Rock Me(A One Direction Love Story)

Chapter 37 Plans

You slowly surface out of your dream and you are finally aware of Zayn’s strong arms wrapped tightly around you. You try to get up but his grip on you tightens and he pulls you up against him and you feel his warm breath tickling the back of your neck. You turn over and face him. His angelic face is angled toward you with his mouth slightly ajar as he slowly sinks off again. You kiss his cheek. “Sorry babe,” you mutter pulling out of his arms. He groans and slowly opens his eyes. “Why ya always gotta ruin the most perfect things,” he grumbles pulling up the covers and turning over. “Morning to you too,” you say getting dressed. “I’ll be back, babe, I’m gonna get something to eat.” You roll your eyes as he gives you a thumbs up. You pull your hair up into a ponytail as you walk into the hallway. You check both ways and close the door softly behind you. You walk down the stairs until you get to the floor under you where you see Niall passed out. “Niall,” you run over to him. “NIALL? ANSWER ME!” You hear a groan and you flip him over on his back. You cup his chin. “Niall can you hear me?” “Stop shouting,” he says irritably. Just a hangover. Thank God. “Niall you scared me.” “Oh you actutally remembered there was someone else here besides Zayn for a few seconds,” he says rolling his eyes and looking away. “Look I know all this is all for publicity, but you really could’ve had me fooled,” he says sitting up. “Niall it’s—“ you don’t wanna start drama. “It’s complicated. I don’t want management to get ticked. I think we all know not to mess with them.” He nods and stands up before he leans over and vomits. “Niall, how much did you drink, last night.” “Enough to forget,” he says weakly. “Forget what?” “You,” he mutters pushing past you. You watch him walk away as you wipe your eyes not letting the tears fall. Screw him. You continue to walk downstairs and you walk into the breakfast nook. A group of girl fans stare at you from the other side of the window smiling. You motion over to one of the body guards to let them in and they all walk in slowly. “You guys can sit,” you say smiling. They start fangirling and they all try to fit at the table you’re sitting at. “So how are you guys.” They all start talking to you and you carry on conversation with them. “So what’s it like? Dating Zayn I mean,” one girl asks. You blush. “He’s an amazing guy. I’m so lucky I have him in my life,” you respond keeping your answer vague. “DO you know what’s wrong with Niall,” another girl asks. Your head snaps toward her. “What do you mean?” “He’s been tweeting all these sad things and I don’t know, he just seems off lately.” “Oh, I don’t know. He might be homesick.” “Or lovesick,” the girl responds. “Lovesick?” “Yeah, his tweets are about a girl. Definitely about a girl,” another girl says joining in the conversation.” “Well, I didn’t know there were any girls in his life at the moment. Who knows what’s up with little Nialler.” The girls ask for pictures and autographs with you until finally, the breakfast bar opens and the girls say their goodbyes. “Thank you,” they all say. “My pleasure, loves!” You order an omelet and some fruit. You sit down and massage your temples feeling a headache coming on. The omelet is set before you and you thank the chef, before starting to eat it. Not bad. If only you had some... Tea. That’s what’s set before you before you see Louis plop down across from you. “Morning, Lena,” he says groggily. “Morning Lou, how ya doing?” “Tired,” he sits back drinking his tea. “So how was last night with Eleanor. How’d you guys sleep?” “Oh there wasn’t much sleeping,” Louis says raising his eyebrows up and down, and you both start to laugh. “You’re naughty, Lou.” “Oh come on, like you and Zayn didn’t get it on!” “We didn’t, I wanted too, but Zayn refused,” you say annoyed. “Oh that’s what Liam said.” “Well Liam’s confused then. All Zayn and I did was watched a movie.” “Well then,” he says finishing his tea. “So what all do you guys have to do today.” “Well we asked Simon if we could move our next interview till tomorrow, but he said at least two of us have to go to an interview…” he says before looking at you mischievously. “Why are you looking at me like that,” you ask worried. “Well, Niall can’t go because he’s hungover. Li can’t go because he doesn’t want to leave Niall. I would go with El, but she really just wants to spend time with me. We haven’t seen each other in forever so—“ “So you what me and Zayn to go,” you say finishing for him. “Come on, it’ll be great. Management will worship you.” You sigh. “Sure fine whatever Lou, you owe me though.” “Thanks, love,” he says kissing your cheek and standing up. “Oh and Lena?” “Yeah?” “The interview starts in 45 minutes.” You cuss under your breath and rush to the stairwell. You reach your door and realize Zayn forgot to give you your room key. “Are you freaking kidding me? ZAYN!” You bang on the door until he finally opens up looking at you half asleep. “Zayn hurry we have to be at an interview.” “No way, I had stuffed planned for us.” “I know, it’s okay. We can do stuff later I promise.” He groans and you see him disappear into the bathroom. Shortly after, you hear the shower running. Thank God he’s cooperating. You get dressed in something more interview appropriate and you apply your makeup and do your hair. You wait until you hear the door open and you see Zayn all dressed and ready to go. He offers you a smile and his hand. “Ready, beautiful,” he asks. “I suppose,” you say following him downstairs and into the lobby. The car pulls up and Zayn opens the door to let you slide in first. The car pulls away and you slump into your seat trying not to let the nerves get to you. *45 minutes later* “Well, we’ve had a slight change of plans. One Direction couldn’t make it today…but we have the next best thing. We have Zayn Malik, and apparently his new girlfriend, Elena Bryant. Give them a warm welcome.” Zayn grabs your hand and you bite your lip walking under the bright lights. “Welcome, welcome, how are you guys.” “We’re great,” Zayn says giving his hypnotizing smile. You stare at him a little too long because the crowd starts Awing at you guys and you blush. “So what’s the story with you two?” “Well, Elena and I were best friends when we were younger. We did everything together, and then my family had to move, but I promised Elena I’d marry her eventually. I couldn’t believe when I bumped into her outside of Nandos one night. It was incredible. I mean you can’t imagine the feeling in your stomach when you see the girl you love standing there after not seeing her for so long. It’s amazing. I couldn’t help but help her out. She had accidently gotten lost, and I was staying with Harry, so I brought her back to the house, and the rest is history.” “Wow, so you’ve both always had chemistry?” “Oh absolutely, she’s the love of my life,” he says smiling. “And Elena, how weird is it to go from simple girl to Zayn’s girlfriend.” “It’s crazy. Going on tour with the boys is huge.” “Speaking of the boys, do you get along well with them?” “Definitely, they’re like my little brothers. Actually, Harry and I had known each other prior to this, so it was like a huge reunion!” “What about Zayn’s reputation as the heartbreaker. Doesn’t that scare you away?” “No, I love Zayn a lot, and I know the press over exaggerates quite a bit. I don’t believe Zayn’s as bad as everyone makes him out to be.” “And Zayn you’re opinion on how you think the relationship will go?” “Elena brings out the best in me, I’m never gonna take a chance on losing her.” “AWWWWWW!” You give Zayn a quick peck on the cheek and he grins at you. *Niall’s POV* This interview is making me sick. The others told me not to watch it, but of course I didn’t listen. This is sickening. I’m so sick of lying to all of the guys and Elena. It’s all management’s fault. They made me record that video saying that I didn’t care about her. They made me pretend that I’m over her. They threatened to tell my secret if I didn’t listen. So here I sit pretending that I don’t care that Zayn has his arm resting on the girl I love. I deserve her. I want her. Why can’t I ever get the girl? I’m losing it. I don’t know how much longer I can lie…
