Tell Me a Lie (On Hiatus)

Chapter 4

Four

Lorelei’s POV:

I heard girls gasping at Zayn’s gesture of wrapping one of his arms around me. This isn’t good, I thought to myself, but I keep walking and smiling and waving as Dad walks behind us with the other two bodyguards, Andy and Eric laughing their heads off. Dad must have noticed, but I don’t think he minds. Oh great. We entered and the fangirl in there reminded me so much of…Lailani!?!

“Surprise!” Dad said with a wide smile.

“Lailani!!!” I pulled away from Zayn and share an embrace with her.

“Look at you! You look gorgeous!” She squealed then looked up and sees Zayn and her eyes widen and mouth drops.

“Good God it’s Zayn Malik…”

“Hi there, you must be the infamous, Lani!” He chuckled as he extended a hand.

“Infamous…oh my god. I’d totally scream right now, but I’m not, ‘cause you and my best friend are like…but oh my god. I can’t even think straight,” She dramatically placed her palm against her forehead and starts breathing heavily as Zayn raised his eyebrow at her.

“She’s quite the character…” He whispered.

“Yeah, just wait ‘til our sleep over later, no, you’re not invited,” I whispered back as he pouted.

“So let’s go eat, yeah?” Lani said rubbing her growling stomach.

“Alright, that way you can be properly introduced to everyone!” I said smiling.

“OF COURSE!” She winked and nudged me, dragging me ahead as I leave Zayn the dust. I turn around and mouth out “Sorry” as he nodded in approval with a smirk.

We sat in the far back VIP section, Lani’s big brown eyes eagerly waiting for the guys to sit by us.

“Lani, please try not to get lolo around them, they’ve literally dealt with screaming fangirls all day,” I whispered to her.

“Oh, you know me, I’ll be fine,” She winked at me as I roll my eyes. Zayn sat across from me along with Louis and Harry and Eleanor.

“The infamous Larry Stylinson!” She whispered to me.

I face palmed. “Lani…please…”

“So did you know I wrote a fanfic for my English class about you two? Lorelei had to read Harry’s part because she does the best impression…although it sounds a little y’know Irish, but she tries!” She blurted out as I sink in my seat, my cheeks turning a beet red as the four of them chuckled.

“Oh, do tell,” Eleanor scooted in her chair closer, her brown eyes widen with fascination of the topic.

“Oh gosh, well, nothing sexual, but they were just like best friends at birth and soon they fall for each other. It was so funny cause I made Lorelei, Kanu, Maki, and Yovie dress up as well—you know.” Niall, Liam, and Danielle are the last to sit and overhear this, and Niall’s laugh echoed through the place.

“That’s bloody hilarious!” He said trying to compose himself.

“Yeah...” I muttered feeling like I was going to die.

“But really, Lei and I have been best friends since…preschool, but I promised just one embarrassing story of her,” She grinned nudging me in the ribs.

Zayn chuckled and exchanged an apologetic look to me, causing me to roll my eyes and try not to make eye contact with him and thus that’s what happened for the rest of the dinner.
