Zayn Malik's Long Lost Sister (Unedited)

7. He Still Likes Me More

I wrapped my arms around my torso, floating around and holding my breath as best I could while all I wanted to do was hiss out in pain. I would've preferred willingly jumping in the tank with a whale who would do unknown things, instead of having Donnie's nose pierce my most tender spot.

I heard my name being yelled, muffled through the depth of water. I was a few feet under and haven't been submerged for more than half a minute yet. Okay, maybe......now. Half a minute now. When I opened my eyes, I was expecting to see Donnie in front of me since I'm facing the way of the platform I was thrown off of, but he wasn't there. I began to kick my legs to power myself upward without using my hands, but something nudged into my back and stop me from going up and instead pushed me forward.

Freaking out a bit, I continued to kick until the object pushing my back went between my thighs, opening my legs around something massive. My head came out of the water first and when I looked around, I was sitting just before Donnie's dorsal fin while he swam with me on top of him.

"Marley..?" Edward called while we past him.

I couldn't help the hysterical laugh that escaped past my lips. I was freaked out yet absolutely in awe. This was Martin's Marine Park's most rogue and dangerous sea creature we had in captivity, but now we were playing in his tank.

My hands came up to the top of his head as I rubbed hard, making sure he could feel the love coming from the gesture.

"I thought you said he wouldn't like if someone were to invade his territory?" I called out to Edward, looking his way as Donnie circled the perimeter of his tank.

"I bet he likes me more now since I'm the one giving him his space." Edward teased.

"Highly doubt it! Jump in and see what he does." I tested, smirking.

"I'm good over here."

I leaned over the side of Donnie, sliding off his back and diving down as low as I could until he started to circle around me. I didn't even touch the ground yet. I twirled in circles, watching Donnie circle me as I smiled. My breath was running short and I stroked my way to the surface to get some air, then I felt something touch my feet. I knew this trick. I seen that mean lady Frances do this with the trained whales. I stiffened my legs and let Donnie push me forward, my front facing his body. I felt my body emerge from the waters surface and he continued to push me around the tank with my back facing the way we were going until he suddenly stopped and dived down, leaving me in front of Edward.

"Hi." I said shyly, not sure how else to go at it after being dropped off by a whale.

"C'mon. We should tell Martin what kind of progress your boyfriend here has made." Edward bent at the waist and offered me his hand.

Truthfully, I wanted to mischievously pull him in but I wouldn't know how Donnie would react to another person being in his tank. So I took Edward's hand and allowed him to pull me up on to the watered surface.

A humming came from behind me and I turned to see Donnie's mouth wide open, waiting for a treat.

"No," I said, crossing my arms and turning away from him. "You hurt me."

Donnie shrieked in protest that I turned away from him, then he powered himself out of the water and on to the watered platform where he laid to the side of me, tail and head high in the air, continuing to make the high pitched noise. He was posing.

"Wow." Edward whistled, checking out Donnie.

"Beastiality is illegal." I mumbled.

"That's gross."

"I know, right? So stop checking out my whale."

"Your whale?"

"Yeah," I picked a fish out of the bucket, walking over to where Donnie had his mouth open. "You may have stayed out of his water, but he still likes me more."

I reached into his mouth and rubbed his weird-feeling tongue before tossing the fish into his mouth.

"We'll see about that." Edward challenged, walking over to Donnie with a hand slowly lifting to pet him.

Donnie made a huffing noise and scooted away from Edward's touch and scurried his way back into the water deep enough for him.

"Well, that was embarrassing." Edward mumbled, turning back to where Donnie's head was peeking out of the water. "Thanks for helping me get the girl." Edward said sarcastically.

Donnie replied by making an amused sound, his mouth juttering open as he looked to be laughing. I tossed him the last fish for rejecting Edward, it was quite funny.

"'Get the girl'?" I asked lamely.

"It's usually what happens in movies." Edward quickly explained, scratching the back of his neck with his shoulders lifting in a shrug. "Wanna get changed? Your soaked."

"I don't have extra-"

"I do. C'mon." Edward said, picking up his shoes and mine, along with my apron. I grabbed the bucket that was only now containing ice and followed him to the yellow metal 'No Entry' gate that made this part of the park restricted to just anyone.

"Doesn't your outfits have your name stitched into it?"

"Yeah."

"People are gonna wonder why on earth I have your clothes."

"So? Let them. It's none of their business." Edward said, smiling a crooked smile.

"My boyfriend is gonna be jealous." I tutted, shaking my head. "He'll eat you alive."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a boyfriend." Edward said, his face turning down. Probably in worry for himself.

"Yes, you did." He gave me a confused look. "Donnie's my boyfriend, remember?" I joked, causing us both to laugh out loud.

"You have a lovely smile. It's reminds me of someone my sister absolutely adores."

"Really?" I asked, to which he nodded. "Who?"

"This guy from a band."

I froze internally, my legs carelessly walking me along side Edward. "What's the bands name?"

"One Direction. My sister is the one who loves hacking into security cameras and all that. She even made a club for the Directioners like her."

"What's the name of the band member that I smile like?"

"Uh, I can't remember."

Okay, so this information doesn't mean anything. Smiles can look alike, it was just a coincidence.

"He smiles with his tongue sticking out on the sides from between his teeth a little, you do the same. He's the pretty boy one. Uh," Edward snapped his fingers, looking as if the name is right at the tip of his- "Zayn! Zayn Malik." He laughed.

Ahh, shit.
