'Cupid' to the Rescue

A/N: Again, I'm picking up where I left off in the last chapter. It's the same night, So . . . Enjoy! I had hiccups when I typed this so ever so often the laptop would jump up and I'd make a weird sound. I hate hiccups so much!

Chpt 17: 'Cupid' to the Rescue

~Zayn's Pov~

So after watching that random video about Charlie the Unicorn, candy mountain and Charlie losing a kidney, we decided to watch another movie - not a horror this time. I was barely paying attention to this movie and ever so often I would glance at Shae and Liam and they would be laughing at something that no one else knew about. They were acting like a couple and in my head I knew they weren't but it's pretty hard for me to not get jealous.

"Do you have ice-cream," I asked and turned to face Shae. She opened her mouth to answer but Liam beat her to it. Stupid Liam, this would have been the first time she talked to me for the day but no he had to answer for her.

"Yeah, there's suppose to be some vanilla," he replied curtly.

"Oh, I want ice-cream too," I heard Chelsea say," anyone else?" she asked. There was a chorus of no's as I walked into the kitchen, Chelsea came in behind me, closing the door. I went to the freezer and took out the tub of vanilla ice-cream, then I went for two cups and spoons and I started to take out some as Chelsea just sat on the counter.

"I'm going to help you. Don't ask me why, I just am so except it," she said, breaking the silence. I frowned at the brunette. " Please don't say that you don't know what I'm talking about," she said.

"I'm still lost," I replied.

"Shae. The person that's been making you look like a sad lost puppy. How could you not know that? Zayns these days!," she exclaimed and shook her head.

"How exactly?" I asked, not even bothering to try and deny it. Chelsea opened her mouth to reply but she didn't get a chance because the door opened to show... Shae.

"I hope you don't mind but I changed my mind about the ice-cream," she said to me but she did her best to not make eye contact.

"Yeah, sure," I mumbled and handed her the cup I had in my hand. She pulled the spoon out of the dairy goodness and put it in her mouth when she was done with the spoon, she put it in the sink and went to the draw and got a fork.

"Thanks," she said softly and left the kitchen. I turned back to the counter and started to put some ice-cream into the other cup. When I was finished I looked at Chelsea. "So how are you gonna help?" I asked again and again we got interrupted. Niall tiptoed into the kitchen, froze, looked around like we couldn't see him and then continued to tiptoe to the counter. He took the cup of ice-cream and then dashed out of the kitchen.

"Um... okay then... I'll pretend that Niall didn't just do that and the answer to your question. You two just need to talk it out. Have some alone time," she said simply.

"Yeah and how is that going to happen with a house full of nine people?"

"Oh Zayn," she said shook her head," Why don't you just leave everything to me, okay?" she said as she pat my arm. "Can you hurry it with the dairy goodness? I was serious when I said I wanted," she said to me and I sighed and started to take out two more cups of ice-cream.

When I was done we walked back to the living room and I saw Shae sitting on Liam's lap as he took the cup away from her and started to eat it. "Hey that's mine," she said and snatched it from him. "Go get your own," she said and took the fork out his mouth. Now I understood why she took the fork.
