Our Little Secret - Zayn Malik AU

The Dance part 1

~Zayn's POV~

I walked to my locker and slammed my fist, making a dent in the door. I sat down, ignoring the stares of other students and placed my head in my hands. How could she do this to me? I thought things were going well between us, then she decides to go home with Harry. It didn't help that she was dancing all over him when she knew I was looking, but she had the nerve to come and tell me that she's going to his house. Does she want me to go crazy and kick his ass? Ariana has completely messed up my life. I used to be the guy who didn't care about anyone, didn't want a relationship and didn't give a fuck about school. Now that I've been trying to prove that she should be with me, I'm the complete opposite; I don't know how to act anymore. I got up from the floor and opened my locker, getting my books for first period.

"Zayn!" I heard Harry's voice across the hall; I wanted to run, but something was telling me to stay. I turned around to face Harry.

"Hey dude, I wanted to ask you something." I nodded pushing away the anxiety building inside me. "Are you sure you don't mind me dating Ariana?" He looked up at me, but I turned away for a second to avoid his eyes.

"Um, yeah. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, well, I just thought because I keep catching you staring at her when she's with other people and you're kind of protective over her and-" I put my hand up to signal him to stop talking.

"Harry, just because I'm protective over her, doesn't mean I have a problem with her being with you. I've known her for such a long time; she's like my sister. I'm just keeping an eye out for her, that's all." What am I saying. My mind is telling me to say that she's only a friend, but my heart is screaming to say that she needs to be with me. He gives me a small smile before speaking again.

"Okay, well, I got to go get my books. Bye." He waved and turned to walk away, but stopped himself. "Oh, I won't be coming over tonight, I'm going to the dance. I assume you're not going." He walked away without turning to look at me again. What the hell was that?

~Ariana's POV~

"What do you mean you didn't have sex with him?" Kendall looked at me in disbelief. "Harry took you home, brought you in bed and you didn't think to yourself, hmm.. maybe I should make love to this gorgeous guy? What the fuck is wrong with you!" I rolled my eyes and continue to get my book out of my locker.

"Listen, Kendall. I told you, it's not like I didn't want to, I just want to be sure that he loves me for me and not for what I do in bed." I slammed my locker shut and made my way to the study.

"Alright, whatever you say. So, what's happening with you and Zayn? Did he finally back off?" We sat at a table as Kendall stared directly into my eyes.

"Honestly, I don't know. When I'm with Zayn, I forget about the world. I've known him for so long and I admit I have developed feelings for him again. I believe every word he says to me and that scares me; I don't know if he's just going to use me like one of those girls he picks up at the club. I don't know what to do anymore. I love Harry, I really do. I've waited to be with him for so long and I love being with him, but I'm worried my feelings for Zayn will ruin everyone. Please help me, Kendall. I seriously don't know what to do." I closed my eyes and put my head on the table. I felt Kendall rub my back until she pulled my arm so I could face her.

"Listen to me, I know you love them both, but it's not fair to cheat on Harry with Zayn and it's not fair to keep getting Zayn's hopes up by sneaking around with him. You need to stop listening to what other people tell her and start listening to yourself, more importantly your heart. Now, I can't tell you who to choose; I can't even help you because that's something you need to figure out for yourself. Sooner or later you're going to have to choose, even if it means breaking someones heart." I nodded slowly and let out a sigh before getting up to walk to my first class.

Kendall was right; what I'm doing isn't fair to anyone, but this is just so hard. I love Harry, but I might also love Zayn. When I'm with Zayn, I feel like we're the only two people on earth. He makes me feel safe and I love that he can be himself around me. But when I'm with Harry, he treats me like a princess and shows how much he cares about me. He truly does care about me and I know that he would do anything for me. I can't think about this anymore. I rushed into class, sat at my desk and put my head in my hands waiting for the final bell to ring.

As the teacher began talking, there was a knock at the door.

"The principal needs to see Ariana Montez at his office." I looked up and saw Zayn leaning against the door frame.

"And why would he send you Mr. Malik, aren't you the one who always skips class?" She gave him a questioning look; he chuckled lightly.

"Which is why he would send me since I'm always in his office anyway. Now please, Miss Natine, Ariana will have to come to the principal's office." She gave him one more questioning look before she sighed and let me leave the class.

I followed Zayn down the hallway, neither of us saying a word. As we turned the corner, he found an empty classroom and pulled me into it.

"What the hell is going on, Zayn?"

"I think Harry is on to us." My eyes went wide.

"Why would you say that?"

"This morning he came up to me asking if it was okay that he was dating you because he thinks I'm a little protective over you."

"Well, what did you say to him?"

"What do you think I said? I told him that I was fine with it even though every word that came out of my mouth was complete bullshit! I want you Ariana, I hate lying to my best friend and convincing myself that I will never have you. Do you understand how much it hurts when we have a great time together, but you still end up running back to him; it fucking kills me. I continue to try to be with you because I have hope that you will choose me, but every time I think you will, you end up in his hands once again. I can't keep doing this, Ariana. It's not fair; knowing that I'm so close to having you, but I won't ever have you. It's not fair that I continue to show you how much I've changed because of you, but you will never love me as much as I love you."

He sat on a desk and let out a big sigh. I just watched him for a couple of minutes before I went to stand between his legs. He looked up at me, then jumped down so that we were standing close to each other. He pushed a piece of my hair behind my ears and swept his thumb over the bruise on my neck. I quickly took his hand and looked towards the floor.

