*Zayn's P.O.V*

I finish my burger and look at the lads who are all finished, well, except for Niall who has about 5 more burgers to eat. I wipe my hands and my face, cracking my knuckles right after.

"Where to next?" Harry asks, looking up from his Blackberry.

"I dunno, theatre?" Louis shrugs and the others nod.

"Guys! It's been 4 hours!" I whine, "Can't we just go home?"

"Well, I am getting tired." Niall pipes, and the other boys nod.

"Let's go then." Liam says and we all walk to our limo which was just a few cars away from us.

"I'm driving!" Louis cheers, raising his hand just a millisecond before Harry is able to.

"What?! No! You drove the way here! It's my turn!" Harry protests, crossing his arms and looking at Louis.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Shut up!" Liam yells, and they do, "Let Harry drive, Louis." Harry smirks, but Louis pouts.

"Oh, come on!" Louis exclaims but Liam remains unmoved, "Fine."

"Great. Now, Harry, here are the keys." Liam says and Harry takes the keys, all 5 of us getting in the black vehicle.

"Weirdos..." Niall whispers from beside me and I chuckle.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

"Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadeee!!!" we all shout, running towards the tall brunette and hugging her.

"G-guys..." she chokes, "Can't. Breathe."

We all let go and apologize to her, she just laughs. The boys cheer for swimming and Jade leads us to the pool and after entrusting the pool to us, immediately goes in the house. Then I remember I am wearing pants. Liam and Louis wore shorts to the mall, and Harry and Niall had shorts under their pants. I only have my boxers under my pants, and swimming in boxers is definitely not on my 'to do' list.

"I'm gonna go change." I say as all 5 lads start removing their shirts.

"Okie dokie." they all say, each of them flashing me a smile before diving in the pool.

I laugh and get in the house heading to the room that Jade assigned me to. I search for a pair of clean jersey shorts and put them on, craving the feeling of cold water against my skin. Once I have them on, I run downstairs and for some reason I end up walking down the hallway which leads to the living room.

There, I find a beautiful girl laughing at something I can't quite make up. Her head slightly moves backwards and I see what she is laughing at. It's my picture of when I was 9, with my 3 pets.

"Am I that cute?" I ask, startling the girl and causing her to stop.

Her head snaps toward me and her eyes grow wide, surprise written all over her expression. Her lips gape and she starts hyperventilating. I start panicking and run towards her, kneeling down in front of her on the carpeted floor.

"Um, I don't know what to do at times like this... Uh, breathe...? Yes, breathe! In and out, in and out." I say repeatedly until her breathing becomes stable.

"I'm sorry." she whispers finally.

"It's fine." I smile.

"Um, this is yours, yeah?" she asks, handing me the small photo.

"Yeah, thank you." I nod, taking the photo from her hands, "I'm Zayn, Zayn Malik."

"I know." she giggles, "Danielle." and we shake hands.

Then the blue letter comes in my mind. Danni Annie Davis, it said, my best friend, Jade Elizabeth Martin. Liam's ex, Danielle's nickname is Dani, so maybe this Danielle's nickname is also Danni, only with the two n's. And another factor is that Jade Elizabeth Martin is the same Jade that owns this huge mansion. So maybe the brunette in front of me is Danni Annie Davis.

"Could your nickname possibly be Danni?" I inquire with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, with the two n's." she answers and I'm almost 100% sure that this is the same person.

"What's your whole name?" I ask, hope clear in my voice.

"Danni-"

"ZAYN! WHERE THE FUDGE ARE YOU?! YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON THE FUN!" a voice shouts and  I recognize it as Louis'.

"Coming!" I yell back, "I'll talk to you later, 'kay?"

"Yeah, sure." she smiles.

I stand up and rush outside and to the pool where I find the boys playing water tag. Louis notices me and motions me over. I take off my shirt and jump in the pool, almost landing on a squealing Harry.

These moments are when I really turn to appreciate almost drowning so many times when I took swimming lessons last January.

A/N: It was Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayn!!!! Well, I think that was obvious enough. I mean, this IS a Zayn Malik fan fiction, and it's easy to tell that it's Zayn just from the pets' names...

Anyway, today's Random Fact About Me (RFAM) is....

I used to be our swimming team's best swimmer, winning gold medals in all 12 competitions I competed in until I quit swimming last year.

At the side is a blurred picture of Zayn in the pool....>>>>>>>>>
