Hello Lovelies...!

I also have one announcement to make which is...

Sorry guys but I am keeping this story on hold for a year or two...
Really sorryy ...

Oops ...Just kidding...

So that was just a joke..People need to laugh sometime in their serious lives...So here is the chappie...

Go on and tell me how was it....

WORD COUNT: 5K

Zayn's POV

Nervousness was what I was feeling at this right moment.... All I wanted to do was to run away as soon as some one is not looking at me...This feels like I am in one big hell...Surely , it's nothing too big deal for someone else but for me? This feels like I am just Whooshh...Scary...

You must be wondering why I am making this big fuss about anything or what I am whining this much...Right?

Well right now I am just about to enter this greatest shop I had ever seen on this planet to buy shoes for me.....This is enough to make me loose my confidence but no! God being his cruel self let alone Liam Fuc- ..Payne join me in my little shoe-shopping.. How sweet!! As if..

Yeah! I know he is not doing anything wrong but in fact doing exact opposite of that by bringing me here ...But who will not feel just the way I am feeling right now by him by my side in this huge luxurious mall..??.. Surely , I am not from some poor family but I am definitely not like the one who would waste all my dad's money in shopping mere things no matter how much I like those....

"Hello Mr. Payne and Sir! Good afternoon..It's great to have you here....How may I help you today?"

I heard someone's voice bring me out of my mind only to let my nervousness hit me hard than getting lost in the back of my mind....

"Hello Sam...It's good to see you too...Well , this young man here would need your help today.."

Liam greeted Sam guy with the tight smile on his face which was genuine yet professional ...After hearing the mention of my name , I prepared myself to introduce myself to him too...What? I am not always bad the way I pretend....

"Hello...I am Zayn...It's pleasure to meet you..."

I offered my right hand to this tall man whose chin was covered with beard and with blue eyes....

"Hi.. I am Sam.. How may I help you , Zain ?"

"It's Zen...Actually I-I was .. I m-mean w-we were here looking for shoes i-if you have?"

It kinda more like stuttering and it mostly came out as question...

"Yess..obviously...This is after all shoes shop you came to..Anyways which type you are looking for ?We have all brands and types here... "

I wanted to find the longest heel and hit it on the side of my head to get some sense in me...How can I be this dumb?

"Uh-uh sorry ...I...um.. I just want normal you know...black shoes for work..?"

I saw from underneath my hair that Liam was looking at me with his hands clasped behind his back and was looking at me with his quirking eyebrows...He behaves differently sometimes....

"OH! Yes..Right hereeeeee....."

I followed behind Sam with a small smile on my face by his friendly and not so 'working-in-a-huge-brand-shop' attitude....I felt eyes at the back of my head till I sat down on the stool in the other part of the shop where Liam was now sitting in front of me and not looking around the shop like me as if it was the first time to visit here but he was still studying my face every now and then.....

"So....I guess this and this are the ones that will suit you perfectly, Zayn...They both are black as you said and will go with any formal attire just like the one Mr.Payne is wearing or the one which you yourself are wearing right now...."

As soon as he placed both the pairs beside me to try ,I saw Liam signed me that he got a phone call which is important to take and I just nodded in assurance to that..I saw him leaving the shop but not before looking at Sam and with some words spoken by his eyes which Sam gave a curt nod to ...Strange connection ....

Sam turned to me to help me try these shoes but a small chuckle made his way from him...I saw him taking my slippers out and looking at those with a wide smile litting up his face....

"Now I guess I know why you wanted shoes this urgently...But your choice is great...My boyfriend has the whole collection of slippers of every favourite cartoon character..."

He said with a fondness rising up in his eyes and the dreamy look he hold in there...How lovely it is to be in love with some one you love also loves you back! Did I say it right?

"Thank you..That's cute..I think your boyfriend must be cute too by the way you are describing his choices...Still I don't know why no one here gave me disgusting look to wear this .. I mean they didn't  even go perfectly with my clothes and they are noticeable too..."

I asked him as he started sliding the black polished shiny pair of shoes in my feet with only slight pressure on my heels to get it inside the left shoe...

"Firstly, because here everyone is not at all judgemental like people use to be...Sir himself interviewed and employed them from their behaviour with their customer if they are not making them uncomfortable ...And secondly, you are with Mr. Payne; they can't even let them speak a word against any of his friend or beloved...."

