Hostage

Chapter 40- Surprise Visit

Reagan POV

"Zayn, I had no idea what you're talking a-."

He cut me off, rolling his eyes. I avoided his gaze and sat down in front of where he was standing.

"Save the lies for someone who doesn't know the truth, Keating."

"Okay. I'll play along. What do you know?"

I was calling his bluff. Louis and I had hid really well. There was no way that he knew.

"I know that you two were a couple up until almost 2 months ago, and that's why you two aren't talking."

"Who told you?"

He scowled, putting some pasta on the stove. I was still confused as to how the secret that I thought I kept was somehow out.

"No one told me. You and Louis aren't as good as hiding as you thought."

"You saw us?"

"Yep."

I could tell that he was angry, but he was trying to hide it.

"Zayn...I just-. I don't-. When?"

"The day that I had lunch with Trinity, I saw you two."

Thinking back, I realized when he was talking about. The day that Louis and I made the sex bet. The day that he and I fought in public when I saw Zayn with Trinity. The day that Zayn kissed me. He sighed and continued.

 "Let me ask you a question. Do you care because he's talking to your sister or because she's talking to your ex-boyfriend?"

"You already know the answer to that."

You wouldn't care if she was talking to Niall, Liam, or Harry, would you? Princess, are you jealous?"

"Jealous of what?!"

"Of your sister! Are you jealous because she's talking to Zayn?"

"I saw you and Louis together, holding hands. I didn't think anything of it until Trinity stopped me from getting up. She told me not to interrupt your intimate moment with your boyfriend. Of course that stopped me right there. She told me that you two had been together for months."

Really? She never could keep a secret. That twat.

"Don't be mad at her", Zayn said, sensing my anger, "She thought I knew. And, why wouldn't she? My best friend and my ex were dating? I should've known."

"Zayn, it's ju-… Wait. You kissed me later that day. If you knew Louis and I were together, why did you kiss me?”

"That was to piss Louis off. Then, I felt badly when I realized that you were the one that wanted to keep the secret, not him. That really was my bad."

"Babe, I'm s-."

"I don't want to hear your lame excuse for not telling me. There is no excuse, Keating. If you guys would've told me, I would've been happy for you. Louis is a great person. And, so...were you. You and Louis have always been close, and I've always thought that your friendship was weird. It was only a matter of time before you got together."

"Zayn, I'm s-."

"I don't care! Don't you understand?"

He was just being all sweet. Now, he's mean? Moody much?

"Understand what?"

Running his hands through his hair, he stood back up. If I'm not mistaken, I could see tears in his eyes. But, why?
