CHAPTER ELEVEN: NOBODY COMPARES
“Smile for the camera.” Zayn whispers in my ear.
I tried my best to flash the paparazzi a real-looking smile but it proved to be difficult since Zayn was holding onto my waist like a real pervert while he had his game face on.
I never really liked players to begin with… they’re just too cocky and overconfident.
“How long have you been dating in secret?” I heard an interviewer say.
“Just recently” I managed to answer.
“Actually, we’ve been together since middle school but then her family had to move someplace else and we all know that long distance can be quite challenging, right?” Zayn replied.
God, he’s making stuff up again…
“And how do the other members of One Direction feel about this?”
“Oh, they support our relationship very much. Saying stuff like, we’re a match made in heaven and all.” He smirked at me.
“Some fans don’t think that you guys are really in love because of your lack of public display of affection, what do you say about that?”
Uh-oh.
I looked up at Zayn, signaling him to say something.
“Uh, I don’t think that love can be measured through how much public display of affection we are showing…” He stated.
Phew, that was close.
I’m sweating like a pig here.
“And the four other members of One Direction just arrived on the red carpet.” One of the reporters said.
“But if our PDA is the only thing wrong then…” Zayn added as he lowered his face to mine and kisses me full on the lips out of nowhere!
It took me a minute or two to process what was going on and then I realized that I had to respond to his kiss in order to make it look ‘real’ as I heard more flashes of cameras coming our way.
So awkward… kissing him back!
This is probably my first time responding to a kiss.
Good thing we both pulled away at the same time with my heart beating loud enough for the whole world to hear.
I am so not used to this…
*NIALL’S POV*
“Hey man, where’s your girlfriend?” I asked Zayn as soon as the five of us sat down in the audience.
I bet we’re going to win lots of music awards tonight!
“Off to somewhere, I guess.” He replied like a real ass.
Unbelievable!
How could he not care about not being by Cher’s side at all times?!
I have a feeling that he’s just playing with her emotions like kissing her in public earlier which really ticked me off.
I mean, how could he?!
“I’m going to piss.” I got up and hurried outside to find the restroom.
Just then, I heard someone sobbing pretty loudly in the girl’s comfort room so I went in anyway, curious of who was crying.
There was only one stall occupied and so I decided to lock the main door before some other girl comes in and accuses me of being a pervert.
“What are you doing, mate?” Louis stopped me just in time before I could close the door and got in the girl’s restroom as well.
“Uh, nothing in particular” I responded.
“Are you trying to get it on with a girl right in here?!” Louis accused me.
“No! Did you see me bringing any date with us? I just came in here to check on a girl who’s crying…” I pointed at the stall where I could only see the girl’s shoes from the bottom.
“Okay, I got this. Lock the door, will you?” Louis ordered.
“Hey miss! Are you alright in there?” He started asking while I locked the main door of the restroom.
There was no answer but the sobbing stopped and then Louis got impatient so he stuck his head to the bottom of the stall to take a peek at the girl.
“Cher?!” He practically shrieked out her name.
“What are you doing in there?” This alarmed me.
Was she crying because Zayn kissed her?!
“Come out now or else… I’ll come in there through the hole!” Louis threatened.
“Fine!” She finally opened the door.
“What happened?!” I rushed in front of her inside of the cubicle where she was sitting.
“Nothing, I’m okay.” Damn, she looks so pretty even when crying!
“No, you’re not.” Louis crossed his arms behind me.
“Goodbye, I have to go back inside now. My manager just sent me a text that I’ll be receiving an award for tonight.” She got up, wiped her eyes with her handkerchief and then hurried right out.
“Wait…” Why was she crying, exactly?! I want to know!
“Come on, let’s go after her… I mean, we have to go back too.” Louis coughed.
*LOUIS’ POV*
“And the winner for the artist of the year award goes to… CHER LLOYD!” Everyone started clapping their hands as Cher stood up from her seat then walked up the stage.
She was wearing a black flowing dress which had see-through sleeves that showed her tattoos in both arms… really cool.
No one ever looks so good in a dress and it hurts because I know that she won’t be mine tonight!
No one ever makes me feel like you do, when you smile, baby tell me how to make it right…
I wonder why she was crying so beautifully in the ladies' room.
At the corner of my eye, I noticed that Liam’s eyes were glued on her as well.
Well, apparently, all eyes were on her but since I was seated beside Liam, I could sense that he was staring rather intently on Cher with a concentrated focus like nothing else in the room even mattered…
“What?” He caught me staring at him for a while and gave an annoyed look.
“Haha.” I just smiled at the guy like I always do for him not to get mad at me.
Boy, he's scary.
