You Were Always The One / z.m [au]

Chapter 8

PEARL

Thumps entered the house and a sound of a whistle came in too.

Zayn is here.

I can't stay in my room for 3 days.I need food from the kitchen downstairs.I don't have a bathroom in my room so I need to do my business outside of the room.

But hey,maybe I'll get along with Zayn.As friends and we'll probably come up with something as FRIENDS.

I fixed my make up a bit,just to show a little sophistication in me.Once I was done with my mascara,I headed down the stairs.

My hands were gripping on the railings using much force after seeing his face again.I sent him a grin as he,didn't send back any expressions at all.

"Hi Zayn." I greeted.

"Oh.Well,I thought I'll be alone here for 3 days."

"Come on,I wouldn't run away again to another country and come back,regretting my mistake.Plus,I don't trust you being alone in this house." I chuckled.

"Fine." he said.

His shoulder hit my shoulder as he walked passed by me.He didn't apologise at all.He was obviously pissed off about the fact he'll be with me for 3 straight days.

I scoffed,"What an asshole." I thought to myself.

But it didn't stop me.I don't want to be living this relationship with my "brother-in-law"(Perrie and I basically are sisters without blood lmao)

I chased him up and gripped on his striped shirt.

"Zayn."

"What?" Our eyes met but his,looked like they were in steaming hot madness.

"Let's do something fun."

"What fun?"

"Hmmmm..let's make dinner together!"

"I'm not hungry." He turned away but again,I gripped back on him.

"Come on.Please?"

His eyes met my pleading eyes and nodded,"Okay."

I jumped in excitement.

PAGE BREAK

"Does this chicken remind you back in college you threw one at me?" I asked with a grin.

"Just shut up and cook." he mumbled.

He is still in this terrible mood that led me to fade my smile.He continued to wash the dishes.All I heard was the clinging of glasses and stuff.

"Zayn,why are you upset with me?"

He didn't answer me.

"Zayn,please tell me why you're so upset with me." I plead.

"Let's not talk about that." He said.

"But please,you'll be treating me like this forever if you don't tell me how you really feel.We can work it out and lead a normal friendship."

Zayn chuckled,"Friendship?"

"F-Friendship.What's wrong?" I said.

Zayn turned his muscular body facing me.Our eyes met.

"So the kiss we just had was nothing?" He asked.

My heart beats got on a higher speed.

"I mean,the kiss was something.It's just,look,you're engaged now so I think we should just go on with a good friendship."

"I know why Perrie proposed okay." he continued,"I got her pregnant.I saw the test you threw in the rubbish bin back in the beach house."

The guilt in me rises up.

"But,I know who I clearly want to be with already." He said.

It sent shivers down my spine.It felt good to hear it but I knew it was wrong for him to say it when he is engaged.

Zayn leaned down to my height and sent a peck on my lips.I literally wanted to shove his face to mine and kiss him hard asking him for love bites- but,I knew what was wrong.I just couldn't think of what was wrong during our first kiss.I was so selfish.

"Pearl,I love you." he said.

"M-Me too." I stuttered.
