The Story of Us

Chapter 33

Tia's Pov

When we get back from shopping, and nearly spending ever penny we had to our names, we finally make it home.

I help Zayn unload the truck, and we place everything on the counter, and I load all the groceries into the cabinets and fridge. Zayn takes all the other necessities and places them were they belong.

"I could get used to this." Zayn says coming behind me wrapping his arms around me as I place a can in the cabinet.

"To what?" I ask slightly turning my head

"To you. You know looking all sexy in the kitchen." he says whispering in my ear making me blush, but I hit at him playfully. "Stop it." I reply walking from his grip.

"Aww, did I embarrass you Tegan?" he grins

"No, just talk like that. I don't know, it makes me feel weird." I admit

"I am going to start looking for jobs soon." Zayn says taking a seat on the sofa and turning the T.V. on.

"I think I am going to and enroll in internet classes." I say walking over and sitting next to him

"You aren't just going to go finish at a normal school? We are already in November." Zayn says putting Jerry Springer on

"Why should I? I won't know anyone. And I would love working from home anyway. Especially since you won't be there." I sigh and roll my eyes.

"Yeah, but I really don't want you home alone all day. I don't know this neighborhood that well, and I don't want you to get hurt." Zayn says, but not once looking at me

"All day?" I question

"Well when I get a job, I won't be home frequently during the day, and you'll be here for a while by yourself." he shrugs

"I can defend myself Zayn." I respond annoyed

"Oh really?" he says tackling me. His body is hovering over mine, and I am using all of my strength to push him off of me, but he is too strong. He gets off of me, and sits back down. "You can defend yourself." he laughs

"Well whatever, I am not going to real school." I say crossing my arms.

Zayn opens his mouth to say something, but stops when there is a knock at the door. I look at him confused, as I approach the door, Zayn follows. I open the door, and there is a couple in their mid twenties standing in the door way with a batch of cookies. "Hi, we are the Babop's." The girl says handing me the cookies. She had a really big smile and extremely long blond hair. I grab the cookies and look at Zayn who is staring at the couple like they were some foreign object. I kick him from behind, and he shakes his head and grabs the cookies and brings them to the counter.

"Hi, this may seem weird, but we are so excited you guys moved here." she admits to me

"Oh why?" I ask

"Well because the neighbor's here, well they are scary. You guys seem like us, not scary. " She whispers

And the man nods his head.

"Ah, I see. Well my name is Tia and that's Zayn." I say pointing to him, and he waves.

"Ooo, Hi. I'm Kayla and this is Steven. Do you mind if we come him?" She smiles

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. Take a seat um anywhere." I say shaking my head as I move out the way. They both take a seat on the sofa, and I sit on the chair crossing one leg over the other.

"Ya know, this is such a lovely place. How'd you decorate it so fast. I have never seen you guys before." She says admiring the small home

"It was pre furnished." Zayn says taking a seat on the arm of my chair.
