged me back, a little longer than expected. Once he pulled away, he had me at arms-length and said, "No problem and looking forward to seeing you again."

Days passed and today was the first day of rehearsals, hopefully this'll go well.

I stepped inside the studio, feeling the A.C. flow throughout my body, it's been days and I still remember the feel of his skin against mine.

I sighed and laid my bag on the floor, I was early. 30 minutes early.

I was completely frustrated, I haven't been paying much attention to 'life', to my life, to Mac since that day we bumped and hugged.

The lights were closed.

But the windows were big, from the shiny wood-like floor to the white ceiling, big enough to support the room's need of light, only the sunshine against my skin and floorboards below my shoes. I turned the cd player on and scanned the songs until ... 

The intro of 'Let me love you' by Ne-yo started playing. (It's in the side, it's a different version)

It was accoustic and just the beat of it was playing. I stood and felt the beat revovle around my body so I closed my eyes, reaching out to feel of the song even more and started to move along with it. The lyrics inside my head.

...Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way you feel

Had no example of a love, that was even remotely real

How can you understand something that you never had

Ooh baby if you let me, I can help you out with all of that ..

As the lyrics ran through my head, I felt my body move.

Turns, sways.

There was something else, something made me loosen up, made my heart raise yet tame, made me energized yet calm, something different.

The air was gliding through me, sliding along with me.

Everything was great, I felt better until that voice came to life, 

"Let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl let me love you

And all your trouble

Don't be afraid, girl let me help ... "

I opened my eyes,

As I stare at the mirror infront of me ... us, A man was behind me, Zayn had his head just above the crook of my neck and shoulder, his arms rested on my waist, he might not have noticed but he started singing along with the song.

I stopped moving.

He opened his eyes and finally/sadly we both felt aware.

I turrned slowly, facing him.

He didn't move his hands away from my waist instead he pulled me closer and his face was near mine. Our lips inches apart. One sly move and we'll be collapsed.

 "Girl let me love you, And I will love you ..." He continued, whispering it infront of my lips.

I felt so calm, looking into his eyes. Every little thing just faded away, every pain, every bad memory I ever had, gone. Flushed into the horizon. It was just his eyes with mine.

We looked at each other, I scanned his eyes looking through those brown crystals. No other emotion stayed than satisfaction. What the hell? What the hell am I saying?!

I pushed him off of me a little, my hands trembbled on top of his chest.

But the thing is, I wasn't pushing him with all of my strength.

He leaned down, his grip getting tighter, my pushing pace calmed.

I slid my head to the corner a little to have is lips in total contact with mine, as soon as I felt those lips above/inside mine, my stomach turned, my chest tightened. Breathing seemed like another option for kissing.

I didn't push anymore instead I crawled my hands on the back of his neck, pulling him more as the kiss got more and more intense. He slipped his tongue and glided along mine. I mini-moaned inside his mouth which I felt his mouth turn to a small grin.

"E-HEM!" Someone coughed loudly/fakely.

We both jumped off of each other as we flinched.

"Rehearsals are about to start, so as yours Malik. Get going." Jenna our dance cheographer calmly and casually said placing her bag near mine without looking at us.

Zayn just gave me a we'll-talk-later look and headed for the door.

My cheeks all red, still shocked from the 'event' that just happened.
