Reality [zayn a.u.]

17.

I packed up the last of my things in boxes. Zayn loaded all of it in my dad's Escalade that I borrowed. He has been kissing my ass ever since the show and I can honestly say that it had run its course and I was now tired of it.

Mallory was still in the dorm room packing her suitcase because she was going to Malibu to spend time with her family. I embraced her in a tight hug that she returned.

"Promise that you won't forget about me when you are famous." I said into our hug. ll

She chuckled.

"You were a good roommate, Bristol." She smiled. "I hope the new girl can actually keep up with me."

I laughed as I let her go.

"Text me. Maybe we can do something while you are Malibu." I suggested.

"Of course!"

I hugged her one more time before I grabbed my purse and phone and walked out with Zayn trailing behind me. Once we got the Escalade, I jumped into the driver's seat and impatiently waited for Zayn to get in.

"Where are we staying?" Zayn questioned.

I smiled widely, "My condo! It is finally finished."

Zayn smiled widely and intertwined our fingers. But he soon glared at me because of my speeding and I slowed down the proper speed.

Well into the drive, I got a call from the dealership that I got Zayn's car from. I swallowed hard before I grabbed my phone and answered.

"Bristol Tomlinson." I answered.

"Ms. Tomlinson, this is Rick from the Porsche dealership. I wanted to inform that your car is ready early." Rick explained.

"Oh, okay, great. Am I able to pick it up at the same date and time?" I asked.

I hope so.

"Yes, Ma'am. The same date and time is perfectly fine." He said happily.

I sighed in relief.

"Okay, that's great. Is it okay if I come by today and check to see if everything is correct?" I asked.

It was the twenty-second so I hoped that it was the way that I wanted.

"Yes, Ma'am, you are more than welcome to come by and see if everything is up to par." Rick replied.

"Okay, great, thanks Rick. I'll see you soon."

I then hung up and Zayn looked at my curiously. I avoided eye contact with him because I knew that I couldn't keep a secret especially considering that it was his present that I'm so excited to give him.

"What was that about?" Zayn asked.

"Just this modeling thing." I shrugged.

"Hm, what type of modeling thing, baby?" Zayn questioned.

Why is he questioning me?

"Just this thing." I shrugged. "Not a big deal."

I'm not an actress. I can't just pretend that nothing was going on.

"What company?" Zayn continued to press.

I cleared my throat, "Balmain."

"When?"

"After New Year's."

Which was true. I did have a Balmain shoot after New Year's.

"Um, okay."
