I Hate This Part(Zayn Malik)

Chapter 7: Monica

Chapter 7: Monica

Was he toying with me all along?

It has been a few days since my first kiss and I’ve barely heard any words from the man who did it. How could he just kiss me and then barely talk to me? What has the world of men come to? I’m sick and tired of finding men who just want me for my curves and nothing else.

Maybe he is an animal.

Damn. Why did I have to be a fan of his band beforehand? It’s just making me fall so much faster for him, something that I don’t want. The fact that I miss him as much as I do scares me.  I can’t handle the thought of him being with somebody else. I want him to be here with me, inseparable like Kaleb and Alex have been. I know that I shouldn’t be judging and wishing something like that this early into whatever kind of relationship that Zayn and I have developed, but I can’t help it.

“What are we going to watch now?” Alex asks me, dragging me out of my thoughts. She’s snuggling into Kaleb, the wielder of PS3 controller for the Netflix. I sigh, thinking of something to watch. It’s a tough struggle honestly. We could watch Scrubs, a low class Horror Film, Family Guy, Orange is the new black, anything really. I think that they all knew what I would say though. It has to of been expected.

“Let’s watch Hyde’s Birthday guys!” I shout at them and laugh at their protests. It is my favorite episode from any season of That 70’s Show. We found it the other day watching that show and I just fell in love. I don’t think anybody has ever seen me fall apart like that in laughter. It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen and it never gets old, probably the reason that we watch it three times a day.

“Not this again,” Alex argues. Shouldn’t I be able to watch what I want to? They’re not even paying attention. They’re talking to each other all secretive and cuddling. Heck I even think that they’re making out most the time. They don’t care. Of course though, they ignore me and put on Scrubs. I don’t argue back because it’s still a good show, but never as good as Hyde’s Birthday.

From: Zayn

Hey babe. Want 2 go out tmrw?

I have to admit that I’m a bit surprised when he texts me. It’s the first text I’ve received from him today and it’s nearly seven. That fact doesn’t stop the heat from rising to my cheeks though. Now I feel bad for calling him an animal. At least he’s trying.

To: Zayn

Yeah. When and where? J

I smile at my reply, just thinking that I’m going to be spending time with Zayn tomorrow. It’s been so long. I wonder what we’ll do. How can he top our last outing together? That’s going to be hard.

I take a look towards the couple on the other couch. They are too immersed in each other that they wouldn’t notice the outside world. I take this opportunity and grab the controller off of the coffee table. I quickly exit the show and put on my favorite episode, Hyde’s Birthday. Success.

“Why’d you change the show?” Alex whines. Okay, maybe they weren’t as engulfed in each other as I thought. Dang.

“The hell Monica!” Kaleb shouts at me. I never know if he’s being serious or not and he gets angry because I always argue back seriously.

“You guys weren’t even paying attention,” I defend my actions.

“Obviously I was if I caught you changing the show,” she tells me. Okay, that is a good point, but she shall not win. They won’t even continue to watch it.
