YOU BELONG WITH ME • CHAPTER 9

***Dillon's P.O.V.***

"Louis! You can't just go up there and ask him! He'll know it was me and-"

"Hush and shush little one. Let your big brother take care of this."

Should I be scared?

I pulled the many garments back again for an opening and looked at Louis just waltz up there like it was nothing. Well, uh, newsflash Lou. IT IS!

I saw him aproach Zayn, make him put his mirror down, then he took him over so they were a little closer. I saw mouths moving, but I could barely make out what came out and I'm pretty sure Louis just said something about a pickle.

***Zayn's P.O.V.***

"Vas happening?" I asked, Lou's mouth forming a small smirk.

"So. We're going to put it like this. Say I heard from a little pickle that this girl fancies you. How'd you feel about it?"

"Louis, I'm going to stop you right there. Pickle? What kind of joke is this?" I snapped. Only Tomlinson over there could be clever enough to make this up.

"Just, how would you feel?"

"I guess, if she really knew me and wouldn't fan girl or whatever, I'd maybe have some feelings for her. Maybe can we talk about this when we're home or something mate. We're in the middle of the department store."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When we got back and dropped the girls off at their hotel, we came home to find Roslyn and Niall on the couch with Liam. Selena was posing in what I guessed was a new shirt. Thor was depicted on the front.

"You like superheroes too?" I saw Lou walk up to her.

"Yeah. I like Wonder Woman. She's my favorite."

"I like Superman."

Love at first sight, needless to say.

"Goin to my room." I yawned. "Tired."

After heading down the hallway and turning, I found my bunk and laid down, feeling a lump of my phone in my back pocket.

"Oh, hopefully I cracked the screen," I muttered pulling it out. I noticed the familiar app of SmileChat. That's where I met Dillon.

I signed in as ZAIN_MALIK. I remember that night I was dared to ask out this girl Penelope. Really ugly, but I had to be really seductive and stuff so she'd say yes. She was a nerd, really, and never wanted a boyfriend. So, she gave me her user that she spelled wrong and that's when I met DANCE_4_LIFE.

No one was online, but then, the bubbly tone came through, signaling a new message.

XPickle_PerrieX: Hey ZaYn. Nice username. You know me? I'm Perrie from little mix. I'm on the xfactor with ya babe.;D

I looked at the profile picture and instantly knew who she was. She was pretty cute and wait...PICKLE! Oh, Louis I see what you did there.

ZAIN_MALIK: Yeah my users a bit old isn't it? So...vas happenin cutie.

What was I doing? Letting myself sweet talk another contestant? Hadn't this already blown up in my face once with Rebecca? And Dillon...but...what if Dillon like me. She probably thinks of me as a friend, nothing more.

You know, Perrie Edwards was a pretty attractive girl. Maybe I should do myself a favor here and try NOT to focus on Dillon once.

XPickle_PerrieX: well aren't you a sweetie! Maybe we could hang out? Tonight r u free?

I looked at the clock. It was ten til five.

ZAIN_MALIK: Yeah. Maybe I can pic you up around six and go for dinner or something. I'll be knocking then. Better go get ready. MY HAIRS A TRAGEDY! :0

XPickle_PerrieX: Haha! Well....see ya then ZaYn. Baiii!

I signed out, strolling over to Liam's things and finding a nice white shirt and pairing it with my khaki's. I bet Lou would have some suspenders I could hand off the sides and with my black shoes, I'd be fine.

Lou popped his head in. "We're going for grub and a quick arcade session. Coming sleepy who's dressed at his best?"

"Nah. Got a date tonight."

Louis expression brightened up. "WITH WHO!"

"Perrie from Little Mix. You know, down on the first floor?"

He nodded, and went out, shaking his head a bit.

"By the way, thanks for the recommendation! Pickle!"

***Dillon's P.O.V.***

I heard the news straight from Lou's phone to mine that night. Right before we left, I got 'sick' in the bathroom, so Louis offered to stay behind and keep an eye on me while the others went.

"LOUIS!" I sobbed into his chest.

"I know sissy. It's hard. It kind of was a really convenient...slip up. I said I heard from a little pickle and let alone...Perrie's username is XPickle_PerrieX. Sorry?"

"Why pickle Louis?!"

"Because...Dillon. Get it DILL-on. Your named sounded like a dill pickle so I..."

"What are you? Niall in a Louis suit?! MY NAMES DILLON! NOT DILL!" I couldn't control my temper.

"Hush! I've never heard you this loud before. Come on, it'll be alright. Believe me."

I had no choice but to. But Perrie and Zayn? But...I mean...we were seriously alike.

But, I have seen Perrie. She's really extremely pretty. She can sing. She wears those tight little mini skirts and heels that if I wore, I'd break my neck in. What do I do? I'm a dancer who wears sweats and t-shirts. Sometimes the occasional dress if I'm at a competition. And if I hit a note like she did, glass would shatter and animal contorl would be called to find where a dying manatee was said to be. And I wear glasses.

So does Zayn, but he most likely won't around her. What did I have that Perrie didn't top it by ten times?
