The Wedding Date ➸ Ziam

Liam the Larry Shipper & Are You Shitting Me?

I tap my foot impatiently on the ground then look at my phone to see the time. "Where is he?" I mumble to myself.

Liam, Louis, and I are taking a separate flight. Mom, Dad, Anthony, and Tyler left 3 days ago. But no, we had to stay back cause Liam had to deal with the stupid company.

I'm cut off from my thoughts when Liam's Maserati pulls up quickly, driving through a big puddle causing water to splash on my jeans.

I scowl, "Thanks asshole."

Liam rolls down the window, "Get in loser, we're going shopping."

I roll my eyes at him while picking up my luggage and placing it in the trunk. As soon I'm in the car, we're headed off down the road and to Louis'.

"Arlight, our flight leaves in an hour and we still have to get Louis and his apartment is about 20 minutes from here and the airport is at least 30 minutes away so we need to pick up the pace here" I instruct.

"Yes, because I'm gonna go over the speed limit and then get pulled over so we'll definitely miss our flight. Good thinking there" Liam sasses.

"Oh just shut up and drive."

"Kay, Rihanna."

Liam and I haven't talked since the big fight we had. We both know neither of us are gonna apologize so there's just no point in that. There's this feeling inside me that burns of loathe from having to be near this jerkface again but yet, my heart pumps faster in a sense of giddiness because I haven't seen him in awhile. Its all very confusing and I try to ignore it but that's hard too.

"So are you gonna apologize for how you treated me?" Liam breaks the silence and oh great here we go.

"No."

Liam sighs, "Zayn, I think that fight shouldn't get in the way of us because-"

I cut him off by a bitter laugh, "Us? Oh puh-lease, Liam there is no us. Never have, never will be" I cross my arms.

"Can you just shut the hell up for a second?!" He yells getting frustrated. "Jesus, you need to learn how to shut your damn mouth for a few seconds."

I jump a little and purse my lips.

"We both acted immature and stupid okay? And I want that to be left in the past because we can't go into this relationship-well fake relationship acting like this. People will get suspicious and not think we're a real couple, which you want us to be right?"

I nod.

"Okay then, then we just need to stop with all the bickering and act all lovey dovey and shit. At least til this whole thing is over with. We already screwed up at your family dinner, we have to make up for it. We have a shot at looking like a good couple and we have to take it. You have to work with me, Zayn. Then when the wedding's over we can go back to hating each other."

"I won't need to hate you because you'll be long gone and forgot, Mr. Payne" I grumble.

"See, there you go with the attitude again! What, do I have to spank you or something to get you to be obedient?"

That request and his tone of voice makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. God, what is going with me?

I gulp, "No."

"Well okay then, can we please just be nice to each other? Its what we have to do."

I sigh, "Fine okay."

Liam nods, "Good."

There's another silence for a few seconds until he breaks it again. "You know what I haven't called you in awhile?"
