(Kira’s POV)
__________
For the first few seconds after Zayn planted her lips on mine, I sat there frozen. I felt her tongue push through my lips as she kissed deeply. Then, without even realizing it, I relaxed further into my seat and kissed her back. I closed my eyes as I raised my hands to her face, holding her close as the very act took down mory lane, reminding of how it used to be with us.
Back when life had been much simpler, and all I really needed was a girlfriend to call my own. Before all this ss, I had to deal with. Back before I t Lena.
Thinking about my girlfriend now, my eyes sprang open at once. I pushed Zayn off , doing it so hard that she almost fell to the floor of the car.
"What the fuck!" She cursed as she sat back on the chair and massaged her shins.
"I’m sorry..." I muttered, my heart was beating heavily in my chest. I could hear the blood pumping in my ears as I remained there. The air was thick and I seed to be choking on it. "I just can’t..."
I pushed the door open and stepped out, allowing the fresh air of the evening to wash all over . I walked to the back of my car, gripping it for support as I took in long bursts of air. I slowly massaged my chest, closing my eyes as I struggled to bring myself back under control.
I turned when I heard my car door open, Zayn was stepping out as well. I ran my hands through my hair as I looked at her, it was as if I was seeing her for the first ti and realizing just how sexy she was. The gown she wore clung to her body, showing off her gorgeous curves as she sashayed towards , her coat dangling over her arm.
I swallowed as she stopped before , "Zayn, you shouldn’t have done that."
"Done what?" She replied, "Kissed you? Fuck no! I’ve been wanting to do it for so long. Hell, I want to do it right now. I don’t even know how I’m keeping myself in check."
"Please Zayn, I’m begging you. I have a girlfriend now, and I love her."
Zayn looked at , "you love her?"
I nodded, "With everything I have, I don’t want to do anything to hurt her."
"Then, why are you so scared of ?" Zayn asked, "Why are you begging ?"
"Zayn..."
"It’s because you know the truth. You still want . You still love , girl. Whatever it is you feel for your so-called girlfriend, it’s definitely not love. I know what it feels like to be loved by you, and I can assure you that you’re not giving any of that to her. You can’t give any of that to her."
"We’re done, you and I." I said desperately, "Nothing can happen between us again. Let’s just focus on why we’re here, please."
She shrugged, "You still love , Kira. You and I know it."
"I don’t."
"Oh, you do. Because if not, why did you kiss back?"
"What?" I was flabbergasted.
"You kissed back, rember? You could have stopped from getting that close, you didn’t. You could have pushed away the mont my lips touched yours, but you didn’t. Fuck, you could even have punched when I kissed you, but no. You kissed , exactly like you used to do all those years ago."
"You’re crazy, Zayn. You’re seeing things that aren’t there."
"I’m not like you, Kira. I say things as they are, I don’t tell myself only what I want to hear."
"Just stop this, okay?!" I snapped. "I don’t love you anymore, and that’s final. My life is falling apart right now, and I need your help. So please, can we focus on that?"
"Oh... I’m not okay to date, but I’m good enough to bail you out?"
"Zayn! Co on! You know that’s not how it is."
"You know very well that’s how it is! When was the last ti you called ? You ignored like I was an insignificant part of your past and now that you need my help, you co here looking fine as fuck, knowing that I would be powerless against you and I would be willing to help, regardless of how pissed off I am at you."
"Zayn..." I muttered, "It doesn’t have to be like this-"
"Just shut up," she snapped. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, taking in deep breaths as she brought herself under control. "I was not supposed to lose my cool this way, but you’re right, let’s get to why you’re here."
I said nothing as she raised her coat and began to riffle through the pockets. She then pulled out a paper which she held out to .
"Take it," she said angrily. "You’ll find everything you need in there."
I took the paper and unfolded it, it had a phone number and also an address in Italy. My main reason for going there. While there with Lena, I would find a way to sneak out and pay the address a visit. The owner of the number was a man nad Kraven. He was an ex-police officer who had been kicked off the force dishonorably for engaging in several illegal conducts using his influence and position as a police officer.
That was exactly the kind of man that I needed for what was to co.
"You better be careful," Zayn said after a while. "That man is the craziest of them all, maybe that’s why he’s the best at what he does. But he’s not really trustworthy, which is why even I use him sparingly."
"This is for an urgent and ti-conscious matter. I’m sure he’ll be able to deliver."
"That’s not what I’m scared of, believe ." Zayn wore her coat back, shooting her hands through the sleeves and buttoning it up. She dug her hands into her pockets and looked at , "Gosh, you’re so beautiful. You don’t seem to get the kind of effect you have on those of us who love you. Which is why I really pity whoever your girlfriend is."
"Zayn, not this again..."
"Relax... I’m not going there again, least of all with you. You already made your intentions known. I an nothing to you until you need my help. But then, I do it all without any strings. Because I’ve got a good heart. But not anymore."
I shifted as I looked at her, "what are you saying?"
"Nothing goes for nothing anymore. This favor I just did for you? You better enjoy it, because that’s the last ti you’ll be getting it. The next ti you want my help, you’ll pay for it."
"Co on Zayn, you’re gonna be charging now?"
"You’re saying that like it’s a bad thing, after all, you’re a billionaire." Zayn chuckled, "But relax, I don’t need your money. I’m rich, rember? There’s only one other thing I want from you."
I shook my head as I saw where she was going, "no..."
"Oh fuck yeah! I want you. So, the next ti you co to for help, I’m gonna have you. So, think carefully before you dial my number again."
"Zayn... you can’t be serious," I said.
She only stepped closer as she took my face in her hands and kissed lightly on the cheek, "One way or the other Kira, you’re coming back to . Until then, stay the hell away from !"
With a swish of her coat, she stord away. And as I watched her walk, I felt fear creep up inside .
The haunting fear that she was right.
