After bidding farewell to the boys Liam dropped me back home. “Thanks a ton mate .I will see you soon.” I said hugging him. “Zayn subtle changes seem to have taken place in your demeanor . Since they are propitious and you seem buoyant I won’t prod you much in revealing the reason behind it.”  Liam said muffled against my shoulder. “ I love you daddy”, I said grinning.

Waving goodbye to Liam I decided to check on my bags. The last few weeks had been crazy busy but somehow I had managed to finish my packing in bits here and there. It was a matter of four hours before I would be home in the presence of my loving family. I was going on a ten month tour around the globe thus I wanted to make the most of this week with my family and friends in my hometown Bradford.

My phone rang.

The number lighting up my screen was unfamiliar. “Hello Zayn Malik here.” I answered. “Hey I hope I didn’t disturb you.” The voice on the other end was music to my ears. I did not need a guess to know who the caller was but the brat in me decided to have a little fun. “Well Miss anonymous you have interrupted my landing on planet Mars .You should’ve caught hold of my schedule first before deciding to dial my number”.

She laughed. “Houston we have a problem. Please can you delay your date with the aliens for a while.” “ Yes ma’m I can. Now will you tell me  what is the problem Allana.” I said sitting on the edge of my bed.

“I will tell you on one condition. Do not I repeat do not laugh at all and promise me that you will not tell this to anybody  especially Niall.” She was threatening me in an amusing tone. “ I promise it will be our secret.” I said assuring her.

“Pinky promise .” She chirped.

“ A promise is a promise irrespective of the colour pink , blue or black.” I huffed. Girls I tell you.

“No silly a pinky promise means that if you break the promise then your pinky finger shall be cut off.” She explained.

“ You want me to keep your secret by threatening to cut my finger. Not very good with negotiating on amicable terms are you Miss Francis.” I smirked.

I was waiting to elicit a  response from her. Conversing with her is different.Not only is she vibrant in her replies but she keeps me pondering on what new can she come up with. She is one of the few people I could never get bored talking to and trust me that is quite an accomplishment for her considering I am not much of a speaker.

“ There are no terms and conditions involved when helping out friends Zayn.” She said. Did she call me her friend ?. I like the sound of that.

“Alright cut the chase and spill the beans. Friend.” I said emphasizing on my last word. She chuckled. “Before leaving for London I had prior booked my seat online on a bus to Bradford which was due to leave at 5 :30 pm on 21st January.”

“So ? I asked. I glanced at my watch.It was 4 pm. The possibility of her missing the bus was nil.

“ There is a tiny booking error that occurred. Instead of booking for January I booked it for February .I did this while I was  Florida.Being hasty I failed to check my confirmation email until some time back .That is when I realized I made such a huge blunder.” She whined.

“Oh !!” was all I uttered from my mouth. It was a bit funny but c’mon to err is human. So she messed up the months. Happens all the time.  Maybe not but it is not a peculiar  problem devoid of having a  solution.

“Imbecility is your trait .” I mocked her . “Anyway it can be easily dealt with.Dont hassle yourself much”

“I am not imbecile.”She protested. “Can you tell me any suitable car service that could drive me safely to Bradford?. I don’t have reserved tickets for bus and I am petrified of trains. So DO NOT give me that option.”

“Actually I have a better proposition. Come with me. I could use some company on a four hour long drive. Would you consider my proposal ?” I asked her.

“Only if you let me play my kind of music and not coax me to listen to bubblegum pop bands like one direction.” She chuckled.

“ Hey that is not cool.I tried to sound offended .Text me your address and I will be there to pick you up in an hour.I hope you have packed your bags and have not left them pending till February.” Malik strikes one.

“ Ha ha ha she said sarcastically Trying to crack jokes are we ? Let me get my hands on you pretty boy and then see what I do to you.”

“ I know I am recently single now and laying hands on me is the dream of  millions  but geez girl you are Niall’s sister and we just met yesterday.Control your hormones.” She gasped at my innuendo. Malik strikes two.

“  Eww Zayn !!! I will never be amongst  those millions you know that. I  am texting you the address .Thank you so much for helping me.You have no idea how important going it is for me to go to Bradford.” She cooed.

“I thought we were friends so I don’t accept your thank you. I will see you in a while Allana. Be ready.” I grinned as I disconnected the call.

Weird isn’t it ? Sometimes you know people for years but barely share a  connection with them and sometimes you just meet a person and within a fraction of a second you form a bond of  a lifetime. I could feel it in my heart that Allana Francis would be that someone for me.

P.S. Allana is right she can never be amongst those million girls coz she truly is one in a billion. I should be highly grateful for a confidante and friend like her wat say ??
