Maia's POV:

It's now 5:50pm and I am heading over to the Malik's house.

I wonder if Zayn will be home the whole time or if he will even talk to me if he's there.

I'm wearing a bomber jacket, black jeans, and heels to babysit.

I start walking to the house next door and ring the doorbell. It opens to Trisha smiling and saying she has to go.

I wave and close the door behind me. I look straight at Safaa and see her looking straight at me smiling.

"Maia!! Your here!" Safaa says as she runs into my arms.

"Of course I'm here! We are going to have such a fun night tonight." I say to her smiling at how cute she is.

"Yay! But make sure not to go to z's room I don't want you to get hurt." She says with worry in her eyes.

Zayn is here? Oh this definitely is going to be fun.

"Okay honey." I start walking to the huge couch in front of the tv.

"So what movie do you want to watch? Frozen? Despicable me? Princess and the frog?" I ask looking all the options on Netflix.

"I wanna watch fifty shades of gray" she says pointing to the screen.

I try not to laugh and say "No Safaa how about we watch Frozen"

I click it and the movie is 20 minutes in and Safaa gets hungry. I look around the kitchen to find something to eat when Zayn comes in.

"Ugh your here again? Id rather babysit Safaa then have you here" Zayn says rolling his eyes.

"Excuse me? You'd set the house on fire if you babysitted anyone." I say looking around for food. "Do you guys even have any food around here? I'm just gonna order pizza."

"Did I ask?" Zayn says looking down at his phone. He then looks up at me and looks at my heels. "Heels? For babysitting? Your an interesting girl." And then he walks away.

I call the pizza place and order cheese pizza. I walk back out to see Safaa's eyes glued to the tv screen.

I sigh and the doorbell rings. The pizzas here. I start walking to the door but then am beat to it with Zayn walking to the door opening it.

He opens it and hands the pizza deliverer the money. He closes the door and sets the pizza down on the table.

I stare at him and then he speaks, "What? Did you actually think I'm gonna let you pay?" He grabs a pizza slice and walks away.

I smile and turn to give Safaa pizza.

**********************************

It's now 11pm and Trisha isn't home. Safaa is now asleep in her room and I'm just sitting on the couch waiting till she's back.

I hear music and follow where it's coming from. The door is closed and I open it to see Zayn laying on his bed throwing a ball against the wall and catching it while a music player is playing music loud as fuck.

But then I notice the song changes and it's playing my all time favorite band 5 seconds of Summer's song Wrapped around your finger.

I scream and Zayn notices me and looks at me with his eyebrows raised.

"THROWING ROCKS AT YOUR WINDOW AT MIDNIGHT YOU AND ME MET IN YOUR BACKYARD THAT NIIIIGHT IN THE MOONLIGHT YOU LOOK JUST LIKE AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE MY WHOLE LIFE SEEMED LIKE A POSTCARD YOU WERE MIIIINNNEEE FOR A NIGHTTTTT I WAS OUTTTT OF MY MINDDDD YOU WERE MIIIIINNNNEE FOR A NIGGHHHHTT I DONT KNOW HOWWWW TO SAY--" I scream at the top of my lungs.
