Chapter 10

We went inside and I popped myself on the couch. Zayn got out some drinks and sat down beside me. We switched on the TV and the latest Vampire Diaries episode was on.

"Great." I said, sitting up straight and smiling, "I love this show."

"Great." Zayn said, "I love this show too!" With a hint of sarcasm.

I smiled and rolled my eyes at him.

We were 25 minutes into the show.

"Oh my god!" I screamed, "no!"

"Oh my god! No!" Zayn mimicked.

I slapped him gently and just then his phone rang. The Caller ID said Niall. Hold on... Wasn't that the blonde guy I met earlier on..?

"Er.. I gotta take this, it's my Mum." He said, exiting the room.

I nodded and thought for a while. Seriously? The least he could do was lie to me. I mean, he saw that I saw the ID yet he blatantly lied right to my face. I decided that I wasn't going to speak about the whole Niall thing. I'll just play along and see if he lies even more or coughs up the truth.

2 minutes later Zayn came back into the room, he had a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your mum?" I asked.

He sighed and fiddled with his hands, sitting down beside me.

"Okay. I'm not gonna lie- even though I already did. I'm sure we both know that you saw the ID and that was definitely not my Mum." He confessed.

I nodded, "unless your Mum's name is Niall like the blonde dude I met before- do you know him?"

"Yeah, Niall's a friend. And you met up with him before? When?" He asked.

I grabbed the remote and put the volume down.

"Just a few hours ago." I said.

Zayn nodded and his phone buzzed. He read the text and I was looking at his face the whole time. After reading the text he seemed... Tensed?

I sat up straight, "Zayn is something wrong? You seemed a little tense after reading that text."

He bit his lip, "you know, I think you should go to the grocery shop or something. I mean, we are out of food."

He ignored my question. What on earth is going on?

"Yh whatever, I'll go tomorrow. But you know, if there's something wrong you can tell me."

Just then the front door opened and closed.

"Shit." Zayn cursed, "quick go into the kitchen."

I was worried and confused, "no Zayn what the hell-"

I was cut off when a blonde girl came into the living room.

I was assuming it was Zayn's sister or something but when she gave him a quick kiss on the lip I wasn't so sure...

"Hey. Haven't seen you in a few days, have you missed me?" The girl said, jumping into Zayn's arms.

He stood there awkwardly. And I was standing there with my mouth open. He had a Girlfriend?

The blonde saw me and smiled.

"Hey, I'm Perrie. You are..?" She asked with a smile. Ugh.

I grabbed my purse and stared at Zayn while he avoided my gaze. History just has to repeat with me doesn't it?!

"And I am about to leave." I said to this Perrie girl, exiting the room and slamming the front door shut.

Except I didn't leave, I sat on his doorstep and cried my eyes out.

It was weird and so confusing because he was never my boyfriend yet I fell in love and he acted like he was single and I didn't even ask if he was and it just hurt so much.

I soon wiped my tears with the palm of my hands and sat there, thinking.

Was this Perrie a girlfriend? I should've asked before I stormed out. Maybe she was just a friend..?

I then heard some screaming.

"Why are you still doing this?" The voice sobbed, "why don't you understand and realise what your doing?"

"I told you! I'm doing this for us! Imagine the amount the money we both could have!" Zayn, I assumed, shouted back.

"Your a selfish prick you know that right?! Money is all you ever think about! Well how about caring for your girlfriend for a change! We're done!" Perrie screamed.

Then the front door opened and that Perrie girl stormed out, paused, then turned around to face me.

"Look, I don't know and I don't care if your together or just friends but trust me, if I were you, I'd keep away from him and his asshole friends." She said to me, wiping her eyes and turning back around to leave.

I watched her get into her car and drive away. What did she mean by keeping away..? And why were they arguing about some money? What is Zayn doing for the money? Thoughts clouded my mind and I finally had the courage to knock on his door.

Zayn opened the door and was surprised to see me.

"Sky! W-were you here the who-ole ti-ime? Did you h-hear everyth-" Zayn stuttered.

I fiddled with my hands, looking down at the floor which suddenly seemed so interesting.

I cleared my throat, "yh, um. I heard most of it." I said, still looking down.

We stood there awkwardly and I looked up at Zayn's honey brown eyes. It was like you were in a whole other world when you looked into them. The way his innocent, mysterious eyes stare at you takes your breath away and makes your heart beat go out of control. I knew for a fact that I have no control when it comes to being near him.

"Wanna come inside and... ehem, talk?" He asked.

I shook my head no.

"Let's.. Let's talk out here." I said, taking a deep breath.

He came out, shutting the door behind him. We sat down on his porch and sat in silence for the first two minutes.

"What about the money?" I asked longingly.

Zayn bit his lip and looked down.

"I was afraid you were going to ask that." He admitted.

ZAYN'S POV

Shit. Now what? I can't tell her everything now or I'll never get the money.

"I first dated Perrie first for the money only. This friend, also her ex-boyfriend, was paying me a heck of a lot of money to date her, so he knows that she's on good hands. I later stopped because I realised that this relationship was starting to get real and so I came clean to Perrie. She asked for some space and I told the friend of mine that I didn't want to do this anymore. We came back together and months later, it felt like our relationship was drifting away and the spark was almost gone so I decided to start dating her for the money again. But then I met you and to be honest, the only reason I started was for Perrie to find out again so we could break up and I could be with you."

I made up the first lie that came to my head, but to the look on her face I know she believes my stupid story.

SKYLYNN'S POV

Woah. Woah, woah, WOAH!

"So what do you say? Me and you?" Zayn asked, looking at me in the eye.

This was all too.. WOAH! I couldn't even find the right word for all this. Weird? Chaos? Weird-aos?

I thought about it for a while. That's what Perrie meant when she said to keep away. But the realisation that Zayn wanted to date for the money again just to break up with her so he could be with me makes me wanna be with him. I mean, no one has done that for me.

"I'd like that." I smiled, taking his hand in mine.
