~Evric's POV~
I walked closer, my breathing shallow. Zayn must have caught my scent or felt the tension in the air. He slowly raised his head. His eyes widened when they met mine, and his voice came out as a shaken gasp. He didn't know whether to call me Babe or Evric.
He wanted to speak, to explain, to lie, or perhaps to simply apologize, but I cut him off, my voice dangerously calm. "Should I wait for you, or not?"
Zayn was silent for a full minute, his gaze desperately trying to read my expression, searching for the anger or the heartbreak I was working so hard to conceal.
"I was about to dress up and go and meet my friends," he finally said, his voice regaining a fraction of its composure.
"Okay," I replied, the word flat. "Are you still going there? I can drop you off and come back to pick you up later." I was trying so hard to act like everything was normal, like the woman in his shirt and the early shower meant nothing.
