Question: VMA drama? Who will benefit Zaniella or Gerella? 😂
Danny POV
I felt lips trail along my neck and groaned in protest to the idea of waking up. It was two days till the VMAs now which meant court was also coming up. Facing my father, Gerald, and everyone else in a court room.
"Wake up love." I opened my eyes before closing them and burying myself against the tattooed chest.
"One more hour."
"It's nearly ten pm I'm making you dinner." I opened my eyes and pulled away slightly. He smirked slightly and ran his thumb along my bottom lip. "I knew that would wake you up."
"I always need my post sex nap." I stretched before sitting up, he did as well and kissed along my shoulder.
" Your phone was buzzin' I'll go start cooking." He got up and slipped on some loungers before tossing me my phone. Two missed calls from Gerald, five from Ellie. I sighed and sat back calling Gerald back first.
"Hello?"
"Hey. Kevin just wanted to say good night. He already fell asleep though." He chuckled slightly. "How are you?"
"I'm good. How about you?"
"Too wired to sleep. I went out with that Taylor girl. She was real weird. I'm glad my mom had Kevin cause she was persistent on coming back to my place to have sex. I fucking took another girl home to fend her off." I couldn't help but laugh, though it still felt weird talking to Gerald about other girls. "She's bringing her father by tomorrow. I don't fucking know why."
"Well I'll be there. I'm curious. I gotta call Ellie, she's blowing up my phone."
"Alright D good night queen."
"Good night Gerald." I hung up and sighed. It was hard, but we did it for Kevin. Next I called Ellie only to hear her sobs.
"Dee I'm outside your building. Can I come in? Grady and I got in a fight." I sighed slightly and got out of bed, putting it on speaker.
" Yeah come on up Ellie. You should have just come up without question." I put on some sweats and a t-shirt before hanging up. Zayn was cooking, music playing as the door bell began to ring.
"Whose that?"
"Ellie." I sighed and walked to the door, opening it only to get engulfed in a hug. "Aw Ellie. What happened?"
"He was saying he doesn't know if he wants kids and I just can't handle him right now! O gosh. I didn't know you were here." She wiped the snot from her nose and I chuckled.
" Your having dinner with us love." Zayn came over with a tissue. Ellie was staring at his body as she blew her nose. I bit my lips not to laugh and check on the skillet of salmon. " You want a drink?"
"Yea that'd be great." Zayn walked over to me and kissed my neck.
"I'll worry about dinner. Go relax with her in the lounge and I'll get you two some wine."
"Thanks babe." I took Ellie's hand and wanders to the living room, sighing softly.
"I can see why you came back to him. He's fucking perfect."
"He's not perfect and we're just.... Sort of friends with benefits." I shrugged. "So Grady is on some fuck shit."
"Whats new." She sighed and dug out her phone which was blowing up. "I never have a dull day."
"Why do you think I've been distancing myself. I need to stay out of fuck shit till that court case clears my ownership of the company." I took the glass from Zayn and took a swig. She waited till Zayn was back in the kitchen to talk.
"So you and Gerald?"
"Are divorced." I looked down at my glass.
"You two talk though. I saw you two in your office a couple times."
"You know I'll always love him, but I can't keep playing this game Ellie." I downed my glass before shaking my head. "The world wants party Gerald who has sex, drinks, does drugs. I couldn't keep doing that on top of him selling the company."
"So you're falling for Zayn?" She whispered and I shrugged.
"Isn't it nice to not wonder where your guy is at 2am? Isn't nice to not have to explain to Kevin about why daddy is saying crazy shit? Like I said to Gerald. If only things were different." I kept lying through my teeth. Zayn knew the truth. Him and I were wasting time. Nothing was between us.
"I understand more than you know." She took a big swig of her drink before sitting back. " You know most of those songs are about you in some way."
"I know. Maybe in the end it's him and I. Got that crazy kind of love." I zoned out till Zayn brought in the food. It was nice just sitting and eating in silence. Yet I found myself alone that night at three am. Ellie asleep in the guest room and Zayn asleep by me. I climbed out of bed and to my office scrolling through some old tracks as I brought up a blank page.
Him and I
To my lover, I'd never lie
He said "be true," I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I
He's out his head, I'm out my mind
We got that love; the crazy kind
I am his, and he is mine
In the end, it's him and IThey don't want to see us make it, they just want to divide
2017 Bonnie & Clyde
Wouldn't see the point of living on if one of us died, yeah
Got that kind of style everybody try to rip offI sent the tiny bit to Gerald before sitting back as I closed the laptop just listening to the beat. I nearly jumped out of my skin when my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"What are you doing up?" His voice was husky he'd surely just smoked and was probably in the studio at home.
"Couldn't sleep. Did I wake you?"
"Nah couldn't sleep. I like what you sent. I'll probably fiddle around with it for awhile." I could hear the beat playing in the background and curled up in my chair. "Grady said Ellie was over your place?"
"Yeah you know those two." I forced myself to get out of my chair and move to the sofa in my office. "Ger?"
"Yeah Dee?"
"Can you just talk to me or just stay on the phone till I go to sleep." He chuckled slightly.
"Not even a question baby girl." I closed my eyes listening to him fiddle with beats and talk about Kevin and his day. Only now did I realize how much I missed home, but we had to keep playing this game.
