"Zayn is jealous of you and Luke."

Kyara looked up from her phone to Emma who was sitting in the seat behind her in the van.

"What?" For a second, Kyara thought she had misheard Emma, and that she must've been saying something completely different.

"Zayn is jealous. It's completely obvious. Every time I even mention you to him he gets all pissy and starts saying stuff like 'He's not good enough for her'. It's plain as day." Emma shrugged, the way she did when she knew she was right but didn't want to make a big deal about how obviously right she was.

"I think you're wrong. I can prove it. Here," Kyara tapped her phone a couple of times and showed Emma the screen. It displayed Zayn's contact. "I'll call him and mention Luke as much as possible."

It only took two rings before Zayn answered. Emma reached over to put the phone on speaker.

"Kyara! I was just about to think you were doubting our friendship." Emma rolled her eyes. She always hated cheesy romantic stuff until it was either in a book or happening to her. Basically, she was every teenage girl ever.

"Oh, uh, no. I'm not. Are we friends?" Kyara was a little bit confused on they relationship status right now. She'd never been good at deciphering how boys treated her.

"Of course! We went to a concert together, that has to be worth something." Emma nodded, like it was a good point. Kyara gave her a look.

"About that! Luke and I really wanted to thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet." Kyara piqued an eyebrow at Emma, wondering if that was a good start. She received a slow nod.

"Oh... Yeah... You're welcome?" Emma was already grinning at the phone.

"No, really! We mean it. We've had such a great time together. In fact, to repay you, we thought we could take you out to dinner with us tonight. I know it's quite late, but..." Kyara looked at her watch. It was already 11:45 at night.

The interview had lasted a bit longer than expected, seeing as how they had to spend a large amount of time on making Kyara look like she hadn't been barfing all day.

"I guess that works for me. Is anyone else going to be there?" He sounded a bit strained, but not jealous to Kyara. Emma shook her head no, referring to his question.

"Nope. Just us. We'll be paying, so don't even bother." Emma gave her a thumbs up. In her eyes, maybe it make him feel less masculine if Luke payed. "Does Goodman sound okay? I've heard the steaks are amazing."

"Yeah, that's fine. I'll meet you there in thirty?" Kyara made a sound of approval and they said goodbye. When she had hung up the girl looked back to her best friend.

"Now I just have to tell Luke..."

~~~~~~~~

Luke had reluctantly agreed to the dinner, but only because Kyara said he could sleep in her bed again tonight. She hadn't even meant for him to sleep with her last night.

Kyara figured that her interview clothes would be good enough, so she just had the driver drop her off Goodman.

She had on a simple white sweater that was a bit too big and a black skater skirt. Kyara's favorite part of the outfit were the thigh high black stockings and her black army boots. Between the skirt and stockings, only a little three inch sliver of skin showed on her thighs, which were conveniently clean.

Luke showed up a couple minutes after she did, clad in black skinny jeans and a leather jacket. Kyara puckered up her lips for him, which he gladly kissed, just as Zayn appeared. She just smiled sweetly, looking in between the two guys.
