Vague

Chapter 4

*Zayn POV*

So we were joined by Zoey, Lisa and Sarah for our dinner, who happened to be very nice and funny girls. I think Zoey and Sarah are fans, but it felt nice when they talked to us normally, without shouting on our faces or crying.

I was sitting next to Louis, and Lisa was sitting next to me. Zoey, Niall, Harry and Sarah were sitting across the table. Lisa was looking unsure about what to do, everyone was busy with someone else. I decided to strike up a conversation with her.

"So Lisa, what do you do here in London?"

"I'm in the second year at a college here. Zoey and me live in a flat together. I'm originally from Belfast, but I had to come here for further studies."

"You're Irish? I thought so, your accent kind of gave it away!" Niall piped up excitedly.

"Yes I am!" She grinned.

"I know how tough it must be to stay away from your family. Same for me, I'm constantly on the move for tours and stuff, so I miss being at home." I sighed.

"I can totally understand that, you had to leave your home at a younger age than me. I guess being away from family is the only part that sucks about your job."

As I opened my mouth to reply, her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller id, and a scared look clouded her face. She answered the call, "Hello?"

I couldn't hear the person on the other end, but she immediately hung up the call. She pressed some keys and kept the phone aside. As much as I wanted to ask her who was it, I didn't want to sound like a creep. It's her business.

Her phone vibrated constantly but she ignored it and started chatting with me. I couldn't help but notice, she probably had 10 missed calls by now. She finally held her phone, and excused herself. "I need to go to the car, I think I left my purse there." Before I could reply, she hurried away.

Nobody else seemed to notice the change in her behaviour except me. I didn't want to creep on her, but I decided to follow her anyway. She could be in trouble, for all I knew. I went after her, but kept a safe distance between us. I didn't want her to see me. She went just out of the door of the restaurant, and leaned against a pillar. She checked her phone, it looked as if she was reading a text from someone. She slid down the pillar and sat, leaning against it.

She closed her eyes. I think she was crying but I couldn't be sure because there was a distance between us. I wish I could go and comfort her. She sat there for about ten minutes, and I couldn't seem to remove my eyes from her. She wiped her tears and stood up. I hurried away to our table before she could see me. She joined the table almost five minutes after I did. I have a feeling that she used make up to cover any traces of her crying.

She was back to being normal in front of everyone. I can't believe how that girl can plaster a smile on her face and make it seem so real. I was intrigued, I wanted to know her further.

The food had already arrived and everyone was eating, Zoey was almost stuffing her mouth with everything she could find near herself. Wow, I guess Niall has a competitor now.

We were halfway through finishing our food when Paul turned up at our table. "Boys, we have to leave immediately. Your fans are faster than gps, they found out that you are here and might barge in any moment."

Niall stared half heartedly at his food and nodded.

"Sorry girls, we have to leave now I guess. Nice meeting you, it made our dinner much better!" Louis grinned at Sarah, Zoey and Lisa and hi-fived them. Harry and Niall said their goodbyes and walked off towards the door.

I stayed back for a moment till they were gone and walked over to Lisa, "Bye, it was really nice meeting you. I hope to see you around!" I hugged her and walked towards the door, not turning back to look at her surprised expression. We were rushed out the door, Paul and Andy following us closely.

Something about this girl intrigues me and makes me want to know her more, I wish I could...
