Mission abroad

Chapter 7

Zayn walked through my apartment, well paced to be exact. I had told him about me 'date' with Derek last night that I cancelled and he wasn't to pleased. It was hard for him, he wasn't my boyfriend, but he cared for me, and I care for both of them. I don't think Zayn's ever had competition when it comes to women.I couldn't let the silence continue.

"Zayn stop worrying theirs nothing anyone could have done" I called to him. Zayn's turned to face the lounge room where I was seated.

"This whole situation is freaking me out, I only met you yesterday and I'm already obsessing!" Zayn's voice grew to a high pitch. I stood, wrapping my arms around his neck and allowing my body to mold into his. Zayn's body fell limp into me as his arms embraced me.

"Lets just take this as a good sign then? Come on I'm late to class" I pecked his forehead before opening the door, Zayn grunted and followed behind me. I had a late afternoon class and it was across the road from Zayn's apartment. He dropped me off from a few blocks down and went home while I prepared for another lesson.

Zayn's P.O.V

I collapsed onto my bed, her scent still bubbling along the sheets and into my body. Ill admit it, I'm acting like a teenaged girl, I'm just not myself, I'm better. I shook off my shoes and layed comfortably onto my bed, I could sleep anywhere any time of day but now, all I can do is think about Madeline and that Derek guy. What's his deal, Madeline can date whoever she likes, he can't dictate her life. Plus she already has plans to date me. I grinned at the thought of that. I slipped into more comfortable clothing, including the jumper Madeline had borrowed last night and took a cup of tea to the balcony. I watched the building Madeline goes to school in, I wish I could go to school and live like a normal person, but I can't. I sighed before a knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts.

I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling it down my face before unlocking the door to find Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam at my door. I let them in without a word. Niall went straight to the kitchen while Louis and Harry went straight for the couch. Liam on the other hand stood their staring at me.

"What's the issue?" Liam asked, burning a hole through my face. I sighed again before I could answer.

"How'd you know?" I winced waiting for an answer

"You don't hide it well" Liam chuckled

"She has another guy" I groaned. Harry and Louis attention snapped to me and Niall left the kitchen with a pile of food.

"Who?" Harry asked, more shocked than anyone else.

"A guy she met on the plane, Derek" I mocked his name, showing my distaste.

We sat around talking, although most of the talk was about what my plans were with Madeline and Derek, until I went to the balcony to watch the university students leave, everyone else followed and we waited for Madeline to leave. She was with her friends, and straight away the guys knew which one she was, they said she looked like me type, different, in a good way though. Madeline had plans to study and call home tonight and I had a gig so we agreed that space was a good idea, especially since we went from strangers to enemy's to best friends to dating in 5 hours yesterday.

Madeleine's P.O.V

I sat on my stiff couch, thinking about Derek. i felt so terrible for this morning, he didnt deserve that, but neither did Zayn. just my luck, i meet two attractive single men and they both like me... at the same time! gahh, i desided to learn a bit more about Zayn and it turns out, im in love with his voice. before long i could pick it out of an entire song! okay, this wasnt making my choice any easier but it really helped zayns case. Im really not interested in the fame, so watching him proform on stage, his confedence was overwhelming. if i were a one direction fan, he would be my favorite.
