One Little Direction

Chapter Fifty- Six: Hard Hats Thirty

{Leigh- Anne's POV}

I drive down Perrie and Zayn's street with Jordan in the car with me and notice a whole heap of building trucks and fencing across the road from their home. Jordan parks the car and I notice Niall running into the property where the building is happening. What's he up to?

"Was that Niall?" Jordan asks, pointing at where Niall just was. I nod my head, also confused as we both get out of the car. "Wanna check out what he's up to?" Jordan asks. We shouldn't really snoop, but I am a little curious what Niall is doing around a construction site. 

"Yeah." I reply to Jordan as we go across the road and near the building site. I look in and immediately see Niall pulling on a high visability vest and a yellow hard hat. There's a foundation for a house and people building with blocks, along with people building a wooden house frame. What the fuck?

I then notice Liam carrying a plank of wood, also wearing a hard hat and wearing a tank top, pair of shorts and old Timberlands. What is going on here? Why are they building a house? 

"What?" Jordan looks confused and then I see Zayn squatted on top of a frame of wood, wearing a hard hat too, high visability vest, shorts and a pair of old Timberlands too. I watch the tanned boy swing down off the plank off wood, using a horiztonal plank as a bar to swing down off. As he lands I notice his shirtless attire- IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING WINTER! But damn he looks hot. 

"Leigh, stop staring." Jordan nudges me playfully and I laugh a little with my fiance. C'mon! Everyone knows Zayn is hot. I watch him pull on a hoodie and let out a small groan, making Jordan slap me playfully again. I crack up and hold onto the fencing, watching the boys continue to build.

"HEY LOVERBOY!" I call out to Zayn and see all three boys look our way. Niall waves and Liam and Zayn look like they've been sprung. Are they trying to hide this? 

I go onto the site where there are some other men building and Niall tosses Jordan and I both hard hats as we make our way over to them. 

"What are you doing?" Jordan asks looking at it. Liam and Niall both look at Zayn. I watch Perrie's husband shrug a little and look at me as if he's about to tell me. 

"You cannot tell anyone!" Zayn warns and Jordan and I make promise not to tell. "Look, Kayla was born and Gemma and Jonnie really are struggling to find a new house, they won't be able to look again until the New Year and so I had this idea to build them a house. This block has been free for ages so I bought it and now we're building this." Zayn explains. Awww! He's so cute! 

"Hopefully it will be complete by the twenty- seventh of December and then we will put the furniture and decor in the next two days and then give it to them on the thirtieth." Liam finishes and Jordan is smiling really happily. I want a Zayn! Actually, I have Jordan. Take that back. But Zayn is really sweet. 

"Are you going to get it done?" Jordan asks them and they all shrug. They're doing a good job, it's not got a load to go but it will require hard work, and with Christmas in three days, that's one day gone. But knowing these boys, they'll get it done. "I'll help." Jordan suggests and I watch Niall, Liam and Zayn's faces light up instantaneously. 

"Really?" Niall asks and Jordan nods. 

"I'll start right now." He smiles and I notice he is dressed in a perfectly fine way to build. "And I'll call Jordan Banjo, get him to help us too!" 

"Thank you so much!" Zayn smiles and I laugh before heading off. These boys are literally the sweetest lads you'll ever meet. I know for a fact Jonnie and Gemma will be delighted. 

"Oh! Leigh!" Niall calls out and I turn around. "Come and help us with the decor later. Only Zayn has a clue about good design." Niall says and we all laugh.
