He's The One (Sequel to "Is He The One?") Zayn Malik FanFic

Chapter 3: 2 Years. It's A Long Time

It was early in the morning when I woke up. I prepared and went to my shop. The tailors were all very busy. Recently a lot of clients have been entering my shop and wanted designs. I was so busy helping out when I heard the office phone ring. I picked it up. Hello, this is Mia Khan speaking. May I ask who this is? I asked.

Oh, good. It's you. This is Simon Cowell, Ms. Khan. About the designs, I'll be needing you to work with the boys about their suits today this afternoon. He said. Uh.. well, about that. I'm really busy these days and I don't know if I can--. Miss Khan, the boys will be going to your shop. You won't be leaving. Mr. Cowell cut me off. Oh, well.. Okay then. I responded. Good. He said and hung up before I could even answer.

Time flew so fast and while I was designing a wedding gown, I heard a knock on my door it was my assistant. Maam, they're here. She said. Oh, let them in then, I told her. She nodded and then in came Niall, Louis, Harry, Liam and lastly Zayn. They all had smiles on their faces except for Zayn who I felt was feeling really awkward. But why? Why was he being like this? It hurt me in a way that he felt indifference towards me.

I smiled at them and told them to sit down. They all sat. So, I've already designed some suits that you might like. I considered you're style and what you're comfortable in so please take a look at them. I handed them each one three designs. They all looked at the designs and I could see that there were happy and surprised expressions I didn't know what they thought about my designs which made me more worried.

Mia.. It's fantastic! Liam said surprised. Thanks, Liam. I appreciate it. I told him. Yeah, you're amazing Mia! Niall added. Back then I knew you were good but I now you're great! Harry added really happy. And! I love stripes! Louis exclaimed which made me giggle. I'm glad you liked it guys. I said. We don't like it Mia, we love it! They all said happily. Zayn, what do you think mate? Liam asked Zayn who was sitting quietly.

I really like it. He said simply. His tone wasn't so happy and it wasn't disappointed either so I was glad, at least he said he liked it. Thanks, Zayn. I told him with a small smile. He just nodded. Oh! I'm hungry! Niall burst out. Liam, Harry and Louis stood up. We'll go with Niall and buy us some food. Harry said. Zayn, you stay with Mia. We'll be back. Liam added. Zayn looked like he wanted to refuse and say something but I saw Louis give him a look which made him quiet.

The boys left and I was still sitting down while Zayn was sitting on the couch. We didn't speak at all. Which made it really awkward. I decided to just start designing. A few minutes passed that's when I heard Zayn clearing his throat. I ignored it. Uh, umm.. Mia. So... How have you been? He asked. I've been doing good. How about you Zayn? How have you been? I asked him my concern showing.

I've been great. Everything's coming true. My dreams. He said. I realized that he seemed to ease up a bit. That's good, Zayn. I told him. It's really amazing how back then we used to talk about our future and dreams, now they're almost coming to life. I told him. Yeah, 2 years. It's a long time. He said. When he had said those words something inside me hurt. You're right. I tried to fake a smile.

He smiled back but it was a weak one. After that there was no exchange of words. But then, I decided to ask the question that I really wanted to know what his answer was. Zayn? I called him. Yeah? He said looking at me. I wanted to ask you a question. I told him. Sure, what is it? He asked. Well... I was sort of wondering if.. we're still friends? I asked him looking a bit shy. He didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then suddenly he spoke.

Of course, we are still friends. What makes you think that we aren't? He said while a smile appeared on his face. Well.. it was just that you seem a bit shy or maybe a bit awkward around me. I told him. For me, though.. That's what I think. I added quickly. He paused and chuckled. Uh.. Sorry if you had that idea. I uh.. I um... It's been a bit different for me these past few days. He said looking down. Oh.. okay. I answered with a small smile.

Different? What did he mean by different? I asked inside of my head. Just then, the boys arrived.
