Chapter 14

Zayn's POV

“Don’t wake me uuuuuuup” Chris Brown’s voice ironically sang out of my phone. My sleepy eyes flickered opened to find sun light and dust dancing through my window. “Who would be calling so early?” I asked myself, sitting up and reaching for my phone. My heart skipped a beat. What if it’s Dee calling? A smiled popped onto my face. I looked at the screen. “Nialler” I shook my head out of disappointment and answered tiredly. “Hello?” I heard static and then, “Oi! No one’s outside the studio. No girls, no boys no…nobody. It’s cool if you just drive here, bro.” I nodded as my mind felt at ease at the thought of not getting attacked by girls today. My legs were still sore from yesterday. “Alright then, I’m on my way.” I answered. “Cool, cool.” Niall hung up. I put my phone down and searched for some clothes. You know what, I’m gonna put some actual effort in how I look today. I changed into a black tank top with a rugged looking jean jacket on top. It’s been kind of chilly lately. I put on khakied pants with my regular Nike high tops. I fixed up my hair and looked at myself in the mirror one final time. I smiled. I felt and looked good today. I grinned at more of my vain thoughts.

Driving into the recording studio, Niall was right. No one was outside. I wasn’t gonna get attacked or chased down today…yet? Oh well. This day has started off pretty good. I walked inside to have my four best friends look up at me. “Guys, what’s up?!” I said happily. All of them gave me a look as if to ask if I was okay. “How are you, mate?” Liam asked from the couch. “Soooooo good.” I jumped onto Liam’s lap. He laughed and gave me a small hug, letting me stay where I was. “So, let’s go have the best rehearsal ever lads!” I jumped from Liam’s lap, and walked into the booth first, pumping my fists in the air. They all laughed at my antics, following me in. 

“Good job guys.” Harry smiled as we finished up. “Man Zayn, you were in the zone today! You stayed on pitch, didn’t mess up any lyrics. Perfect!” Louis exclaimed. He put up his hand signaling a high five. I slapped his hand hard as he laughed. “Thanks mate. I feel in the zone today!” I said jubilantly. They all smiled at me and chuckled to themselves. Before I knew it, all the boys were disappearing into their cars. I grabbed at my keys in my pocket before I felt a strong grip on my shoulder. I turned to face Harry. “You haven’t got any plans today, do you? You should cancel them right now if so. You’ve gotta spend the day with me and Niall.” He gave me a smile and waited for my response. I looked over at Harry’s car to see Niall leaning on it with his arms over his chest. He caught me looking at him and motioned for me to get in the car. I smiled. “Sure thing, guys. I’ve got so much to tell you, you won’t believe it!”

“Wow. So she didn’t scream over you? Didn’t cry? Didn’t hound you for a photo or an autograph?” Harry asked in an unbelieving tone. I took a bite of the pancakes he whipped up for me, him and Niall and nodded. “She was completely sane the whole time. It was unbelievable!” I said, cutting up another piece of delicious hot cake. “She sounds pretty incredible, when is the next time you’re gonna see her?” He asked. I thought about it and shrugged. I honestly didn’t know when I was gonna see her again. From what she told me, she’s only supposed to be in London for 2 weeks. I hope I get to spend some sort of time with her before she leaves. “Hey, remember lad. You’ve still got a girlfriend to attend to.” Niall stated as a matter of factly. I nodded and swallowed the last piece of pancake I had on my plate. Damn. They were so good. I leaned back in my chair and folded my hands behind my head. “You guys should’ve seen her. She sure was a dream.” I stated more to myself than to Harry and Niall. “She’s not just another one night stand?” Niall asked. I shook my head. “Absolutely not. Not that type of girl at all anyway.” I told him in a serious tone. Niall nodded and finished off the last of his eggs then looked at me. Then to Harry. Then back at me. Then back at Harry. “Are we just gonna sit in Harry’s kitchen or are we gonna go have some fucking fun?!” Niall hollered. We all laughed and got up from our seats. What are we gonna be doing today?

After hours of fun time with Niall and Harry, I was already exhausted. Disguising ourselves up for the shopping centre was first. Nobody recognized us! It was amazing. We shopped around for about an hour or so then left to go to the cinema; which lasted for about 2 hours.  We then went to Niall’s place for a game of football. That took another hour and 45 minutes out of our day. It’s now 4:53 pm and we’re starved. Harry suggested some Chinese. I nodded and we both turned to Niall. “You know what’s better than Chinese? Nandos! I haven’t had that in forever. Let’s?” He looked at Harry and me with hopeful eyes. We both looked at each other. “I don’t know Harry…shall we?” I asked giving him a grin. “Hmm….maybe.” He responded, teasing Niall. “To Nandos!” Niall screeched. Harry and I laughed as Harry nodded. We all got into my car and headed off to early dinner.
