Secrets [Zarry]

Journal

After two days of doing absolutely nothing, Harry was dreading having two classes on Thursday.

One in the morning, one in the evening.

His morning class was French, which he ended up really enjoying.

He left the class with a smile on his face, meeting Louis and Niall in their usual spot.

"Let's go get something to eat." Louis said.

"I'm not hungry." Harry said quietly.

"In the cafeteria?" Niall asked, making a face.

"No, Liam's apartment." Louis said.

"Why Liam's?" Niall frowned.

Harry looked at Louis.

"Liam said Zayn's mom is there cooking a huge lunch. Apparently she's the greatest chef to ever live. That's what Liam says. He wants us to come have some." Louis said.

"Wait isn't he the one who lives with Zayn?" Harry asked.

Louis and Niall looked at him, wondering why he suddenly sounded so excited.

".....Yeah. I just said that. Why?" Louis asked slowly.

Harry swallowed. "Uh, just for clarification. Let's go eat."

"You said you weren't hungry." Niall pointed out.

"I lied." Harry said, giving him a look to shut up.

Louis drove the three of them to Liam's apartment, and as soon as they were let inside they all groaned because of the good smells.

"Suddenly I'm starving." Niall said.

"Come on, everything's in the kitchen." Liam chuckled.

"C'mon sunshine, just a little more?" The woman at the stove asked, looking at Zayn.

He was sitting at the table, sat back in his chair with his hand over his stomach.

"Mom no I-" He stopped himself, looking at everyone as they walked in.

"I brought backup." Liam smiled, sitting back down and gesturing for everyone else to do so as well.

Harry sat between Niall and Louis, directly across from Zayn.

"Um, guys this is my mom." Zayn introduced.

"You boys can call me Trisha. Please eat all you want." She said, putting three more plates of food down on the table before giving them their own plates to fill.

"This is like a buffet." Louis commented, looking over the table of food.

"You and Liam would starve if it weren't for me." Trisha said to Zayn, kissing his cheek as she sat next to him.

"I told you we were going to go to the store, you didn't have to do all of this. Or our laundry. I'm an adult-"

"I know." Trisha smiled, pinching his cheek and leaning close to him.

"Mom, stop." Zayn said quietly, blushing.

Harry could've died it was so adorable.

"Zayn you're the only one protesting all of this." Liam said, piling more food on his plate.

"All of this is delicious." Niall said between bites.

"Eat all you want." Trisha smiled warmly.

"Are you not hungry sweetheart?" She asked, looking at Harry now.

Harry blinked, looking down and realizing his plate was still empty.
