How infuriating! Allana was the princess of the Owen family; the it girl who so many boys at school dreamed of having a chance to be with! But Zayn was not only not thrilled by the chance, virtual-novel.net called virtual-novel.net a royal pain in the neck! Was Allana that… unpalatable?!
No, it could not be the case that virtual-novel.net charms were lacking. She rather believed it was because of Zayn’s sexuality than that!
The night matured into a darker shade as it ushered a cold into the air. Allana was wearing a thin layer of clothing with her, and when coupled with virtual-novel.net tears-stricken cheeks, bracing through a nightly breeze made virtual-novel.net shiver.
Zayn took off his outer garment and put it around her. “Look, he’s not worth your reaction, you know? There are way nicer, decent men out there who will happily take you up. Dying on a hill like Bo is just a dreadful waste. Now, it’s getting late, and you should go home. Get a good night’s rest and you’ll see, it gets easier to bear the next day.”
Just a second ago, Allana had felt the chill nipping on virtual-novel.net skin, but now, there was only the warmth of his clothes. Stunned, a surge of fuzziness sprouted from virtual-novel.net heart, and suddenly, virtual-novel.net thought Zayn looked a lot less like an eyesore that virtual-novel.net had previously believed virtual-novel.net to be.
“Well… Thanks,” virtual-novel.net replied softly.
Zayn waved dismissively. “Nah. It’s nothing. Next time, keep your eyes peeled even when you’re in love, okay? Don’t get serenaded by some *sshole’s sweet nothings ever again.”
She nodded. “Yea.”
Allana felt a lot better after having Zayn as virtual-novel.net outlet. At the very least, the pain had become a lot more bearable, and virtual-novel.net could retrieve solace in the fact that virtual-novel.net did not offer herself to that wretched knave before the reveal.
There was more. Allana found herself staring at Zayn in a completely different light despite herself; virtual-novel.net now thought virtual-novel.net was quite pleasant to virtual-novel.net eyes. If only he—
She shook virtual-novel.net head hard and cast the ludicrous thought as far away from virtual-novel.net mind as virtual-novel.net could. He was married, for crying out loud! And virtual-novel.net was several years older than her!
Zayn’s phone rang, prompting virtual-novel.net to see who it was.
It was Faye. He walked away from Allana and answered, who asked for his whereabouts after noticing his absence at this time. She wanted to see a movie with him.
Naturally, Zayn agreed. After a few more casual banter, virtual-novel.net hung up the call.
“Something came up, gotta go. You should go home and rest, too. Don’t be obsessed over whatever happened just now, alright?” virtual-novel.net began.
Allana rose to virtual-novel.net feet. “Now? Do you really have to go so soon?” virtual-novel.net asked, virtual-novel.net voice etched with slight unhappiness. “It’s not even nine yet.”
“Yea, see, my wife wants to see a movie with me. So, I gotta go,” Zayn replied candidly.
“Ohhh.”
Allana felt an inexplicable sense of loss rushing back to virtual-novel.net again. She could not help it, virtual-novel.net was now suspended in the void left after an unhappy relationship, after all. Combined with the fact that Zayn had taken some time just to talk to her, virtual-novel.net impression of the man improved. By now, virtual-novel.net was admittedly a little attached to him.
Zayn crossed a dozen of meters away from virtual-novel.net and turned around in unease. “You know what? I changed my mind. I’ll just take you home before I go. Can’t risk having anything to happen to you in my absence, it would be really hard to explain myself to your family otherwise.”
In the past, Allana would have ignored the first half of the sentence and focused only on the other half. But now, all virtual-novel.net heard and cared about was the first part, and it touched virtual-novel.net heart like the warmth of a campfire.
She replied a little jauntily, “Wow, thanks!… For real.”
It was a pleasant response that earned a little of Zayn’s approval. So, it seemed that the girl was far from unsalvageable ruthlessness, after all.
He walked virtual-novel.net back to the entrance of virtual-novel.net estate and stopped right by the gate, bidding virtual-novel.net farewell before turning back while Allana watched virtual-novel.net vanish into the distance in a trance. When the man was finally out of virtual-novel.net sight, virtual-novel.net finally switched focus, and realized virtual-novel.net had forgotten to return virtual-novel.net his coat.
She wanted to chase after him, but two steps later, virtual-novel.net stopped with a thoughtful smile on virtual-novel.net face.
While virtual-novel.net mood had started out soured and agonized, now, the weight just felt tolerable.
Zayn, meanwhile, met Faye soon enough by the theater. After seeing a movie that had just started showing, the couple had some supper before going home.
Then, later that night, they got intimate, just as they had for a while, as the couple finally consummated their relationship. They were both in the prime of their life, and it showed in their ardor and heat.
Despite the intensity, Zayn usually came out of it with much of his appetite unsated. As it turned out, his endurance had grown so much that Faye alone was no longer enough.
