Zayn

"I'm so sorry zayn, for what happened last night," doniya apologized. I smiled to assure her that
everything's fine. Last night was a memory I wanted to burn off.

"What happened?" Safaa asked innocently. I smiled at her and shook my head.

"Nothing saf," I dipped my foot in the pool to check the temperature. Today, everyone decided to lounge by the
pool as the sun was warm and nice.

Doniya lied down on one of the beach chair while javadd's friends ogle her
body.

"Yo! Stop staring at my sister jerks!" Javadd walked out of the house with a set of bud light in hand.

"Zayn? What does 'jerks' mean?" I totally forgot that safaa was a kid and she's not used to hearing cuss
words.

"Oh, it means... Uh... Slippers! It means slippers," I helped her with her floaters and she walked down the pool to join me.

"So Javadd said stop staring at my slippers?" She asked innocently. Safaa is so naive.

"Er... Sure," I guided her in the deeper part of the pool and she floated like a mermaid.

"Why were they staring at his slippers?" Safaa asked again.

This kid never runs out of question like this morning, I answered all her question on how cereals are made. It
wasn't fun.

"Because they think my slippers are awesome saf!" Javadd shouted and his friends laughed. I wanna grab a beer but safaa is here and I can't drink in front of her, dammit!

Earlier this morning, harry called me and I was relieved that he's safe and peaceful because he snored on the
phone and I'm pretty okay with that as long as he called me and heard him breathing.

"Zayn? Can you do tricks?" I nodded at my little cousin and her eyes widen.

"Show me! Show me" She said
eagerly.

"Alright but don't try it okay?" I climbed off the pool and stood by the side. Safaa sat on the edge and watched me closely. I did a double back flipped and landed right in the
middle of the pool.

"Wow zayn! Do it again!" Safaa swam like a puppy towards me, paddling her tiny little arms. When she reached me, she clapped rapidly and water splashed across my face. "You're amazing! Do it again!" What can I
say? I like to impress and show off to her a lot.

"Psh! I can do that!" Jake, javadd's friend scoffed, I swam towards the stairs of the pool with safaa riding my back while Jake stretched out his arms. "Babe! Are you watching!" He called out and I thought he was talking to safaa when his focus was on my oldest cousin. Doniya. I should've figured that out.

Jake did a side flip and he landed straight under water. Wow. Don rolled her eyes and her attention locked
back to the magazine she was reading.

"Pretty good dude," I complimented him and Jake beamed at me.

"Thanks man," He patted my shoulder and walked out of the pool.

My arms were around safaa while she eat out her candies that was placed on the side. "Don't worry zayn, you're
better than him," She whispered and I chuckled.

"Thanks kid," I grabbed one sour gummy worms from the container and popped it in my mouth.

"That was mine!" Safaa pouted and I grinned at her. Like she's too cute! I swear!

"Here!" I pulled it out my mouth a dangled it in front of her face.

"Ewwwww!" She shrieked and ran around the pool frame. I ate back the candy and ran after her. Harry will love to meet her, soon.
