"If you are done devouring my chips, you may start telling me what's bothering you."

Zayn stormed off from the office to the BlueGreen apartment to rant to Louis. But instead of ranting, he has been binge-eating the family pack chips he found in Louis' kitchen. Louis has been patient enough to let Zayn eat while he snapchated Harry who was at work. Then Harry had to get back to work and now Louis has got to interrupt Zayn's marathon eating.

Zayn put the chips away and sighed looking at Louis. Uh Oh. So it's bad.

"I fought with Liam!"

"And what's new in that? Isn't that what you always do?"

Louis asked genuinely confused. Fighting is their aesthetic. Like fonding is his and Harry's.

"No Louis! I haven't fought with him like this in a long time. It has just been banter and pranks. But today I really snapped at him and then stormed off. He snapped at me too. And it wasn't fun!"

"Oooh, are we feeling guilty now?"

"Louis.."

Zayn warned. He was not in the mood. But yes he was feeling guilty.

"Alright. What made you snap at him anyway?"

Zayn looked at his nails. How was he going to explain?

"It's just.. Okay. Don't judge me!"

"100% I will!"

Zayn ignored Louis and jumped into explain what happened.

"Wait, so Charlie is your client?"

"Yes!"

"So what's the problem?"

"Ugh, Louis! You know I hate that guy. His stupid leather jacket and goofy smile and 'I'm Mr Nice' attitude! And who even does eyebrow slit anymore!?"

Louis snickered at that. Did Zayn forget he had a leather jacket phase plus the eyebrow slit?

"And his fashion sense is irritating you?"

"Stop being judgemental Louis! It's just-"

"If I didn't know better I would think you have issues with Charlie because your husband had a crush on him when he was 18. But do I know better?"

Louis smirked when Zayn didn't answer. So that's it then? Mr. Malik-Payne is jealous? What's new!?

"It's not that Louis! Liam can have crush on whoever he wants. I don't care! What I care about is if they started flirting back and forth, our project won't move forward and I can't risk it. If they wanna date, they can go outside and- ugh! Alright, I'm jealous! Happy?"

Louis laughed out loud. He has been giving Zayn the stare that he likes to call "don't lie to your Daddy" and just like it worked every time, it worked now too. Zayn caved.

"Why are you jealous though? You don't even like Liam!"

"Yeah, of course I don't. I'm just.. You know what, jealousy is not the word."

"Possessive!"

"Erm.. Kinda? He's my husband for fucks sake! What will people say if he started flirting with Charlie?!"

Zayn gasped for extra dramatics and Louis shook his head. Desi blood, desi drama.

"If only divorce was an option I would just do it and be free! I have to see his face not only at home, at work too! And now I'll have to endure their flirting! God hates me!"

Louis decided to ask that one question he never got answer to. Zayn looks like he is in a mood to rant. So maybe he can get it out?

"Honestly what's your problem with him? Weren't you guys best of friends all through your childhood? Even when we met, you guys were friends. And then suddenly one day you're ignoring him like the plague and he's hanging out with anyone that isn't you and then you are enemies! What the hell happened?"
