CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: BITCHIN' SUMMER

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: BITCHIN' SUMMER

*CHER'S POV*

I surprisingly got up earlier than Zayn the next morning... or maybe he just wakes up way later than I usually do.

"Hey," I poked him in the face.

"Do you want some coffee?" I asked even though I sucked at making one.

"Hmm..." He grunted then covered his face with the sheets.

Just when I'm trying to be nice...

"Okay then, suit yourself. No coffee for you." I was about to walk away when he grabs my arm.

"I don't want any coffee. I just want you..." He then attempted to give me a morning smooch which I managed to dodge in time.

"Whoa. What are you trying to do, Malik? Don't you think this is crossing the line?" I backed away from the bed.

"Uh, let's see... crossing the line for me would be having sex with you last night... which didn't happen so yeah, I think we're good." He smiled.

How could I forget that he's the second biggest flirt in One Direction?

Must've slipped my mind when he rescued me from the heavy rain last night...

"Um, I think we should head back home already. I've already got like fifty missed calls from my manager and another fifty plus from Louis and Niall... each." I sighed heavily.

"Hold on, Louis is calling me right now. Hello?" He answered his beeping phone.

"Oh, you want a video chat? Okay."

Um, I personally DO NOT think that a video chat is such a good idea right now.

"Whoa, dude. What happened to you? You look like you just woke up from having sex last night or something... with the sexy messy hair and all." I could hear Louis shout through the loud speaker.

"What? This is what I normally look like in the morning... and to answer your question, Cher happened." Zayn tilted his phone in my direction.

"Oh my God! I knew it! You guys were together all along! Hang in there Cher and do not, I repeat, DO NOT have any kind of sexual contact with Zayn without me in there, I mean—-" Louis made a big deal about it.

THAT sounded so wrong in so many different levels.

"You don't have to come pick us up, we're going home anyway." Zayn finally got off from his phone right after saying that.

******

"What is this, Lloyd? Right after the 'Hemmings' incident, another scandal pops up with you and Zayn Malik freshly coming out from a motel early in the morning?! Why can't you steer away from trouble like a normal popstar?" Marshall yelled at me.

Well, it wasn't THAT early... and trouble ALWAYS seem to find me but I'm starting to get fed up of all the paparazzi snooping around me and my personal business.

"But we're JUST friends." Are we?

"Tell that to the press or better yet, come up with an idea that can get rid of all this." He stated and then his phone rings.

"Hello? Yeah, I see. Uh-huh. Okay, thanks. I will. Bye. That was Cowell..." He announced right after the call.

Uh-oh. What did he suggest for me to do this time?

"You're going on an early summer vacation with One Direction where the media wouldn't find you while we release a 'JUST FRIENDS' article concerning you and the group."
