My Sister's Boyfriend (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Liam and Zayn Know What!?! (Ch 12)

I froze. Shit! Shit! Shit! Calm down Allie. It could be nothing. Act cool, act cool Allie. I took a deep breath and acted like I didn’t hear a thing he said. I subtly pushed him off and went to Niall.

            “Can we go see the jellyfish now?” I asked.

            “Sure” Niall replied.

            “Can we go before the others come?” I smiled, taking his hand.

            “Sure thing, beautiful.” He grinned, nodding.  We left the others clutching their stomachs, still laughing at my mishap.  We walked in a comfortable silence the whole time holding hands. Zayn’s words kept replaying over and over again in my head. How did he find out? It’s always the quiet ones you should watch out for. I should have known that with keen observation skills he would have figured it out, but he is a guy after all. So how the hell did this happen? I was careful. Apparently not careful enough. Shut up. Okay, it’s going to be fine as long as he doesn’t ask to talk to you then you’re fine. Nothing will happen and I can go back to secretly admiring Harry from a distance.  

            “Allie?” Niall said, jarring me from my thoughts.

            “Hmm, I’m sorry what did you say?”

            “Do you know where we’re going?”

            “No, I thought you did?”

            He sighed, looking around, “Well you lucked out cause it looks like we’re here.”

I smiled pulling him forward towards the tanks. I let go of his hand and got closer. I stood there looking at the different colors and sizes, getting lost in their wonder. I felt my troubles slip away.

            “Allie?”

            Damnit.

            “Yea?”

            “Are you okay?”

             “Yeah, why?"

             “You just seem kind of out of it?”

            “Its just something Zayn said. Its no big deal.”

            “You know, you can tell me anything?”

            I nodded, “Its nothing really. I’m probably over reacting.”

            He looked at me expectantly. I shook my head, refusing to tell him. That was a mistake. He pouted out his lip, pleading with his eyes. I sighed, “Fine. All Zayn said was, ‘you know you love us, some a lot more then others.’ It’s not really that big of a deal.”

            Niall stood there unsure of what to say. My eyes widened, “You didn’t?”

            “No, of course not! I’m just a little surprised is all.”

            “Oh”

             Then came the awkward the silence. We stood there looking at the jellyfish, not saying a word.

            “Allie, I-“

            “Niall! Allie! There you are.” Harry said, cutting Niall off. He ran up to us. “We’ve been looking everywhere for you guys. It’s time to go.”

            I nodded and went with Harry back to the main entrance, while Niall followed closely behind. We met up with the others and drove back to the hotel. The ride was silent and uneventful, just the way I like it. We pulled up around the back and filed out of the car. I kept a safe distance from Zayn just in case. I didn’t want to take any chances of that comment turning down a road I didn’t want to go down. We walked into the lobby heading towards the lift. They all filed in, but there wasn’t enough room for all of us.
