Zayn Malik's Long Lost Sister (Unedited)

8. A Guys Name

Edward walked me back to the main office. I dried up some under the blazing sun and the long walk, but my clothes were still very wet. We pushed past the front door, and I expected to see Martin, but he wasn't there again. We walked to the back supply room where almost everything important is and Edward went over to the lockers. I never brought clothes or other belongings that needed a locker. I usually stuff my bag under things.

Edward pulled the lock up and opened the little door, pulling out a deep-sea-blue work shirt and pants. He expected me to fit in it? I mean, he isn't fat or anything, but he wasn't just skinny either. His muscles were pretty big and his hard-looking core always had a baggy shirt adorned over it. And his pants? Ugh.

"You expect me to fit your clothes? They'll be too big on me." I protested when he turned towards me and offered the material.

"It's better than wearing wet salty water clothes."

"We work in a marine park, if you haven't noticed." I pointed out.

"Normal people bring extra clothes to a job like this, if you haven't noticed." He shot back.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Get out."

"Just hurry and change."

He left the supply room and shut the door behind him, but I heard his foot steps stop right outside of the door. He was waiting.

I took off my shirt and pants, shivering once at the fact I was standing half naked at work.

I quickly slipped Edward's pants on, searching his locker for a belt.

Voices started up on the other side of the door. It sounded like the vet was discussing something with Edward in a hurried tone.

"Marley, hurry, we need something in there." Edward said, knocking on the door.

I quickly pulled the belt through the loops on the pants, trying to buckle it as tight as it could go so nothing would be falling down, but Edward spoke up again.

"I'm coming in, I won't look. Doc needs something."

I didn't say anything as I finally got the buckle to be tightened, then I huffed, "Fine."

The door opened and I bent over to pick up the shirt. I mean I didn't have much shame, but it was just the fact that he was a guy I barely knew.

"Holy shit, owch."

I looked up to see Edward's eyes were on me as I straightened to pull the shirt over my head. "You pervert, you said you wouldn't look!"

His face flushed red and he picked up a smaller machine with wires coming out of it, looking away from me. "I-I'm sorry. It's just, Donnie couldn't have done that to you, right? Unless you bruise fast and easy-"

"Edward!" Doc yelled. We all called him 'Doc' because he requested it for the only reason being that he sounds important, but his real name is Shane. He rushed in after peeking around the door frame and rushed inside to take the machine Edward held, his light brown hair bouncing lusciously with each hurried step and his dark brown eyes darting around for anything he could possibly need. He was handsome, for someone in their mid-thirties.

"Sorry!" Edward called to Doc who scurried out of the door.

I pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail, holding it with the wet hair tie around my wrist. "What's that thing for?" I asked when I was finished.

"Doc thinks Martha is in labor. It's kind of like an ultrasound machine. The baby seal will come up on the screen." He explained.

Martha is the pregnant seal we have been watching over. She hasn't been doing very well in her pregnancy but hopefully that will change after giving birth to her pup.
