"Well, you obviously know where Starbucks is." I started with a laugh. Zayn and I had met up about an hour and a half ago, and I was his tour guide. "Hmm, maybe we should just grab something real quick." Zayn stared at me with expectant, hazel eyes and I sighed. He was just as convincing and persistent as Harry.

"Fine, but I still have so many other places to show you." Zayn pulled his car into an empty parking space. Unfortunately, I can't drive yet because I'm not able to get a license. Here, you have to be 17. Technically, Zayn's not allowed either since he's only 16, but he said he's all for breaking the rules. I wonder if I should be concerned about that...

The two of us skipped into Starbucks and shivered at the same time as we felt the cool air conditioning. "Wow, it's bloody freezing in here!" Zayn exclaimed beside me as we walked up to the counter. "Hello, what would you like?" A girl asked us.

She looked utterly bored, judging by her slouched stance over the other side of the counter. Her lips looked like they were permanently curved down into a slight frown. I would've thought she was a zombie if it wasn't for her bright, sky-blue eyes. She had simple black eyeliner above her eyelids, making the blue in her eyes stand out even more.

I glanced around quickly and saw that there were a lot of guys staring at her. She was really pretty, but she'd be even prettier if she smiled. I looked to Zayn to see his reaction, but his eyes were on me. It was as if he didn't even notice her, only me!

Zayn began telling her what he wanted, but he never looked at her directly. His hazel eyes gazed into mine, but I looked away. I felt a little bad for him. If he did like me, I wouldn't like him back. The only person who's always on my mind is Harry.

"And you?" The girl prompted me. "I'll just have a vanilla coffee," I answered before stealing a small glance in Zayn's direction. He wasn't staring anymore, but he seemed down. A few minutes later, our drinks were ready. Zayn took his and then we both reached for mine.

Our fingertips met and I pulled mine away at the sudden awkwardness. "Oh, er, I was going to hold yours for you." Zayn mumbled before taking my drink and then handing it to me. We were heading towards the door when I heard Zayn mutter, "You know what, fuck it." He spun around and walked straight up to the counter again.

His mouth moved in a sly manner as he talked to the girl with blue eyes. Eventually, a small smile appeared on her face! 'What is he doing?' I thought. I moved to the left a bit and fully saw Zayn's face with a wide grin spread across it.

He winked at the girl and a blush crept up her cheeks. His eyes flicked towards me and he smirked as if trying to make me jealous. 'Wow, I guess he doesn't know about Harry yet' I said inside of my head. His face leaned in closer to hers and he whispered something in her ear, causing her to pull a phone out and hand it to him.

He typed something in, probably his number, and waved to her before coming back to me and my raised eyebrows. "That was an interesting show you played off right there." I commented, suppressing a giggle. "You know it," He answered seeming a bit angry. "Um, okay...do you still want me to show you around?" He shook his head, surprising me. "Nah thanks though. I'll just drop you off at your house." His tone was a hurt and rejected one.

The ride to my house was weirdly silent. As I was getting out of Zayn's car, he grabbed my arm and pulled me back in. "What?!" I demanded a little too harshly. "Sorry," I quickly said before he began. "Why are you pushing me away?" He asked sadly. I breathed in and out before responding.

"Well, I only want to be friends with you. I, um, have a boyfriend." 'Sort of' I added in my head. Zayn's eyes widened as he stammered out, "I-I'm s-sorry." I smiled at him and removed his hand from where it was still hooked onto my arm. "Don't worry about it. I never actually told you." I gave him a speedy goodbye before I shut the car down and ran inside my house.

I locked the door as I normally did and turned around. I hummed as I made my way to my room and flipped the lights on when I entered. My phone made a thud sound as I lightly threw it onto my dresser. I almost screamed when someone cleared their throat behind me. I jumped and turned to see Harry sprawled across my bed. I would've laughed and went to sit beside him if it wasn't for the fact that I was frozen in total shock.

"Harry..." I finally said after what felt like hours. "Yes, babe?" He licked his lips as he checked me out.

"Is there a reason why you're lying on my bed...completely naked?"
