Chapter Eight: Gossip Time.

chapter 8 gossip time

Maja's POV

When me and Niall finally get back, he snuggles into me as we enter mine and Leo's apartment. The cold air left a mark on my cheeks, leaving them bright red and even though we spent the past half an hour in the warm car, my hands were red as well.

"Oh great!" Leoni cheers when she sees us; she's on her way to the kitchen, "I'm about to cook dinner." She smiles.

"Is Zayn still here?" Niall chirps in.

Leoni grins, "He's taking a shower. Do you want to stay over again today? We don't have to go to work tonight." She asks Niall and his response is instantly a 'yes'. I smile to myself because that means I will get to spend more time with him; honestly, he makes me so happy. I feel safe whenever I'm around him. It's magical.

Niall plants a kiss on my cheek and goes into the living room, where he makes himself feel at home, switching the TV on. I follow Leo into the kitchen and lean on the counter, facing her.

"So how was the date?" She smiled.

"Oh Leo, it was absolutely amazing! I'm not even kidding, he's such a great person y'know? He's a good listener and I just feel like I can be myself around him..."

"Gosh, cute alert, I repeat, cute alert!" We both laugh, "Where did he take you anyway?"

"He took me to an Irish pub!" I say, "Believe it or not but the Irish people in there were actually so damn nice, y'know? And then we went to the park and may I just add that he kissed me again? As in, fully, properly kissed me! Leo, it was amazing!"

"Do you like him?"

"I think, no, wait, I know I do!"

She hugs the life out of me and I know that she's happy for me. I have the biggest smile on my face.

"And how was your day?"

Leoni looks down at the ground and blushes, "It was quite good..."

"Leo!"

"We had, you know... I lost my..." She says in a shushed voice.

"No way!" I beam.

She looks up at me and nods, smiling.

"That's so amazing!" This time it's me who hugs her, so happy for the way her relationship with Zayn is going.

"He's such a sweetheart! And then we just watched movies and he kept whispering things about his, you know, little member to me, it was quite disturbing actually." She laughs.

"How big was it?" I ask, feeling as immature as ever but we both laugh.

"Bigger than a really big carrot." She chuckles.

I see Zayn walk into the kitchen and I blush scarlet. Gosh. I really shouldn't have said that. Oh my! What if he heard...

"Hi Zayn..." I look down at my feet and cover my mouth. I watch Leo and Zayn from the corner of my eye.

"A carrot, eh?" He asks while standing behind her, whispering into her ear.

I turn around, feeling as awkward as ever, wishing that I never asked the question. Gosh, how embarrassing. Never again.

"Thanks for asking Maja, looks like she didn't really look at it from the way she's comparing it to a carrot, right boo?"

"Too much information, alert, too much information!" I laugh and walk out of the kitchen, throwing myself on the couch right next to Niall where I cuddle close to him. He's like a teddy bear. I'm not even joking.
