By the time the lads are home, its seven o'clock. Out of the goodness of my heart, I had decided to make them dinner. Yeah right, as if. I just thought that dinner is the least I can do to say thank you for them taking me in.

"Mm mm mm!" Harry says, sniffing the air as he enters the kitchen "something smells good!"

"Dinner!" I announce proudly

"Hey Zayn?" Louis says, coming in "can I marry Mira?"

"Certainly not!" Zayn says "any girl who can cook is on eternal dibs by me!"

"Ooooooo!" Niall says, joining the group "Zayn played the Eternal Dibs card!"

"What's the Eternal Dibs card?" I ask, as Liam walks in

"The Eternal Dibs card is something you can say that gives you first dibs on something for the rest of eternity" Niall explains

"So what you're saying is Zayn just Eternally Dibsed me?" I glare at him, but he grins

"Now you're mine forever!" He says dramatically, and I groan

"Somebody save me!" We all laugh "okay you lads! Dinner's in five, so get cleaned up or whatever!" The boys rush out of the kitchen while I serve.

"Zayn if you've got eternal dibs on Mira you kinda have to marry her" Harry says as we eat. I nearly spit out my food

"Excuse me?" I splutter

"Well," Harry smiles "if none of us can marry you, then Zayn has to because he eternally dibsed you"

"Alright!" I say "how about I un dibs myself? Then none of you can have me!" I can't believe we're even discussing this. It's so immature! Eternal Dibs? Please!

"Aw admit it Mira!" Zayn whines "you love me!" I flip him off

"Keep dreaming lover boy," I say "I, Miranna Winchester, officially Un Dibs myself! Hah!" The lads groan

"Killed it Mira" Harry says "killed it bad!" I huff

"From now on nobody is allowed to Eternally Dibs me, okay?" The boys nod unhappily "good. Now eat up, or no dessert" this shuts them up for a bit.

At ten o'clock, I announce I'm going to bed. Zayn stands as well

"I'll hit the sack too" he says, and we head to our room.

"NO UNPROTECTED SEX MY CHILDREN!" Louis yells. I gag

"God can they get any more immature?" I joke "I mean, no offence Zayn, you're hot and all but-"

"Maybe they're jealous" Zayn says, waggling his eyebrows "I mean, if you weren't my best friend, I would totally shag you!" I sputter

"Uh-"

"That's a good thing Mira!" Zayn laughs, punching my arm "it means you're hot!"

"Oh!" I gasp "sorry! I totally thought you-"

"Yeah, as you said, no offence, you're hot and all but-"

"Yeah. Good." We fall into silence.

"Zayn! Go to sleep!" I groan, rolling over to face him. The con of sharing a bed with him is that he stays up late reading. Which means he doesn't turn his lamp off until two o'clock.

"Let me finish this chapter!" He insists, holding up a finger and turning the page

"Zayn!" I reach out and poke his side. Zayn is extremely ticklish. He squirms

"Don't!" He says. I poke him again "don't start something you can't finish!" He warns. Unable to resist, I tickle him again. With a growl, Zayn leaps onto me, fingers digging into my sides, tickling the life out of me

"Zayn!" I gasp "can't...breathe...stop!" Zayn just grins a devilish grin and keeps tickling

"I told you not to start something!" He says "now say 'Zayn is a sexy beast and I would be completely at loss without him'" I try to squirm away

"Never!" I giggle "I won't give in!" Zayn keeps tickling

"Say it!" I shake my head "say it or I'll keep tickling you!"

"Okay okay!" I shriek "Zayn is a sexy beast and I would be completely at loss without him! Now stop!" Zayn collapses on top of me, breathing hard

"See?" He says "I always knew you loved me deep down!" I Shove him

"Keep dreaming Malik," I say "now go. To. Sleep!" Zayn goes to move, but for a second our eyes lock, and he pauses.

You know those scenes in the movies where the guy stares into the girl's eyes, then slowly moves in and they end up having an awesome first kiss?

Yeah, that didn't happen. Just as Zayn moves his head closer, just as our lips are about to touch, I turn my head away. Zayn's lips connect with my cheek, and he opens his eyes in surprise. I cough awkwardly

"Oh!" Zayn says, scrambling off me and onto his side of the bed "I...I'm...I-"

"It's okay Zayn," I say, my voice high and nervous "just forget it." Zayn switches off the light, and I scoot as far over on the bed as I can without falling out.

What just happened? Zayn was about to kiss me. I wanted him to kiss me. But I didn't let him kiss me. I turned my head away. Why?

(Ooooooo! Why didn't she want Zayn to kiss her? I know you've all probably guessed what's going to happen by now. I mean, this story IS pretty cliché sooooo.....

I'm thinking of changing my Wattpad name. I don't really like lolzies_1021 anymore. Any ideas?

I do have some requirement though

1) no underscores

2) it can't be extremely uber-mega long

3) it has to sound good (duh!)

So yeah, would appreciate it if you guys could help, but don't be offended if I don't use your names. Who knows? I might think of some sick ass name at the last minute!

Anyways! Love you all
