The Ignorant Lie

09

"A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends."

Louis, liam and Zayn walked in Trisha's lounge together. After last night's event louis called zayn and told him he's coming and zayn told him to extend his invitation to liam and harry too. Hence explains liam with him but in the excitement of meeting zayn again louis totally forgot to ask harry. One thing he learned about this man was that he was a control freak and want everything according to his wishes.

His house was big but not as exaggerated as Harry's mansion. His lounge has custom sofas covered in a neutral linen, and a coffee table and side table and a beautiful art piece of Trisha's choice. She had a very sophisticated taste in everything.

"Come, come please." Zayn said politely. He was wearing a simple grey t-shirt with black skinny jeans.

"You know sometimes extra caring and politeness make others feel like a stranger" Liam said in a teasing tone. He too was dressed simple t-shirt and jeans.

"Come on liam, we know each other since we were in high school we are far from strangers." Zayn said equally amused.

Louis was seeing their banter with a pleasant smile on his face. He was glad to see liam his old self again and an amused zayn isn't so bad either.

"I'm so sorry about your mum, zayn. I remember she always drop you to high school and college and never let you drive alone." He said with so much sincerity in his voice. Liam met trisha once or twice. She was a kind and caring mother.

His smile dropped and the reality came rushing down to him. "Yeah, she never left me alone. I was the one who left her alone in her hard time." He said with a sad small smile. The guilt of not spending much time with her still present in his heart.

"Come on Zayn, It was an accident you could not do anything about it. You can't blame yourself for that. Don't be upset" He said softly.

"Instead you should look at Louis more often" Louis tilted his head towards liam with a curious gaze.

"You'll forget all of your sorrows while looking at him." Liam said with a cheeky smile.

Louis move his eyes towards zayn and their eyes locked making Zayn's expression melt and a soft smile creeping on his face. Louis blushed and avert his eyes looking anywhere but Zayn's loving gaze.

"Um. Hello, Like not that much and Like not right now? I'm still here and besides we have guest to accompany." Liam's teasing voice break them both from their trance making louis blush even more and zayn chuckle.

A frantic looking Mish passed by them "Oh thank God Zayn, Tell me Which grocery set to use?" she waved two plates in her hands waving it around. "And what are going to with this pasta? I didn't make any meatballs or sauces with this"

Zayn chuckled at her frantic behaviour and mish scowl "What's so funny? Im in crisis."

Beside zayn Louis chucked "Mish, why are you so worried? I'm here now, We can handle it together" MIsh looked at louis wide eyed like it was the first time She just noticed the him and liam. She let out a sigh of relief and looking at him with Now-you-are-here-all-my-problems-are-gone look

Zayn was looking at interaction with a glint of pride in his eyes, at louis' chuckle he looked him with so much adoration for the younger man.

"I'm gonna put Lynn in guest room, she fell asleep during the short ride here. Do you mind?" he asked, turning to look at Zayn.

"Its her Uncle's house too, i don't see any problem." He said with a mischievous smile, beside him louis turned beet and liam only smirked and shook his head. Idiots.
