The Boy Next Door

Pinballed

Okay, so I had gotten used to the boys being there. Well, sort of. I still barged in, forgetting there were boys there. I still had to get used to walking in, screaming things at the top of my lungs, and have only Harry not look at me like I was insane. He did the same thing!

~~~

I was at my house, putting on my strapless, coral colored bikini top and matching bottoms. I added some water proof mascara and threw on a flowy white tank top. I ran over barefoot, just laughing about nothing.

Zayns POV:

I watched Bella run over from a window in my room. I felt kinda like a creeper, just staring at her. The wind was blowing her hair back, and she was laughing. Like a scene in a romantic movie, she was barefoot and wearing white. She looked beautiful. She was funny. She was nice, and fun to be with. 

I steeled up my courage. I would ask her out today.

Bellas POV:

I walked in the door, screaming," I"M HOME!" at the top of my lungs. Harry ran over and enveloped me in a huge bear hug. It was wierd. I still had feelings for Harry, and also tiny feelings for Zayn. 

~~~

"Would you like to go outu to dinner tonight?" Zayn asked me.

"I'll have to think about it," I responded.

When Zayn looked hurt that I hadn't immediately said yes, I just gave in.

"Sure! Sounds like fun!"

"YAY!" Zayn screamed and started doing this awkward jig around the pool. 

"Zayn! Did your trunks catch on fire?" Haz joked.

"nope! I have a date with a very special girly friend of ours!" Zayn nudged me, grinning.

Harrys POV:

Something was wrong. I forced a smile, took Zayns arm, and dragged him to behind the pool fence. 

"Zayn! Are you crazy?!"

He stepped back in shock, but collected himself pretty quickly. "What do you mean?" He asked quietly. 

"If you buy out the restaraunt, Bella will know that we're all pretty rich! And if you don't, well.... you know what happens then."

"We're not really going to a resteraunt, just kind of a cafe. I doubt the paps would expect us there of all places!"

"And you think that the cafe will be empty? If there is just one girl-"

Zayn cut me off. "I think you're just jelly! If you didn't want me to go out with her, you could have just told me that in the beginning!"

He stormed away before I could respond. This date was not going to end well.

Bellas POV:

I pulled out my phone and texted Jess.

To: Bestest bestie in the whole world! <3

I still think theyre hiding sometin from me :/

It was sad, really. When I moved, I had to say good bye to Jess, who was my best friends ever. Me and Jess Skyped whenever we could. I told her everything, and, next to telling him I like him, that's the only thing I've kept from Haz. He didn't know about Jess, and Jess had never seen him or met him in person.

Within seconds, I had a response:

That sucks, but guess what?! I'm a block away from you! ur mom sent me to  hang out w/ u! can i stay w/ u???

I grinned, scrambling to text back.

YESSS! COME OVER NOWWWW! Wait. actually i have a date ;) come over at like nine with ur stuff! I NEED TO C UR GORG FACE ASAP!
