It's been two days, two days since my date with Zayn. He's been keeping the act up by texting me every now and then for a conversation, and i have to admit i'm starting to take a liking to him. I'm meeting Meg and Luke today, it's our last day at each of our jobs as we're working all summer long for an old teacher of ours as his baby and pet sitters, i don't know why he needs all three of us or why he needs us at all, but he recently came into a lot of money and is willing to pay us a fair amount for this. I'm not going to say no, and it's much better than my current job.

"Carly!" I can hear someone call my name from accross the road. "Carly, it's been too long?" I still can't see them, is this some annoying relative? 

"Oit, Carls! Join me at the stop would you?" I let out a long breath as I notice Meg standing at the bus stop.

"Sorry." I say as i cross the road to sit with her, "I thought you were my aunt Jean." 

"Right." She laughs at my lame excuse. "Well, how have you been? Did Zayn move out yet? This is the longest i've been away from you!" She gasps at the end, it's true, we're usually joined at the hip.

"Urm, yeah, Zayn moved out but I-" I'm interrupted by my phone going off indicating i have a new message.

"Is that Luke?" She asks as I unlock my phone. "He text me a few minutes ago telling me he was running late." 

That's why he's not here.

It's Zayn, I read the text to myself..

Hey, wassup? I'm stuck on my way to a photo shoot.

It surprises me he's up early enough, to be honest.

"Carly!" Meg snaps me back to reality. "Who was it?" She gestures towards my phone. 

"Oh, yeah it was Luke, lemme text him back." I tell her as i face the screen again to reply. I feel bad lying to her but i know she will freak out that i'm still in touch with him and then i'll break down and tell her everything, I don't want anyone knowing about the date yet. That probably wont last long, although I haven't seen any pictures of us together from the paps. 

Just heading to work with Meg, haha. Have fun at the photo shoot, bet you're tired! 

The bus pulls up within five minutes and we automatically head to our usual seats at the back.

That was the longest day at work, ever. I don't want to go back there after summer. 

Megan left earlier to go to a family party, so me and Luke have been walking around town for a bit, i brought Sol a birthday present too. A Katy Perry calender, i think he would marry her if he didn't have Megan.

"So how's that mate of yours?" He asks as we head down another street. His hand slips into mine so we're hand in hand, i don't pull back, we're like this. 

It's confusing to someone on the outside.

"Who?" I think i know who, and i'm pretty sure the boys don't like him.

"That Zayn fella" I laugh at his choice of words like he's just some guy down the pub.

"Yeah, he's good. Zayn's good." I tell him, "He left a while ago, back to his house." I say.

"About time." I hear him say quietly, not quiet enough.

"Luke, if you have a problem with him, be a man and tell me?" I stop walking and so does he.

"He's just weird, i mean he moved into your flat after knowing you for less that 24 hours." He shrugs, i hate it when people shrug.

"He had no choice." I remind him.
