It's a Summer Fling

Chapter 7

Zayn's P.O.V.*edited*

I ended the call after I had fucked up and said 'i love you', but I did here Lauren say it back. It was probably just a reaction she was used to.

"Do you think we can ask Simon if we can go to New York. To record there of course. Theres more room," I said looking at Niall "And food."

Niall turned his head looking at me. "I'll call him right now!" he ran out to call Simon from the phone in the cafe.

I decided to check social media looking through my twitter. I saw girl comment on my twitter about me and Perrie, no body knew we had broken up yet, and i think it was better if it stayed that way. When I first told my fans i was dating Perrie a lot, and i mean a lot, of hate was sent to the both of us. Maybe i should ask Lana from Teen Vogue to hold off on our interview. She would understand, right?

I walked over to the cafe to see Niall stul on the phone. "Is it Simon?" he nodded yes, "Mind if i ask him a quick question?" and with that Niall handed me the phone sitting down on the chair next to the pay phone.

"Simon, can I ask you a quick question?"

"If its about recording in New York I already told Niall my answer."

"No, no its not about that at all. Its just you wanna go public about me dating Lauren, but I don't think its a good idea. And i have perfect reasoning."

"Well, are you gonna tell me?"

"Right, when I first went public with my relationship with Perrie we both got hate, and I don't think Lauren and the girls are ready for so much hate. They need time, and my second choice of reasoning it if you give and Lauren some time to practicing acting like a couple we'll be ready by the time we have interviews."

"Fine, but I want you guys to be like a real couple by the end of this summer camp non-sense."

"Thank you, Simon!" I said handing the phone to Niall, then walking off. I'll worry about Lana later.

Niall had told me that Simon said we can go to New York, but no funny business,because sometimes the we party a little to much.

"Zayn, come on the limos here." Harry said going in the limo with only Niall and I. Liam was off visting Sophia and Louis' at the nurse checking to see if he got a 24 hour stomach bug.

I sat inside the limo to see I got a text from Perrie.

P: Simon, told me about what you and Lauren are doing...

Z: I tried to tell you sooner, but you weren't picking up your phone.

P: I'm sorry you know how my mother doesn't like me on my phone when i'm at her house. Anyway, that's not the point. How long is this gonna last?

Z: Simon never said, but we cant be seen together in front of the public anymore... i'm really sorry, it's for our album.

P: Oh I see... call me please.

I called her not ready to hear what ahe was about to say. "Zayn, I think you should tell Simon you can't 'date' Lauren. Maybe you can leave the camp and spend the Summer with me."

"Perrie, this is important to me and the boys career, and Fifth Harmony's. I don't wanna take away their chance of getting their share of fame."

"I really didnt wanna have to do this, especially over the phone. I think we should break up and when you and Lauren are done with this child's play you can call me, okay?"

"Perrie.."

"Goodbye, Zayn." she ended the call.

I looked up to see Harry and Niall look at me. "She broke up with me until me and Lauren are done acting." I said making it more clear for them to understand. After that we had a long flight to New York.

As we reached the girls hotel, but when I was walking to Lauren's door, I got a call from her. "Zayn, i'm so so sorry I keep wrecking your life up and I don't know what I can do to make this better."

"Lauren? You sound drunk." I said putting my ear through the door to hear her better while she slurred all her words.

"Niall told me about the Perrie thing." she said ignoring what I just said.

"Lauren are you drunk?"

"Shut up, oh my god. You're always trying to be protective its so annoying."

"Lo.. please stop drinking. Its not worth it."

"But you are! I'm drinking because of you asshole! Can't you see that I still have feelings for you? Yet you act like everything's fine after you used me to cheat on Perrie. Is that why she left you? Because i'm a homewrecker?" she said crying her eyes out.

"Lauren, I need to you to take a deep breath in and out, okay?" she did as I said.

"I fucking love you, but we can't ever go back to the couple we used to be. All because of Miss Perrie Edwards. I love you, Zayn..."

"Lauren, I love you too, but i'm gonna hang up. I don't want you drinking i'm calling Camila."

"No, no please. She'll think I was cutting. I just want you to be here with me to at least lay down with me." she said and I took that as my cue to knock on the door holding a stuffed animal in my hands. "Zayn.." Lauren said dropping her phone.

"I'm here, my love." I said hugging her.