He signed to walk and check if the shoes were proper..I stood up to walk three steps which were a bit clumsy due to the big size of the shoes...He brought the other one as the branded shoes were not having all sizes as per his saying and started placing the new ones again following the same process ...

"SO what I am with Liam?"

I asked him out of my curiousity.....Of course this is his uncle's but still I somehow felt there was something different about the way Sam was hinting...

"Because HE is the owner of this building but techincally his uncle manages it..."

And then as I was walking my trial steps all I was able to do was think

WHAT THE FUCK?

Seriously?

He actually didn't lied to me but didn't even told me the whole truth...So what ? I am not like someone that important one should tell their all details to... Now...Am I ?It hurts that I am not....

When I finalised my shoes , I was informed that I don't have to pay for those and then we both were having comfortable and giggling session of his boyfriend's behaviour....

We were so much involved in him informing me about how his boyfriend whose name I came to know as Brandon was crying over the rejection he gave for not wearing a simple grey coloured beanie which made him had to wear the same beanie in work too as a punishment afterwards ...We didn't saw Liam standing there at the doorway and watching us laughing and literally having tears in our eyes due to having so much fun....

As soon as he cleared his throat , Sam was quite as if we were no even talking by standing up from where he was sitting beside me in other stool....I made my way towards Liam with the bag full with my slippers and my new boots shining his glory down there in my feet....

"I see you guys had a bit fun while I was gone?"

"Zayn is easy to talk with Mr. Payne"

Sam said taking me by surprise as I never knew I was ever such a kind of person..Or maybe I didn't tried to find it out in me?

"That's............ fascinating.. Shall we?"

I saw Liam offered me his hand to take it in mine as he greet Sam 'goodbye'...I too turned towards Sam and bid farewell after we exchanged our number with eachother....I walked hand in hand with Liam as he took me to the last floor of the mall through the personal glass elevator....

As soon as the doors opened, I was welcomed with the warm floor and welcoming breeze that made me want to run naked in this big marble hall...We were soon standing in front of the big wooden door with the small palmtop attached on it's side....

I saw Liam entered the numbers in there and and finger print soon followed by a thin yellow light turning on ; lightning the edges and borders of the door and the handle illuminated by the red glob.....He opened the door with a quick tick which took me by surprise as it was the heavy one which would take my so much strength to open it single handley.....

I found myself again standing in the middle of the hall...
The marble floor was shining just like a mirror which made my hands roam in my hair by default...The windows were vast and the beauty of the scene viewed from it was much more pretty that made me wanted to just remove my clothes and change into something comfy and just sit there to admire it all I want...

"Is this yours?"

I asked Liam looking at him while he was removing his shoes and socks on the left side by the door...I followed his actions removing mine without any socks and swinging my plastic bag in my hand from side to side....

"Yes...I guess Sam already told you about this mall..."

He asked me while standing there and looking at my hand's action back and forth with much more amusement blinking off his face....

"Yeah, he did..."

I said looking at him with questioning look and haulting my actions of playing with bag which made him look directly in my eyes....

"And?"

"And what ?"

He examined me for some moment and open his mouth to take me by surprise...

"Sam is taken you know.."

What the fuck?

"Yes..His boyfriend is Brandon..But why are you telling me this?"

I asked him confusion all over my face ....Obviously, this was so abrupt...

"Just thought to tell you before your heart breaks..."

He replied so simply yet seriously making me want to strangle him to death for thinking of me liking Sam in THAT way...

"What the fuck , Liam? Are you insane? I do like him but not in that way..Geezz this is so .....Fuck"

I said glaring at him and then getting frustrated not knowing that if I acted like I was hitting on Sam obviousy un-knowingly....

"Great then ..Well let's get to my room and think of something to eat!"

He said gesturing me to follow him to his room...Wait..His??
Yeah..definitely...

"Why didn't you tell me that you own this place?"

I asked him with my voice littered with curiosity.....He was walking while taking small steps matching with mine which made me smile a bit internally.....

"Sam told you that too I see..Well it wasn't like I AM the owner of this place now...I passed it to my uncle .....And well I just live here often as it's a bit you know peaceful...Isn't it?"

