New Guy

Chapter 19

"Can you please show me where room A17 is..?" A guy asks me, tapping my shoulder.

"Uh, yeah, sure.. I'm Nicola.. What's your name?"

He winks at me and gives me a cheeky half smile.

"I'm just the new guy, baby."

Liam's POV:

I've been looking at Nicola from the front seat for almost the whole trip to make sure she's alright.

She's been asleep for a while now, nodding in and out of consciousness every few minutes.

Okay, I'm only half telling the truth. I'm watching her to make sure she's okay and I'm watching her because I can.

She smiles in her sleep and her eyes open a little.

"Are.. Are we home yet?"

"Not yet, baby. Soon," Zayn says with a smile.

"You smell nice, Zayn.." She whispers, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"I try my hardest," He replies with a wink. We laugh a little as he turns onto his street.

Nicola said she doesn't want to go back home because she's still kind of paranoid so she's staying with Zayn for a while.

We hop out of the car and walk inside. Zayn's sister has friends over so we can't sit in the lounge room.

"Nice shirt, Nicola.." Waliyha says, seeing that she's wearing her brother's shirt.

"I know. Your brother smells good," Nicola replies with a wink, causing Waliyha to become embarrassed.

We laugh and we walk upstairs to Zayn's room. When we get inside, Nicola opens a drawer and takes out a book.

"You certainly know your way around," I point out, noticing how she found exactly what she wanted.

"What are y- Oh, go ahead," Zayn says when he sees what Nicola is holding.

She grabs a pencil and starts sketching something inside the book. I guess she found Zayn's drawing book.

Wow, they're both really talented at drawing.. I've always known Zayn could but..

I snap out of my daze, noticing Nicola is staring at me. As soon as I notice her and move, she keeps drawing.

In a few minutes, she turns the book around and gives me a bright smile. On the page is an amazing drawing of me. Wow.

Looks quite realistic. The sketching is perfect and all the pencil strokes are in the right place and look great.

"Wow. I didn't know you could draw like that.." I say and Zayn turns around to look.

"You drew that by yourself?" Zayn asks. Obviously he didn't know she was that good either.

"Well who else could have helped me..?" She asks, a cheeky smile on her face.

"You're really good!" Zayn says happily and high fives her.

"I'm going to draw Styles! Can I have a piece of printer paper?" She says with a grin on her face.

About 30 seconds later she tells us she's done and shows us the paper. On it is a winking stick figure with curly hair.

We laugh before Zayn stops and notices something. "Why is it winking..?"

"Because he's a flirt," she answers, laughing a little.

"Only around you.." I mumble to Zayn and he smiles.
