Just Friends

Chapter 9

The bus ride to the next city was long. It took roughly five hours on an uncomfortable tour bus. We were all to hyper to sleep so we all stayed in the back lounge and watched a movie.

I wasn't necessarily interested in the movie. It was one of the Twilight movies, which I have seen so many times I could probably say all the lines by memory. Plus, I was too busy thinking about what had happened with Zayn tonight.

And not to mention the awkward walk to the bus with ripped underwear under my leggings. Thankfully, the boys were on their bus tonight and probably dead asleep. I don't think I could look Zayn in the eye again for the rest of the night.

"Megan? Megan." Alex tapped me on the shoulder.

"What?"

"Are you okay? You have been staring at the wall for the past fifteen minuets." She asked.

"Oh, um yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." I lied, horribly at that. But, she didn't question me anymore and just turned her head to the movie again.

I got up to go to the little kitchen and find myself a Coke, wobbling along the way because of the sway of the moving bus.

I quickly checked my phone to see if it was done charging.

"Full battery thank god." I mumbled to myself, taking it off the charger. I powered it back on and went though my twitter feed. I had gone up a few thousand in the past hour, to my surprise.

I went through my mentions for a bit, smiling at all the nice comments I was getting. I clicked a few follow buttons and also a few block buttons. Hate was just something fame comes with, right?

I was interrupted on my twitter spree by my phone alerting me about a new message.

*New Message From: Zayn Malik*

I almost spit out my mouthful of Coke as the notification popped up on my screen. It was almost 3:30 in the morning, what was he doing up?

*Are you up? -Zayn*

I quickly replied.

*Yeah, I'm surprised you are though. -Meg*

*Cant sleep. I'm the only one up except for Louis. Are the other girls up? -Zayn*

*Oh, I see. And yeah they are. But they are watching a movie I'm more than bored with. -Meg*

*Well, I can entertain you. -Zayn*

"Megan! What are you doing?" Lola came up behind me, making me jump.

"Oh, I was getting something to drink. But, I think I'm going to go to bed so goodnight." I awkwardly scurried around Lola and escaped to my bed, well bunk.

"You are so weird." I heard her mumble. I rolled my eyes and went back to my conversation with Zayn.

*Well, how exactly can you do that? -Meg*

*By talking to me, of corse. -Zayn*

I rolled my eyes at his cocky reply.

*Oh, silly me. I should have know. -Meg*

*You should have. So, did you have fun tonight?;) -Zayn*

Hmm.. A winky face. That was a first.

*I surprisingly did. But, I didn't like you ripping my favorite pair of underwear in half. -Meg*

*Surprisingly? Did you think it would be horrible? And don't worry, I'll buy you some new ones. Ones that I like. -Zayn*

*Ones that you like? And I didn't think it was going to be horrible, I just thought you would be upset that I said no. You know, to going all the way. -Meg*

*Just because you and I are friends with benefits doesn't mean I don't care about how you feel. If you wanted to be in a different place, then so be it. And yes some that I like. I prefer red or dark blue. -Zayn*

I smiled slightly at his message, relieved that he understood.

*Okay good. I'm glad. -Meg*

*Are you nervous? -Zayn*

I was taken of guard by his seemingly concerning question.

*Um, just a bit. I don't want to mess up anything or do anything wrong. -Meg*

*Don't worry about a thing. We will take it slow, the first time at least. Get you used to it. Then after that, the real fun can begin;) See you in the morning. -Zayn*

My cheeks went red once again at his message. "We will take it slow, the first time at least." I quickly told him goodnight, then shut off my phone. I laid there for a few moments, thinking about what was to come tomorrow, but soon fell asleep.
