"Well anyways... We're going to leave you and Zayn alone. Come on guys," Niall said as he motioned to everyone else to leave the room. Alone time? Are they trying to torture me?

As the boys plus Olivia left to go into one of the bedrooms, Zayn just smirked at me.

"I can't do this," he said as he started for the door.

"No, you need to work with me. We need - I need to do this, for my uncle," I spoke as I slammed the door shut, keeping Zayn inside.

"Fine," he said as he flew his arms into the air.

"So, do you think we need to get to know each other better? I mean, why not?" I asked.

"Sure, what do you want to know?" Zayn wondered, with absolutely no care in his voice.

"How old are you? I'm 19," I told him.

He just rolled his eyes and answered, "20."

"Look, I really don't want to do this any more than you," I added, trying to be as cooperative as possible.

"I get that, I really do! But we don't have to be friends, alright?" Zayn said to me.

"Guys, you can come back in," I yelled to have everyone come back in.

"How'd things go?" Liam asked us.

"Fine," Zayn answered immediately. I just nodded.

I noticed Olivia standing next to Niall with a grin on her face while biting her lip. I wonder what went on back there, they weren't back there long...

"So anyways, who want wants to play truth or dare?" Harry asked, going from awkward to enthusiastic.

I heard a chorus of 'me's' as I looked to Zayn and he put his head down.

"I guess that means yes!" Olivia said. We all sat in a circle, but Zayn didn't move from the couch.

"Get down here, mate. Don't be a party-pooper!" Louis said as he grabbed his hand and pulled him down next to me. He just let out a groan as I looked to the other side of the circle. I noticed Niall look over at Olivia and blush. I guess I have some match making to do.

"I'll go first!" Niall said as he turned to Olivia, "Truth... Or dare?" He said dramatically.

"Truth!" She said, loudly.

"Okay, if you had to go on a date with any of us, who would it be?" Niall asked her.

She just laughed nervously and blushed, "I guess it would be you."

"Hey! That's offensive," Louis said, sitting next to me.

"Sorry lads, I'm irresistible," Niall explained as he wrapped his arm around Olivia. She giggled and nodded.

"Can disagree," she added as she turned to Harry, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare!" He yelled, with a concentrated look on his face.

"I dare you... To knock on the neighbor's door in only your boxers, and tell h?im or her that you lost your grandmother!" Olivia stated, laughing intensely.

"Remind me why I picked dare?" He laughed as he pulled his shirt off, revealing his toned abs. He caught me staring when he said, "Like what you see?" All I could do was look at the floor and laugh. He pulled down his pants and walked out the door.

"Wish me luck!" He spoke.

Moments later, Harry walked back, while laughing like crazy.

"I wish you guys could have seen that! A lady about the age of 60 answered, and tried flirting with me!" He said, out of breath. All of us just gave him funny looks, and we all bursted out into laughter. I even caught Zayn starting to smile.

"She was like 'hey baby, I don't know about your grandmother, but you have found me," he said, still in tears from cracking up.

"But anyways, Zayn," Harry said, trying to calm down.

"Truth or dare?" He asked him.

"Dare I guess. But nothing crazy, I not in the mood."

Is he ever in the mood?

"I dare you to kiss Penny full on the lips for three seconds," he noted.

"No," I answered immediately.

"Sorry love, you have to!" Harry giggled.

I saw Zayn lean over to me and lightly press his soft lips to mine. I could almost feel him squeezing his eyes closed roughly, as if he was very uncomfortable.

It was almost as if time stopped. I felt like I was in a dream, and we were the only two people in the world. But why were there sparks? He's a jerk! I can and do deserve better. But he isn't even mine, so why worry?

I was released from the kiss as everyone stared at us.

"Seems like it lasted a little more than 3 seconds, huh?" Louis said as he winked at me. Did Zayn keep us kissing for longer? I couldn't even tell the time that it lasted. I glanced over to Zayn smirking with his head down. Did he like the kiss? I was startled by a buzz of my phone.

-Hey, Penelope. You are free to leave now. I hope you got to know Zayn. -Uncle John

I sighed and stood up, when Niall spoke.

"Where are you going love?"

"My uncle said I can leave. I would love to continue this game, but I have to get some sleep. I'm going to visit my parents tomorrow," I explained. They all moaned except for Zayn. He just continued to sit like a statue.

"Does this mean Olivia has to leave, to?" Niall asked, seeming pretty upset.

"Sadly. She's my ride," she groaned.

We all exchanged hugs, and what surprised me was that Zayn actually stood up. He didn't hug either me or Olivia, but he ACTUALLY moved.

It isn't usual for him.

On the car ride back from the interesting encounter with One Direction, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss between me and Zayn. I could tell Olivia was in a daze, too.
