You're All I Need

Two

It had been a week since Zayn had taken me on our romantic date.

All that kept playing over in my mind was taking our relationship to the next level. I knew I wanted my first time to be with Zayn, but was I really ready?

My mum and dad kept asking when I would invite Zayn round to our house so that they could formally meet him. I wasn't sure if either of us were ready for that. Especially because my dad is very protective and I know he would pester Zayn to make sure he was 'suitable' for me.

I had just got dressed after my shower when Josh knocked on my door.

"Rose, can I come in?"

"Yeah" Josh has always been super protective over me. I guess he got it from my dad. Through my life Josh has had to stick up for me a lot. He is 21 and whenever someone upset me during school, he would always go and 'talk to them'. Sometimes this was true, it was only talking, but other times he would do a lot more than talking.

There was one boy called Dean who made up a rumour about me when I was 16. He was two years older than me and we had met at a party. It was my best friends, Laura's, party that she was hosting with her older brother, Harvey. It was held at their house and they had both invited a bunch of friends each. I had always thought that Harvey's friend Dean was one of gods greatest creations. He was to die for. He had a nice tan and dark brown hair. His height loomed over me and he had quite a perfect body. I worshipped him. Whenever I went round Laura's house and Dean was there, I would always be super conscious of myself. I would constantly check my hair and face, just to make sure that I didn't look like an idiot.

It was getting a bit out of hand when we played spin the bottle. It was his turn and it landed on me. We kissed and even after the game had ended, a few more kisses were shared. We had moved into one of the bedrooms upstairs and he kind of forced himself on me. Luckily, one of my best friends walked in before anything happened.

However, Dean didn't tell everyone the full story. He told everyone that I had had sex with him. So the rumour spread around the entire school and everyone would always make comments, whether they were behind my back or to my face. So when Josh found out, he got back at Dean. By 'got back' I mean Dean had walked into Josh's hand a few times.

"Are you okay?" were his first words to me.

"Yeah... why?"

"Umm... I just want to talk to you"

"About what?" Josh would always want to just 'have a talk' with me, so I didn't think anything of it. He always took care of me and made sure I was feeling okay.

"Dad." He sighed as he took a seat on my bed as I stood by my tv.

"Okay... what about him?"

"He kinda.. he... He's worried about you."

"Why? I'm fine."

"I think it's just because he's over protective, you know how he is.'' He took a deep breath before continuing ''But he doesn't want you to keep seeing Zayn." my head snapped up to look at Josh.

"Okay, why? He doesn't know him."

"You know what he's like." He repeated.

"But I don't understand. He's only met Zayn once."

"Whoever you dated Dad would be dubious of. It's just natural. But Zayn doesn't exactly look like a 'good guy' either does he?" he said while making quotation marks around the words good guy. He was right, Zayn wasn't the typical looking so called good guy. He had quite a few tattoos which covered almost every inch of his smooth skin. It was difficult to find a space on him where there wasn't a layer of ink drawn onto him.
