"You're seriously going to go to dinner with him?"

Zayn just hummed in response as he stood in front of the body length mirror in his bedroom, fixing the diamond earrings his mother randomly gifted him. "It's been two months since I last saw him, Bels. I think one dinner with him won't hurt." He chuckled and glanced at his best friend through the reflection, spotting her roll her eyes. After coming home from getting some snacks he was craving, he immediately told bella about bumping into Liam and their plans for tonight. Of course, she wasn't quite thrilled about it, but she couldn't say much since, in the end, it was still the pregnant man's decision.

"You do realize this is toxic behavior, right?"

Zayn sighed. "I- I know. I just miss being around him. Look, he hasn't hurt me since we started having sex and now it's been two months and seeing him again – I just can't help myself." He said honestly and chewed his lip anxiously. "You can hate him all you want, but that won't change my mind."

"You're so gullible." Bella sighed dramatically and shook her head with a disapproving hum. "But fine, do whatever. If he hurts you though, I'm going to kill him." She warmed and got off the bed, earning a protesting growl from Rover.

"Okay Isabella." Zayn chuckled teasingly, earning a glare from the young woman. He watched her walk out and went back to getting ready for tonight. Just thinking about being with Liam caused his heart to race and his mind to spin a little. It felt like high school all over again – before the entire drama happened.

He heard the elevator from downstairs and voices, making him look towards the door. He narrowed his brows, glancing at his dogs before walking out and spotting Liam standing near the lift and talking to Bella. His breath slightly hitched when he saw the older man. Liam was wearing an all black suit with his hair styled into a quiff. His beard looked nice and trimmed, his pearly white teeth flashing as he smiled. The smile though disappeared seconds later when Bella closed up on him, making him walk backwards until he was pressed up against the wall.

That was when Zayn realized she was threatening the brunet, considering he could see the fear in his chocolate brown eyes. He rolled his eyes and grabbed his phone before finally heading downstairs to safe the older lad, smiling when he walked up to them. "Hi Liam." He greeted him softly and gave his best friend a look, signaling her that she could leave.

Bella looked at Zayn and glared at Liam after. She walked up to him. "Be careful." She whispered and kissed his cheek, finally making her way towards the lounging area to leave the two alone.

"Sorry about that." Zayn chuckled and bit his lip. "She's just very overprotective since – you know..." he trailed off awkwardly, the brunet nodding his head.

"Y- Yeah, didn't think she was capable of doing that." Liam chuckled while clearing his throat. "You look beautiful, by the way." He said after finally getting a better look at the pregnant boy.

"Thank you. You look good too." Zayn giggled.

"You ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." He replied and linked his arms with his old high school crush, the two stepping into the open elevator.

"Have him back by eleven!" They heard Bella yell from the living room, causing them both to chuckle.

"Don't take that seriously please." Zayn shook his head and leaned against Liam's arm, the heavy doors sliding close. They rode down to the lobby and got into the car that was waiting for them, both nervous men getting driven towards their destination.
