Chapter Twenty-Six

"Absolutely not! No that's- nope no." he shrieked stumbling over his words.

Louis laughed clutching his stomach and rolling over on to his back "Oh God, your face! It was worth a try though."

"Not funny! Really though, I should go Lou tomorrow the boys are spending the night at my mums and I'm getting my stiches out..." Zayn trailed of thinking of the other thing he planned to do that day. "it's a busy day."

Louis picked up on Zayn hesitance rolling back to his side "What else do you have to do? Why are the boys going to your mums?"

"Mum said I'd probably be a little tired after getting my stitches out so she offered to take them, plus Safaa really wants to see them."

"Liar." he accused full of confidence "Tell me the real reason."

"Bloody hell!" Zayn groaned throwing himself back on his bed so that the only thing Louis could see on his screen were Zayn's bent knees. "Fine! I'm...meetingupwithAlex."

"Pardon me, what?"

"I'm meeting Alex... to talk?" he murmured doing everything he could to avoid the others gaze.

"Talk about what? What is there to fucking talk about? You didn't love him, he didn't love you, he cheated on you, you dumped him, you forgave me, you're dating me! What the hell do you need to talk to Alex about?" Louis seethed

Zayn flinched at Louis' tone but immediately calmed, he knew Louis wasn't mad at him, he knew Louis wasn't even mad about the fact he was meeting with Alex. Louis was nervous and maybe a little scared the something would happen during that conversation and Zayn would realize that maybe Alex was better than him and Alex would realize how big a mistake he made hurting Zayn. Louis was scared he'd go back to being Louis Tomlinson, lonely, angry Louis Tomlinson who went around sleeping with anyone he could to try and fill some sort of void.

Zayn knew that. 

He reassured Louis that none of those things were going to happen, revealed Devin's pregnancy and Zayn promised to call him before and after they met and to text him during, Zayn couldn't deny him because he knew if Louis were going to meet Eleanor he'd want the same.

It was 1:45 and Zayn was sitting at a back booth at Toff's glaring at the man in front of him, Alex and his blonde hair, Alex and his blue eyes and his stupid fucking gray v-neck. The longer he sat there the more he regretted even agree to this, in the end would anything Alex had to say change his mind or make him feel better? Probably not.

"So... I have a meeting at three so I guess I better explain."

"Yeah. I assume so." Zayn sneered taking a sip of his Coke and wishing there was Jack Daniel's in it, he still wasn't allowed to drink due to the medication he was still on

"I- I never meant for this to happen." Alex started with a pleading tone that only made Zayn scoff and cross his arms over his chest.

"It's true, The first time I... you know, with him, that was meant to be it done, over. I made him promise not to say anything to you because I loved you. I really did. But then we went to America and it really was business, we were mapping out places for new wells and other things but... my feelings for him never went away. I remember the first day I met him." Alex smiled at the thought of the day he met Devin.

"It was a year before I met you, he came in to interview for the position of my secretary and the second my eyes locked on him... it had to be." 

Zayn threw his hand up motioning for Alex to stop talking... he didn't give a damn about how Alex and Devin met or how they fell in love. He wanted to know why Alex chose to end things with him the way he did, why he chose to do it in a way so close to how his heart was broken the first time by someone he loved with all his heart.
