Chasing Ari (a 1D Fanfic )

Chapter 2:

**Niall's POV** 

"Then you're gonna want to make a left on Fifteenth," I say giving Zayn directions to my house. Unnecessary directions.

"For God sake Niall, I know where you live. I was there yesterday, lad! Stop trying to avoid the subject. Point of the matter is, She's a really nice girl, and you have to at least say 'hello'. Please." Zayn counters.

"Hello. " I say flattly. 

He groans, "Do you even know her name?"

"Why, of course, it's Ariel... or something like that." I lied. I knew good and well her name was Arianna, and I knew that I was tired of the boys setting me up with these random gils. 

Zayn sighed, "Are you nervous Niall?"

I scoffed, "No, not even. Well, maybe just a bit. " Distracting my self, I started towards the door, he must be getting close.

"Don't be, trust me. I've know her since we were children. She's actually really easy going."

I turn to lock my door just as he honked from the driveway. "I know I'm hot, but theres no need to honk at me, mate!" I holler at Zayn. 

"Just take it as a compliment," he winks as I step into the vehical. He hits the gas before I could even close the door fully. 'Payphone' by Maroon 5 was playing on the radio. I tap my fingers to the beat whilst Zayn and I sung along. I was a little relieved he decided to drop the Arianna thing. He wasn't smiling. (Let's face it, Zayn barely smiles, only when he's around Perrie.)

"Ughh, I miss her!" Zayn broke the silence drumming his hands on the steering wheel. Zayn was obviously talking about Perrie, his girlfriend, who was on tour, or with her family, or something or another. With the tour everything has beena little hectic lately. Even Liam and Lou barely ever got to see thier loves.  I had no idea what to say to comfort him. 

"Harry seems to be the only lucky one." Zayn sighed. He was right, Harry's "boo thang", Sydney, was a local girl. The paps haven't even found out much about her yet.

"You're depressing me, lad. Smile!" I said, pulling one cheek up making an awkward half-smile on his face. He shook his head free of my grip.

"Stop it, you're gonna make me hit someone's car!" He looked intently at the drive way that only gave enough room to snake past the other parked cars. 

"Hi, my name's Zayn and I can't drive and smile at the same time. I can't even smile." I mocked.

He laughed and gave me a cheeky grin, almost grazing someones side mirror.

"Okay, no more smiling. Its dangerous." I stated putting my hands on the dash board.

 He parked the car at the complete end of the driveway. The air around us was dark and damp, normal by Flroid'as standards.

"Are you worried someone's gonna park behind us?" I protest noticing the the other avalible spots he could've taken that wouldnt block us in.

"That's the point. We can't have you leaving early, now can we?" he says with a smirk hopping out of the car.

I shook my head. He was determined to set me up with this girl.

Zayn is a sly one I tell you. As sly as a fox.