He said while stopping in front of the door in the end of the hallway while facing me with his fond smile present on his face for his home....

"Yes..Definitely I love this place already...It's a bit you know ....fancy but still I loved it in here..."

I said looking around me and admiring the view which is in front of me ....The place was phenomenal and luxurious but that doesn't cease to give you homely vibes....

"Uh..Right...Let's go inside and see what we would like to eat for lunch..."

He said and opened the door allowing us to enter inside....When the view came in front of me all I was able to do was grin widely for it's beauty .....

"So....What should we order?Any ideas?"

Liam asked me while taking his place on the bed with his legs bend there and phone in his hand while looking at me with questioning eyes....

"Uh..No..Actually I am still full from that breakie..."

I replied while looking around the room not letting my mind wonder to some Past things.....On hearing my words ,Liam was on his foot and was striding towards me.....What's gotten into him, man???

"Why you don't wanna eat?Is it about your diet or something?See I know you are a bit that kind of person who prefers healthy and LESS food for maintaining their look but trust me, you gotta nothing to be worried about, Zayn...You have always been beautiful with your heart and well....physically too...But all that matters is how good you are as a human and you are PURFECT ...So never think so low of yourself and starting any diet ....Coz you are amazing just the way you are..."

Liam completed his last sentence with a loud huff as if he was not at all breathing while explaining this to me while holding my shoulders and looking directly into my eyes....All I felt this moment was so.......small....

He understood everything just by mere observations which actually meant so much to me ....It's not like everyone goes on asking you why you don't like to eat or some shit!! But except my family he is the only person who asked me and even understood my feelings about me without me informing him anything....Wow...How knob I was to misunderstand him???

"U-uh..H-how did you know?"

I asked him even though in the back of my mind I was having doubt about what he was going to say and he cleared it out by answering me...

"I am a lawyer too Zayn..Well , mainly as I said before , I know how less you eat a-and shit I never thought that you would take it that much seriously ...Shit Zayn..I am so sorry...For what I said...That was so sick of me to tell you that at that time...I was being so kid with not knowing how to react with what I was feeling.."

*flashback*

I made my way towards the classroom with a bit trouble as my leggie was injured from my knees which was bandaged under my pants....My leggie was hurting like shit as I fell from the top of the stairs while playing with Louis.... That boy!!

I was a bit late for school but I was carrying a note with valid reason so there was nothing to fear but still......Then why I am in fear???Obviously I am a kid ..That's what dad said .. Right? Yeah...

I opened the door when I reached my literature classroom...As soon as I stepped inside , the classroom went quite and every pair of eyes were staring at me ...I saw my professor offered me a smile and let me entered inside without any questions which cleared that dad must have talked with him already ......

I went inside and made my way towards the empty seat in the middle of the room...I set my bag down and sat on my bench with a little whine due to the pain in my knee...

"Can't even sit properly due to your fatty tummy ?"

I heard someone commented from my backside which made my head turn back to look at the owner of that comment.....Anndddd I found that handsome Liam Payne smirking and his friends chuckling on me as if I was some joke....

That was the first time I heard some one talking with me excluding Jezz, my only friend in my music class ....
I felt my cheeks burned with embarrassment and turned forward to not pay any attention to what he said...After all I look like pretty princess ...He must be jealous ....That's why he was acting that way. YESS...

Oh who am I kidding...? He was the one and only boy I ever had feelings for...Simple? It is but before I came to knew about him transferring to London for good studies...And I was happy for him but it broke my heart....
We were not some best friends or enemies...Nor we talked ever once since we joined school but just every time I looked at him while he entered the class , I didn't care of me being all alone sitting there...He kinda made me feel so ..Magical..without even talking......It was so new for me that I wasn't even sure what I was going to do after he'll leave for London...So I am just trying to capture all his memories in me though I am not sure of what I am feeling right now..Maybe this is just temporary..Maybe...

I started working on my essay which our sir gave us and the bell rung after I finished mine 5 minutes ago....I collected my books and started stuffing it in my bag while waiting for others to leave as I had to go with snail speed today....

I stood up to leave until others were out of the class....

"Take care, Zayn..Your dad told me about this..Get well soon.."
With that my professor was out of the room too...

I hissed a bit when my knee hit a bit with the bench and I was turned around by my bag to look at Liam...

