Step 2- An Accomplice

Chapter 21: Step 2- An Accomplice

Zayn's POV

I assumed the plan was going perfectly because Jade and Gabrielle seemed to be very close.

"Anything new today?" I asked her as she came towards me obviously happy she had a new girl friend

"Well, she's being less vague with her life with Christian. And they were supposed to go out tonight but something came up for him."

"Does this mean we commence phase 2?"

She nodded.

"Want me to meet you at yours or will you come to mine?" I asked her

"You can come to mine if you want." She blushed

"Alright then. Just tell me what time." I squeezed her hand and her eyes widened

"I think 8 is dark enough." She pulled her hand away from mine and pretended to busy them

I didn't realize a small gesture such as holding her hand would make her nervous. I just hoped things wouldn't be awkward tonight.

I arrived at her house, 10 minutes to 8 and I waited at the door after ringing the doorbell. As the door opened, I didn't see Gabrielle, but a woman who looked like her. She was fairly tall and had long brown hair and blue eyes much like Gabrielle's. The corners of her mouth turned up into a smile when she saw me.

"You must be Zayn." She held out her hand to me

"And I'm guessing you're Gabrielle's sister?" I said charmingly, shaking her hand

She laughed and clutched the door frame.

"You seem like a nice boy. Why don't you come inside?" Mrs. Morrison started to lead me inside but Gabrielle came running down the stairs and grabbed my arm to prevent me from going inside

"No that's quite alright." Gabrielle said

I looked down at what she was wearing for a moment; black skinny jeans and a dark blue, button-down shirt.

"Gabrielle! Couldn't you dress better for your date?" Her mother asked

Gabrielle turned scarlet red.

"M-Mum! It's not a-a....."

"Don't worry Mrs. Morrison, I think she looks fine for what we're going to do." I slinked my arm around her waist and she tensed

I leaned down to her ear.

"I like your mum." I said before leaning in more to kiss her right below her earlobe

"W-Well we're off!" Gabrielle stuttered

"Alright, you guys have fun!" Her mother called

While we were walking away I turned to grin at Gab. She gasped.

"You're such a tease!" She shoved me

I laughed with her.

"Seriously, don't do that again. You're putting ideas in her head." She warned me

We sat in the car that I had borrowed from my parents.

"Umm, I realized I hadn't seen your dad...Are your parents divorced?" I asked, carefully, not knowing if it was a touchy subject for her

"No. My dad was inside. I just didn't want him to see you and start interrogating you," She chuckled, "What about yours?"

"Same." I said keeping my eyes on the road
