Flashback:

 "Niall James Horan is in love with me."

Avery’s P.O.V

I thought I was going crazy, but I wasn’t. I saw the note! The goddamn note, and that means I’m not imagining things. But why didn’t he tell me all his feelings for me? Was he scared that he’ll get rejected? Or he thought that I’m really into Zayn. Yeah, that must be the reason. Speaking of Zayn,

Where the hell is he anyway?

I checked my phone. No missed calls. He didn’t even left a message. Who am I to him? Does he thinks I’m just a girl he can get away with it? If he gets home, what will I tell him? Will it be like this:

“Zayn, where have you been, love?”

Nah. Sounds too sweet. Or maybe this one:

“The hell where you’ve been?!”

No, no, no. I sound like an evil monster. Maybe, this one is better:

“Hey, Zayn. Where have you been?”

Yeah, I think that’s a whole lot better. God, I sound like one of those pathetic girlfriends. But, I’m Zayn’s girlfriend, right? I mean, we’re pretending, but that still counts.

Right?

Or maybe not.

I was pulled away from my sea of thoughts when I heard a car honking. I peeped through my window and saw Louis’ car in the driveway. Yay! They’re home. I sprinted downstairs and opened the door for them. I stood there, agape. “Wha-what are those?” I asked pointing to the countless number of paper bags. “They’re for you.” Liam answered me. I was surprised, “All of those?” I asked again and they all nodded their heads. “I only asked for a couple. I didn’t tell you to buy the whole mall. “I joked. “Do you want us to return all of these?” Louis asked and he grabbed two bags. “Ah! No, no, no! I was just shocked because you bought lots of close.” I said and Louis dropped the paper bags. “So, how much do I owe you? I bet all of those cost a fortune.” I asked and they glanced at each other. “You owe us? When?” Liam asked me. “Yup. Since now, for those clothes you bought.” I answered him. “Ahh! But, we really bought these for you. So, you don’t owe us anything.” Harry said. “You’re giving me those for free?” I asked, my eyes brightening as I said the word ‘free’. “Yes!” they answered in chorus. I squealed in delight and hugged them. Thank you so much guys!” I said. “Go on, try some for us.” Liam said and gave me a push. I quickly grabbed all of them and head to my room.

There were different kinds of clothes: sweaters, hoodies, blouses, t-shirts, shorts, jeans, and there were even shoes! I checked the last one. It was a pink paper bag from Victoria’s Secret. Hmmmm… something tells me there’s something uncomfortable with what’s inside of that bag. I opened it carefully and was astonished to see a load of…

LINGERIES???!!!

Fudge and biscuits!!! Why did they buy this kind of clothing? I never asked for these!!!I checked the rest of the paper bag and it was full of them. There were different styles, colors and designs. My blood was boiling.  I rushed downstairs, bringing with me a piece of… of… argghh… lingerie. I saw them having a cup of tea. “Kindly explain to me why you bought this?” I asked them and held up the piece of clothing. “Oh, that. It was Harry’s idea.” Liam said and gave me a sheepish smile. I turned my attention to Harry, who was grinning like a Cheshire cat. “I admit that’s my idea. I personally chose all of the styles. Do you like it? Why don’t you try on some and model for me?” he said, wiggling his eyebrows. “Model your face!” I snapped at him.

I noticed that Niall was with them and he was smiling to himself. “Help me, Niall.” I pleaded. “I think Harry’s right. You should definitely try that on.” he said with a wink. Boys-they all have similar minds. “Sure, I’ll try some.” I said and batted my eyelashes. That made all of them smile, like a bunch of idiots. “When hell freezes!” I added. “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyways, do you have any idea where your annoying boyfriend went?” Harry asked me in a serious tone. “None.” I admitted. “He’s been gone for almost two days.” Liam added and Louis nodded in agreement. “Did he even tried to contact you?” Niall asked me and I shook my head. “Well, something is definitely wrong with him. You should try to find out.” Louis told me. “Okay. But, what should I do?” I asked them. “Simple, act like a detective.” Liam answered. “I don’t know how to act like a detective.” I told him. “Spy on him. At least that works in movies.” Liam added. “Spy on him? Isn’t that like invading his private space?” I asked. Liam sighed, “Well, you’re not really going to invade his privacy, you’re just going to watch his moves, that’s all.” he said.

Maybe, I should really spy on Zayn.

Of course! You don’t know what he’s up to lately.

But, I think this is wrong.

This is the best time to have your conscience get the best of you.

But-

No buts. Just do it. You can be like Nancy Drew, the famous girl detective.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Zayn’s P.O.V

“Perrie, I better go home.” I told her as I removed the pillow that’s separating us. “But, you promised to stay.” she said. “The guys are going to get suspicious if I still stay here.” I told her. "Just one more night, please?" she begged. I rollled my eyes at her. She knows how to persuade me very well. "Fine, but just one more night." I reminded her. She smiled, "Got it!". I smiled to myself and glanced at my phone. No text or missed calls. Guess they don't miss me after all.

...Oh, Zayn, if you only knew.
