Be Mine ~ Zerrie ~

Chapter 23

(Really short, I'm sorry)

I sit down at the kitchen table. Jesy stands behind the cook island awkwardly, pretending to work on something.

'Why doesn't she sit down?' Zayn, who sat down beside me a minute ago, whispers in my ear.

'I don't know. Maybe she thinks she isn't allowed to sit with us?' I whisper back.

'Should I tell her she can sit down?' He asks.

'Yea, go on.' I smile softly. He coughs loudly and Jesy's head shuts up.

'You can sit down too.' he tells her.

'If you want to.' I add. She smiles and sits down next to Safaa.

'You're really pretty.' Safaa says quietly to Jesy. She blushes like crazy.

'Thank you.' She says smiling, 'Nobody ever said that to me.'

'Well, it's true.' Safaa simply says. I smile down satisfied and I feel Zayn looking at me. I suddenly feel his hand touching mine under the table. I grab his hand and he rubs his thumb over my hand.

'So, what do you want to do today?' I ask randomly.

'I want to go shopping!' Waliyha squeals. I hear Zayn sigh.

'I think that's a good idea.' I say, taunting Zayn, 'Jesy, do you want to come?' I ask.

'Really?' She asks hopeful. I don't know why, but this makes me very sad. It makes me sad she thinks we don't want her to be with us.

'Of course!' Waliyha answers for me. I probably waited to long with answering.

'Yes, it's really no problem. Actually, I think we're gonna have more fun today because you're with us.' I tell her. I catch Zayn smiling next to me, and he squeezed my hand a little. She smiles from ear to ear. Suddenly it disappears.

'What?' I ask concerned.

'I can't go with you. I have to work. You're parents are paying me to work here.' She says to me and Wali. Before I can, Zayn speaks up.

'It's really no big deal if you go with them. You're hired because you had to keep an eye on the girls, right?' He asks, she nods, 'Well, that's exactly what you're going to do now.' He smiles. Her smile returns and I give Zayn a little squeeze in his hand. God, I love him so much.
