I sat in Zayn's music room, that I had come to know of in the second day I had moved in. Its a week since I had moved in with him. We hadn't spent much time together which to be honest was good for the both of us. He was busy with his studio work and final work for his album. I was busy with my own song writing moments and studio work. We barely met each other during the day. Like, I woke up and left earlier for work or he did. Not like we wanted to spend time with each other or anything, but it was more like I was staying alone in another place and I couldn't help but feel lonely.
Loneliness was a distasteful feeling. It could eat you up without you even realising it.
I sat there on the desk, tapping my pencil on it, looking for some inspiration. Soon enough, Zayn walked in.
"I was looking around for you," he said as he quietly put his guitar in its stand.
"Oh."
"Mhmmm," he hummed, "what are you up to Rachael?!"
"I want to write something, but I kinda can't," I said looking down. I was disappointed.
"Relax. It'll be okay. I think I'm gonna head out for some dinner. Want to join?!" He asked.
I looked at him and shrugged briefly. "Or maybe, I can make some lasagna and we can watch a movie," I offered.
"Mhmmmm... Rachael! Sounds like a plan," Zayn smirked.

I was quickly cooking the lasagna up as Zayn sat in the breakfast bar, sipping on his beer.

"Rachael?!"

"Mhmmmm?!"

"Why do you hate me?!"

I was thrown off guard as I turned to look at Zayn.

"Isn't hate, too strong a word?!" I asked while Zayn mindlessly shrugged.

I continued cooking as I spoke. "I don't hate you. I find you annoying and maybe, I can call this feeling dislike," I said.

Zayn gave me a thoughtful look. "So you don't hate me?!"

"Again, hate is a strong word and a dirty feeling. I don't hate you," I assured him. He nodded, a soft smile appearing on his chiselled face.

"Living with somebody you think, hates you is not a good feeling," he admitted.

I chuckled. "I'm actually surprised we can have a full conversation without fighting and cursing at each other."

"Yeah," he chuckled, "it's quite surprising."

I chuckled again and dished out the lasagna for the two of us. We sat quietly at the breakfast bar, chewing in our food, occasionally stealing glances and sharing smiles.

"I haven't literally seen you all week," Zayn spoke breaking the silence that was somehow comforting, yet overwhelming.

"Yeah," I swallowed my food, "You've been busy. I've been busy."

Zayn nodded. "This is good," he said as he had a another mouth of my lasagna.

"Thank you," I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. He smiled, softly, his eyes crinkling making him look happy.

"You've got a really nice smile," I complimented. Zayn looked shocked for a second, but he quickly recovered, smiling wider.

"Thank you. You've got beautiful eyes," he said.

I laughed. "Is it because I said you've got a nice smile?!"

"No. A girl's eyes can talk heaps about her. Yours are honest, beautiful and warm," he said, smiling and shaking his head a bit.

I was stunned. "Thank you, Zayn. That was something...... nice. Thanks," I said.

I picked up his plate and mine and walked over to wash them.

"I'll do it," Zayn offered.

Why is he being so nice?!

"It's okay."

"You cooked. At least let me wash the plates up," he said.

"It's not a bargain, Zayn. Honestly, I don't mind," I reassured him.

He smiled and stood next to me as I washed the dishes up.

"Thanks for the dinner, Rachael. It was nice to have some home cooked food," Zayn said, his voice, sounding genuinely happy.

"You do go home. I bet your mum's food is your favourite," I said smiling a bit. But my smile faltered as Zayn face hardened, his eyes turning cold.

"I don't think that's any of your business, Rachael," he said, his voice emotionless.

"But-"

"Gosh, Rachael! You're so annoying! It's like you can't- Forget it?!"

What the hell?! Is he bipolar or something?!

"Zayn?! Why are you all snappy suddenly?!"

"Just because. God! I hate you!" He spat.

I stood there shocked.

What did I do?!
