Zayn's POV

"You know, you could have just called me and put Paul on the phone so he'd know it's you I was waiting for right?" I asked Scarlett after Paul had left.

I had never seen him so angry in all the time I've known him... it was scary.

It took me about fifteen minutes to convince him she wasn't a terrorist/murderer/kidnapper, then five more to calm him down and get the idea of her being an evil mastermind out of his brain. 

"I didn't think of that..." she said softly and I smiled.

"It's okay, it happened; just, don't do it again and now let's move on" I stated and she nodded embarrassed.

"I am sorry... I just wanted to see you and it got way out of hand" she apologized again.

"Scar, I said it's okay. Don't worry about it. Paul will forgive you... eventually" I said with a shrug and she sighed.

"I'm a mess" she said it softly, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to hear that so I pretended I didn't.

"So you're Scarlett's best friend, Sabina, right? I've heard a lot about you" I said with a charming smile, directed at the blue eyed friend. It was weird, they both had light brown hair and blue eyes but they look nothing alike.

"Yes and I've heard a lot about you, Zayn" she said with a grin. I looked at Scarlett and she shrugged while her cheeks burned a bright red; she was adorable.

"Have you now? I hope nothing bad or embarrassing..." I trailed off, realizing that this was Scar's best friend, which meant that she probably knows how we met. This time it was me who felt my face turn hot, embarrassed. 

I quickly led them to the small living room in the suite where the guys were.

"Liam, Louis, Harry and Niall... this are Scarlett and Sabina" I introduced them and each of them greeted them with a kiss on the cheek.

"I know, I know. Your life is complete now that you've met me. But please ladies, keep calm" Louis started messing around and naturally both girls started giggling. I rolled my eyes at all of them and sighed.

"Any of you single?" Harry asked them with a cheeky grin.

Again they both giggled and I snorted. This kid was way too good with the ladies.

I stepped closer to Scarlett and put my arm around her while I said, "This one's mine".

She looked at me, surprised at my claim and blushing in the process.

"Oh c'mon Zayn... fine, but babe if you ever want a real man, you know where to find me" Harry said, directing a wink at my girl.

"Keep on dreaming loverboy" I said and both girls laughed.

"So, you're single, and not claimed right?" Louis asked Sabina and she blushed a bright pink, directing her gaze at the ground as she shrugged.

"Good, then this one is ours" Harry said as he put his arm around her shoulder.

"What do you mean ours?" Sabina asked, confused.

"He means that himself, Louis and Niall are going to act like you are their girlfriend because they are weird jerks that can't get real girlfriends" I answered in a mocking tone.

Both Harry and Louis huffed before saying, "Come on babe, don't listen to him. He has no clue what he's talking about... " Harry started.

"I promise we'll have real fairy-tale love very soon" Louis added.

Niall just stood there, not really knowing what he was supposed to do. I patted his back and smiled at him.

"It's a good thing you're not as weird as them" I told him and he grinned.

"Not yet anyways..." he said softly and then chuckled.

"I heard that!" Louis yelled and we all laughed.

"Your friends are... something" Scarlett told me. This earned a laugh from me.

"I know... but I love them anyways" I stated.

"So do I" she replied, and I looked down at her, confused.

"I'm a One Direction fan remember?" she said, jokingly and I nodded. I had forgotten about that, especially since I've never seen her fangirling or anything.

"Right" I said before silence filled my ears.

I took her hand and led her to my room and closed the door behind us. I turned around.

"So... hi" I said smiling down at her. She smiled back.

"Hi" she responded. 

"It's really good to see you" I said softly, taking her face in my hands, ready to place a kiss on her lips. But as soon as I brushed her mouth with mine, Louis shouts, "Zayn! I hope you're not kissing the pretty girl right now, especially when we're on the room next to yours".

"Yeah Zayn, get your butt out here to the living room" Harry adds.

I roll my eyes at their interruption and take Scarlett's hand, guiding her to where everyone else is.

If these two idiots were going to act like this all the time, this was going to be a really long night...
