Zayn followed Mariam into the kitchen.
"Look, I'm sor--"
"Sir Zayn, we don't have to discuss what you said. I'm not interested in the foul thoughts you had going through your mind." Mariam rolled her eyes, getting the food out of the microwave.
"Mariam, I didn't mean any of it. I don't have any interest in fuc---" he stopped before the word fell out of his mouth.
Mariam glared.
"..In making love to you." he finished.
"That's great, Sir Zayn. Just great." she said in an annoyed tone, she said handing to Zayn.
"Mariam! I said I'm sorry!" he yelled exasperated.
"Sir Zay--"
"And I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop calling me that!"
"What?" she said confused.
"Sir Zayn? I feel like some old hag whenever you call me that!" he gritted through his teeth.
"I'm sorry Si-- I mean Zayn." she apologized.
He sighed, turning away from her. He put the untouched food back down onto the kitchen table, returning to his room.

"Zayn, get up! You've been sleeping the whole damn day!" Yaser yelling, knocking on the sleeping man's locked door.
Zayn groaned, burying his face into his pillow.
"You'd better be out within 5 minutes for dinner, or else, do you hear me Zayn?" Yaser yelled before walking away from the door.
Zayn took that as cue to get up. He slowly, but gradually got up from his bed. He got up to his closet, and grabbed a black shirt. Slipping the fitting tee on, he left the room.
"Ah, finally, he has arrived." Yaser said sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah." Zayn said sleepily.
"Mariam dear, please get Zayn some water.. with ice." he added.
"Dad, you can stop with the bogus language barrier act, okay? I know that she can speak English." Zayn said, annoyed.
"That's not true." Yaser denied.
"It is.." Mariam said quietly.
"How did he find out.." Yaser mumbled.
"Wasn't hard." Zayn chuckled to himself, looking at Mariam.
Mariam glared at Zayn for a bit. Zayn cowered away from her glare.
"Okay then.. No secrets then." Yaser announced.
"That's the way it should've been from the start, Dad." Zayn said, taking a large gulp of his chilled water.
"Moving on... Mariam, take a seat." Yaser gestured to the chair next to him.
Mariam began to make her way to the chair.
"Actually Mariam, I need some more water." Zayn ordered, without taking a look at her.
Mariam hesitated a bit, but she knew better than to disrespect her master's son. She took the glass away from Zayn and went back to the fridge.
Mariam handed the, now, filled glass to Zayn and took a seat.
Little did the poor girl know that there was much more than a glass of water to quench Zayn's needs.
(A/N): Hey guys, I didn't really know what to write in this chapter. It was more like a filler chapter. I kindof wanted a quick way to fill show the way Yaser finds out Zayn knows about Mariam's ability to speak English. I PROMISE, a bigger and better chapter will be up this weekend. Thanks homeslices.
