Wanted

Chapter 5- Friends?

I went inside to guest bedroom to find Kimberly and my sister watching reruns of Gossip Girl they immediately shot up when I got in the room "So anything you wanna tell us?" Kimberly said while pausing the show. My sister grabbed my pretzels and gave me her you better tell the truth look because you're already caught look, "Fine, Zayn and I made out in an elevator and it was pretty amazing I'm not gonna lie. It was like...I don't even know how to describe it." "Like Fifty Shades of Gray or Grey's Anatomy kiss." Kimberly asked, it took me a while "Fifty shades of Gray, I doubt Meredith Grey would do what we did in the elevator." I grabbed my pretzels back from my sister and sighed, "Oh no...I know that sigh, that's the 'I really like him but don't want to admit' it sigh." Allison said "Yes Allison, because you know me like the back of your hand." I un paused the show and continued watching "You're right Aria, I do know you like the back of my hand because I love you and you're my sister and I think you should the guy a chance." I looked at my sister and thought about it, maybe I do need someone to share my life with and since my sister forgot the damn dog it's just me. "I think you should too, I mean I know he's a womanizer but if you have a bad feeling just leave, but going on 2 dates won't kill you." Kimberly said. I hate to admit it but they were right, my sister handed me my phone and told me to call Zayn I grabbed the phone and dialed.

Zayn and I agreed to go the Lakers game since he had court side tickets, I put my Kobe jersey on and a black pair of shorts with my red converse. I heard someone ring the doorbell and I went downstairs to see Zayn on the my camera system, he was wearing a Kobe jersey also, I opened the door and he smiling so hard it probably lit up the room but he had that type of smile that makes you smile "Either that kiss connected us or we just have amazing taste." I locked the door "We just have amazing taste." He stopped for a minute "What are you doing? we're gonna be late." I pointed to my watch but he just stood there "You know I've always wanted to drive a Range Rover." He looked at my Range and smirked "Oh no no no, you're not driving my car that's my child." He laughed "Come on just for 5 minutes." I threw him the keys "Fine! but here are the rules, don't touch my radio, don't touch my Beyoncé CD, and don't change the position of my seat got it?" He unlocked my car "Yes m'am." We got in the car and Zayn looked like a little kid in a candy store he kept to caressing the wheel like it was JLo's booty. "Umm hellloooo earth to Zayn." I snapped my fingers in Zayn's face and he started the engine. I turned up the radio to Rihanna, it took us about 30 minutes to get to the Staples center LA traffic.

Zayn bought some nachos and we shared, the Lakers were down by 10 the only person that could save them was Kobe but he's retired. "PASS THE BALL YOU IDIOT!!" I was screaming at the top of my lungs Zayn was watching me the whole time and not even watching the game. "Dude the game is on the court not my face." he smiled "I know, I know I just didn't know you like sports." "I love sports don't take me to a football game unless you want to get smacked in the face." he leaned in "I wouldn't mind you smacking my face." a chill ran down my spine and then the crowd went wild I look up at the Jumbo tron and me and Zayn were on the kiss cam. I giggled and Zayn grabbed by face and planted a big one on my lips, the crowd went wild. We pulled away and immediately my phone went of and it was a text from Allison and Kimberly were blowing up my phone with texts and phone calls, I locked my phone and put in my back pocket. Nick Young scored a couple of 3 pointers and the Lakers won the game, we got up from the seats I was ready to go but Zayn was talking to Drake yes, as in Drake the rapper. Zayn signaled me to come over, I walked over and Zayn held my hand "This is my girlfriend Aria Gomez she's the CEO of Lactose." I was so nervous I couldn't even yell at Zayn for calling me his girlfriend. "Oh you're the famous Gomez, I've been meaning to set up a meeting with you just to talk business." Zayn tapped my back for me to come back to earth "Yea, sure, no problem, I'll just have my people contact your people." We exchanged contact information and went our separate ways, "I didn't know you knew Drake." He put his arm around me while we walked "Oh darling there's a lot you don't know about me."

We got in the car and Zayn wanted to drive, so I got in the passengers side and turned down the radio "I'm not not your girlfriend btw." he ignored me so I tapped his shoulder, he just chuckled "I heard you." Zayn said while rolling his eyes "Well I'm not your girlfriend, this was just a friendly date."   Zayn pulled over the car and park "Yea just a friendly date that ended with a make out session and a business deal. When are you going finally admit it that you like me but you're scared because someone hurt you, that's why you like to take control in relationships because if you have more control then you're less likely to get hurt. Am I right?" It's like he read me like an open book, he started the car and we were silent all the way home.

We pulled up to the driveway and opened the garage door, we got out of the car and went into the house. I left Zayn in the living room and went up to my room, I just sat on my bed and thought about what Zayn said and he was right, I did like to feel more in control of my relationships so I wouldn't get hurt. I heard a knock on my door "Come in." Zayn came in with his eyes closed "Are you decent?" he closed the door behind him "You can open your eyes." he opened his eyes and sat next me "I just wanted to apologize for what I said earlier, I didn't mean to disrespect you like that." he grabbed my hand "No, you're fine I think I needed to hear that." I got up to go take a shower "You can make yourself at home I'm gonna go take a shower." "Ooo can I join you?" he got up and walked towards me, I stopped him "Don't push it." I went into the restroom got undressed and got in the shower, I stood and let the hot water massage my muscles. I was really surprised that I didn't lock the door and he could just walk right in the bathroom. I turned off the shower and grabbed my towel. I put on my robe and my PINK slippers, I got out of my bathroom and Zayn was laying on my bed and watching ESPN, I sat next to him and started typing on my laptop. He turned around and shut my laptop close."Do you ever stop working?" I opened up my laptop "For your information I was going to shop online." I went on H&M.Com and looked at some purses and other things. We both were either focused on the TV or my laptop, it was silent but it was a comfortable silence. I put down my laptop "We should watch a movie." Zayn was flipping through the channels looking for a movie for us to watch. "Its already 10 o'clock Zayn I have to go work tomorrow." "Ooooh come on babe, please just one movie please! please!" He was begging me with puppy dog eyes. "Ugh fine but just one movie and that's it." He put on Finding Dory on Netflix and we watched. Zayn put his arm around me and I put my shoulder on his head, my sister texted saying she's staying at Kimberly's house. "Do have snacks?" "I have better." I grabbed and his hand and took him downstairs, I dragged him into the kitchen and open my snack pantry, It had sour patch, Skittles, Chips A'Hoy, Cheez-itz, Whip cream, chocolate covered strawberries, Kool-aid, Caprisun, Starbursts, Gummy Bears, Hot fries, and much more. "Wow this is amazing." I laughed "I know when I was younger I always dreamed of having a snack pantry, so as soon as I brought this house this was the first thing I did, stock this up." Zayn was acting like a kid in a candy store. He grabbed all the different types of snacks, we went back up to the room and changed the movie to Fast and Furious 7  next thing you know everything went black.
