How It All Fell Into Place.. (Zerrie story)

Oh God..

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Now, I was NOT expecting THAT! I was a bit hesitant in my answer because this is the first time we've talked since the club, but I guess I'm doing everyone a favour, except all those 'Zayn girls' out there. I looked at Zayn. He had a look of hope and happiness in his eyes.

"I-I Zayn, I mean, I.." I sighed before continuing my sentence, a simple "Yes". I looked back up at Zayn and he was smiling from ear to ear. Jesus, I love his smile. Oh, god. I did not just say that? Please don't let me become a 'fangirl' of my own boyfriend. Hmm, Zayn's my boyfriend. I could get used to that! I was snapped out of my thoughts when an arm went around my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist. I inhaled his scent, and believe me, he smelt really good. Must be his cologne. We stayed like that for about 5 minutes before someone knocked on the door. I pulled away, a but reluctantly, and went to open the door.

I opened the door and saw Jade.

"Hey Jade." I said and I let her in.

"What's going on Pez?" she questioned straight away.

"What do you mean? What's going on? Everything's fine!" I said.

"Perrie, you're much happier than earlier at the meeting.." Jade trailed off, probably thinking that she's saying too much. I just laughed and pulled her into the lounge room where Zayn was currently waiting for me to return. He heard us enter and looked up at us.

I cleared my throat and said "Jade, you know who this is, yes?" I said, wanting to drag this out for as long as possible because I knew that she wouldn't rest until she got the truth out of me. Jade simply nodded and smiled.

"Of course I do!" she said, sitting down on the recliner.

I sat down next to Zayn and simply said "Yeah, he's my boyfriend". Now, that set Jade off. She literally squealed and started jumping up and down like a maniac.

"Oh my god! I knew this was going to happen! I even ranted about this to the other girls in the car! They thought I was delusional but I was right! See? Don't you see that I'm always right? You doubted me in X Factor! Now look where we are! Oh my god I'm going to sit down now.." She trailed off feeling a bit embarrassed and Zayn and I just stared at her, trying to hold our laughter in. Guess Zayn couldn't. He burst out laughing and that set me off too. Soon we were all laughing our heads off. We just couldn't help it! Jade was one to rant, I'm telling you that now.

After we survived our laughing spaz and calmed down, I sat up straight and drank some of my Diet Coke.

"Jade.. Can you pretty please not tell the girls?" I asked her. I think she looked a bit upset because she was also the one in the group who loved gossiping.

"Please Jade. I, we, want to tell everyone ourselves" I explained. Jade simply nodded.

"It's cool, I understand. I wont tell, it's your relationship! None of my business! I'm just going to go to my room.." she said as she ran up the stairs. Yes, we live together.. Most of the time. I looked at Zayn and he was just calmly sitting there waiting. I snuggled closer to him and laid my head down on his chest.

"What are you doing?" he asked. I laughed.

"Well, we have to act coupley now don't we?" I responded, smiling up at him.

"Oh, yeah, right.." he replied, stammering a bit. I just giggled. He leant down and kissed me on the cheek. I lightly blushed at his action and he chuckled.

"Awwww! Do I make you blush?" he teased, making me blush even more. I turned my head away from him.

"N-No" I said quickly. I felt a finger on my chin and my head was turned back to face Zayn.

"Dont, ever, hide your face ok? It makes me feel bad" he said, kissing my forehead. I giggled.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing.." I said, smiling.

"Perrie.." he said, "Tell mee!"

And with that, he started to tickle me. And I'm extremely ticklish. I let nobody tickle me, unless you're Zayn Malik or course.

"Z-Za-Zayn! Zayn st-stop! ple-please!" I shouted through laughing and trying to breath.

"If I stop, will you tell me what you were laughing at?" he questioned.

"Maybe" I answered. He stopped tickling me and we got off the floor, I had no idea how we got there, must've been during the tickling. I groaned.

"Now, what's so funny?" Zayn asked.

"You're not going to give this up are you?" I questioned.

"Nope" he said.

I sighed and said "I just think it's cute, how we're acting all cute and coupley and we've only known each other for what? A week? But it's nice you know? To have someone care for you. I didn't think I would get that" I said, finally answering his question. Zayn looked shocked. I looked into his eyes but I couldn't uncover anything. He was good at hiding his story behind his eyes. Too bad that's not the same case for me.

"Oh Perrie" he said simply, pulling me in for a hug. I loved these hugs already, and I've only gotten two.

"Hey Perr-woah! Um, ok! Sorry!" Jade said as she came running down the stairs, ruining the moment. I pulled away from Zayns embrace and turned towards her.

"It's nothing Jade, what were you saying?" I said.

"Oh, uh, management called. They, kind of knew that Zayn was here coz they saw him come in.. And, uh, they want to know what's going on because, you know, they're nosy bastards" she concluded her paragraph. I sighed and went to get my phone. I hesitantly pressed the contact 'John/Management'. I don't even remember adding them into my phone. Oh well.

"Perrie" Johns slightly annoying voice came through the speaker.

"Yes, John. Hi. I heard you wanted to speak to me?" I said as I walked back out into the lounge room.

"Yes, what happened between you and Zayn just now. The paps are every where and they caught loads of pictures of him going into your house" he said. I sighed.

"Yeah, uh, we're kind of going out.. Like you wanted" I replied, not wanting to hear what he had to say next.

"Great! Now, we're going to organise a meeting for you guys to meet up and then you'll act all coupley and kiss so the paps will get loads of pictures and Little Mix will gain publicity! It's perfect!" God, he sounded like a teenage girl getting One Direction or Justin Bieber tickets. See what I did there? Ok, I'll stop that..

"Uh, John?" I said into the phone.

"Yes, Perrie?" John replied.

"I, Zayn and I agreed that we wont kiss until we feel the time is right.." I hesitantly said while looking at Zayn from across the room. He was staring at me, waiting for me to sit next to him.

"Well, looks like tomorrow is the right time!" John said before hanging up. I groaned and put my phone away.
