Chapter 24
"So what do you want to do today?" Zayn asked me as we drove off.
"Well, Jade's on a date, so the house is empty, let's go there."
"Jade's on a date? With whom?" He seemed uneasy when he heard that Jade was on a date.
"A guy called from Sam from a dance group Diversity. They met through Jesy and her boyfriend who's also from Diversity. He's pretty good looking, treats her right too. Is anything the matter?"
"No no no." Zayn mumbled, a little too quick. I sensed something was wrong along the line. Why did Zayn get so uptight over Jade dating Sam?
It couldn't be... That Zayn likes Jade? I laughed nervously to myself, no way. Zayn couldn't possibly like my bandmate. But what would then explain his uptightness?
I shrugged it off as he drove back to the house I shared with Jade. "So what are we going to do today?" I asked as I unlocked the door.
"I'm not sure, let's go YouTube and find videos to watch!"
"You sure about that? There's a high chance we'll come across hate videos." We've tried to stay off social network because we always received tons of hate.
"Yeah, I'll find the videos so you don't have to come across anything you don't want to."
"How bout you?"
"I've come across enough hate to be slightly immune to it."
"Slightly.." I emphasized.
He took my laptop and we sat on the couch. Let's watch this! It was a video titled "Perrie Edwards funny/cute moments"
"It's a little awkward for me to watch this aint it?"
"No it won't!"
Watching the video was a toture. It was so embarrassing watching yourself being so silly and goofing around. The clip where I burped during the intro video on the X factor made me cover my face.
Zayn laughed. "I remember laughing at it with the rest of the boys while watching this!"
"Gah! So you saw this before? It's so embarrassing I don't know why they played it!"
"Aww babe, you were cute. I watched every episode of the X factor with the boys. I mean it was cool, like a year ago we were contestants there."
"So... Since when did you like me?" I realized I never knew when Zayn started liking me and why.
"Since the first live shows." He admitted but he wasn't embarrassed to do so.
"Wow! No wonder the boys were all smirking behind you the first time you came to talk to me!" I blurted out.
"They were?! Gosh I must have looked like a fool!"
"You didn't! In fact I thought you came up to me because you guys had a little dare for you to talk to me. Louis had a slightly evil smile on his face."
He laughed, eyes wandering far. "He was the one whom I told that I liked you. Niall must have told him he liked you too, because there was one interview which I'm pretty sure you watched, that we were asked about Little Mix and Louis tapped Niall asking 'there's someone in Little Mix that you fancy right?' And Niall replied 'the blonde one'. I heard you were ecstatic when you heard Niall had a crush on you huh?"
This was awkward. "Well I mean it was cool and all that a member in One Direction fancied me, nothing else. What happened after that between you and Niall?"
"I tried to keep a straight face but apparently failed because I read many comments that I looked jealous." He paused and rolled his eyes. "Then after the interview I asked Niall did he like you. He said you were cute and Louis came over and told Niall I liked you too. So that's how the rest of the boys know. Louis apologized after that and said he didn't know what he was saying." He filled me in.
