Silence (Ziall Horlik) AU

Chapter 18

Zayn's POV

A long sigh left my mouth as I laid back on my bed in frustration with how Perrie was bearly even trying to do her online assignment. She would go off on a tangent about how I should make Niall the perfect date or how I need to eat random foods off his body. It's been two hours of this and so far she's only gotten three math assignments done.

"Perrie, you have to do these so you can take a test and pass it. You're retaking this class and you need to get a better score so you can go to college." I told her for the fourth time. She just rolled her eyes at me and looked back to my laptop before typing in an answer to a math problem I solved for her.

"Can't you just call Harry and tell him to do this for me? He's like sixteen and already graduated top of our class. I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping me out." Perrie asked me, which my answer was no for the tenth time of her asking. I got up off my bed and went to my window seat to see Niall was playing his guitar on his window seat. The song he was playing sounded great and I liked the way his face lit up as his fingers ran over the cords. He looked up at me and waved happily before signing to me that he loved me. I signed the same thing back smoothly, after allot of practice and accidental cussing.

Perrie seemed to be working harder on finishing, so I nodded for Niall to come over. He shook his head and showed me his guitar. I told him he could bring it if he came over, which had him standing up and leaving his room the next minute. I walked over to Perrie and fixed her blonde hair that was in a bun before looking at her math problem she was working out on a piece of paper.

Soon, Niall was walking into my room with his guitar and a smile on his face, but it fell when he saw Perrie. She waved to him and went back to work, but Niall seemed to remain tense as he looked at her. I walked over to him and kissed his lips before pulling him to my bed. He didn't smile at me when I smiled at him at all, so I looked at him like I was trying to understand what was making him like this.

"I thought we would be alone." Niall mumbled to me. I smiled at him and kissed his sweet lips before getting up and going to see if Perrie was almost done with this assignment. She was half way though it, but I knew if she kept focused on it then she would finish in about thirty minutes. I went back to Niall and got his guitar from where he laid it on my bed. He smiled lightly, even though I could see he still wasn't that happy it wasn't just us.

He guided my fingers over the cords and showed me a the beginning parts of some songs before he stopped and rested his head on my shoulder. One of his hands lifted up and pressed the nice bruse he had left in my neck yesterday when we were in London. It was a little tender, but he seemed to like the fact he put his mark on me so I just let him have his moment.

"If you two want to fuck, I won't watch." Perrie mumbled as she typed on my laptop. I reached behind me and grabbed a pillow from the top of my bed before throwing it at her. She laughed and turned to me with a bright smile, causing Niall to scoot incredibly closer to me. I set down his guitar before getting up and going over to Perrie.

"Are you done yet? I'm tired of seeing you already." I chuckled to her as I leaned over her shoulder to see she was one problem away from finishing so I just did it for her. She laughed to me that I was doing it wrong the whole time so I would elbow her as I typed the answer into the computer. The website told me the assessment, so I told Perrie to write down what she had done today so we knew what we had to work on next time.

"Well, I'm off then. See you guys later, and remember condoms are your friends." Perrie told me before kissing my cheek and waving to Niall. Niall stood up and walked to me after she had kissed my cheek and looked like he was about to jump on her, so I just wrapped my hand around his waist to keep him calm. Once Perrie left my room, Niall shrugged off my touch and walked over to sit on my window seat. I looked at him and was about to ask him what's wrong, but he cut me off.
