Toxic

Chapter 17

Zayn's pov.

-

"'Cause I'm a fool for you.

And the things you do."

"I'm busy." I had been on the phone with Barbara for way too long by now. Her constant nagging was getting on my last nerve and I could feel the irritation growing inside me.

I shut the computer in my office off for tonight and glanced at the clock as Barbara kept talking on the other line.

8.45 pm.

"I just want to see you! It seems like you're not even interested anymore!" She almost shouted now, so loud that I quickly removed the phone from my ear and hissed in pain.

"Bloody hell" I mumbled lowly in anger before placing it back between my head and shoulder as I tried carrying a few folders and my briefcase.

I had almost stopped listening to her but she didn't seem to notice yet how unresponsive I was.

"You're fine with sleeping with me but having dinner is too much for you?! You're the biggest dick I've ever come across! You hear that, Zayn?" Her voice was so loud and high-pitched which it got when she was furious.

Why did I have to start this with her? Oh yeah, she's great in bed.

"We're basically a couple so why wont you say it? I can't believe you!" She continued on.

What was she even mad about this time? It was hard to keep track of it nowadays since she always picks a fight, whenever she can.

"I don't fucking have time for this, call me for the makeup-sex" I barked before hanging up on her and stepping into the elevator.

I knew my grave was being dug as of this second but I didn't even care anymore. I could feel my whole body being on fire of anger.

I pressed the button and started going down to the ground floor where Bill was waiting for me in the car.

I needed a drink, and that was fast.

It was Liam's last night in New York before he flies back home so we decided to go all out, all of us.

When Niall wanted to go to Light I was hesitant, another girl who'd expect too much of me. I hadn't seen Mila since we had dinner, which was probably over a week ago, but I know she's probably moping around just waiting for me to call her.

Well that could be fun...

Having women around my little finger was kind of my thing.

Me and Bill said hello as I got in the backseat and then he started driving towards Light. This night could get really amusing after all.

I felt my phone vibrating and I saw a lot of missed calls from none other than Barbara, along with several texts. Angry texts might I add.

I merely just shrugged before switching my phone off and placing it back in my front pocket.

I need her to feel like she's lost me, otherwise she'll never calm down, and that is something I just can't deal with anymore.

When arriving at the bar I told Bill he could go home for the night and then I stepped in to look for my friends.

It didn't take long to find them, they were sitting at a lounge area in a corner of the bar with a tray of shots and a couple beers.

I smiled as I went over to them, "Hey guys"
