Zayn

"Zayn, I told you girls are into scruff. Stop shaving," Louis said as I walked out of the bathroom with a newly shaved face.

"Yeah, well Lainey isn't like every other girl, she might not like 'scruff'."

"I think its cute, or romantic, or whatever you wanna say, that Zayn is like this when he only talked to the girl for five minutes," Niall interjected, shrugging.

"Thank you, Niall. See I like Niall, Niall's cool. He's the only one that hasn't teased me about Lainey," I glared at the other boys.

Niall lifted his head high and smiled proudly like he accomplished the greatest thing,"I like you too Zayn. You're cool and I like your leather jackets."

"I like his hair its kind of like," Liam looked away from the video game he and Harry were playing and made an up motion with his hand toward his hair making a woosh sound.

"Thanks guys," I said joking yet sincere at the same time.

There was a knock on the door and an 'ow',"Hi Zayn, it's El and some mean lady," I heard another 'ow' as I walked to the door and opened it to reveal  El and Lainey standing there. Lainey was giggling and El was glaring at her rubbing her arm before they looked at me. And okay Lainey giggling was probably one of the cutest sounds I've heard and I wanna hear it all the time. I made eye contact with Lainey and she smiled shyly. Again, Lainey is really adorable.

"Zayn, are you gonna let them in or," I heard Harry call from behind me.

I snapped out of the trace I had been pulled into and stepped to the side. El kind of hopped in and Lainey walked in calmly looking at her friend.

"Can I sit," El pointed to where the boys were sitting.

"Yeah sure."

Liam and Harry moved around on the couch to make room for her before returning to the game and she instantly jumped into conversation with them.

I looked at Lainey the same time she turned to me,"Sorry she's," she paused thinking of the word,"Outgoing," she nodded liking the word.

"Yeah, so let's get to it then," she followed me to sit on the other couch that Niall and Louis were sitting on.

"So, it's been about a year for Zayn. What about you, Lainey," Louis turned to Lainey who gave him a confused expression.

"I mean he's been head over heals for you for like a year," he smiled at her innocently.

A deep shade of red found its place on her cheeks as she smiled sheepishly. I held back the urge to stare at her cute shyness and punched Louis,"Don't mind him. He's got a big mouth," I gave Louis a 'seriously?' face.

"It's been maybe three years."

[ Aw snap ! Zainey just got real. I had to throw some Ziall in there. I just felt like some Ziall was needed. Cause, guys, its Ziall.

And idk but the Louis smiling innocent thing made me think of the gif on the side. ]
