Dared Love

Chapter 22

"Hi, I'm Bryan." "Hi,I'm Marissa." "Well Marissa, I didn't know you could move like that." "Thanks", I said blushing. "I'm gonna get a drink, want something?" "Umm water please", I said. Bryan walked away and I went to the booth where Niall and Angela decided to sit. "Hi Niall, not that I didn't want to see you, but what are you doing here?", I asked. "Well, we saw the note you left us and decided why not join you." "Oh okay, where's the rest of the boys?", I asked. " Well Louis and Liam had a double date with Dani and El over skype and stayed home, but the other two are over there he said pointing to Harry dancing with some brunette and then I looked on the other side to see Zayn and a girl pushed up against the walk making out hungrily. I felt jealous, maybe because I've never seen him do that. "Look Marissa, a cute guy is coming", Angela said hoping I would stop looking at what was happening. "Here you go", Bryan said handing me the glass of water. I chugged the glass quickly and pulled him towards the dance floor. If Zayn could so that, then so could I.

I couldn't do it. Bryan is a really cute guy but definitely not my type. He's into sports, his ideal date would be a football game, and he's like a jock.

We had to leave soon and he asked for my number. I hesitated but then gave him a number. I gave him the number of a dry cleaners place. I hugged him and waved goodbye. We took the car they came in, but since they were tipsy, Angela drove and I sat in the passengers seat. The boys were talking about how they wanted to be animals. Then all of a sudden Harry started purring and the boys followed. Angela and I tried not to laugh but failed. When we got to where the bus is we opened their doors. And helped them get up as we were walking towards the bus Harry hollered at Zayn, "that was a hot chick you were talking too." "I know man, Imma make her my girlfriend", he slurred. I felt a tear stream down my face but quickly wiped it. Liam and Louis greeted us and said that we should change and go to sleep, they would take care of the boys.

The next morning the boys woke up with a hangover. I walked into the kitchen seeing Harry bending over a trash can and Liam patting his back. He stepped back a wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Liam then escorted him to the bath room. Niall doing the same and Louis comforting him. *Groan* I heard a noise and feet shuffling across the floor. I looked back and saw Zayn stretching out his arms to keep his balance. " Marissa, can you help Zayn?", Louis asked giving Niall and Harry a glass of water. I was silent. "Angela left to a meeting with Lou", Liam said. I nodded my head and helped Zayn sit down on the couch. "What happened", Zayn asked while rubbing his eyes. "Well, last night you, Niall, and Harry got drunk at the club and that explains why you have a massive headache." "But I saw you there", he said. " Yea it was supposed to be Angela and I's day out, but y'all wanted to come so yea, that's how you saw me." "Who was that guy?your boyfriend?", Zayn spat. "No, he's a guy I met." "Here you go",Louis said handing Zayn a glass of water and a pill then went back to the room where the others were.He swallowed the pill and water. "I saw how you two were together, don't lie to me", he said angrily. "I'm not lying to you, your hangover is giving you false accusations", I said. "That guy looked like he wasn't your type, you were jealous and you tried to make me jealous", Zayn said lifting his voice. "I didn't even know you were there, how could I make you jealous? You know what Zayn don't worry about what I do, go talk to your girlfriend", I spat and stood up. He looked at me confused and knew what I was talking about. "That's what I thought", I said. He stared at me and stood up. Before he started talking I turned around and walked towards my room. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. "Let go", I calmly said. "Not until you listen", he said using the same tone. I sighed. "Look, I'm sorry for thinking of such a thing, it's just seeing you with him dancing, it teared me apart okay. I can't imagine you with any other guy, it makes me uncomfortable. I have to admit, seeing you two made me jealous. I took some shots and started talking to this girl and I'm guessing you saw what happened", he said. I nodded my head. "But I remember the girl, she was pretty and nice, I actually want to get to know her. Us kissing was meant for you to see, I just had to show you that if you moved on, then so could I", he said looking at the ground. All I could do was hug him. "Zayn that guy asked for my number", I said in the hug. He pulled away, "you gave it to him?", he asked. "Haha, no, the guy was a total jock, out of my league." We laughed and he pulled me back into the hug. *Ring Ring Ring* "Zayn you have call", Louis said breaking us from our hug. Zayn sighed, "who is it?" Louis looked at his caller ID and said,"Rachel." Zayn smiled and reached for his phone, "I have to take this", he said walking out the bus. "Can you help me with the rest of the lads?", Louis asked. "Of course", I said following him. Truth was, the only reason I knew Bryan's personality was because he was a distraction from Zayn. Zayn was right about me being jealous, but he was wrong about me moving on. I sighed, not because I was tired, but because I had a feeling I knew who he was talking to.

