They dont know about us

Chapter 16

Lakshmi's POV

I woke up and dressed in a white summer dress just to make use of the weather. It showed of my skin tone very nicely. For some reason after the interview I dyed my hair back to black and I stopped with the heavy makeup. I was returning back to my old self which I think a lot of people will be happy about. I come out of my room to see the table covered in a white cloth and on it a spread of very delicious looking breakfast foods. In the middle of the table was a chocolate fountain. It looks like Zayn has a date tonight. Which is totally cool with me because I do not have any feelings left for him at all. And that is final.

"Don't worry I'll leave soon", I say to Zayn who is rummaging in the fridge for something. I grab some milk and pour it into a glass. He turns to face me. He's wearing a white button down shirt and some new jeans. Yup definitely a date, and an important one.

"No this is for us", he says and I spit my milk out onto his face. I start coughing and he wipes his face with a cloth.

"What?", I say sharply and take another sip of milk.

"This is for us", he repeats. I know dude I heard you the first time. Why is he doing this?

"Why?", I ask hoping to get an answer this time but not prevailing. He just pulls the chair out and sits me down. He puts some waffles and ice cream on the plates and we start eating. The food is delicious, "this is great", I say and he smiles at me.

"I made it myself", he says and I raise an eyebrow. Zayn burns water. There no way he made this, "I had it made myself", he admits and I nod.

"That's what I thought", I say. We spend the next few minutes in silence. I watch him intently. I look at his movements and I analyze them to try and see what he's trying but I get nothing.

"So how'd university?", he asks taking a bite of a strawberry, "have you made any friends yet?"

I answer cautiously. Zayn is no longer close to me so I can't reveal too much to him. "Yeh two guys called Luc and Alec and a girl called Lorena". He tenses up at Lorena. I think it's nothing probably he knew someone with the same name or something.

"That's good", he says. I notice he has ice cream on his face. I really want to wipe it off. But that would be getting too close. I have to pretend to be mad at him even though I'm not, because if I pretend it might come true. I can't be friends with him or anything because then I know I'll fall for him again and that can't happen.

"Zayn why did you do all of this?" I ask him and he sits back on his chair.

"I can't live like this anymore. I need you in my life, even if we're just friends. I can't forget about you. Whenever I see a tabloid about how happy we are it make me sad because we're not. I know you don't feel the same but I still love you and I never stopped", I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I do love him, but at the same time I hate him. Every time I look at him it kills me to know what we used to have we don't have anymore. Sometimes I want his lips on mine so desperately. The only way I've survived is by maintaining distance between us for the last month. But I can't see him like this. I want to rekindle our friendship.

"Let's go to the movies", I suggest and he leans forward.

"After Earth?", he suggests and I basically jump out of my seat. I've been wanting to see that film since the trailers came out. Will Smith is a legend, he even has a movie called 'I am Legend'. It's like Shakira's hips are worth wiring a song over.

"Definitely, lets go", I say and we walk out of the flat, "we can eat the rest for dinner".

..at the cinema..

We order a large popcorn each and decide to share a Ben and Jerry's ice cream shake. Ah Ben and Jerry two men who have always been there for me. There are a few paps taking pictures of us but we ignore them.

Suddenly a girl appears next to us. She has brown hair styles in beach waves and is wearing very revealing clothes. "Hey", she says to Zayn. Moving In-between us, "what's your name?", she asks him. Well at least she doesn't know who he is.

"You don't know who I am?", he asks confused. Mostly girls come onto him because he's Zayn Malik.

"No should I? Anyways I'm Nita", she introduces. I cough but she is obviously ignoring me.

"I'm Lakshmi, his girlfriend", I say firmly. But she just waves me off. Wait she waved me of. Me.

"Hey lookit sister", I say to her, "this is my boyfriend and unless you want my foot up your ass you better get you and your fake assets of him". She just smirks at me and walks away muttering something along the lines of, "it was worth a try".

"Is someone jealous?", Zayn asks me. I snort. I wasn't jealous of anyone. But I did get a sinking feeling in my stomach when that girl came onto him.

"No the papas were watching and I couldn't let them think I'd let a random girl hit on you while I was her could I", I explained although I don't know if I was trying to convince him or me.

"If you say so", he replies and leads me into the darkened movie theatre. The movie plays shortly after we arrive and I settle in for an hour and a half of pure paradise. But within five minutes Zayn is asleep. The movie finishes and I try to wake Zayn up which is not an easy job. After lots of shaking I decide to try something. I press my lips onto his and he opens his eyes.

"Did you just kiss me?", he asks and I shake my head.

"Nope", I reply and walk out of the theatre leaving him to run and catch up with me.

..at home..

"I can't believe you slept through the movie", I tell him. He was sitting on the couch with our breakfast on the table. Neither of us wanted to cook so leftover pancakes it was.

"I got bored", he confessed and I rolled my eyes. Boys.

"Well it was a great movie", I tell him and he nods and I yawn and stretch my arms like a cat.

"Tired love?", he ask and I get butterflies at the word love. Something we once had.

"Yup and I wanna sleep", I say. I was way too lazy to actually get up and walk to my bedroom. Especially when there was a layout of food two massive duvets and mean girls movie where I was.

"Then go to sleep", he said in a 'duh' voice.

"I don't wanna move", I whines and he laughed and patted his chest. I laid down on it and soon our breathing was in time and I was asleep.

A/N sup ma bitches? I like that opening. So hey guys. This chapter got deleted so I had to write it again. The former chapter had Benedict Cumberbatch in it but I cut him out because as much as I love him her wasn't fitting in the story. I'm a cumberbitch.
