The Wedding Date ➸ Ziam

Liam James Payne & The Deal

I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. I had been up almost all last night thinking about last night. Sadly, it was the most eventful thing that has happened to me in my lame life in awhile. And that man. That totally, incredibly sexy man. He won't leave my mind, its like his face is permanently etched in my skull and that voice of his is forever in my ears. How could someone so beautiful be so hideous? I shrug and throw the covers off of me, getting out of bed. I take a shower and get ready for work, which I'm dreading. I'd quit if I didn't have bills to pay.

"Zayn!" A voice from behind me calls.

I turn to see Harry approaching me, his curls bouncing. I roll my eyes. Ugh, this guy. "Hey, Harry" I mumble.

"Have you seen Louis? I've been looking for him for the past twenty minutes."

"He's probably late like usual" I mutter while getting my counter ready.

"Okay, well thanks anyway! I'll seeya around!" Harry says all bubbly and weird and shit. God, he's so annoying. I don't see why Louis hangs with him.

I turn to organize the cigarette shelf behind me until a deep voice clears. I turn to see him standing there with that fucking smirk on his face.

I grimace, "What the hell are you doing here?"

He chuckles, "Its a store, what, I can't buy stuff?"

I cross my arms, "You can't."

He shakes his head, "Whatever just check me out."

Oh, I can check you out alright.

I shake my head at that thought. What the hell is wrong with me? I grab his items and begin to scan them, feeling the man's eyes on me the whole time.

"Can you not?" I ask bitterly, finally looking up seeing him still smirking with his arms crossed.

"Can I not what?" He asks, amusement laced in his voice.

I roll my eyes, "Look at me that's what."

The man chuckles while I ring up his stuff. "That'll be £42.69."

He hands me his credit card and I look at it seeing the name written in gold letters. Liam J. Payne.

Hmm, Liam Payne. It suits him because he sure is a pain.

I hand him back his change along with his bag. "Here you go, now scram."

Liam laughs, "Scram?"

I nod.

"Listen..." Liam leans into me and reads my nametag. "Zayn, I don't know what's up your ass this morning but I don't think you should be talking to customers like that. You could lose your job you know?"

I roll my eyes, "What's up my ass is you!"

Liam's coffee-colored eyes widen and he points to himself, "Me?"

"Yes you! I was having a bad night and you made it even worse! God, you are such an ass" I spat.

"Oh for fucks sake-"

My phone rang out in the middle of Liam talking. I grab it from my pocket and Liam tsks. "Talking on the job, shame on you."

I flash him the middle finger before answering it. "Hello?"

"Zayn! Hey baby, how are you!"

I sigh, "Fine mom, what's up?"

"I heard your date with Niall was a flop."
