Tell Me a Lie (On Hiatus)

Chapter 5

Five

*Zayn’s POV*

I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t leave her…not by herself. Besides, Harry would be able to sleep with his pillow tonight instead of dribbling on my shoulder. I sighed and turned off the lamp, holding her close to me like I used to do with my sisters when they had nightmares…except…she’s not my sister…and she hasn’t had a nightmare. However, she is the girl that I’m willing to risk myself for and I hope she’d give me her heart in exchange…someday.

“Zayn…” I heard a loud whisper and felt a couple nudges.

“Hm…” I muttered sleepily.

“C’mon Zayn, time to get up; you have to be in the studio by at least 9am, I don’t want you to be late!” I woke up to see a smiling Lorelei with a towel wrapped around her head wearing a red striped t-shirt with black skinny jeans holding my clothes and my hair wax, hairbrush and blow dryer. For two seconds I thought she was Louis.

“How’d you get that?” I asked in sudden surprise.

“I told Niall that you couldn’t sleep and accidentally fell asleep on the floor playing Mario Kart 64 last night,” she winked.

“You’re good…okay, I’ll go take a shower, wait, what time is it?” I asked quickly. 6:30, you’ve got an hour Malik, we’re going out for breakfast, so hurry!” She commanded.

“Okay, okay!” I laughed rolling out of bed.

I walked out the bathroom to see Lorelei with completely straight hair now, which is a little surprising having never seen her with straight hair until today.

“Wow, you’re looking very cute today!” I said kissing her lightly on the cheek. She blushed and rolled her eyes, I know she can’t resist me.

“Thank you, so do—oh god, you haven’t done your hair yet?!” She shrieked.

“Um…I was planning to…” I began but she quickly snatched the hair dryer, hair wax and brush from my hand.

“Sit over there,” She commanded harshly as I wanted to protest her, but there was something about that fire in her eyes that made me obey her.

She began applying the hair wax in my hair and then using the hairdryer and brush, brushing it upwards. I looked in the mirror making sure she didn’t make any mistakes, however, with every upwards motion she did with both the hairdryer and brush, she got it right.

“Maybe you should be a hairstylist,” I chuckled.

“Um…no thanks. I just do them as favors for people, y’know?” She said.

“Oh c’mon, you’re good, besides what do you want to be?” I asked curiously.

“A fashion designer,” She smirked shyly.

“So you like to draw?” I grinned.

“Oh, right, I’ve haven’t taken out my sketchbook yet!” She said while she finished fixing my hair.

“Can I see when you’re finished?” I puppy pouted at her.

“Of course you can, silly! And I’m already done!” She said laughing.

“Oh…wow. You did really great. Lou might get a little jealous…” I chuckled as her eyes widened.

“Oh no…she’s awesome! How’s she coming along?” She asked smiling widely.
