PROTECT THEM (BOOK 1)

Chapter 16 - Who Am I to You?

I'm back! I'm sorry I was late! I've been busy these days. But here I'm back.

Natalie's P.O.V

"Chris, can you please tell me what happened last night? I can't remember anything." I asked.

"Well, you drank a lot last night. We tried to stop you, but you seemed depressed, so we just let it go until you got drunk."

"I was drunk?"

"Yes, you are. You also tried to seduce Jason. I mean you didn't tried to seduce him, but you tried to kiss him." he smirked.

"What?! S-so, d-did I kiss him?"

"No, you didn't."

Thank God...

"Okay, but what happened after that?"

"We didn't know what to do, so we decided to call Liam for help, but Zayn, Harry, Niall and Louis were in his room, so they all helped us too."

"So, they've seen me drunk?"

He nodded.

Fuck.

"I'm so embarrassed! What else did I do next?"

"You suddenly got angry and slapped Zayn."

"I did what?!"

"Yeah, we were all shocked, but Zayn didn't scold you, instead he talked softly to you. Then, you passed out on his arms."

I rubbed my head.

Oh my God, this is so embarrassing. I know I shouldn't drink, but I can't control it. I'm stressed. I can't see Zayn with other women. I don't know why, but my heart hurts when I see him close to Perrie. But I realized who I was. I'm just his bodyguard. I don't deserve him.

"Are you okay, Nat?" Chris asked me, looking at me with a worried face.

"W-what? Y-yes. I'm okay. Chris, I think I need to see Zayn. I need to apologize to him."

Right now, we're outside the recording room. One Direction is rehearsing their new song inside.

"Okay, I'll cover for you."

"Thanks, Chris." I smiled.

"Anything for my friend."

Friend?

Well, yeah. We're friends now.

So, I went into the recording room. When I came in, all eyes were on me.

"Hey, Nat." They all smiled at me.

"Hey, guys."

"How did you sleep last night? Did you sleep well?" Zayn asked, smirking.

"Yeah, did you have a good dream? You must have dreamed of slapping someone." Niall said, also smirking.

"Okay, stop mocking me, guys. I know what happened last night, ok? That's why I came here, I want to apologize to you all for my behaviour last night and I want to apologize for slapping you, Zayn."

"You should be because you as a bodyguard should not drink drinks that are harmful to you. How do you want to protect me after that?"

"Yeah, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry again." I looked down, feeling guilty.

"It's ok, Nat. Just relax. We're okay. Besides you look cute when you're angry." Harry smiled at me.

I blushed.
