Boxed love by Me =/ (books for 7th graders TXT) 📕

"Hey buddy!" Zayn laughs, kneeling down to get on his level.

"Big brother!" A teenager runs up, similarly to I'm assuming her little brother.

"Hey Vic!" He pulls them both into a hug and I smile at them. He looks up at me and says, "Guys, this is my girlfriend, Storm. Storm, these are my siblings, Victoria and Eric." My heart fluttered when he called me his girlfriend.

"Hi!" I greet them with a smile.

"Girlfriend ay? I'm Tom, Zayn's father." Says a man coming up to us and holding his hand out. I shake his hand and Zayn gives him a hug. Then a woman comes up. "Hello Zayn." She says coldly, completely ignoring my presents. Okay then... I'm assuming that's his mother. His father sighs and shakes his head at his wife.

"Please excuse her. She is... A bit of a bitch. I wouldn't of married her if it was my choice" Tom tells me with a sigh when she walks away. I try to hold back my laughter but when Zayn fails to do the same, I cant hold it in. All of us laugh together and then we talk for a bit. Then his mother comes in with a girl, wearing a skin tight dress that makes her fake breasts almost spill out and only goes down to just below her butt, behind her. Everyone is confused including Tom. 

"Mary!" His mother screams. Ouch. A maid brings seven plates of food out and we eat in silence. I keep poking Zayn under the table and he does the same back. When we all finish his mother says, "Zayn. You know Stacey. She will be your girlfriend instead of the slut next to you."

 Zayn opens his mouth to say something but I get there first.

"Ma'am, if you dont mind... You dont know me. I haven't said I single word to you since I got here and you have made no effort to talk to me. I am not only in this for money. I have plenty to suffice my needs. I am not even close to being a slut. I have been in love with your son for seven months and don't plan on stopping any time soon. So please, don't assume you know me and don't pretend that you do. Now, continue with whatever you want but I'm done here." I stand up and walk out. I get lost trying to find a door, and instead I find a stair case instead sit down on it. I put my head in my hands and sigh. A few tears leak from my eyes and soon after I feel an arm around me.

"Hey baby..." Zayn whispers, running his hands through my hair. I look up at him and start crying harder.

"I'm so sorry Zayn!" I cry. He pulls me to his chest hugs me tighter.

"Shhhh... Its okay sweetheart... She deserved all of that. You were amazing. That took a lot of courage. I love you so much!" He whispers, kissing the top of my head, continuing to stroke my hair.

"I love you too... But you have to be with her." I sob.

"No I don't. I'm with you and I'm not stopping. I told her I refuse and the rest of my family agreed with me." He tells me softly.

I jump onto his lap wrapping my arms around his neck. "Thank you." I say kissing him. We hear three quiet "ooooo"s from behind us and I turn around, my arms still locked around Zayn. Standing in the doorway was Tom, Eric, and Victoria. My face heats up while they all smile.

Zayn clears his throat and says, "Uh hi..." I look to him and his cheeks are pink too.

We all talk for a while more, me staying firmly planted on my boyfriend's lap. About 45 minutes later him mom comes in the room.

"I'm sorry."

 She says it as cold as ever and it sounds very forced. Everyone stays quiet waiting for her to continue. She sighs annoyed and goes on. "It wasnt right of me to do that." With a roll of her eyes followed by my own. Zayn lifts me off of him as he stands up.

"We're gunna get going." He says with me still in his arms. Eric and Victoria run up to us.

"Put me down you weirdo!" I giggle trying to say goodbye to the kids. He reluctantly puts me down and I kneel down to Eric's level. "Bye bud." 

"Bye Storm!" He jumps into my arms causing me to fall backwards laughing. When we get up, I stand up and Zayn puts an arm on my shoulder.

"Don't steal my girl Eric!" He laughs. Eric laughs and runs back to his dad.

"Bye Victoria." I say, not knowing how she'll react. She hugs Zayn and pulls me into the group hug.

"Goodbye." She looks up at Zayn with sadness in her eyes. "Promise to visit soon?"

"Of course." Zayn smiles down at her. She releases her hold on him and wraps both arms around me.

"Thank you. For making him happy... If anyone is going to be with him I'm glad its you..." She whispers in my ear, only loud enough for me to hear. Her saying this brings tears to my eyes. I slightly pull away from the hug. I look down at her, smiling and nodding. She smile back and goes back to her dad. Zayn and I walk up to him. I go to shake his hand but he pulls me into a hug. Very huggy family I guess. 

"We hope to see you soon, Storm." He tells me while putting his arms around his kids. "You too Zayn." 

"Will do. Bye dad." He smiles at them. We head to the doorway where his mom stands. I look at her and slightly nod and pull Zayn out.

"I'm sorry if you wanted to say bye to her..." 

"Its fine Storm. After what she said I'm upset with her. Let's get going?" I nod and we head back. Once we get back to our building I ask Zayn if we can visit Owen. "Sure. Lets go." We walk to Owens unit and I knock. A bit later Owen opens the door in nothing but boxers, Zach in the same situation.

"Uhh... Did we interrupt something?" I laugh.

"You're so mean, Storm." Owen says turning red and jokingly glaring at me. Zach comes up behind his boyfriend.

"Hey Storm. What's up?" We have a quick conversation and then Zayn and I leave. We go to his apartment instead of mine. 

"Sorry its a bit of a mess." I look around a see nothing but a coffee cup on the coffee table.

"Oh shut up dork. Its spotless. Now, where's your room?" I ask.

"Really?" He asks smirking at me.

"Yup." He leads me to his room and I go to his closet. I put on one if his shirts and walk out, where he's taking his shirt off. I lay down on his bed waiting for him. He gives me a kiss and crawls next to me.

"Now, for sleep." I smirk at him as his disappears.

I wake up in the morning to sunlight coming though my curtains. Did I really leave them open? Ugh. I go to close them but I cant. I'm being weighed down by something? I turn to see a sleeping Zayn. I take a minute to take in his peaceful features. His messy, dirty blond hair hanging over his eyes, he lips turning up at the coners in a slight smile, his uncovered chest beside the tattoos all around it- wait. Smile???

"Good morning to you too, you ass." I glare at him.

"Took you long enough. Morning gorgeous." He says kissing my head. My glare turns into a smile as butterflies erupt from inside my stomach. I bring my head up and softy kiss his lips. After cuddling for a bit we get food and sit down on his couch.

"So I've been thinking..." He starts.

"I've been thinking too..." I start sweetly, and end goofyly. "That kind of how people work! Mind elaborating?" I giggle as he mocks me.

"I was thinking about how since I own this and can do whatever I want to it... Maybe we could break down that wall?" He points to the wall separating our units. "And then we would technically live together so I get if you don't want to... It was just an idea! You dont have to say-" 

I cut him off with a kiss and then say, "Yes." His eyes light up and he tells me he'll get someone to do it tomorrow. We spend the rest of the day goofing off and watching the Twilight series.

"You've never seen this before? Its awesome!" I say when we finish all four movies. 

"No but I do agree that they're good though." 

"Good!"

 Two months later we have taken the wall out and have been living together and happy. I'm a little nervous because I'm over a month late so I'm going to the doctor today. Zayn doesn't know, and he'll be at an emergency meeting that he doesn't need me at.
