Paint My Love

Chapter 6 : Does he know

Zayn's POV

'If our love was a fairy-tale

 I would rush in and rescue you

 On a yacht baby we would sail

 To an island where we'd say I do'

I was cleaning out thah shed place which was full of like old Sunday school stuff. I had my earphones on for company cause Gia wasn't here todah and I kinda miss her. Which is why I was listenin to old music, she seemed to like thah kinda stuff. Noht thah I didn't, the old stuff is the best and I mean I'm a 90's babeh, so yeah.

 I didn't even realize I was humming until someone tapped me on the shoulder.

 "Breathless?" she smiled and made my day.

 "Gia"

 "Hi"

 "I thought you weren't comin todeh"

 "Couldn't stay away"

 Wait, was she flirtin with meh?

 "Wanna share music?" she gave me one of her earphones and put the other in her ear which was tiny by the way.

'I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

 Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in

 Cause I got time while she got freedom

 Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even'

"Sing" she mouthed and I obliged.

'Her best days will be some of my worst

 She finally met a man that's gonna put her first'

I nudged her and she did the next line.

'While I'm wide awake she has no trouble sleepin

 Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even'

"Ok, ok now the chorus together" she was getting so excited I couldn't help but smile.

'What am I supposed to do

 When the best part of me was always you

 And what am I supposed to say

 When I'm all choked up but you're ok

 I'm falling to pieces yeah

 I'm falling to pieces'

We both instinctively screamed the last part and then we burst out laughing. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she is, kinda shy too. I liked thah since I'm noht the most confident person in the world.

"Oh Zayn I almost forgot"

 "Yeah babe?"

 "Uhm the reason I actually came out here was to invite you for this dinner and dance thing on Wednesday night"

 Ok was she asking meh out? Last time I'd checked she was a good Christian girl. And now she was actually considering cheating on her boyfriend; and she barely even knew me to be fair.

 "Uhhm" I didn't really know whah to seh.

 "It’s at the church and the Pastor said it'll count as community service" she went on. Oh ok now that made a little more sense.

 "Whah kinda dance?" I asked a bit weary cause I'm noht a good dancer at all.

 "Oh its just like slow dancing and mostly old people come anyway"

 "So if I come will I havta dance and like what will I do?" I asked.

 She took a moment to think about it and it was as if she was deciding whether she wanted me to go or not.

 "Just attend the function, it’s for charity. Anyway I did my duty and invited you, now its up to you"

 I was sensing a bit of annoyance on her part. Was she really asking meh out and I was makin it difficult?

 "Ok one more question" I held up my finger.

 "What?" she sighed.

 "Will you be there?"

 "Yeah...Dane and I will be there"

 "Ok I'll think about it"

 Shit! I had totally read too much into this. She was just doing what the pastor had said and asking meh. And here I was thinking I had a shot.

Gia's POV

"So is he comin, or going I should say, cause I'm noht" Priya asked again.

 "Hey I told you I don't know"

 "Well then ask him" she was getting more worked up about this than I was. In fact I didn't really care if he came or not...at least that's what I'd say if you'd asked meh.

 "Ok fine, I just texted him let's see whah he says"

 "Ok did you decide what you're gonna wear?" Priya asked getting up and walking to my wardrobe. She opened all three doors and then just stood there staring at my stuff.

 "I dunno, maybeh thah top you got meh last week" I said still lying on my bed on my tummy.

 "So you're gonna wear a skirt?" she started going through the hangers before I answered.

 "Wear a skirt, me? Never" I shook my head.

 "Well, you're definitely NOT wearing jeans" she said a hand on her hip.

 "But why?" I groaned and then picked up my phone which was vibrating violently.

 "Is it him?" she plopped herself down next to me and tried to see my phone which I was trying to pull away from her.

 "Just chill ok" I laughed and then turned to read Zayn's text.

 Z*Do you want me to come?? ;)*

 Was he fishing?

 G*Do you want me to want you to come?*

 Pretty lame I know, but let's just see whah he says.

 Z*If I say yes will you? :D*

 "So he's goin right?" Priya asked. Oh Priya I'd even forgotten she was here. Stupid Malik!

 "Yeah Pri he's coming. Now go find something else to do"
