You're a Mystery // zm

Chapter 22

Piper's POV

Tonight Zayn was bringing me along with him and the boys to a dinner party. Simon Cowell's birthday dinner. The only thought that runs through my mind is "why am I going?". Simon has made it very clear that he doesn't want me to even really be around the boys anymore, let alone Zayn, so i'm pretty positive he didn't want me coming.

Although Zayn had reassured me a thousand times that Simon wanted me there, I couldn't seem to get it out of my mind that I wasn't wanted.

So basically it was this massive event at his mansion and if you were a somebody you were coming, unless you were a "plus one", in that case you were a nobody.

In that case I was a nobody.

The problem about this all was that I was going to be displayed as Harry's ex and Zayn's girlfriend. There was no doubt going to be paparazzi trying to lurk about outside of the mansion and tomorrow rumors would fly. A magazine would put an entire section on the fact that the boys were there in their magazine and I would be apart of it. Someone would make up some interview saying that I was either polite or a bitch.

Another problem was the dinner party is tonight and I don't have a dress.

Louis' and Liam's girlfriends, Eleanor and Danielle, were also coming tonight so I was going to go out shopping with them although I had no idea what to buy considering tonight would be the one night where I had to look the best.

I got my things together, stuffing them in my purse as Zayn walked in the room leaning on the door way only in his boxers. Zayn and I have been either spending the night at his place or mine, practically spending every night together since we started dating a month ago. I wouldn't say things are completely serious but i'd say that I've fallen for him harder then I ever thought I would.

He smirked and nodded at me as he walked in my direction. I smiled admiring his bare olive skin toned, tight chest and the tattoos that painted across it. Once he reached me he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him starring down at me biting on his lip making my head go light headed; every time he did that it made me melt. I put my hands on his chest and outlined his perfect collar bone.

"The girls should be here soon." He whispered leaning his forehead on mine making my eyes involuntary close as cologne rushed up my nose. I nodded against him and he inhaled as he slipped his hands into my back pocket as we stayed quiet. We did this a lot; just held onto eachother and listened to eachother's breaths.

"You'll need this." He said pulling back slightly, bringing his hand out of my pocket and into his, pulling out the shiny gold card and holding it infront of me to take. I starred at the card then up at him, giving him a puzzled look.

"See I don't know if you knew this but this is a debit card." He said sarcastically making me slap his arm causing him to laugh and slip the card in my pocket, slapping my butt gently causing me to shake my head.

"Zayn." I sighed protesting and pulling the card out of my pocket. He looked at me sternly and grabbed a hold of my wrist, guiding the card back in my pocket.

"You never let me treat you to anything special. Let me buy my beautiful girlfriend the most beautiful, expensive dress she can find so her boyfriend and drool over her all night long." he said making me smile and cave in.

"Just this time." I said making him smile very pleased with himself. He brought his lips to mine and they lingered, warming me up even when I didn't feel cold. The door bell rang and he pulled away smirking at me and kissed my nose.

"I'll see you tonight." He said making my nerves heighten even more. He had to go meet up with the boys before because they had a quick meeting, meaning that Danielle, Eleanor and I were left to go to the party us three and meet them there. Danielle and Eleanor had done this a million times and they were used to it, but me, this was my first time.
