Him.

Chapter 6

Zayn's POV

I have no idea why I just did that. She's probably gonna hate me now. What if everything turns awkward from now on? Fuck you hormones.

I tried my best not to act weird in front of my grandma but she noticed. She knows me too well. "Why are you acting like a frog that's barely eaten, Zayn?" She looked up from her newspaper. "Oh, it's nothing grandma...just a bit tired," I groaned as I sat next to her.

I soon hugged her. The first thing I'd do after I get home from work everyday. That embrace would always make me the kid I was when my parents died. The kid who watched his parents' dead bodies being covered with white sheets when he got to the hospital with his granny. I was 4. Yes, FOUR when I had to enter the category of an orphan. But my grandma did everything possible to make the young man I am today. She worked day and night in a newspaper department. I owe her. I owe her so fucking much.

And to clarify, my parents died from a car accident.

I pulled away from the embrace only to hug her again and kiss her head.

"How was your day grans?" I asked starting conversation again. "It was all boring and I was stuck here with this little newspaper until you came, love" she smiled "I feel much better now."

That answer made me smile. This woman could make any gloomy day into a bright one within a matter of seconds. I love my grandma so much.

"Zayn, what's been bugging you the past few days?" Told you she knows me too well. "You've been zoning out and thinking quite a lot. I know you thought I wouldn't have noticed but I have. Now, what is it?"

"Grans, it's actually uhm..I-I love this girl b-but she's my best friend and I dunno what to do," I said and looked down at the floor.

I looked up again to find my grandma smirking. Smirking? Why was she smirking?

"Is this girl Brianna?" She asked still smirking. My eyes widened.

"How'd you know?"

"I always knew you two would fall in love," she smiled.

"Yeah, but, she doesn't love me back," I replied sadly. "Well, at least that's what she said," I rambled on.

"Well, the time will come, my love," she smiled again. "If you deserve her, you'll get her."

"Let's hope so," I replied sadly again. Only if she knew what Tom was up to. I wish I could tell her but I can't. I have to do everything I can to protect Bri from that asshole.

"I'm gonna go up and rest, grans. I love you," I got up from my spot next to her and smiled at her.

I run up to my room and quickly remove my leather jacket and throw it over to the couch. Next comes the jeans. I was fumbling with my belt when I hear a small cough I look over to my window to see Bri in her room, standing by her window. Shit. It just clicked. My window is open and Bri is watching me awkwardly cause I'm basically half naked. I chuckle awkwardly and walk over to my window and wave. She smiles. That smile.

"Can I come over tonight?"

"Sure," she answers with a smile.

Thank god she doesn't remember the kiss.

"I'll be there as soon as I'm done changing," I say to her and turn around.

"Close your windows, Zayn," she laughs.

"Oh, yeah sorry."

"It's fine. You're still the same."

"What?"

"I mean you're still like that 7 year old I met back in second grade. So careless." she smiles again. That smile.

"Oh," I chuckle again. "Hold the conversation, I'll be there in two minutes, Brianna." I say like I'm talking to a child.

She smiles and waves me off. I close my windows and roll my blinds shut and turn back to change again.

Brianna's POV

Zayn comes over in no time and we start chatting.

"Zayn?"

"Mhm?" he mumbles looking at the tv.

We've planned on watching some lame comedy as usual. I've missed being so close with Zayn.

"I've missed you."

"Missed me as in?" he questions, a sly grin on his face. Typical Zayn.

"Like spending time with you like.." I think of something to say "when we used to watch comedies every night and order pizza and then act like we're having a family fight when the delivery guy comes so he takes the money soon and goes away before we give him his tip," I laugh at the memory. Zayn chuckles too.

"Remember when we once told him that we didn't order it and then he was like no this is the only house with this address and we kept arguing about it and he just left the pizza at our doorstep," he laughs again. I laugh harder at the memory.

"Yeah, I miss those times."

"Yeah, me too," he smiles at me.

"Let's do something today," I say sitting up straight and smirking.

His eyes widen at my words.

"God! Zayn!" I smack his arm. "Not like that."

He laughs, his eyes wrinkling. I watch him, shaking my head at his dirty mind.

He soon recovers from his 'laugh-like-theres-no-tomorrow' disease and sits up and starts whining. "But not pizzaaaa," he whines over and over.

"Okay okay!"

"What do we order?" he asks like a girl in a high pitched voice which makes me laugh again. He watches me and screams "Chineeeeeese!"

"What?" I ask not catching what he said.

"We're ordering Chinese!" He grins.

"No!" I say sternly.

"Oh yes we are, Biri!"

"My name is not Biri" I say angrily.

He laughs harder at this. I watch him and instantly start laughing too. Oh, how much I've missed this boy.

"But why Chinese?" I pout.

"'Cause I love Chinese and you're going to try Chinese today," he grins tapping my nose.

"Hell no, I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No."

"Please?" he pouts. Oh my god he's so cute. I wish I could kiss those pink lips right now. What?

"Fine!" I say finally.

"The pout always work," he says smirking.

"You know I could still take that 'fine' back!" I snap.

"No no no no," he whines.

"Okay, Zayn. Order already!"

"Hang on," he grabs his phone from the coffee table and dials a restaurant.