"What was that?"

"What?"

"What the professor was talking about?"

"Uh.It was just about me being late..."

"Why were you late then?"

"I hurt my knee"

"Fu-How?"

"Um.While playing?"

"You are so kid , Zayn...Can't even take care of yourself...?This is so...Ughh....You are such a mess sometimes .."

That's it...And he was gone....

And then gone for forever .....

Just like I thought the feelings were temporary , it were bluring with the passage of time but the memories were still clear and feelings were blured but still present in some most inert part which was hard to find....

*flaskback over*

That was the first and the last time Liam ever talked with me or more like insulted me ....He left his school after some months and I forget him just like that with the passing seasons...

But now here he was reminding me of that specific thing which hurt my heart in that angle which was not able to heal it , no matter how hard I tried these years....I felt that maybe he was right somewhere..I have always been a self-conscious person but he just ignited that more with just those words....

It were meant to be just a joke and it was but especially from him..The only person which made me feel something different..Yes I admitted that long time ago but just to myself...But it was so much hurtful and I somehow believed it too....

And now here he was standing there right in front of me and it's getting harder to breathe for what he just apologized for and also what he just confessed about what he felt.......It was just a simple apology for his immature mistake but my heart was making it a big deal....

"Um..W-what about your fe-elings .? I didn't g-get it Liam"

I asked him avoiding his eyes knowing that all those things I was feeling about him and about those hurtful words would be back....And that heart break which I can feel right now which I was feeling that time..

It was not like we were together at that time..Hell we were not even talking with each other but I thought maybe before he'll go I'll talk to him or at least wish him a good luck...We did talk but it was about what a mess I was...It was not actually spoken by his heart and I somehow knew it by the way he was looking me in my eyes but it still hurt..And so I was never able to look into his eyes worried if he'll find out about that one day...

IT WAS JUST A MERE FEELING ZAYN..
GROW UP..
DON'T BE BABY ..

And then I rolled my eyes to meet with his teary ones...
W-wh-hat...?

"L-li-"

Before I can even complete my sentence I was shut by the pair of those beautiful petals I dreamt for the first time ever in my life few years ago....Before I can digest what happened Liam looked back at me holding his breath and breaking back in to tears...

"S-see Zayn..I kn-now I was being shit back there . It was b-because I was f-falling for you ..Hard..A-and it was scaring me . I-I never talked to you b-but still you made me feel things which w-were so much ..ma-magical...Since the be-ginning I was fe-eling that way for you...But then I w-was suppose to lea-ave for Lo-ondon I wasn't able to con-ntrol it more ....I thought to talk to you b-but you w-were hurt and I tried to ch-heck if you l-like me or not by just joking o-on you...And when yo-ou didn't fight against me it-it was clear t-that you liked me...And hell I was s-so happy but I wasn't ab-ble to show you false d-dreams and I thought maybe I'll just leave y-you with the worse memory so that you'll forget ab-bout me and move on with some perfect guy which is just as perfect as you....So I s-somehow said those words and everytime I thought about that were pretty bad moments....I am so sorry Zayn for that..I know we were only 16 and that b-but ...That was silly of me to think like that ..That hurting you will make you not like me for your own good ..I am heartily s-sorry for that..."

I was shook..

What the hell even happened here? Is this a dream? Is Liam Payne really crying over me??

"P-please say something , Zayn ..You can s-say you hate m-"

"I liked you too , Liam...You are right..I was falling for you too...And I just never told you because I never wanted to be an obstacle between you and your career....But I was a bit ...Hurt...Well a lot..I thought you never liked me and then you were gone..I was prepared for that...It was tough for me..I-I thought what I was f-feeling for you will g-go away...And it did...It was more l-like I was not feeling anything like that for an-nyone....But when y-you said those wor-ds I-II I don-nt ..I-II- "

This time it were all the sparks I imagined it will be...His lips moved smoothly over mine as if trying to mend what was broken those years ago....The way his hands fitted on my waist made one tear stroll down my cheek with my lower lip being brushed softly between his' and the way he pulled me into him ; engulfing me without breaking our second kiss made a sob let it's way from my mouth.....

He pulled back looking at me with his red eyes and with small pace like a first rain drop , he rubbed the side of my cheek removing the significance of any tear....

