My Favorite First (Zayn Malik)

Chapter 9

I reach over and put my hand on Sam's knee as I drive back to my house. She places her hand on mine and rubs her fingers gently over the top of my hand. Her touch is so soft and comforting.

We make it home and within a half hour people start piling into the house. Sam stays close to me. Honestly, I think she's handling herself really well for being in a house full of strangers.

"Are you doing okay?" I ask her. I had to lean down and get right next to her ear due to the volume of the music.

I stand back up to look at her response. She smiles, nods, and stares up at me. It looks like she's got something to say. So, I lean down and bring my ear closer to her to hear. Just then, I feel a nibble on my earlobe. A jolt of electricity runs down my spine.

I stand back up straight and look down at her biting her lip and one eyebrow raised. Fuck! Why did I have to have a house full of people right now?!

"You are not playing fair." I inform her.

"Who's playing?" She challenges back.

I love her playful spirit. I've never dated a girl like her before. She keeps me on my toes.

I look back at her to respond and she looks past me with the smile fading from her face. I turn to look over my shoulder to find Erin standing right beside me with a fake smile on her face. I don't know why she tries. Her face looks like it's in pain when she does that.

"Hi, Zayn. Great party, as usual." She declares and never once makes eye contact with Sam.

"Thanks. You know where everything is. Help yourself." I answer.

"Don't mind if I do." She responds in such a way that sucks all the positive vibe out of the area.

She proceeds past me with her friend and places her hand on my shoulder as she goes. Really? In front of my girlfriend?

I look down to see Sam staring down at the ground. My chest begins to ache. I place my fingers under her chin to bring her head up and kiss her. I'll have words with Erin later.

"I have to go to the restroom." Sam informs me and walks down the hall.

I make sure Erin doesn't see her go and doesn't follow her. I wouldn't put it past her. That girl has a a temper and always gets her way. She wanted to have sex the other day and I told her no. I couldn't believe how angry she got. I need to keep my eye on her tonight and keep Sam out of her reach.

"Malik! Let's show these lads how to really play!" Dave yells from the pool table across the room.

Why not? Schooling a few assholes in pool never hurts. I begin to make my way over through the crowd and get shoulder bumped by someone passing by.

"Sorry about that. Didn't mean to almost knock ya arse over tit, mate."

I look over to find the voice belonged to Harry.

"Styles! Good to see ya. You want a drink?" I'm surprised the guy actually showed up.

"I'm good for now. Thanks."

"Malik! Let's go!" Dave impatiently yells.

"Styles, could you do me a huge favor and keep an eye on Sam while I show these lads how to play pool? Erin is in a mood and I really don't want her taking it out on Sam."

"Yeah, man. Don't worry."

"Thanks." I say over my shoulder as I continue through the crowd.

I head over to the pool table and begin to play. I'm barely through a couple games when Sam approaches me.

"Harry and I will be out back." She informs me.

I look up to see him looking at me. Now, that's a man of his word. I give him a nod of thanks.

As I finish up a game, Erin comes staggering over with her friend Laura in tow. They didn't hesitate to start drinking.

"Looks like your girlfriend is a little preoccupied. Do you wanna head to your room for a couple minutes?" She slurs in my ear. I think she thinks she's whispering but she's quite loud.

"I don't think so, Erin. Go find another leg to hump. I'm taken." I say quietly to her as to not make a scene.

"Really? You'd rather have that than this?" She waves her hand in front of her body.

"Don't make a scene. I've got a girlfriend."

"That never stopped you before!"

"Well, it's stopping me now." I answer and turn away to let her know that this conversation is finished.

"Where is that little goodie goodie? Maybe it's time to mess with her world a little bit." Erin slurs to Laura as they walk away.

Shit! Fucking Erin! What in the hell is her problem?

I tell my friends I'm sitting out the next game so I can keep an eye on Erin as she searches the house for Sam. After a good 20 minutes, she begins to head for the back door. Fuck! I stand up and follow them outside.

When I reach the door, the girls have wedged themselves on either side of Harry. Sam looks uncomfortable. I lean against the doorway to observe what's going on but remain on guard if anything escalates.

People keep coming up behind me saying goodbye and complimenting me on another successful party. I glance back at Sam to see her looking at her phone and then, she turns to look at me. There's that smile.

She walks towards me and I can't help but pull her in for a kiss before saying a word to her.

"The party is winding down. Are you ready to go to bed?" I whisper in her ear.

"I thought you'd never ask." She whispers back.

After a night dealing with Erin, I want nothing more than to show Sam how much she means to me.

I lock my bedroom door and immediately, I am drawn to Sam. I want to kiss all that uncomfortable feeling Erin was drowning her in away. My lips travel across her jawline and down her neck as they have multiple times before.

I pull myself away from our intoxicating connection and slowly remove her shirt revealing her full breasts just screaming to be let out of her bra.

Before I completely let my hormones takes over, I ask, "Are you okay with this?"

She give me a look that instantly makes me want to bend her over my bed right now and have my way with her and nods.

A/N- Now I wonder what they'll be doing in the next chapter! ;) Please, comment, vote, and/or share. I know a promise of an update in a week has turned into a couple but I will try to be better. Thank you for continuing to read this! It means the world to me! :)
