Tell Me A Lie [Zayn Malik]

Chapter Twenty One

“We’ll see you bumheads later!” Louis said as he and Harry got in a cab. “What did he just call us?” I asked, turning to Zayn, he started laughing and shrugged before leaning down a bit to kiss me. “Well your plane doesn’t leave for another hour so we’ve got time to go get something to eat!” Niall said clapping his hands. “That’s my Pottie, always thinking about food.” Yasmin said patting his cheek, “McDonalds?” Liam asked, putting his arm around Yasmin’s waist. “LETS GO!” Niall shouted, leading the way down the street as Liam helped Yasmin with her bags. 

“You’re Zayn Maliks girlfriend, right?” I was waiting outside the bathroom for Yasmin when a small blonde girl, looking about 12, came up to me, asking me that. “Yes..” I said, not really expecting this. “I saw you in J-14 Magazine!” She said bouncing back on her heels, I just gave her a polite smile. “Is he here?” She asked, glancing around. “Yeah, he’s with Niall and Liam, over there.” I said, pointing to the corner booth where they were seated. “Thank you!” She said before running over to them.

After eating, we still had about twenty minutes before Yasmin’s flight. Her phone started ringing and she stepped off to the corner of the waiting area. “Sooo…” Zayn said turning in his chair to look at me, “What….?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him, “I missed you.” He said smiling, “I missed you, too.” I said laughing as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine. 

“So, that was my mom, my dad and her apparently have a surprise waiting for me when I get home.” Yasmin said as she put her phone back in her pocket. “Do you really have to go?” Liam asked pulling her into a big bear hug, “Yes!” She said and he stuck his bottom lip out, “Please don’t pout, babes, you’ll make me feel worse!” She said leaning into his chest, “Sorry..” He said rearranging his face, “Oh! I got you something.” Zayn said reaching into his jacket pocket, “What?” I asked cautiously as he pulled out a necklace like attachment. “What is that?” I asked, now very curious. “For Friday, we’re having a concert, this is your backstage pass!” He said as he handed it to me, “I also got you something else, but you’re not getting it till tomorrow night.” He said smiling, “That’s not fair!” I said slapping him on the arm. “What isn’t fair?” He asked, laughing, “You can’t tell me you got me something and then not tell me what it is and make me wait!” I said and he wrapped his arm around me. “You’ll survive.” He said as Yasmin’s flight number was called out. 

“I’ll call you when I get off the plane.” Yasmin told Liam as he helped her load her backs onto the X-Ray scanner. “Oh, fine, don’t call me!” I said putting my hands up and pretending to walk away. “Awww, I’m sorry! I’ll call you!” She said running to hug me before continuing through the security. “Wait!” Liam said grabbing her arm. He spun her around and kissed her before letting her go and she smiled, her cheeks turning light pink. “Bye!” She said to me, Niall, and Zayn, we all waved and she grabbed all her things, going around the corner.

I went back home cause the boys all had to go to a signing a couple of hours away. “Have you talked to Harry at all?” I asked Nicole over the phone as I walked up the front steps. “No….. I just wish he would’ve actually realized what he did…” She said as I shut the door behind me and flipped on a couple lights, Gran and Dylan were at the bakery. “Maybe you should talk to him, explain why what he said hurt you, maybe he just didn’t realize it meant that much.” I said as I walked up the stairs. “But what if he didn’t realize? Then what does he see us as? Just friends?” She asked, “Maybe…..” I said, “He’s calling me.” She said quickly, “Well answer!” I said just as quickly, “No!” She said and I heard her press a button on her phone, “Why did you do that?” I asked angrily and she sighed, “I don’t know…. but if he does think of me as just a friend, does that mean he’s just using me?” She asked, her voice getting sadder with each word. “Now, you either answer the phone or stop moping.” I said as I sat down on my bed, “I’m sorry… You’re right! I’m not gonna sit here and feel sorry for myself, I’m gonna go talk to him….. Sometime this week…” She said and I sighed, “Friday! Zayn said we were all getting tickets for their concert, perfect timing!” I said happily and she sighed on the other end, “You’re gonna make me talk to him one way or another aren’t you?” She asked, “YEP!” I said.
