One Direction's Bodyguard

9. Closer

Chapter 9: Closer

"Morning!" Harry greeted as I went downstairs to the kitchen.

"Morning." I mumbled sleepily.

Last night I didn't get that much sleep. I was too worried about One Direction and their safety. I was trying to think of a way to find out who the threateners were but I came up with no ideas.Usually when if I don't come up with any ideas, I won't rest till I do. That's why I feel so exhausted now.

"Wow." Zayn said walking into the room. "You look like shit."

I glared at him. "Thank you. Thank you Captain Obvious."

Zayn smirked at me. "Your welcome."

I yawned. "Geez if you're that tired, go back to sleep." Zayn complained.

I trudged into the kitchen and started to make a cup of coffee. "I would love to but I have got stuff to do."

"Like?" Zayn questioned.

"Getting to the bottom of who switched of the lights yesterday in the stadium." I explained.

"That's true but I don't think you need to tire yourself." Harry said getting up. "I've got to go now."

Like that, Harry walked away.

"Harry's right." Zayn said quietly. "You shouldn't tire yourself."

I yawned again as the coffee machine finished pouring me the coffee. I ignored Zayn and started to drink my coffee, pondering what need to be done first. How was I going to find the trouble makers.

I was caught surprised as Zayn grabbed my hand. He took the coffee out of my hand and set it down. "What are you..." I started to ask.

Zayn threw me over his back and started to carry me upstairs. I started to protest, by kicking and smacking him, but he ignored me and continued to carry me upstairs. He came into my room and threw me onto my bed. I tried to get up but he pinned me down with his arms and legs. "Sleep." Was all he said.

He got up and covered me with a blanket.

"Go to sleep." He said gently kissing me on the forehead.

I watched him walk out of my room and close the door as my eyes slowly closed.

I woke having a nice feeling that I had the best sleep ever. I skipped down stairs wondering what the time was. As I went into the kitchen and looked at the clock my jaw dropped. 6 o'clock pm. That's like the whole day wasted. And I didn't even eat breakfast. My stomach agreed with me as it rumbled. I groaned. I was a little depressed. I also skipped lunch.

"Morning." Zayn greeted me as I went finished looking at the clock and getting depressed because I skipped to meals.

"It's afternoon dummy." I replied.

"Geez no need to be a bitch." Zayn sniffed. "I thought you getting sleep, would put you in a better mood, but no. I even made dinner for you."

I perked up at the word dinner. "You did?"

Zayn rolled his eyes. "Yes I did, I cooked you instant macaroni and cheese."

"Who cares, I'm hungry!" I threw my hands up in the air in defeat.

I went and got a plate full of delicious looking macaroni and cheese and got a fork. I started to dig into it. "Uh." I moaned, delighted.

Even though it was instant macaroni and cheese it still tasted good.

During the whole time I gulfed my food down, Zayn stared at me with a weird expression. "You and Niall would be really good match together."

"We might." I agreed putting my empty plate into the sink.

"Might?" Zayn asked, wanting an explanation.

"Well if I had any romantic feelings for him, we would be a pretty good match." I explained. "But I don't."

"So who do you have feelings for?" Zayn asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" I asked starting to feel uncomfortable with the subject.

"No." Zayn replied. "Is it me?"

I scoffed. "No."

"Then who?" Zayn pressed.

"I told you isn't it obvious?"

"This is going nowhere." Zayn sighed.

I paused, pondering whether to tell him or not. "Cobalt and Cyan." I answered quietly.

Zayn had really good hearing. "The twins really? Aren't they with Kristina or something."

"Thank you, thank you Captain Obvious." I sarcastically said again.

Zayn gave me a look. He then edged closer to me. "Why are you secretly sulking over them when you can have me?" He asked softly.

I backed away. "I'm not secretly sulking over them."

"Oh really." Zayn raised an eyebrow.

He inched near me again and place his thumb near my cheek and stroked it gently.

I just stood there getting creeped out at Zayn's behaviour.

Then the kitchen door burst open. "Sapphire!" The twins shouted coming out from the door.

Zayn quickly jumped back away from me as the twins came running over to me and gave me a huge hug. "How are you." Cobalt asked after he and Cyan let go of me.

"Good." I answered.

"We're glad you came to One Direction's house safely. We were so worried." Cyan told me.

"You were worried about me?" I asked surprised.

"Of course!" Cobalt said.

"You were left alone with that creepy man. Why wouldn't we be worried." Cyan pointed out.

"You know." Zayn interrupted. "I find this really stupid."

"What is stupid?" Cobalt asked curious."

"You say to Sapphire that you are worried, you care for her, you're her best friends yet you don't actually do what you say." Zayn said.

"That's ridiculous." Cyan waved his hand around. "Of course we do."

"Oh really." Zayn raised an eyebrow. "Then how come you didn't stay with Sapphire last night. If you were worried that something bad would happen to Sapphire concerning the 'bad man' why didn't you stay with her."

Cobalt and Cyan stared at him with a surprised look on their faces. "We know that Sapphire can take care of herself, we seen her in action." Cobalt explained.

"So? If I were you I would try and protect her, regardless if she can protect herself."

Zayn stared at me with such intensity. I started to feel uncomfortable again. Deep down inside of me, I could feel my heart warm a little. What Zayn said was pretty sweet. "But I'm not in you shoes." Zayn said. "She doesn't feel the same way."

I started to blush realising that Zayn was referring to my crush on the twins.

Cobalt and Cyan looked at each other. "We're busy." Cyan excused. "We have a talk show to run, we can't always keep an eye on Sapphire 24/7."

"Anyways, last night you didn't stay with her too." Cobalt pointed out.

"You know what just leave." Zayn gave up. "Know one needs to be around crappy people like you."

The twins looked at me. I looked away. "You know what, I think Kristina was right, we don't need you in the team. It was fine with the three of us." The twins defended suddenly.

I winced at that comment hurt. The door opened revealing the rest of the four boys in One Directions, their expression not to happy. "Zayn's right, I think you should leave." Liam advised.

The twins started to walk out of the door. "Oh and just saying, we're only going on you show just because of the deal." Harry said.
