Zayn's POV

"Wh-what?" I asked, with my back facing her. I was scared that if I turned around, my face would reveal everything. I was chewing on my lip by now, my nerves getting worse and worse.

"Why didn't you let me tell Liam?" she asked again, looking up at me.

Come on brain, think of a good excuse.

Geez, why can't I be as good at Niall at this?

"I haven't told him," I said, a little shakily, boldly turning around.

"Told him what?" she said, looking up at me.

Don't. Look. Into. Those. Eyes.

"About...that day," I said, biting my lip.

"Elaborate," she said simply.

Was she buying it?

Please be buying it.

"See, me and Liam are...best friends. I tell him everything. Literally, everything,"

First sentence of mine tonight that wasn't a lie.

"And...well, I forgot to mention our little meeting," I said slowly, making it up along the way.

I was praying that I didn't look like I was lying.

"And I thought...that if you told him...he might be mad at me,"

"Why would he be mad at you?" she asked, looking slightly perplexed.

I looked down, "Because we tell each other everything," I finished, sighing softly.

"Well, all I know is that Liam would be crazy to be mad at you," she said, giving me a bright smile.

I looked up and our eyes met.

"You seem like a good guy Zayn," she said sweetly.

That was the first time she'd said my name.

I loved the way she said it.

"You seem like a great girl Mel," I said, returning her smile.

And that most definitely was not a lie.

Something about her changed a little. It was like she...stiffened a bit. 

"You should tell him though," she said practically, shifting in her seat.

"I will when I get the chance to," I lied.

"Good," she said, giving me a small but breathtaking smile.

"Zayn, are you making the drinks in there or something?!" shouted Niall from outside.

We both laughed.

I looked at her. 

It'd be hard, you know, being around her and stuff, but I'd give it a shot. For Liam.

And that doesn't mean I can't be friends with her, right?

Emily's POV

"Well, the thing is, you're both stubborn idiots," chuckled Louis.
