Zaria
Zaria has found herself a job working as a hostess at a nearby restaurant. A restaurant that she and her siblings have been to when she was younger with their parents. She now knew that the restaurant was just a front, she figured that out when her Uncle Niall asked her if she wanted to be the hostess. no formal interview or anything. She also figured it out when there are certain clientele that come in for a reservation under Payne or Malik, depending on which gang they're originally from, and they were immediately ushered into an employee only hallway. Then you have just the usual families coming in to actually enjoy the restaurant itself, with no idea what's going on in the background.
Tonight alone she has had four different groups of five come in. Three were for a reservation under Payne and the one group was for under Malik. It made Zaria curious, but she knew she wasn't allowed in that hallway. She was specifically told by her Uncle to stay away from it.
She wasn't one for really listening, but she figured this was one thing she actually wanted to listen to. Especially when one of the times they had a few groups come to the restaurant and by the end of the night a handful of the men and women were missing.
It wasn't a regular thing for groups to come to the restaurant on false pretenses, Niall didn't want to raise any alarms with anyone, but when it did occur not everyone left the restaurant at the end of the night. and Zaria noticed it every single time.
She's also noticed that whenever Zia was in town with her boss boyfriend, she wouldn't be working. She'd specifically be told by Niall that she and Zia would have to stay away from the restaurant.
Zia has been in LA for about a week now with Ian. She's been going back and forth from staying in the hotel Ian got for them and staying with her siblings. Tonight was a night she had to stay with Zaria. Under strict orders not to leave the house. Zia knew it wouldn't be smart to disobey a direct order from her boyfriend. but she was feeling a little rebellious.
"So Zariaaaaaa," Zia drew out the 'a' knowing it annoyed her.
"What?"
"How do you feel about going out? Anywhere that's not this house or the hotel room."
"We were told not to leave. Well specifically you were told not to leave."
"And since when do either of us actually listen?"
Zia asked.
"True. Fine, we can go out." Zaria got up and walked to her bedroom, to get ready. Zia following behind her.
The two of them spent almost two hours getting ready to leave. When they were finally ready, Zia grabbed Ian's car keys and her purse before leaving. Zaria right behind her.
"Where are we going?" Zaria asked as the two walked up to Ian's car.
"Back in the house," a voice to their right said.
Both girls jumped and looked over in the direction they heard the voice at, seeing Zayd, Luke, and Ian standing next to the garage.
Zia looked over at Zaria before looking specifically at Ian, "I don't think so. We'll be back later though."
The two of them got into the car, Zia starting it and began driving before the three guys were even able to move from where they were standing.
While Zia was backing up down the driveway, she heard her phone vibrate next to her. She sat idled at the end of the driveway to check her phone. As she was reading the text from Ian, *you are going to regret this*, another one came in *do not be on your phone while driving* She looked up from her phone making sure to catch Ian's eye, by honking the horn, and blew him a kiss.
"Can you grab my phone and send Ian a text for me?" Zia asked as she drove off down the road.
"Sure, what do you want it to say?" Zaria responded as she grabbed Zia's phone from the cup holder.
"Just say 'I bet I will' with a eye rolling emoji." Zia glanced over as her sister began typing. "Thank you Zaria."
"You're welcome," Zaria responded as she put the phone back in the cup holder. "So where are we going? I feel like we didn't think this through."
"What do you mean?"
"Well we aren't of legal age to go out and drink. There is no club or bar that would really grant us access due to not being twenty-one. So what can we do?"
"Fuck, you're right. Why didn't you say something while we were getting ready?"
"I'm not the one that wanted to go out. I assumed you knew what we were going to be doing," Zaria fired back.
"I'm not in LA enough to know what we can and can't do. So don't come at me with attitude."
While the two were bickering back and forth, Zia glanced at her rear view mirror and noticed a car that was weaving in and out of the lanes until it was right behind her. Zia moved over, thinking the vehicle wanted to get ahead of her. But it followed her into the next lane over.
Zaria noticed how her sister got silent and opened her mouth to speak when Zia cut her off.
"I think we are being followed call Ian and Niall," Zia said as she made a right turn.
Zia made three more right turns, basically going in a circle, and the car was still behind them.
"How am I supposed to call both of them?!?" Zaria panicked, not realizing she had two phones she could use.
Zia rolled her eyes as she grabbed her own phone and went into her contacts looking for Ian's contact. Once she found it she clicked on it and put it on speaker so she could still pay attention to the road. While Zaria did the same thing with her phone, but calling Uncle Niall.
"We are being followed," Zia said once both men answered their phones.

Haii there!!!
So I'm losing inspiration here, so we get this. Problems within a book usually gives me the inspiration I need, so it arrived earlier than I wanted it to.
I hope you guys like it.
Speaking on inspiration, I want to write a story that is entirely just Ian and Zia's relationship. I feel like this book here is just going to touch base on their relationship and the fact they are together. But I want to actually write about their relationship and how they get through the hard parts and all that mushy stuff. And since I've slightly mentioned it already in this chapter, the dynamic that they have I want to delve into it all more. But I don't want to overwhelm this book with it.
So, would we like to read something like that? And if so I need help with Title ideas, because I currently have none.
What did we like?
What did we dislike?
What do we wanna see happen?
