Chapter 13 ~ Woah

Dedicated to _Mrs__Malik_ because she's a great motivation for me and she's just the best.

Zayn's Pov

"Okay, so where are the friends?" I questioned again. Lou gestured to behind me.

"Behind you." he stated and I turned around to see a girl.

"Oh..uh..hi.." I trailed off. This is awkward.

"Hi...I'm Jacqueline bu-" she started off but the first girl interrupted.

"But you can call her Jackie." she finished Jackie's sentence "So what's your name?" she asked me. Where does Lou find these girls?

"Oh..uh I'm-" I was interrupted by a sound in the kitchen.

"Ouch!" another girl with curly hair says "Stupid counter. Oi, Ziana they have Oreos!" she yells to her friend.

"Give me some!" the girl named Ziana went to go stand by their friend.

"Hey, those are mine!!" Lou yells from my side.

"Caring is sharing!" she sang. He rolled his eyes.

"So what no-" the girl turned around. Wow. Where does he find them? "Oh...um..hi" she waved awkwardly. I chuckled at her adorableness.

"Introduce yourself." Lou whispered to me, smirking. I stepped closer to her.

"Oh, um, Malik, Zayn Malik." I winked at her. She blushed, putting a strand of her curly hair behind her ear.

"Mariah." she said and looked at the floor.

"You're beauti-"

"Okay, Zayn, my name is Zia, nice to meet you!" Zia chirped. Is this girl always this happy? I smiled at her anyways.

"Come on, lets go watch a movie or something." Lou said from the kitchen's doorway. Ziana skipped out, following Lou and Jackie. Okay this is my chance. Say something smart, funny, don't ruin it Zayn.

"Are your curls natural?" I blurted. Are your curls natural? Really thats all you could think of? Great, now she probably thinks I'm a weirdo.

"Um...ya?" she looked at something behind me and pointed at it.

"What?" I ask.

"Uh, they're waiting for us." she said amused.

"Oh..um..ya...let's go." I stuttered. She walked out of the kitchen and I said planted to the floor. I shook my head before joining following Mariah.

We walked in to see Jackie and Liam watching tv while Lou and Zia talked by the stairs. Mariah went to go join her friend on the couch, I was going to follow but Lou stopped me.

"Are your curls natural? Really? Come on, Zayn you're a natural at flirting." he said. I sighed.

"I know...I just..." I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.

"Seriously, though that was hilarious, dude." the girl laughed, Lou joining her.

"Not funny." I huffed.

"Oh it was funny, alright." Lou snickered.

"Whatever." I said. Ziana left to join her friends.

"Where's Harry?" Lou asked from beside me.

"He went home." I stated, glancing over at the couch to see Mariah laughing at something Liam said.

"Calm down, dude." he notice my tightened fists "Why'd he leave?" he asked again.

"Something to do with his mom, I don't know." I stared at them on the couch.

"Okay...." he trailed off before walking away to them with me soon copying his actions.

I sat between to Mariah and Ziana and listened to the conversation her and Liam were having.

"Do something, you idiot." Ziana said. Her and Lou smirking beside me.

"Umm...Mariah?" she turned and smiled. I lost my breath for a second before opening my mouth to speak only to be interrupted.

"Hey why don't we play a game!" Louis was a dead man.

"Sure, what game?" Mariah asked smiling at him.

"How about..." he ran off into the kitchen and came back with a water bottle "It's a combination of spin the bottle and 21 questions." he smiled.

"What?!" Zia gave him a confused look.

"Okay, so when the bottle lands on you the person who span it asks you a question, got it?" he sat of the floor, soon we all joined and created a circle. Sitting in the following order left to right: Lou, Liam, Ziana, Mariah, Jackie and me.

"Okay, so who goes first?" Liam asks.

"I volunteer as tribute!" Ziana snickered. And span the bottle that landed on Jackie. "Uhh...first boyfriend?"

"Don't remember." she shrugged, before spinning the bottle. It went on for a while until Lou had to ask me a question.

"Prettiest girl in the room?" he asked innocently. Yup, he's dead.

"Mariah." I winked at her and span the bottle. Please please please...YESS! It landed on her. "Any boyfriend?" I asked trying to mask the nervousness. She shook her head.

"I'm a single pringle." she smiled taking her turn again.

After the long game, the girls decided it would be best to head home, so we were going to walk them to their houses.

We arrived at Ziana's house first. As the rest of them talked I took this as a chance to talk to Mariah.

"Hey Mariah?" I said.

"Ya?" she asked. Okay don't mess this up.

"I was...um..wondering if you are busy on Friday?" I asked.

"Um..I don't think I have any plans." she said nervously.

"Would you like to hang out or something?" I asked matching her.nervousness.

"Sure." she played with her fingers.

"Okay, cool can I borrow your phone?" I asked. She nodded taking her phone out. I typed my number in and saved it in her contacts. Even sent myself a text to make sure.

"Okay here," I handed her phone back and smiled at the screen. "See you on Friday." I said as we started our own ways. I smiled the way home that day.
