Irresistible

Chapter 12: Awkward

**Recap Zoe’s Pov**

I got out of Zayn’s chest and left some space between us. I didn’t dare looking into zayn’s eyes.

“Zoe?” Zayn asked whispering a little bit.

I started playing with my fingers in my lap, they suddenly became very interesting.

“Zoe, I think we should talk once we get to the hotel.” Zayn said and I couldn’t read the emotion he on his face nor could I hear it in his words.

Zoe’s Pov

Suddenly there was a noticeable silence in the car, Niall was looking up from his phone, harry and Louis had stopped talking and messing around and Liam gave us a confused and sort of apologizing look.

I don’t think it was zayn’s intention that everyone in the car would hear it. But they did. I don’t think they know what zayn wants to talk about with me, but I guess they knew that I was thinking the worst.

I shrunk back into my seat once zayn had said those words, closing my eyes and trying to calm myself down. What does he want to talk about?

He changed his mind about bringing me with him to England? Well I can’t say that I don’t understand that, I mean, he doesn’t know me very long and he already took me in. I guess I was expecting this.

I know zayn cares. I’m not going to say again that he doesn’t care about me, or things like; why would he care about me? I still don’t know that though, but I just tried to shove in into a small box in the back of my mind.

It’s just, I know that zayn just got off from tour. And I understand that he doesn’t want to be stuck with some random girl.

But still I felt so small when he said that he wanted to talk. There wasn’t any emotion on his face and it was just so suddenly. And by the fact that all the boys were a bit shocked, I guess that nobody expected it to be right now.

The silence just went on and I kept looking at my lap. I could feel the stares from the other boys going from me to zayn, and then back to me. I bet they were giving zayn ‘the look’ that was silently asking what this is all about.

After a while Harry awkwardly cleared his throat, and that seemed to break everyone out of there ‘staring trance’ and everyone went back to doing what he was doing, well they were trying though.

Louis and harry their conversation ended and they both started typing away on their phones. Niall went awkwardly back to playing a game on his IPad and Liam was just scrolling through pictures on his phone. Probably from their tour and such.

“zoe I didn’t m-“ zayn started to say, but was rudely cut off by Niall.

“I think you did enough for a moment.” He growled and he turned his head from zayn towards me and gave me a half smile.

“you didn’t even know what I was going to s-“ zayn started again, but got cut of this time by Harry.

“Zoe are you tired honey?” Harry asked sweetly, completely ignoring zayn.

I didn’t know what to say, they were all best friends and now they are turning against Zayn, because of me. This can’t be happening, I can’t let this happen. But what can I do about it?

“have some rest darling, we’ll wake you when we get there” Liam said friendly and he gently pulled me closer to him, farther from zayn and he laid me down onto his lap.

I admit I was a bit tired. But I was mostly scared, nervous.

I don’t think I want to wake up.
