CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Anna’s Point-of-View
“I’ll have the… Pesto Chicken Penne.” I said handing Harry the menu.
“Oh and a basket of garlic bread.” I added.
“I’ll have the burger, spaghetti, chicken, milkshake-“
“And for short, he’ll have everything on the menu.” Louis said cutting Niall off of midsentence.
“Why do you always have to do that?” Niall snorted.
As they continued to argue, everyone in the table watched them with joy. Well… except for me and Zayn. We’ve been avoiding each other for 3 weeks now. As much as I wanted to talk things through with Zayn, I can’t bring myself to it. It’s too… awkward.
As for Perrie and Austin… they suddenly vanished out of thin air. In all of the people’s eyes, their engagement was still on. Little Mix had been on a 2 months break since Perrie’s disappearance. And for One Direction and me, we went back on tour, as usual.
Shortly our food arrived. I must say that all the food we ordered can’t really fit in our table. Most of it was Niall’s, as usual.
“You’re breath’s gonna stink after you eat all that garlic bread.” Harry poked my side.
I smirked, “It’s not like you’re going to kiss me after we eat, yeah?”
My eyes widened as soon as I realized what I just said. I took my fork and started eating.
I can feel Zayn’s stares at me throughout our dinner. He even tried to play footsies with me but I brought up my feet and rested them on Harry’s lap.
Talk about awkward.
I plopped down onto my bed. The dinner was too much to bear, although it was fun seeing them arguing most of the dinner. Lou was there with her baby which kind of took away my attention from-
“Anna?” speaking of the devil, I looked up to see Zayn standing by my door.
I have got to start locking my door more often.
“Uh… hehe… what’s up Zaynoo?” I tried sounding cool but failed, EPICLY FAILED.
He smiled weakly as he closed the door, walked to my bed and sat next to me, “About what happened weeks ago… I’m sorry.”
“Oh. No big deal. I knew you were just upset and-“
“I didn’t kiss you because I was upset.” He said looking at his fingers. “I’ve been wanting to do that to you since… since we went to the carnival after Anne’s wedding.”
I gulped, “What do you mean?”
“The reason why I didn’t mind Perrie cheating on me because I’ve been cheating on her too… with you.”
My eyes widened to what I just heard, “Not technically ‘cheating’ on her physically with you but emotionally. What I mean- I just- I’m in love with you, Anna.”
I was about to say something when Zayn grabbed my chin and kissed me. Once again the fireworks had erupted. He kissed with more passion than the last time.
Suddenly it all made sense, I liked Zayn too. I didn’t love him but… I liked him, a lot.
I started kissing him back. My hands went up around his neck as one of them played with his hair while his hands found their way on my back rubbing small circles to it. I pushed him back towards my bed, laying him down gently. I placed both my legs on each side of him.
