"I know." Zayn's words haunt me. Its all he said too, then he just walked away as if it hadn't happened at all. I try to clear the intimidating words from my mind but I just cant seem to shake this feeling that he means he knows about the one thing I didn't tell anyone. Not even Jiniffer Lowes, our outgoing next door neighbor.
We were good friends because of our positions. Shes Robert Downey Jr.'s personal maid and watches over his home while hes working. She respects the man and even has a sort of celebrity crush on him, but who could blame her, hes hot!
She knows everything about me, even the details that my guy friends don't know.
She doesn't know about my crush on Niall though, no one does. Though apparently Zayn knows something he thinks he can use against me. Im a pretty open person, so there's really only one thing he could be talking about...
The colour drains from my face and I gulp, trying to act normal. "Hey! Krys, can you toss me that ball?" Niall calls out to me and I kick the soccer ball to him. "Thanks, love." he says, putting the ball in the general area that they have set up as center field. "Okay, Lou and Haz are goalies. Meself and Zayn are forwards. Krys and Liam are midfielders. We good with that?" Niall says.
"We really need two more players to do defense." Lou points out.
"I could invite Jin over." I offer.
"Cool. Now we need one more player." Niall nods and I climb the rock wall separating the two properties.
"JIN!!" I yell, my hands cupped on either side of my mouth as I sit perched on the top of the wall. Seconds later a bronze girl about my age in a maid's outfit comes to the back door.
"What do you want, Krys?"
"Come play football with us." I tell her, not really giving her a say in the matter.
"I got floors to mop, Krys. I have to make sure everything is ready for when Robert comes home."
"C'mon. Just one game?"
"Fine. One game. And then we both have work to do." she says, climbing the wall.
"Hey! If it isn't my favourite Aussie!" Zayn says, enveloping the girl in a hug. She blushes slightly and I laugh. Many of our conversations have been over that tanned Brit. She just so happens to think that he's the best thing in the world and has a major crush on him. She says she'll ask him out eventually, but shes been saying that ffor three years so I don't look forward to any change.
"Well, if it isn't my four least favourite Brits and my fave Irish man!" she smirks and Niall gives her a sloppy, wet kiss on the cheek.
"Take that!" he smiles, giving his four friends the finger. They send the same one right back and hugs are given out.
"So who are we gonna get as the last player?" Zayn asks, claiming Jiniffer for his own team.
"Why don't we invite Justin over? He loves to play football." Jinni offers.
"Yeah! He would love that."
"Who's Justin?" Niall asks, a sour tone in his voice.
"He's the Devin's butler. We know the help in this neighbourhood, love." I smile at him and pat his cheek.
"Sure. Invite him to play. But he has about five minutes before I start this game." Niall states, turning and dragging Louis away to the other side of the make-shift field.
"Hey, Justin. Its Jin. What say you to a game of football at Horan's place?... Perfect. You're a gem. You've got about three minutes, so I'd hurry."
"Hes in." she says after hanging up.
"Good. Then we'll have even teams and can get this thing started." Liam smiles.
"Hey, girls. Did you miss me?" the cocky brunette says, slinging an arm over both of our shoulders.
"Like a rash, Justin." I smile, flicking his arm off of my shoulders. He pretends to kiss Jinni and I see jealousy flare up in Zayn's eyes. Ha! Gotcha, Malik! Now we're even.
"Get off of me, you prick!" she says, shoving him away playfully.
"Can we start the game already, or are we going to chat?" Niall asks, obviously still sour by the tone in his voice.
"Game on!" we say together, and the game starts.
