Writing Music ( A Zayn Malik love story)

Three's Company

“No calls unless you are calling a realtor,” I say putting the newspaper in front of Bree. She puts down her phone and opens the paper searching for the apartment listings.

    “Well you should confiscate Paige’s phone. She has been texting the whole time you were at the store,” Bree says as she skims the listings.

    “I do not deny that I was using my phone but don’t forget who is the manager. If it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t even be able to afford an apartment right now,” Paige says matter-of-factly. “Besides I have been doing some work.”

    I look over Paige’s shoulder to see what she has been doing.

    “Rules of the house,” I read. “Rule 1; No one is allowed in Paige’s room.”

    “Well first we need to find a place to live in,” I say handing Paige the realtor’s catalog I got and taking over the computer. She goes to sit down on my bed next to Bree.

    I’m glad that Bree got a recording contract and the three of us have decided to get an apartment together. The only problem is finding the apartment that all of us can agree on.

    While I’m looking at a new listing that just got posted I get a video call. I open it to find Niall on the other end.

    “Were you looking to contact your girlfriend because I think that you got the wrong user.” I say jokingly.

    “No, I was just setting up the video call for Zayn, he’s doing some recording right now.”

    “And he is done recording.” I  hear Zayn say in the background.

    Niall disappears and Zayn takes his place.

    “Hey hot stuff,” I hear Bree say behind me.

    “I don’t think Harry will be too happy hearing you flirting with other guys Bree,” Zayn says a little too loud. I hear a phone buzz behind me and I’m guessing that Harry did hear.

    “What up?” I ask Zayn bringing the attention back to me.

    “I was just making sure that you were off the streets,” He says flashing a smile.

    “Well you know I can’t drive without a car right now. Besides walking has been good for me lately. I just went to grab some research for the apartment hunting.”

    “Speaking of apartment hunting, have you had any luck?”

    “Tough but there are a few places that seem good,” I say truthfully.

    “If you two aren’t chatting all night we might be able to find something before you get back here,” Paige says over my shoulder to Zayn.

    “Then I will let you get back to the search. Besides I can’t wait to see your new room,” He says giving me a smirk.

***************

    “This is the place,” Bree says as we enter the building.

    “You said that about the first apartment we looked at and unless you forgot the landlord there was a sleazeball.” I says climbing the stairs.

    “Well don’t forget the one that had the hot tub and the gorgeous view, though it is a shame that it was sold by the time we were going to make a bid on it.” Paige says next to me

    “If this doesn’t look good by the time I take one look past the door than I’m giving up,” I say as we walk down the hall.

    “Give it a chance, maybe it doesn’t seem as good as it is because no one is showing us around right now. If we waited until later in the day we could get  real tour.” Bree says trying to be optimistic but I have the feeling that she might be having trouble staying happy if this is not the one.

    “Well I told you that I have an important meeting at work,” I say again.

    I’m not lying to them, I do have a meeting for casting for the movie but they don’t know that. Out of all the secrets I have kept the one that still has held is Cora Bound and I do not plan on revealing that anytime soon.

    “Don’t you already own the store pretty much?” Paige says jokingly.

    “Well let’s see if this is the place we are going to own,” Bree says hopefully as I take out the key the realtor gave us.

    I open the door and the three of us go inside.

    “This is the place,” Both Paige and I say as we look around.

    “it seems okay,” Bree says.

    The kitchen is kinda small though I have the feeling that Bree was expecting something bigger by the way she is talking about it.

    The first two bedrooms look pretty much identical though they are both good sizes especially to the some of the other places we have looked at.

The bathroom is not that bad either especially since it has two sinks.

We get to third bedroom. It looks like nothing special until Bree notices something.

    “Is this the only room without two closets?” She asks.

    “What are you talking about?” I ask confused.

    “The other rooms had two closets.”

    “I think you didn’t get enough sleep last night,” Paige jokes.

    “I know what I say. I’ll show you.” Bree says walking out of the room.

    We follow her into one of the other rooms. She walks up to the door that I thought was a closet and opens it.

    “DIBS!!!” The three of us shout together.

    “Hey if it wasn’t for me introducing you two to England you wouldn't have found your way around.” I say arguing for the room.

    “I was the one who found the listing,” Bree says trying to stare me down though I know she will not win a stare down with me.

    “We should think this over and decide who gets a bedroom with the bathroom,” Paige says trying to be the voice of reason.

    The three of us agree to wait before we choose who gets the rooms. Though I have the feeling that this could be the test that determines our friendship.