Zayn's pov: "Hey Rachel ", I said answering my phone.

" Hi Zayn, I just wanted to say I had a fun time with you last night."

"Haha, no problem babe, I had a fun time too. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out someday?"

I heard her gasp, "Really?" "Yea how does Saturday night sound?"

"Sounds good." "Well then it's a date, see you on Saturday. Bye babe." "Bye", she giggled. I ended the call and heard a slam. I turned around to see if someone was there. No one was there. I shrugged it off and went back inside to take a shower.

Marissa's pov: I was sent by Liam to go get more water. As I was filling the cups, I heard Zayn's voice and decided to listen. I slightly opened the door to peek outside. "Haha, no problem babe, I had a fun time too. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out someday?"..... "Yea how does Saturday night sound?"..... "Well then it's a date, see you on Saturday. Bye babe."..... I was closing the door slowly until a tap on my shoulder startled me which made me slam the door shut. I hope he didn't notice. I turned around to see Liam. "A bit nosy, I see." "I wasn't being nosy, I just wanted some fresh air." "Oh really, you peeping through a door is getting air?" I shook my head and mumbled, "no." "It's okay love, tell me anything that's bothering you." "Thanks Liam, I said grabbing the cups." "Lets go before he sees us." I nodded my head and he put his arm around my shoulder while listening to what I said.

All 3 boys fell asleep in their bunks, Zayn was taking a shower and Angela was still at her meeting. Liam and I talked about how I was feeling. He understood and comforted me. I hugged him and he hugged me back giving me a kiss on my forehead. He was about to leave but instead 3 boys fell due to him opening the door.

"Boys what are you doing?", Liam whispered shouted. " We just wanted to ummm check on you guys", Harry said. "So you listened to our conversation?", I said hurt. They nodded their heads as if they were ashamed. "How much did you hear?." "All of it, Louis said. I sighed and let them come through. I made them sit on my bed and I told them what I told Liam. Liam decided to listen again. "And so yea what you heard is true, please don't tell Zayn", I begged. "You're secret is safe with us", Niall said along with the rest of the boys nodding. "But I think you should tell him before he goes on the date with Rachel", Harry said. I shook my head and said, " I can't, he really likes her and plus he said that he moved on." "He only moved on because he thought you did too, but you haven't", Louis said. " You're right, I'll let him go on the date, maybe it won't work out", I cheerfully said. "I also have a secret", Niall said. We all looked at him wide eyed and said "What is it?"

"Ummm I think I like Angela", Niall shyly said. "Awww", we cooed. Niall started blushing. "Well lad, when are you gonna tell her?", Liam asked. "That's the thing, I don't know when."

"Hmmm, how about on Saturday? Zayn, you, and, Angela will be gone. I'll be stuck with these three", I said. "Yea about that, Louis and I have a Skype date with El and Dani", Liam said. Well then that leaves me with this curly haired boy", I said ruffling his hair. "Great Niall said." "The shower stopped running, I suggest we all go to the living room", Liam said. We soon left the room as if nothing happened.

*Saturday evening*

Marissa's pov: *Grunt* I walked over to the noise and found a frustrated Zayn with messy hair. "What's wrong?" "It's just I can't get my hair to how I wanted." "Let me help." I stood in front of him running my hands through his soft hair forming it into a quiff and adding gel. "Ta-da." He looked in the mirror and hugged me. "Who knew you could style hair?" "Lets just say I knew how to do yours", I winked. He chuckled and observed himself a few more times before leaving. Before he left we hugged him and said, "Good luck." While saying that I crossed my fingers hoping it wouldn't go well.

Angela finished taking a shower and that was my cue to go talk to her. " Angie, Lou just called Niall and said that she needed you for a meeting. She said to wear something dressy since it would be a special type of meeting. Oh and Niall offered to take you", I said. "Thank you for telling me", she said. I shooed her off to get dressed. I waited in the living room with the rest of the lads. "Wow Niall", I said looking at the boy who was wearing a tux. The boys howled and I laughed. "Are you ready?", I whispered. "Kinda", he nervously said. I went to check on Angela. "Almost finished?", I asked outside the door?" "Almost", she said. We hugged Niall and said "Good luck" this time actually meaning it. " Where's Niall?", Angela said behind us. We turned around and their stood my gorgeous best friend. "Oh... Um... He's waiting in the car", Harry stuttered. The boys were amazed by how she looked. We hugged her and she left going into the car with Niall. "I need to go on a date", Harry pouted. "Speaking of date, we have to go", Liam said heading to the computer with Louis. "Awww don't worry we'll find you one", I said. Harry smiled. "How about we go somewhere?", I asked. "I'd like that", he said.
