Canvas - Z.M

Chapter 46

"What are you guys doing here anyway?" Zayn scowls and I raise an eyebrow at him.

The one time. The one time I was so close, louis of all people had to walk in.

God damm it!

"I'm taking you out. Duh? And Els here for Lorena." Louis smiles as Eleanor takes a seat on the bar stool giving me that look of reassurance.

Oh. She thinks he's going to try something tonight.

God I hope not.

Zayn wraps his arm around my waist and leaves a kiss against my cheek. Its like e noticed it too.

"Well, I suggest you go get changed man. We've got beverages to drink." louis smiles as Zayn sighs.

"Okay. I'll go get changed." Zayn mumbles before heading upstairs with an awkward hard on.

I fold my arms and look at Louis. "Go upstairs with him before he pulls a muscle busting a nut." Eleanor says and I chuckle.

"Ew. Fine. I'll go." Louis sobs before running up the staircase.

I lean over the counter and Eleanor's gaze looks towards the staircase then back at me.

"Are you seriously going to let him out?"

I nod. "It's his birthday."

"Birthday or not, he could still hit you."

I bite my lip and shrug. "I trust him."

Eleanor's expression softens and she nods as if she gets the point. She sighs and drums her fingers along the bench and I frown at her strange behaviour.

"You okay?" I question as I grab the mince from the cooling stones and place them on the chopping board so I can dish it out.

She nods before biting her lip.

"Are you hungry?"

She shrugs and I frown at her.

"What's wrong?" I narrow my gaze at this strange person in front of me. "You look like Eleanor, but you're not acting like her."

Eleanor half smiles and looks back at the staircase before looking down at her drumming fingers again.

"Louis and I got in a fight. Sorry, I just can't shake it off yet." Eleanor says quietly.

"Oh." I blink at her. "What, why?"

She waves it away and I understand completely.

"I'm always here if you need to talk. I owe you." I smile reassuring her.

"Thank you Rena." Eleanor half smiles before we hear Louis walking down.

I swear you can always hear him before you see him.

Eleanor's posture tense up and she sighs quietly.

"Louis, are you hungry?" I call out.

"Starving!" He shouts back.

"Come to the kitchen then!"

Both Zayn and Louis finally walks in and My eyes selfishly drink Zayn in as he approaches me.

Ugh. He's wearing Calvin Klein. I lean up to kiss him, only to get a smell of that addicting smell and he chuckles before running his hand through his hair throwing it to his side.

"fucking hair." He mumbles annoyed.

I look down at his typical ripped skinny jeans that always wears and his red plaid shirt.
