Forty Eight

Liam opened the door to find Zayn rubbing at his eyes.

"Zee.. Where were you?"

Zayn looked at Liam tiredly. He had enough rest at Zileh's place. Hopefully he can hold it in for the rest of the night.

"I fell asleep at Zileh's. She sent you cinnamon rolls."

Zayn pushed a box into Liam's hands and walked up stairs. Was Zayn okay? But he was at Zileh's. So..

"Did you eat?"

Oh yeah. Zayn had cupcakes and muffins and then cinnamon rolls. He wasn't hungry-

"I made you chicken kebabs."

Okay, Zayn is hungry.

"I'll freshen up and come?"

Where was his excitement for chicken kebabs? Liam frowned. Maybe he was just imagining things.

Zayn came down changed into his grey sweatpants and over sized hoodie that made him look extra cuddly. His hair was a wet mess and he looked like a cute kitten.

"What?"

It was when Zayn asked that, Liam realised he was staring. So he just shook his head and went to the kitchen to take the food out.

"Can we eat in the kitchen? I like to eat in the kitchen."

Why was Zayn asking? He can just come inside the kitchen and eat there, sitting on the counter top like he always does!

"Sure! Then we don't even need to take the plates!"

Liam said excitedly. He didn't want to wash extra dishes.

"Remember when we had that soap water fight?"

Liam asked giggling at the memory. That felt like years ago. It was only a few months.

"That was at my house. And I still don't know how that happened!"

"So you really didn't do it?"

Liam frowned as he turned with ketchup in his hand. Why did he take it? Oh right, Zayn likes it.

"What? You still think I did it?"

Zayn shook his head. Yes he liked to mess with Liam but he would never hurt Liam in the process and that day Liam really fell flat on his bum.

"My bet is that bitch Zeenat. She probably did it to mess up your cooking. Little did she know Gordon Ramsay can't fail!"

Liam rolled his eyes even though he could feel the butterflies at the compliment.

Zayn was sitting cross legged on the counter with a plate of kebab in his lap. Looked like he was really concentrating on food. If Liam blurted out "I Love You" right now, Zayn might choke on his kebab. Maybe he should do it later. When they're in the room maybe? No! That's so unromantic. It's his first "I Love You." Should be special. Maybe he should plan a date for tomorrow? It's Sunday.

"Liam, can we go out tomorrow?"

Zayn suddenly asked breaking Liam's thoughts. Was he thinking out loud? How did Zayn know Liam was planning to take him out? This is not fair! He was supposed to ask! Liam tried not to pout. Zayn doesn't need to know he just ruined Liam's plans.

"Sure.. Where?"

Zayn shrugged. He didn't know.

"Maybe the cinema? And then we can have dinner from that Indian restaurant by the mall? And maybe we can go stargazing at the cliff?"
