Lauren is Doniya's bestfriend and Zayn is a virgin and well....things got steamy and cute after 😂😂😂Her face was the first thing he saw in the crowd.
Zayn swallowed back the fright and nervousness in his throat, then gripped on his suitcase tight. Part of him was grateful that Doniya couldn't pick him up at the airport, while another part of him wanted to cuss his sister out because he wasn't expecting any of these.
He wasn't expecting to meet Lauren. He knew he would meet her soon because he would live with her, but not now. Not when he was fresh from a long flight and looking like a zombie.
His eyes wandered around, desperately looking for a bathroom. He wanted to splash some water on his face and maybe fix his hair and spray some cologne. He wanted to look...presentable. He waited for two years for this moment.
Two years. He'd been crushing on his sister's best friend for two years. For two years he admired her from afar. Literally.
When Doniya decided to spread her wings and study in Florida, Zayn was devastated. Their whole family was close to each other, and the fact that one of them had to leave Bradford was a bitter pill to swallow for him.
Two months after Doniya's departure, she skyped the whole Malik family and introduced her new house mate slash bestie, Lauren Jauregui.
Zayn was speechless when he saw her on the computer's screen. He was mesmerized. Enthralled. Like she cast a spell over him.
After that night, Zayn followed Lauren in all of her social media accounts. Facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, even pinterest. When she tried the app where she could lip-sync with her favorite songs, he tried it, too. When she practically spent half of her day snapchatting, he installed the annoying app just for her.
Was he obsessed? Maybe. But did he give a shit? Nah.
For two years, all he did was double tap her selfies and admire her in silence. He never dared to leave a comment, nor slid in her dms.
He wasn't that brave.
"Hi!"
Zayn blinked, shocked to see Lauren in front of him.
Oh shit. Shit shit shit.
Act normal, Z. Don't fucking mess this up.
He gulped and flashed a smile, his heartbeat loud in his ears. "You're real."
Zayn mentally cursed himself. The words carelessly fell from his mouth and now he just gave the most outstanding greeting ever.
Good fucking job, Zayn. You fucking idiot.
Lauren's delicate brows bumped in confusion, though the smile on her face didn't fade. "What did you say?"
Zayn quickly licked his dry lips. "I mean...you're really here," he stated fast, shoving a hand into his pants' pocket. "I uh...I thought Niya would pick me up."
"Oh," she beamed, her sweet smile sending warm tingles through his body. "I thought she informed you that about it. There was a sudden change in her shift this week so she can't make it."
He nodded and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah...yeah she told me. I uh...I just forgot."
She smiled again and stretched her arms in the air. "Welcome to Miami!" she chirped, then stepped forward to pull him to a hug.
Holy shit
Zayn's knees wobbled when her arms embraced him tight. She felt so soft...so tender...so feminine.
