I'm Already Taken (Sequel to I'm Already Torn)

Chapter 13 - Becoming Cinderella

“Sorry,” I muttered against his shoulder. “I was craving hot chocolate and you know I can’t have hot chocolate without mini marshmallows. Liam didn’t have any and I knew you always had an extra bag hidden in your cupboard.” I stammered without breathing throughout the sentences.

            “Calm down!” he grasped my shoulders and looked me in the eyes. “I'm just glad I didn’t take your head off like a pumpkin.” I laughed and the tea kettle began to ring as the steam escaped. I poured myself a class of the boiling water, added two chocolate powder packets because one just tastes like warm brown water. I plopped the marshmallows in and smiled contently.

“All set.” I smiled and started making my way towards his door but he stood in my way.

“Hang on, I have someone upstairs who might want to see you,” he winked and a thousand possibilities raced through my head.

            “Zayn, I really don’t want to say ‘hi’ to your hooker.” I joked but in my head I seriously thought he might have one upstairs. I didn’t know with this guy.

            “Haha, no.” he said seriously then broke into a tooth-bearing smile. “Come on.” he held out his hand and I linked mine in it without thinking. He walked up the stairs and I felt like Wendy following Peter Pan. Honestly, could it get any cornier? We walked into his room and his laptop was set up facing his head board. He held a finger to hips lips and broke apart our hands to walk over to the screen.

            “Hey! Did you catch the bad guy?” a childish voice called from the laptop and I had to hold a hand over my mouth to stop from squealing.

            “Not a bad guy, Jake.” Zayn smiled a knowing smile in my direction before flicking his eyes back to the screen.

            “Who’s there?” the little boy asked, excited. Zayn motioned for me to join him and I walked swiftly over, putting my mug down on the bedside table.

            “Hey Jacob!” I smiled at Zayn’s cousin’s son. I decided to call him Zayn’s nephew because always saying Zayn’s cousin’s son was too much of a mouthful.

            “Hey Lissy!” He broke into a huge smile over the video chat.

            “How are you kiddo?” I smiled to the corners of my eyes, I loved Jacob, he was such a sweetheart and what person doesn’t love six year olds.

            “Good, I lost a tooth!” He put his hand in his mouth to point out the large gap in his front teeth.

            “Did you give it to the tooth fairy?” I asked, going along with this enthusiasm. I could feel Zayn’s eyes on me and he slid a hand around my waist low enough from the camera so Jacob wouldn’t see it.

            “Yeah, I got three bucks for it!” I gasped, partially because I was acting, partially because I only ever got 50 cense if I was lucky. My mother was never really sober enough to notice if I lost a tooth. I leaned into Zayn naturally without thinking and he rested his head on top of mine.

            “Lissy, do you love Zayn?” Jacob asked innocently and suddenly I was hyperaware of every part of my body that was touching his. I was aware also of how his breathing got heavy and his toned abdomen was pressing against my back. He coughed uncomfortably as Jacob looked on us expectantly. I remembered the night before. He had told me he loved me, and I loved him back, but oddly it felt weird thinking that now.

            “Uh, Jake,” Zayn said, breaking the silence. “That’s really not something…”

            “But you’re her prince, right? And isn’t the Princess supposed to always love the Prince?” he asked. I was baffled by how easy it seemed, I had never realized that when I was younger. I looked around to the clock and it was almost midnight.

            “I better go, if Liam comes looking for me I don’t want him to worry.” I hopped off the bed like it had shocked me. Forgetting my hot chocolate I made a quick dash for the stairs. Zayn started to come after me so I quickened my pace down the stairs. One of my UGGs got caught on the lip of the stair and it fell off as I kept running.

            “Hey,” Zayn said reaching for my arm as he caught up to me. “Where do you think you’re going?” he asked. And pulled my body towards him, the heat radiating off his naked chest made it hard not to melt into him again.

            “Home,” I closed my eyes, trying to block out what he was doing to me. Every time we were alone he had some kind of spell over me, and it always ended in a ferocious snogging session. Whoa, don’t I sound British?

            “Nope,” He whispered hot breath in my ear sending shivers over my lower back. In one fluent movement he had spun me to face him, and leaned me back so I had no choice but to rest on his trusting arms. “Don’t you know that horrible things happen when the Prince lets his princess get away?” he cooed.

            “His?” I asked, cocking and eyebrow and he smiled, it had enough magic to make ten thousand girls fall like putty into him, but not me. I had the strength and power of ten thousand and one girls! Ok, that was a lie, I melted like chocolate into his biceps and he leaned in to kiss me. Right before he connected his lips to my awaiting ones, an old grandfather clock chimed midnight. And in that magical moment, we kissed. And in that magical moment I was his Cinderella.
