Zayn

It's been a month since I've started working at the liberary. It's really fun and quiet. I'm always in the romance section. It's as if by luck harry always places me there.  Because i'm a sucker for romance and I absolutely adore that section.

I'm humming along to a song that has been stuck in my head for a while now. "I'm the one yeah, I'm the only one" That is the only line I know and it frustrates me that i can't sing the whole song. My thoughts have me so concentrated that i don't realise I'm walking with a stack of books in my hands untill I bump into a figure taller and bulkier than me.
With one swift moment all the books I'm carrying lay flat on the ground with me over them. I open my eyes to realise that my glasses are off too. I'm practically blind without them. I curse under my breath trying to look for them.

The person I bumped into chuckles and the sound is so low that it sends shivers down my spine. He bends down and places my glasses on the bridge of my nose, his warm fingertips come into contact with my temple for just seconds but I can already feel my head heat up. I curse myself for blushing but then I look at the guy just inches away from my own face. My heart skips a beat as I stare into his warm brown eyes.

"Hey" He says, the smirk on his face makes me want to swoon. I don't know what to say back. So i stutter out a hello. He just smiles and gets up. Then he extends his hand for me to grab. I hesitate for a second. But when his hand touches mine my whole body feels like it's on fire. He pushes me up so that I'm standing, but the jerk is too much for my small body and I end up really close to his face. The smirk on him tells me he did that on purpose.

"You should be more careful, Zayn." He whispers in my ear. Hearing him say my name with a voice like that makes me whimper. I try to hide it but I know he's heard me because he takes a hold of my chin and lifts my face up so that we're looking into eachothers eyes. I want to gulp as a lump in my throat irritates me but I don't want to give him the satisfaction.

"Boys like you should stay home." Liam's words snap me out of my trance. What does he mean? I shove his hand away from me. Angry at what he just indirectly called me.

"Boys like me huh? God you're such a jerk" I snap at him in frustration. His eyes go wide and he tries to stop me but I stomp away. Ready to go home.

As I leave the liberary I see that black clouds reign the sky indicating the start of a pour. I curse myself for not having a car. But I need to get home so I take a deep breath and start walking down the side walk.

Just as i suspected, the bloody rain has me soaked even before I'm half way to my house. Ignoring the rain my mind moves back to Liam and what the jerk said. Boys like you.

The words take me back to all the bad times I've faced in Bradford. They make me shiver and I feel tears pooling in my eyes. Good thing it's raining then. As I'm walking a car pulls up at my side, it's a black Range Rover, a thing of pure beauty. But I ignoring it and keep walking, I know better than to get in cars with strangers. The passenger mirror rolls down and I glare at who I see.

"Oh so you're stalking me now? Asshole" I snap at Liam, he looks confused like a lost puppy.

"Zayn, Get in the car, it's fucking freezing out here you'll die before you get home" My heart skips a beat, it's not Liam, it's James. I stop for a second, contemplating what he just said. His brother may be a jerk but he won't be... right? Regardless I get in the car.

The warmth of the car makes my whole body spasm, and an ungodly sound escapes my lips. My face immidiately heats up and my cheeks turn rosy. God I hate it when I blush like a school girl.

I can see James looking at me from the corner of my eyes.

"Are you alright?" His voice is so sweet and genuine that it makes me smile. My heart is beating so fast that i fear it might stop. But i manage to look at him.

"I'm good. But i'll get your seats all wet" I say, thanking God that my voice doesn't crack. He chuckles and I swear it's the most beautiful thing in the world.

"You're really cute" He says while laughing, and I can't help but want go cover my face because it's probably all red. He says nothing, just looks at me for a long time and then starts the car, asking for my address.

We get to my apartment too early for my liking. I see the building and I sigh. Just being next to James made me feel so happy. He's so out of my league yet he's paying attension go me. Something that is very new.

"You want to come inside?" I ask hopfully, as he stops the car. He looks like he's thinking. And then he smiles.

"Sure"

I come back to the living room after I had excused myself to go get changed. I smile when I see James with Izumi, my white persian sitting on his lap.

"She likes you" I say, James doesn't seem startled by my voice he just looks up.

"Yeah well I like her too" He says, he has no idea how cute he is to me right now. I want to scream.

"No, she doesn't usually like my guests." I explain. He smiles and says, "well that just means you've been having all the wrong guests over" I laugh at that and sit next to him.

"So i think Liam did something, seeing as you snapped at me earlier" He says, and I look at him guiltily.

"Yes I'm sorry about that. I had an argument with him" I apologize. He just shakes his head.

"Thats Liam for you, he's always saying the wrong things at the wrong moments. And he usually almost always gets people thinking he hates them when all he wanted to say was the opposite" He sighs. I smile at him.

"You're older than him?" I ask, although I'm pretty sure he is.

"Yes 12 minutes 3.784 seconds" James smiles, "how did you know?"

"Shot in the dark, plus my older brothers talk just like that about me" I reply smiling at the thought of Zahid and Jamal.

"How many siblings are you?" James asks, he's still smiling and I want him to never stop. His smile is just so mesmerising.

"I have four. Two older brothers and two younger ones, so five including me" James whisled at that making me giggle. And then I realise that we're sitting really close to eachother and he's facing me, with a determined look on his face.

"How many do you have?"

"It's just Liam and I" he whispers. I feel as if my heart might explode because I can feel James inching closer to me. Our noses touch and I think something snaps inside of him. Because he jolts up.

"I-I should go" He says and then just speedwalks out of the door, leaving me with my nervous heart wondering why he stopped.
