Selena's POV
I took two steps ahead of him before I flip my head to face the boy standing behind me "Well, you can't just keep standing there if you want to send me home Mr.Malik," I tell him as he grins widely and takes two steps ahead, just so he can stand beside me
"Lead the way your majesty," he jokes as I chuckle "You're the boss,"
"Well," I smirk at him "We're on our way then," I giggle as I take my slow steps ahead as I noticed how Zayn would sway his hands back and forth as he walked, his eyes focused on the sidewalk as he tried to avoid any rubbish in his way. He finally flicked his head to his right and smiled widely as he noticed my gaze which was already on him.
"What are you looking at?," he asks as I laugh lightly
"You," I say as we stop at a stoplight, waiting for the signal to turn red " It's so cute how you're so careful," I say as he nods lightly
"My mum had thought us to walk like that since we were young, so I think I'm trained to walk like that," he chuckles as he looks away from me to see the road "I think they're slowing down," he says and looks at the stoplight as the colour red was shining, indicating we could start walking "Let's go," he says as his left hand gets ahold of my right hand.
My breath hitches as I feel his warm grip on my wrist. My eyes move towards his hands as I scanned how firm his hands were as it stayed plastered on mine. It was not the type of grip that would hurt me or threaten me, it was a sweet gesture that he used to protect me or shield me from any harm, just like the same grip he had on me in our classroom a few minutes ago.
"Come on ," he says as he gestured me to follow him while he took his steps and pulled me to follow his steps. My eyes then shifted from our hands towards his face as I saw how his head was positioned to look at the cars that were sitting behind the yellow pedestrian crossing before he flicked his head towards the stoplight in front of us. He scanned the stoplight before looking down at the road to make sure there weren't any obstacles in front of us that could make us trip. He then flicked his head to look at me who was a step behind him as he smiled widely, his big, caramel brown eyes shone with the evening sunlight that scattered above us. I looked at him in adoration as I noticed how his lips were moving. He was saying something to me but I was in a trance as I felt the world around me was moving in slow motion and the only thing that moved in a normal speed was the two of us. I stare blankly at him as he stopped walking and let go of my hand before he took his place beside me. I frown at the loss of contact on my wrist before I take ahold of my wrist as I hear a faint voice call me out.
"Selena," it said as I realize my world coming back into a normal speed "Selena!," I look back up from my wrist as I see Zayn stand in front of me instead of beside me "You okay?," he asks me as I blush lightly
"Me?," I feel the string of embarrassment hit me "I'm fine," I smile lightly, regaining my posture as Zayn smiles back
"Really?," he asks back "You looked really lost back there. You didn't even realize we made it to the platform," he says as I look down to see my feet standing on the platform.
I mentally curse myself before looking up back towards Zayn "I was just," I scratch the back of my neck "Distracted," I say as I lowly chuckle "The sun was too bright," I say as Zayn looks from me to the sky.
"Well then," he said as he stared directly at the sky "I don't think the sun would stay for our party for long," he looks back at me as I realized it was my turn to look at the sky. I noticed how the clouds were turning into a shade of dark grey indicating it was going to rain soon. I frown before looking back at Zayn as he laughed lightly at my reaction "It's going to rain," he smiled as he got back his composure