"He did that to you, didn't he?." I nodded without looking up at him. I felt his hand on my waist as he pulled me closer to him. He lifted my chin so that I was looking directly into his eyes as he leaned in and kissed my lips softly. His hand made its way to the back of my neck; pulling me to deepen the kiss. The kiss was so full of love and lust. This felt so wrong, I was with Harry just yesterday night and now I'm kissing Zayn. Kendall and Zayn were right, this wasn't fair to any of them. I pulled away from the kiss and walked back making space between us. He grabbed my hand and tried to pull me close to him again, but I resisted.

"Listen, Zayn. I think it's best if we don't fool around for a little while, just so I can get my head cleared up. You're right, it's not fair for you or for Harry. I just need some time to figure out who I want to be with. I'm sorry." I turned and quickly left the room.

~Zayn's POV~

Why does she always do this? Say a long ass speech then run away. I didn't want her to think that we needed time apart for her to make her decision. Fuck, I want her to be in my arms again. She needs time apart from me, but is still going to that fucking school dance with Harry? I rushed out of the class just as the bell rang and walked towards a tall blonde's locker.

"Alison, you're coming to the dance with me tonight. I'll pick you up at 8, be ready." The blonde girl smirked at me and nodded, flipping her long hair out of her face. I walked back to my locker. If Ariana was going to go to the dance, the so was I.

~Ariana's POV~

I ran to the door where I heard the doorbell ring not long ago. I turned the doorknob to reveal Harry in a fitted black suit with a black shirt. He stepped inside and greeted me with a kiss on the cheek, then handed me a bouquet of roses.

"Thank you, Harry, these are beautiful." I smiled as he looked me up and down. I was wearing a black A-line dress with back cut outs; the sides of the dress were made of black shear. (A/N pic on the side)

"You look absolutely stunning." He took my hand in his and led me to his car, opening the door for me. As he started to drive I felt his hand reach for mine as I was nervously fixing my dress.

"Don't be so nervous, it's only a school dance. Besides, is anything, I should be the one worrying because all the guys are going to be staring at you in that dress." He bit his lip as a giggle escaped my lips. He brought my hand towards his lips and kiss it softly. For the rest of the car ride, Harry rubbed my hand, trying to calm my nerves. Little did he know what I was worried about.

We entered the venue and I immediately spotted Kendall sitting at a table awaiting my arrival. Harry pushed through people, making sure I wouldn't get pushed by other people.

"Ariana, you're finally here!" My best friend attacked me with a hug as I chuckled lightly. "Wow, and you look hot. Hey Harry." She smiled at him then turned her attention to something in the distance. Her smiled slowly faded. I turned to see Zayn across the room making out with a random blonde girl. I suddenly grew furious and turned back to Kendall.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Harry rubbed my back as he realized my sudden change of expression. "Oh, Zayn decided to come to the dance I see." He looked over to him, but I quickly pulled him to the dance floor. I needed to get Zayn off my mind. I shouldn't be angry right now, Zayn always sees me kissing Harry, but it bothers me so much because I do have feelings for Zayn. Why would he come to the dance with a random girl? Why would he come to the dance if he hates dances?

I put my arms around Harry as we started to dance. Harry put his hands on my waist pulling me closer as I swung my hips to the music. I pulled at the bottom of his hair as he tilted his head back in pleasure. His hands slowly move down giving my bum a light squeeze as a small shriek escaped my lips. His deep chuckle filled my ears and he began kissing down my neck; our bodies still moving in sync tot he beat of the song. Harry looked up and locked eyes with me. He licked his lips before crashing onto mine. His kiss was rough, like he was hungry for the taste of my lips. His tongue fought with mine as our lips moved together perfectly. I bit the bottom of his lip and he pulled away, only our foreheads with touching. He kissed me once more before we made our way back to the table.

Once we ended up at the table, Zayn was sitting there with Alison? Of course he would bring the school's slut to the dance. Harry pulled a chair for me as I quietly sat down next to Kendall. Harry grabbed my hand sitting on the other side of me. I couldn't help but look at Zayn, but he wasn't looking at me, he was sucking Alison's face. What the fuck? It was only a few hours ago that he was saying he loves me and now he is making out with this whore. I know I did the same with Harry, but that's different, Harry and I are couple, she just wants to fuck him. Kendall awkwardly coughed as they pulled away from each other. Zayn's eyes met mine, but I quickly looked away.

"I'm gonna go get a drink, babe, do you want one?" Harry placed his hand on my shoulder as I nodded.

"I'll come with you, I'm pretty thirsty." Alison got up and walked towards Harry. He nodded and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before making his way to the bar. Kendall and her date left as well, leaving Zayn and I alone. I awkwardly looked around the room avoiding Zayn's eyes. I felt someone's hand on my thigh as I turned around to see his hazel orbs looking directly into mine.

"What are you doing here, Zayn? You hate school dances! And why did you bring that slut?" I turned so I was directly facing him.

"Whoa, Ariana, calm down. I changed my mind, so I asked someone to come to the dance with me, is that a crime?"

"Don't give me that bullshit, you came so you could keep an eye on me and Harry and you brought Alison along to make me jealous, didn't you?" He smirked at his hand still on my thigh. I tried pushing it away, but he kept it firmly there.

"Maybe I was trying to make you jealous or maybe I was just trying to have a good time and get my mind off of you." He bit his lip and took his hand off my thigh. God dammit, why did he look so good when he bit his lip. I couldn't help myself, I grabbed his collar and pulled his lips on my mine. I got up and sat on his lap, deepening the kiss.

"And people call me the slut." I pulled away from Zayn and saw Alison smirking at me, but Harry was standing right beside her, jaw dropped. He let the drinks fall to the floor and clenched his fist. I got up and ran to Harry.

"Harry listen to me, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, please forgive me." He didn't say anything. He just walked over to Zayn and punched him hard in the face making him fall over.
