Afraid

9.

Alex's POV

I hear light snores, my eyes are too weak for me to open them. I am laying on my stomach, my hand hanging off the bed. I turn my face to the side. I am in such a good sleep.

I open my eyes as soon as I hear a male voice. And it's not my dad "Zayn, get up. I don't want you late!" I sit up tired, confused and I look around my bed for my phone, I look under my pillow, and I find my phone. It's on. I hear Zayn groan, I stay quiet. I was on the phone with Zayn, I guess I fell asleep. The phone says 09:24:15. I take Zayn off speaker, and I put the phone against my ear. Zayn mumbles a few things that I can't make out. I was on the phone with Zayn for 9hours.

"Hello...Alex? Are you still there." His voice sounds like pure sex. It's raspy as hell. I feel my cheeks flush, and I cover my mouth. I squeal. And he hears me.

Zayn chuckles "I can hear you." I blush and I have a big kool-aid smile plastered on my face.

"Your dad woke me up." I stand up and stretch.

"Sorry about that." He yawns, I hear him moving.

I throw my hand over my eyes "AHHH I don't want to get up," My body feels weak, like I ran thousands of laps, "You know for being a boy, you snore light. Unlike my dad." I say walking towards my dresser.

He laughs "Yeah, well I didn't get much sleep, you snore a lot, for being a girl."

I gasp "Excuse you! I do not! Take that back. I don't snore. It's a fact."

"So what ever happens to the lamb?" Zayn asks, changing the subject.

What lamb? I look at the mirror in confusion and I rub my neck and I notice a red bruise on my neck. Zayn left a mark. Crap. I have a flipping hickey on my neck. I'll put makeup over it. I totally forgot what Zayn just asked me "what?"

"You know the lamb? Did he find his way home?"

I smile. Zayn paid attention to the story. He fell asleep listening to my voice. The butterflies are flying wild in my stomach "yeah he did. He never left after that."

Zayn's POV

After talking to Alex on the phone while getting ready. For it being a Tuesday, I knew today was going to be a good day. She decided to FaceTime me while I ate breakfast. She told me about her weird obsession with gum, and how she loves gum. We talked about if she was going to get a dog or cat. Then she hung up on me because I said "Cats are boring, get a lizard."

It was 8:00 when I arrived at Harry's house to pick him up for school then go get Louis, I hate getting up earlier just to make it to his house on time to pick him up and drive to school.

I waited in the car, when I heard a door shut and I looked out my window to see Alex walking down the street. She was wearing a oversized white shirt and black leggings with skulls on them. Her hair in a nice bun. Her small backpack on her back. Her small wrist accessorized with black bracelets. And small black studs on her ears. Her makeup a little dark. But it made her look smoking hot and badass. Alex Mendez looked like a total babe.

I yelled to her "Want a ride?" Alex jumped and look in my direction.

She smiles "are you actually going to drive me or just have me sit on your lap and makeout?" Ooh... Feisty this early in the morning?

I shake my head and smirk "a beautiful distraction, as much has I know you'd rather sit on lap, sadly I have to get a education."

She laughs crossing the street and walks to my window "Are you waiting for Curly?"
