chapter seven

The loud sound of my phone ringing woke me, us, up. I tried to sit up but an arm around my waist made it hard for me to do so. I groaned, turning around in his grip and realising Zayn and I had fallen asleep, spooning together. "Z." I groaned, tickling his waist so his grip loosened and I could grab my phone. 

Once the annoying ringing thing was in my hand Zayn wrapped his arm around my waist again, making me smile.

"Lily." I said when I finally decided to pick up the phone.

"Where are you, it's seven thirty, we would have dinner at seven with the fam." Harry spoke through the phone. "What? Is it that late already?" I said, trying to sit up again but Zayn just tightened his grip, smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at him and focussed on Harry.

"Where are you? Want me to come pick you up?" He said. I widened my eyes, "No, uhm, I'll be there in like fifteen minutes. Just start eating I'll be there soon enough." I said. Harry said goodbye and then he hung up. 

I laid my head down and against Zayn chest. How did we get in to this position and why was it not weird, just comfortable. "So." I said, looking up at him to see he was already looking at me. He just smiled, making me smile back at him.

"I need to leave, if you didn't hear that already." I laughed, sitting up and him letting me this time. "Thanks for helping with my homework and giving me a nice place to nap." I laughed, taking a hand through my hair. "Of course," Zayn said, sitting up as well. "Haven't had such a good nap in years." He winked, making me shake my head and smile.

I got up and walked over to his closet, to which a mirror was attached. I fixed my make-up, since my mascara had slightly smudged on to my cheek. Then I fixed my hair again, the curls looking rather rough.

Suddenly two arms slipped around my waist, making me turn around. "I really need to leave." I laughed, my finger tracing the tattoo's on his arm. "When will I see you again?" He said, dropping his arms so I could walk away and grab my phone.

"Soon, I promise." I smiled, walking over to the middle of the room since he was still standing there. "Thanks again." I said, giving him a hug. His arms wrapped around my waist and he picked me up slightly so my feet lost the floor, making me giggle. "Anytime." He said, spinning around before putting me back down on the floor. He then took my hand and walked over to his bedroom door. 

We walked down the stairs, hands still loosely intertwined. The hallway and the connected dining room were filled with people. Some of them staring at us, others not caring about it. 

"Alright, bye." I said after Zayn had opened the door and I had walked out. "Bye." He smiled. I turned around and walked away, starting my stroll to the frat house my brother and friends were at. We had decided to all have dinner together tonight, but I was stupid and had forgotten.

After a ten minute walk I walked up to the house and before I could even knock on the door, it already opened, revealing Harry and Liam. "Where were you?" Liam asked whilst I raised my eyebrow and brushed past him. "Hello to you too." I said, rolling my eyes and sitting down on one of the still empty chairs. 

"So what took you so long?" Niall asked, taking another bite of food. Ali handed me a plate and I got some salad on to it. "I was studying." I replied, taking a bite of the food. "Well not in your dorm because when we picked up Camilla you weren't there." Liam said, sitting back down next to Camilla and grabbing his plate.

"I was just at a classmate's." I replied, not making any eye contact. Things were good how they were going now, pretty good. I didn't need me being friends, or more, with Zayn to go and mess everything up. 

We sat in silence as I just listened to the conversations and eating my food. Most of them had already finished eating when I arrived. Then my phone buzzed and I picked it up to see who I got a notification from.
