"Hello?" I said gruffly, yawning afterwards. There was a constant shuffling on the other end, and I considered hanging up, until it finally came clear.
"Delaney," Zayn sighed in relief, "I've been calling you for two hours, why haven't you been answering?"
"Well, I've been asleep the whole time, and I've also chose to ignore everyone, preferably you and Niall." I said flatly.
"Delaney, I'm sorry for acting the way I did earlier. I don't know why, but I was just angry about what you did with Niall after what we did today." He said.
"Zayn, you were angry at me and ignored me for hugging Liam." I pointed out. He sighed. "I know. I'm sorry I've been such a dick." He apologised.
"Good."
"Am I forgiven?"
I thought about prolonging it, but I'm not that mean. "Yeah, you're forgiven."
"Can I come over?" he asked. I looked at the time. "I guess. Cami went with some friends to hang out for the weekend, so I'm by myself."
"I'll be over in 20." He said. I said goodbye and hung up.
I looked in the mirror and grimaced. My hair was out of my rubber band and in a giant puff ball. I brushed it out and put it in a bun, splashing cold water onto my face. I brushed my teeth and climbed back into bed, playing on my phone.
There was a knock at the door. "It's open." I called. The door opened, Zayn walking inside. "Hey Laney."
"Hey Zayn." I greeted. He walked over and gave me a tight hug, which I returned. He sat down at the foot of my bed, crossing his legs.
"So, whatcha wanna do?" I asked. He shrugged. "I brought some movies, maybe we can watch them." He offered. I smiled. "Cool, what did you bring?"
He pulled out 3 movies. "I've got Frozen, Catching Fire, and Scar Face."
"You got Frozen?" I smiled. He laughed. "Yeah, I figured you'd want to watch it."
"I love that movie, throw it here." I said. He threw the movie to me, I grabbed my laptop and put the disc in. I scooted over patting the spot next to me. He took off his boots and jogged over, sitting beside me. I set the laptop on our legs and pressed play.
I won't lie, I bought the soundtrack of Frozen. It's just such a fantastic movie. I love how different it is from all the other Disney movies. It shows us that a sisters love is stronger than any love there is, that you don't always need a man to save you. And the songs are just really cute to me.
"For the first time in forever, there'll be music, there'll be light." I sang softly. I continued to sing to the movie, when I felt Zayn's stare.
"Sorry." I mumbled, closing my mouth. He smiled. "I don't mind." He shrugged. I felt the apples of my cheeks warm up.
"Well, continue." he urged. I chuckled nervously. "No, you're listening now."
He smirked. "You sound really good."
I rolled my eyes playfully. "No I don't."
He shifted over turning to face me. "Yeah you do." I looked over at him, smiling softly, then looked back at the screen. "Alrighty then."
We watched all the movies, busting our guts at Scar Face. Once we finished the movies, we were laughing to hard to breathe.
"I love that movie." Zayn sighed, wiping his flushed face. I giggled, clutching my sides. "I love it when they're arguing." Zayn puffs his chest up. "You don't got nothing to do with your life. Why don't you get a job. Work with lepers, blind kids. Anything's gotta be better than lying around all day waiting for me to fuck you." He quoted.
"Don't toot your horn, honey. You're not that good." I replied, bursting with laughter. He leaned over, our laughter echoing throughout the room. After a few more minutes, we finally calmed down. I leaned back against the wall, sighing. "I haven't laughed that hard in a long time."
He leaned on his elbow next to me. "Why's that?"
I shook my head. "I'm not boring you tonight." He nudged my leg. "I'm never bored with you."
I rolled my eyes, smiling. "My family's just fucked up, that's all. I lived with my dad when my parents divorced, then when my dad died in a car accident two years ago, my mum and step dad adopted me and flew me from Ireland to England and changed my last name to Irwin. I use to live with my two half brothers and my step brother, Ashton, until he came to study here and then later on me. I was happy to leave, my step dad's a prick."
"What are your brothers names?" he asked. "David and Tyler."
"How old are they?"
"5. They're twins." I said, crossing my legs. He smiled. "They sound like a handful."
"Oh, they are." I whistled. He laughed. "So you and Ashton are step siblings?"
"Yeah, but he's basically my real one. Him and his friends have been older brothers to me, I've known then half of my life."
"Yeah, Ashton's a cool guy."
"So, tell me about your family." I said. He sighed. "Alrighty, um.. I have three sisters, Doniya, Waliyha, and Safaa. My father is Yaser and my mum is Patricia and they currently live in Bradford, England."
"How old are you?" I asked. "21." He said. "What about you, you never said."
"19."
"Young one." He laughed. I pushed his shoulder. "You're old, you can't talk."
We continued laughing. Zayn is really fun to hang out with, he's just so light hearted, his exterior doesn't really make him look that way, but he really is fun to be with.
"So, Delaney." He started, scratching the duvet lightly, watching his fingers. I nodded. "Yep?"
"Would it be a bad idea if I asked you to out out with me tomorrow night?" he asked, looking up at me with a raised eyebrow. I bit the inside of my cheek.
"In what way?" I asked. He shrugged. "That's for you to decide."
I pondered with the idea. "Sure, I'll go. I'll decide the way as we go on, though." I said. He nodded, smiling. "That's good enough for me. Dress nice, though. It's a surprise."
I pouted. "Why does it have to be a surprise?"
He pouted back. "Because I made it one." I rolled my eyes. "Ok sir. I'll see you tomorrow night, what time?"
"7. Be ready." He winked.
"Ok, I will. You heading out?" I asked. He nodded, standing up. "7 pm." He confirmed, putting his boots on. I nodded. "7 pm. See you then." I waved. He waved back, closing the door behind him. I smiled, leaning back. I closed my eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.
