No sooner did I start to pick up stuff from the floor, the doorbell rang. I slightly panicked. What would Zayn say about how messy this place is? Surely he wouldn't mind would he? I put the dirty clothes in the laundry hamper upstairs and went down to get the door. I opened it just before he was going to knock again.
"Bit eager, Malik?" I smirked.
"Well, yeah, of course." He replied, now I guess it was his time to smirk. I led him to the lounge room and told him to sit down.
"Do you want anything to drink?" I asked, being polite.
"Uh, yeah sure. Water will do." He answered.
"You're no fun" I said, walking to get the drinks. I returned with a glass of water and a Diet Coke. Not very fancy but better than water. Zayn looked at my choice of drink and started laughing.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"You think I'm no fun, Diet Coke's not much better." He said, still laughing.
"Well, it's better than water." I said back.
After a few minutes of silence Zayn spoke..
"Do you want to do this?" He questioned. I think I spent a bit too long thinking about it because he spoke again.
"Guess not?" he said. That snapped me out of my thinking.
"Wait, hold on. I'm sorry. I just think too much I guess." I hesitantly replied.
"So, do you or don't you?" he wondered. I just sighed.
"Well, it's bound to happen anyway right? It's like our fate or something. I dunno. I'm not good with all that philosophy shit." I said, smiling at him. He looked at me like I had three heads or something.
"What?" I asked him, confused. He just smiled and shook his head.
"You think I'm any better at that stuff?" he asked.
"Well, your twitter bio DOES say 'just close your eyes and enjoy the rollercoaster that is life' so, I just figured.." I said trailing off. Wow. I sound like such a creep! Oops! He looked at me as if I was crazy! I hung my head, half in shame and half in embarrassment. I heard him laugh and I looked up at him.
"What's so funny?" I asked. Zayn tried to control his laughter and after about 3 minutes he finally calmed down.
"Oh, god. Sorry. It's nothing, just that you remember my twitter bio, or even looked at my twitter." He said, calming down still. I shrugged.
"I do follow you.." I said, fading out at the end of the sentence.
"Perrie.." Zayn started. I looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to go on.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
