Just Friends

Chapter 26

The kiss ended way before I wanted it to. We stood silently looking at each other before Zayn finally spoke.

"Perrie and Niall are waiting for us. We are going to go back to the hotel now."

I nodded my head once and turned to fix myself in the mirror quickly. My eyes were red and bloodshot from the crying. I took some deep breathes to compose myself and then smiled as best as I could and followed Zayn out the door.

"There you are babe. You ready to go?" Niall asked, taking my hand. I nodded my head instead of answering out loud ,just in case my voice would give me away if my eyes wouldn't.

They all wanted to go back to the hotel for drinks which I quickly agreed to. A drink was exactly what I needed due to the events of tonight's double date.

Since all of us except for Zayn was under 21, we had to drink in his room. Niall and I sat on the couch while Zayn and Perrie sat across from us in two chairs. They were all sipping on their drinks slowly and chatting away while I stayed quiet and practically gulped mine down in one swallow. I was going to feel this in the morning.

Four martinis later and I'm more than relaxed. It's crazy how a few drinks can just make all your problems slip away. I sat watching the three of them chat away, their words not registering in my head. Then I turned all my attention to Zayn. I watched hot his lips moved while he talked and how they curved up ever so slightly in a smile and he talked about something he found funny.

My eyes traveled up his jawline that was slightly covered in stubble and then to his brown eyes. They seemed lighter tonight, not as intense. And his laugh! So carefree and full of life. He was never like this around me, only her.

And as if on cue, Zayn leaned over to plant a soft kiss on Perrie's lips. Jealousy courses through me as I watched a smile appear on her lips after he pulled away. It made me sick.

"So Perrie, you must trust Zayn a lot while he is on tour." I said.

"Trust him?" She was confused.

"Yeah. I mean trust him to stay faithful."

Zayn's head turned sharply towards me, his eyes angry. The alcohol had given me a big dose of confidence, making me smirk back at his angry expression.

"Oh, of course I do. I know he wouldn't do that to me." She said, giving me a smile. I almost laughed at her oblivious response. If only she knew.

"You're very confident to do that. There is so much temptation when you are on the road like this. I wouldn't be able to do that."

Niall cleared his throat uncomfortably next to me. The everyone in the room was quiet now, not saying a work.

"Okay, I think it's time we get going. I'm tired." I said. Not that I was actually tired, I just wanted to get the hell out of this room.

"Good idea. It's getting pretty late. Thanks for the drinks guys! See ya." Niall said, taking my hand and leading me to the door.

"Yeah, bye guys. And nice meeting you Perrie." I said, giggling slightly.

"Oh god. Come on, let's get you to bed." Niall mumbled.

I was going to pay for this tomorrow.

------------ ZAYNS P.O.V.--------------

"Zayn are you sure-"

"Yes babe I'm sure. She was just drunk don't worry about it."

This was about the fifth time Perrie had asked me if I was cheating or not since Megan's little scene. She had drank way too much and practically ratted me out. I was furious.

"Okay. I guess it was just the alcohol talking. Oh well. I like her better sober." She said. I walked over and wrapped my arms around her, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

"Let's go to bed baby." I said, leading her to our bedroom. We changed into our pajamas and laid down, my body up against hers.

"Goodnight Zayn. I love you."

"I love you too."

I closed my eyes, ready to sleep, but I couldn't help but imagine Megan being the one I was sleeping next to.
