*Ashley's POV*
*A year later*
"Hello, Ellie?" I called my younger sister, Ellie Brooks.
"Hi Ash." She replied, "Baby keep shut. It's Ashley!" I heard her whisper.
"Mom's home?" I questioned her.
"No! She is mom not home." She replied laughing at her dumb joke.
"You could've told me you are with Harry." I replied and rolled my eyes.
She gasped loudly. "W-what do you mean? I'm-"
"Hi Harry!" I interrupted her.
"Hi Ash." He replied slowly. "You two have fun I'll go. bye!" I said and disconnected the call.
"Ellie and Harry huh?" Zayn asked me chuckling. "Great match." I replied. "Like us!" He said and pulled me in a light kiss.
We were parted by my phone ringing.
"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me..." I was kinda embarrassed because it was Zayn's solo in little things that I had set as my ringtone.
"Cute!" He said and held my hand, "And true!" He continued as he looked at our hands, smiling.
I received the phone without looking at the name. "Hi love! Let's continue from where we left yesterday."
Holy shit! James.
*Zayn's POV*
"H-hi James. I'm with Zayn" She grew pale and stammered. I felt her palms sweating. She put emphasis on my name.
"Oh heaven! Sorry sweetheart. I hope he didn't hear us. Bye! I love you." He said 'cutely'.
"Yea bye. You too." She replied, staring at me with fear in her eyes.
"Who was it Ashley?" I asked her in a calm tone.
"No one." She said slowly and looked away. It was evident that she was lying and another boy was lingering in the corridors of her brain.
*Ashley's POV*
Zayn wasn't convinced and I could see that.
His phone started ringing. "Hi Paul!" He said. I heard no one speak on the other side.
"Fuck! Okay I'll be there. Bye!" He replied.
"Ashley, Paul called. We've got rehearsals. I should drop you home." He said, still looking at the road.
Zayn had a habit of rubbing his thumb with his forefinger if he was lying.
He was doing that.
*Zayn's POV*
I lied. I was too irritated by the thought of another boy in her life to think logically.
"Okay. Bye! I love you." Ashley smiled at me.
"Hmm." I replied, of course, lying and loving do not sit together.
"You know you are and will always be my bae." She said and hugged me. I was boiling with anger so I pushed her away.
She stared at me with a horrified expression. "Baby all okay?" She asked softly. "Ashley leave. I have to go." I snapped.
"What's wrong? You used to cancel plans for us." She exclaimed in annoyance.
"I have a life out of us Ashley." I replied in the same tone.
"Offensive!" She yelled.
"I don't care!" I yelled back.
