chapter 19: part 1
Niall was the one who opened the door. He sighed in relief.
“Finally, we’ve been waiting so long.” I could hear someone playing the guitar in the back.
“Is that Zayn playing?” I asked, stepping into his house. Niall nodded. “Wow, he’s good for the first lesson…”
“This isn’t his first lesson Eliza, he’s been playing for well over a year now.” I gaped at him. “Yeh, he owns a guitar and everything.”
“He owns a guitar? And he never showed me?” I said, handing Niall the paper bag and stomping into the house. I saw Zayn sitting in the lounge, holding an acoustic guitar and looking at me as if I was off my trolley.
“All right?” He asked, scrunching his nose.
“Why did you never show me your guitar?”
“Was I supposed to?”
“Blimey Zayn, yeah! Can you play something for me?” Niall walked into the lounge, already chewing on his donut.
“Course he can! Did you know Zayn sings really well?” He said, smiling. “Go on, sing for her, won’t you?”
“What? No.” Zayn said, putting his guitar beside him on the couch.
“Well, why not?” I asked him.
“I’m not that great.”
“Nah, you’re really good mate –”
“Put a sock in it, Niall!”
“No, he’s right Zayn. Come on.” I begged him, giving him my best puppy dog face.
“No.”
“Fine, if you don’t play I’m not going with you tonight.” I said, smirking.
“Okay.” Zayn said, shrugging his shoulders, giving me a half smile. “Fine with me. I’ll go and have the time of my life by myself.”
“Come on, don’t be such a prat!” I took a hold of his arm and shook it.
“Okay, okay. Fine.” He sighed. “What do you want me to sing?”
“Anything.” I said eagerly, grabbing a nearby stool and sitting directly in front of Zayn.
He groaned and closed his eyes; he appeared to be thinking. I looked at Niall who proceeded to eat my bagel with no shame. Bless him.
“Anytime now…” I egged him on. Zayn began strumming on the guitar and was about to start singing until NIALL interrupted.
“Oh fuc – crap! Is that the time?”
I nodded my head, frustrated that he had stopped Zayn from singing. “It’s alright, you can swear. I won’t bite you.” I said tentatively. Niall laughed nervously. “And yes, that is the time.”
“I gotta go. Zayn, I’ll see you next Friday, yeah?” Zayn nodded. Niall grabbed his guitar case and did this mini-salute thing to me and headed out the door. I sighed and looked at Zayn who was avoiding my eyes. “I’ll get the door.” I said quietly.
