Chereads / Blood & Chocolate / Chapter 27 - Worries

Chapter 27 - Worries

Laying next to Zayn with my head placed on his bare tattooed chest, listening to his heartbeat extremely fast, just like I've gotten used to. The sound of his fast heartbeat is one of my favorite sounds, he doesn't know that though.

It's currently 8pm and I should be sleeping but I can't close my eyes unless it's to blink. I don't feel even a tiny bit sleepy after everything that has happened today. 

From mum getting her hands on wolfsbane, to Zayn almost dying, Josh stalking on me for God knows how long, Noah fainting, seeing Justin fully shifted. 

Today has been hectic! 

Sighing and shifting closer to Zayn's frame while wrapping my arm around his torso I begin to count his tattoos. 

"You reek of Justin" My heart skipped at Zayn's deep and raspy voice. 

"Zayn" I cry out hugging his body and drawing him closer to me if that was even possible. I wasn't expecting him to wake up so soon, not that I'm not fucking glad that he is. 

"You're going to crush me angel" He laughs, god I didn't realize how much I missed his small chuckles until now. 

"Sorry.. I'm just so happy you're awake, do you know how worried I've been? Everyone has been? I know it's not your fault but still! I was scared you wouldn't be awake for a few days, heck even months, and Lucas wasn't helping by telling me you might wake up next year, I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not-" My ranting was cut off my Zayn's lips pressing on mine, at that moment forget butterflies, eagles were flying around my stomach. God I missed him more than I can express. I know it's just been one day but I don't think I can function properly without seeing my mate for a day.

"Shut up!" Was all he said after the long kiss. I scoff getting up but Zayn was fast to pull me down. "Didn't know you were preparing a speech" Zayn teases, bopping my nose with his index finger and smiling widely, making his dimple visible. 

I slowly reach up, pressing my index finger on his cheek, earning a small chuckle from him. "Ahh your obsession for dimples yeah?" I nod, biting down on my lower lip, his voice deeper than I've ever heard him, maybe it's because he hasn't spoken for half of the day. 

"Benjamin 's dimples are deeper though, you can't touch dimples that are not mine" He states, making me roll my eyes. 

"We'll see about that" I tease, lifting my left brow teasingly. 

My smile is replaced with confusion when Zayn starts sniffing my cheek, to my neck, my arm. "What are you doing?!" I could help that laugh that escaped my mouth, his actions were tickling. 

"Why'd you smell like Justin?" He says in German, which I do not understand. The only thing I got was Justin. I've heard Germans speak and I know what the language sounds like but the way Zayn just spoke sounds different. I had a kind of tune to it. 

"Would you care to translate?" I ask. 

"Why'd you smell like Justin?" He repeats but this time in English. I snorted, almost wounding my throat at his question. Zayn watches me with raised brows waiting for an answer. 

"Do I?" He exhales, snaking his hand around my thigh, lifting it and placing it on his lap. "You don't smell so much like you" He whines, taking another whiff of my neck. "I'm trying to pick Diana's scent but all I get is Justin" We both start laughing as Zayn closes his eyes while shaking his head. 

"Maybe that's cos I saw Justin fully shifted today" Zayn's eyes snapped open darting to mine as all amusement was gone. 

"You saw Justin fully shifted? As in a full werewolf? Today?" I hum waiting to know his reason for reacting so shocked. I mean I'm part of the pack now, I would eventually see them shifted. 

"I wanted you to see me first," He says in a low voice.

"Oh baby you know it doesn't matter who I see first?" I wrap myself closer to him, almost laying on top of his body. 

"I know but y'know..." I completely understood him, he didn't have to say anything else, so I placed my palm on his cheek making him look at me before meeting his lips with mine. 

"It doesn't matter who I see first, okay? I love just you" I whisper as I break the kiss, our breaths still mixing together. Zayn smiles pulling me back by the back of my head and taking my lips for a slow beautiful kiss. 

"I love you too and I'm starving" He mumbles against my lips. I chuckle softly  before kissing him again making him smile once more, I move away from him placing a soft peck on his nose.

"Let's go downstairs then" I suggest as he shakes his head. 

"First of all, what did I miss today?" 

"Oh nothing much except Josh spying on me, Kate and Benjamin nearly fighting" His face scrunches up in confusion. 

"Josh? Josh the douchebag? you're ex?"  He asks me and I nod.

"I don't know how long this has been, or what he knows"  I sigh running my fingers through my hair. Zayn looks over at me confused 

"Did he see anything?"  he questions.

"Justin went after him in wolf form" He's silent for a few moments letting my words sink in before responding.

"What could he possibly do anyway?" He raises an eyebrow at me 

"Did you hear me? Justin was fully shifted and he went after Josh, caught up with him! Josh saw me! He saw Justin coming out from the pack house, the same place I came out from"  I state getting slightly angry thinking about what Josh would do next. 

"Yea?! So what if he knows all these things? Again, what could he do?" he replies, making me stand up from the bed. 

"He could go to the police, that's what he could do!" I yell. "As long as it has to do with me! He would go to the police, tell them what he saw!"

"And you think the police can do anything to us?"  Zayn huffs.

"Yes! You think the police are just my mum alone?! With the information Josh has... " 

"You worry too much Diana"  Zayn stands up and grabs my wrist stopping my rant, his thumb rubbing circles on my skin. "We can handle whatever comes our way,we always do" He places his forehead against mine, holding me tight. "You don't have to worry about Josh, I'll handle him myself." He says planting a small kiss on my forehead before releasing me and walking towards the door. 

"What are you going to do?"  I ask curiously.

"You'll see" He smirks, turning around and leaning against the doorframe. "Don't worry angel" I watch him leave before lying back down into bed, pulling the covers up to my chin and hugging the pillow tightly, trying to calm my thoughts down.

Everything that has happened tonight is overwhelming. 

And I have a feeling more is to come.
