Jealous, Much?

Chapter 2

After I recovered (which, embarrassingly, took quite a bit of time), Harry and I made our way across and down the hall, to Louis' room. I was a little bit nervous, because even though I know we've all seen each other at least once in an awkward situation which included having at least a semi (sometimes a little bit more), I was just worried that Louis would joke too much about it, and Zayn would think I'm just a horny bastard or something. We reached the door, and Harry grabbed my hand, linking our fingers, and I looked up at him in surprise, but he just winked (seriously, this boy), and I understood it was all part pf the plan. Harry opened the door, and we walked in, to see Louis, Liam and Zayn talking on Louis' king-sized bed, each nursing a beer.

They all turned to look at the door when they heard it open, so they see as Harry and I walk over to the bed, hands still linked.

"Zayn just mentioned something very interesting that may have gone down just now...or someone, I'm not here to judge" Louis says, eyeing the slight bulge in the front of my pants, as well as our swollen lips and messed up hair.

Of course Louis is the first to speak...and seriously? That innuendo...Well it did make me shuffle a little nervously, standing next to Harry near the bed, not letting my eyes look to Zayn.

Harry laughs, and says "Aw, you jealous, babe? You never said you wanted me, all you had to do was ask...and beg...and plead...Like Niall here". I am going to kill him.

I splutter, "What, no, I did not beg for anything, you were the one throwing yourself at me, I was just lecturing you, and suddenly he was all over me!"

Harry grabs my waist, turning me so I am facing him front-on, with him looking down on me, giving me déjà vu from what happened less than ten minutes ago.

"You just looked so cute, getting all angry, I couldn't help it," Harry says softly, looking me right in the eyes. Okay, someone give this lad an award, his acting is making me fell a little flustered.

I break eye-contact with Harry, and turn to see astonished faces, and I wish that unknown emotion I could see in Zayn's eyes was jealousy, but he wouldn't be, so no.

Liam speaks up, "Wait, you two actually...I thought Zayn was kidding!"

"No, no, we didn't actually do anything, Haz is just kidding, we were just talking!" I quickly say, feeling Harry drop his harm from my waist, and watch him make his way to the bed and drop down on it, laying back on the pillows adorning the head of the bed. He grunts in agreement (I think) to what I said.

Louis gives Harry an appraising look, as I realise I am still standing like an idiot next to the bed. I move til I am right next to the bed, and sit on the edge, near Harry's thighs, with Liam to the left of me. He gives me an identical look as to the one Louis gave Harry, but I just look away, and see Zayn sipping on his beer, looking down and picking at a pillow situated on his lap. I am just about to turn to look where Louis and Harry are whispering at the head of the bed, when Zayn looks up and meets my eyes. My heart skips a beat, which I will never admit happened, and (hate to sound cliché) but I kind of get lost in the them...No judgement, please, because I know if you were me right now, looking in those hazel eyes that seem to be glowing, you would not be immune to that kind of beauty.

I don't realise I'm staring until, Louis coughs dramatically "Well, if Niall would just stop eye-raping Zayn for a minute...". Harry sits up suddenly as I blush and look away, and slides closer to me, and pulls me against his chest, sliding his legs on either side of me.

"Ni, baby, I thought what we had was real!" Seriously, this kid, I can just feel him pouting.

Not gonna lie, but leaning against Harry's warm chest felt pretty damn comfortable. I move my head back onto Harry's left shoulder, look up at him and say jokingly back, "Aw, Haz, you know you'll always be the one for me". Man, I am doing great in this plan.

"Well if you two have quite finished..." Louis says, raising his eyebrows at Harry and I.

"Seriously, you need to work on this jealousy thing, Lou" I laugh, shifting in my spot between Harry's legs...okay wow, that sounds weird, never mind. I have no idea how I am acting so cool about this, especially with Zayn less than a foot away from me.

I change the subject, "So what do we have tomorrow?".

Liam, obviously answers, being the most organised out of the five of us "We have a signing at 9:30am, but that's pretty much it...oh wait, but we need to go through our new song a bit more, because I don't think we're working that chorus very well".

I go a little quiet and look down at my hands after he says that, nodding in assent, because I know it's my fault we're not getting it right. I just can't hit that note. It's hard when Harry and Zayn are using their powerful voices, and I'm expected to be able to be heard over them. In recording it doesn't matter, but we'll be singing it live for the first time in 2 weeks, so I need to nail it by then. I think Harry notices, because he casually moves his arms around my stomach, and squeezes, making me look back up at him. He leans down, moves his mouth to my ear, and whispers "You know you have the hardest part, right? And Zayn and I are just being proud pricks and singing too loudly, we'll stop, I promise."

Of course Harry would try to make me feel better. Well, all the boys would. But. Well. No offense to Harry, but words don't just magically make me feel better. But I won't tell him that, so I smile and say "Yeah, yeah, I know. Nah you and Zayn are singing perfectly, I just gotta sing louder."

Louis, Liam and Zayn have started a conversation around us, talking about some show or other, I don't really feel like talking much, I am too worried now about the song.

"Ni, do you wanna go to the shops to get some food with me?" I look up to see Zayn looking at me expectantly, his eyes flickering between my own and Harry's hands still wrapped tightly around me.

Hm, would I like to spend one on one time with Zayn?

"Sure!" I brighten up, despite my previous worrying. Zayn just does that to me...wow, I really am pathetic.

Zayn puts down his empty beer bottle onto Louis' nightstand, stands up, walks around to the side of the bed that I am on, and reaches his hand out towards me. I try to reach for them and stand up, but Harry hasn't let go of me yet.

I laugh, "Haz, you gotta let go."

He quickly squeezes me one more time, and kisses my cheek before letting go removing his arms from around me, which is normal, but, I don't know, it felt different. It was probably just because those lips have been on mine, it's just a little different, nothing to worry about.

I take Zayn's hand (internally squealing), and he pulls me up, and we walk out of the room. When I realise we're still holding hands, I reluctantly pull my hand away, because I don't want Zayn to get uncomfortable. All he does is look to where our hands were, then looks back up and leads the way down to the lobby of the hotel. I really want to know what he thought of the idea of Harry and I doing 'something', whether or not he actually cared. He had to care a little bit, because he even mentioned it to Louis. Though, probably not because of jealousy, so it's probably nothing.

As we leave through the back entrance of the hotel, I look around for any fans, but I don't see many people. Well, it is almost 10:30pm, but well, the Sydney nightlife, from what I've heard, is pretty wild, so I am a little surprised at the lack of people. Maybe people just don't hang around in this area.

As we're walking down the street, not talking, Zayn suddenly turns and looks at me, giving me that calculating look he has mastered so well. It makes me a little nervous, and makes my body heat up at the intensity of his gaze.

I try to laugh and say "What's wrong?"

He stares at me for a few more moments, before asking something I'm not really, but kind of, expecting, "Did you and Harry do anything in your room?"

Authors Note:

So yeah next chapter, not much, just some Narry lovin' and hopefully Zayn's getting jealous ;) I don't really read through my work after writing it, so it's probably full of mistakes and inconsistencies and probably sucks, sorry
