I'm with the Boy Next Door

20 Questions

I'm BACK! Sooooo... here's chapter 2. :))

~~~

"Hey, did you miss me?"

"Nick!" I shouted teary eyed. I didn't really care if my voice filled the bookstore. All I really cared about at this moment is that my big brother is back. I pulled him to the side, in the non-fiction aisle, so we can talk.

"What are you doing here?"

"Visiting and most especially to give my baby sister a warm hug."

I punched him in the shoulder for sounding so cheesy.

"You know how I hate it when you sound cheesy. It makes me want to puke." I explained and made gagging noises.

"Puke all you want. I'm here to stay." he says while patting my head.

"So..." he said as he searched around the bookstore. I began to feel confused, so I asked him what he is searching for. 

"Whatcha lookin' for?" I asked sounding like a kid.

"Where's Zayn?" answering me with a question.

"He's not the one who told you I'm here?" sounding confused.

"He did. I just thought he followed me."

He caught eye on the book I'm holding. So, I told him that I'll just pay and we can go look for Zayn.

"No, I'll pay for it. I know you have no money especially today's summer." He replied.

I gave the book to him with a little push. "Fine, fine. At least I wouldn't be the one waiting in line and paying." emphazing the word "paying".

"You're still lazy and cheap as ever." him annoying me.

"Yeah, yeah," pointing to my top "WHATEVER!" He just smirked at me. He really wants me to be annoyed. "Can you just pay it now?" I said in a bitchy tone.

"Sure, Your Highness." bowing to me. 

"Go Sir Nicksalot!" I commanded trying not to laugh. He just raised an eyebrow at me, making me burst in to laughter. "Go Nicksalot." I commanded again and he walks slowly to the line, looking back and forth at me to make me laugh.

I went outside the bookstore and waited for Nick. Out in the distance, I could see one black haired teenage boy talking to a long haired, petite blonde. And when I looked closely, it became clear to me that its Zayn with some freaking gorgeous teenage blonde.

I felt a pang of hurt in my chest. I don't know why, maybe its because Zayn's with a girl that is not me and I'm not used to it. They were FREAKING laughing! I could clearly see that the girls trying to flirt with him. Its clearly obvious that Zayn's not interested. That's what my mind says.

My nose flared unvoluntarily and I cursed under my breath. Now, I feel guilty for walking away from him with his money. It was his fault for laughing at me!

I sighed. What is taking Nick so long to pay one book in a short line to the counter?

I turned to my right. He was there! He was FREAKING THERE, smiling wickedly at me!

"WHAT!?" I asked angrily.

"You're jealous. Aren't you?" he asked smirking.

"What? Why would I be jealous? Its not like I like like him. Because its obvious, literally obvious, that I, Kim, don't and will ever like like Zayn. It will be awkward if I like like him." I nervously replied emphasizing  the second "like".

"Uh huh..." nodding, "Keep saying that to yourself" smirking at me. "C'mon, lets approached them." He grabbed my right arm and dragged me to Zayn and the blonde chick.

"And just so you know, I think he has no interest in her." he said nonchalantly.

That line actually made me smile. A smile which can creep out little children.

"See you're smiling again." 

"Oh, shut up!" trying to hide my smile.

We reached them and the chick left. I greeted Zayn and eyed the chick. The last thing I heard the chick say is "call me" and then patted Zayn's hand.

"Oh, Zayn. You're new girlfriend.?" I jokingly say eventhough it breaks my heart into pieces.

"Actually, no. 'Coz I'm still waiting for this girl in school who I've been crushing on since first grade. Though, I think she's dense "

"Oh. I guess that girl must be very lucky then, huh?." I forced myself to smile through the pain that I am feeling.

"She is. Oh, if only you know her like I do. You two will definitely get along. You two might even be twins for all I know. Okay... Lets line up for the cinema, eh?"

"Ha-ha, twins." I said with sarcasm while rolling my eyes. "Fine, c'mon!"

I can't explain how I am feeling. The movie's freaking amazing and Scarlett Johansson's super duper sexy. I'll definitely watch it again in the cinemas.

Zayn was also amazed. If only you saw him, he was really into the movie and keep whispering to me "amazing". I laugh when he says that because I always remember "amaZAYN". When I ask him something inside the cinema, he would cover my mouth and shush me.

As for my brother, he left and went home. He said he was tired and wanted to sleep because that will make him fully charged. I can sense though that he is lying because he stretched while yawning and bit his lower lip. I know him to well that when he lip bites, he is lying. He only wants me to be left alone with Zayn.

I perked my head up with the sudden call of my name.

"Yeah?"

"Would you like to play 20 questions?"

"With you?" 

"Oh Hell no! With the strangers around us. Duh!" he says with sarcasm.

"Now you're shitting me." 

"'Coz, well, it was literally obvious that you'll be playing with me."

"Fine, fine. Who would be the one to answer and the one to ask?"

"How about I ask and you answer?"

"Okay? Go on."

"What am I to you?"

I feel like I've been shocked by a joy buzzer. I practically jumped. I first looked at my hands and then his chin because I can't look him in the eye. Then stare at the child eating ice cream near the fountain with her mother. I practice what I will say. When I can't find the right words, I just said what my conscience says.

"You know you're a good guy and every girl would be happy to be in your arms but, you're really just my best friend." I lied.

"You wouldn't be jealous or be mad if I asked another girl out?"

"No! Of course, no." I immediately answer.

"Then, What will be your ideal date?"
