Zayn: Hey, love. x :) 

Me: Hi, Zayn! :D 

Zayn: I miss you. /: 

Me: I miss you, too. :\ 

Zayn: Guess what?  

Me: What? 

Zayn: I'll be in Sydney in... 

Zayn: 5 days! 

Me: OMG that's great! I can't wait! 

Zayn: Me either. It'll be lots of fun! 

Me: How long are you staying? 

Zayn: A whole week! Then I'm going back to Bradford to visit my family. 

Me: So wait. It's your break and you're spending a week with me? :o 

Zayn: Yeah! I thought why not?  

Me: Zayn, no! Your family misses you a whole lot more than I do, I'm sure. 

Zayn: And? I'll be seeing them. No worries. I just want to see my girlfriend.  

Me: We don't go out, Zayn. 

Zayn: Well. True. But you will be my girlfriend. You'll see. 

Me: Yeah. We'll see. 

Zayn: But your name in my phone is Babe<3. What's mine in yours?

Me: Zayn.  

Zayn: Just Zayn? No heart?! No emoji? Nothing?! And to think you were the one. 

Me: Zayn! Stop being silly. We're only 19. Easy on the "one". 

Zayn<3: But I'm serious! Add something to my name. A heart, at least.

Me: Okay. Alright. Just. One heart.  

Zayn<3: Yay! I love you!

Me: Naw. (A/N: It's like aw. Not like nahh.)

Zayn<3: Say it!

Me: How can I say I love you to a man I don't even date, besides family? 

Zayn<3: Say it!

Me: I love you. Happy now?

Zayn<3: Yas I am. You need to count your blessings, missy! Directioners would kill themselves if I toled them I loved them more than fans!

Me: Oh, please, Zayn. Don't get me started on those fans.

"Helly! Harry's coming in 5 days!" Emily says, scrambling into my room and sitting on my back.

"Zayn's coming in that time, too. Think they're trying to double date?" I ask, twisting my neck so I can see her from my peripheral vision.

"Oh my gee! That would be splendid! I wonder where they'll take us?" Emily wonders, looking at her screen, smiling. Must be Harry.

"But seriously. Why would they both take a week out of their break to see us? I mean...we're just girls that feel a certain way about them and vice versa," I state, turning myself around so she's now sitting on my stomach.

"Harry and I are close to dating. How's progress with Zayn?" Emily asks, staring at me with her huge brown eyes.

I sigh, putting my phone on hibernate. "I don't want to move so fast. I mean, we like each other and all, but things are going too speedy for me to comprehend, you know?"
