After work, I picked up some pizza and pasta, then drove over to Liam's place and picked him up. He was dressed in a black button-up with black jeans and black boots.

"A lot of black," I noted when Liam sat in the front seat.

"I got it from you," Liam remarked.

"Never said it didn't look good," I replied with a smirk as I began to drive. "I could fuck the brains out of you right now."

"But you can't," Liam teased as he stuck his tongue out. "You have a guest over."

"So? We can do a quickie in the bathroom or something."

"Zayn, you're so impatient. He'll be gone in a couple of days, and I'm sure you can wait that long to have sex."

"A couple of days without sex? That's impossible! I'm gonna have to go over your house to do you."

Liam sighed as he rubbed his temples. "You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're kidding."

I shrugged. "Not really."

"Perv."

"Hey!" I exclaimed as I hit Liam's arm.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?"

"For calling me a perv."

"So what? It's only true," Liam said as he crossed his arms and lowered himself in his seat.

"You're so cute when you do that."

Liam furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Do what?"

"When you're being Liam."

Liam blushed as he hid his face in his hands. "Zayn!"

"You're cute when you blush, too."

"And you're cute when you're not talking."

"Meanie."

"At least I don't hit you when you call me a perv."

"I don't call you a perv to begin with, so . . ." I trailed off.

"Well, I don't act like a perv to begin with, so . . ."

"Damn, you're good."

"I know, I know. But you're not too bad yourself."

I chuckled as we entered my driveway. We got out of the car and into the house, and the first thing I saw was Niall sitting on the couch, his elbow on the armrest and his chin in his fist, sleeping away.

"Niall, I said if you wanted to rest to go into the guest bedroom. You didn't have to sleep on the couch," I sighed, feeling bad.

"No, it's alright, Zayn. I don't wanna be a burden. I didn't wanna take up too much space, so I just slept here."

I walked over to Niall and put a comforting hand over his shoulder. "You're not a burden. Like I said before, I'm doing this out of my own happiness."

"Thank you so much, Zayn. I really appreciate it."

"No need to say thank you, Niall." I looked over at Liam grinning from ear to ear as his eyes even looked happy. "Anyways, I want you to meet someone."

Niall got up from the couch and fixed the creases on his shirt. "Is this your boyfriend? Liam?" I nodded my head as Niall walked up to Liam and stuck his hand out in the air to shake. "Hi, Liam, nice to meet you. I'm Niall."

Liam immediately took Niall's hand in his and shook it. "Hi, Niall, it's nice to meet you, too."

I clapped my hands together and gestured to the food in my hands. "Who's hungry?"

"Ugh, I'm starving," Liam said as he touched his stomach.

"How about you, Ni?" I asked.

Niall simply nodded in a quick motion, as if shy by Liam's presence.

Liam lead Niall into the dining room as I set the food on the table. Though I was sort of nervous that the love of my life was going to interact with the man I previously loved, I was excited to see how it would all go down.