"Zayn, is this really too early to tell you that I am in love with you?"

He asked me while tilting my face up to meet his contact which hold so much emotions in them ....And all it took was one tear drop from his eyes to make my heart find that SPECIFIC PLACE where my feelings were blured but this time they were Crystal clear ....

"I-is it too early if I-I say I am in l-love with you too?"

With one chuckle we both were again in each other's embrace with our lips brushing against one another's.....It was just like I read in books ...It hold all those promises one makes with their beloved one.....I felt those emotions again...I felt being LOVED.... And I again learnt how to love....

"Now..What do you want to eat?"

He mocked at me in order to lighten up the mood which actually happened....I smiled at him and he took me in a tight hug again....

"I wanted to do this since the very first day I laid my eyes on you...."

His voice was muffled in my hair which would have been a mess by now but who the fuck cares?
All I can do at that time was let out one relieved sigh and content with the feelings I was sure of.....

"Ohkay Mister Payne...Now let's do something amazayn other than eating .Really I am so much full from breakie ..We'll take dinner though..."

I told him while hitting his bicep slightly and looking at his fond smile present in his face....

"Okayyyyyy, princess....Uh Can I call you that?"

I rolled my eyes and replied

"Of-fucking course.."

"Oh is it?? First of why an illegal kid like you is cursing around so much?"

He playfully said at me while laughing and taking my hand towards the bed and leaning on his back while allowing me to sit beside him supporting my back on the pillow....

"So temme about everything..."

He said while rolling his way on the bed and keeping in head in my lap while looking at me with the LOVEFUL eyes..I know that's not the right word..But the person in love makes their own words.duh...

"About what?"

I asked him with the questioning look and my hands by default getting hooked in his hair and playing with the strands of those dark brown locks.....

"About every incidents when I was not with you..."

And just those mere words made my heart swell with love and it was enough for me to forget about all the pain that I felt those years....

The whole noon spend with us talking about everything about family and studies and all other stuffs with the story of him being friends with Niall and how he reached this stage of life with success.....

It didn't feel like we haven't talk before or like we were these many years apart but it was perfect in it's own way....We lived our moment till evening and took our dinner in the room ......

It was around 8 at night when he got a call from his mum asking him to be careful and stay here as it was heavy rain which was ordered by my dad too.....I saw text from dad with the same order and replied him with 'Okay and take care' and looked up to see Liam standing there in his sweats and tee ready for calling in night....

He handed me pink pyjamas and tee with my bag of slippers....My eyes twinkled as soon as my baby was handed to me...My slippers.....

He handed me the clothes which I think he must have taken from the shop after all he IS the owner one way or another....

I took the clothes and changed in the bathroom looking at the Tee which was a bit big for me but was comphy enough to sleep....

I stepped out of the bathroom only to meet Liam laying on the bed and looking at his phone intently with some serious expressions....I cleared my throat to get his attention....

He looked up at me suddenly and his eyes changed to relaxing one and signed me to come towards him with his hands...I made my way towards him and snuggled into him which somehow made me feel normal.....

"You really look like princess, Z"

"Um..T-thank you.."

I looked down shyly trying to hide my rosy cheeks but unfortunately Liam haulted my movement by turning my face towards his and looking at me without even blinking..Oh god this is so intense...

"Will you do me a favour of becoming my boyfriend for now?"

Now?

"Now?"

"Yeah...Then we won't be able to boyfriends ,Zayn.."

He was being serious....I was literally on the verge of crying...

"W-why? "

"After vows , people will call us husbands.."

I hit him hard this time when he started laughing at my reaction....He took my breath away...He took me on top of him while chuckling at me ......

"Okay okay..But what's your answer?I am serious now ..See"

I studied him for few minutes and leaned down to take his lips with mine and initiate the kiss...

"Yes"

I whispered in his ears and he took me in his arms hugging me and showering me with loads of kisses on my head....

"Thank you so much , princess"

"Thank YOU , Liam "

And we just looked into each other's eyes and it felt like this is it..This is what I want in my life...This IS my life .....And with one last kiss of that day we drifted to sleep in each other's embrace...I sighed in my sleep knowing the FINAL ACCEPTED TRUTH-

I REALLY LOVE LIAM PAYNE.....
