Chapter 10

30th December 2011

Zayn POV

‘Hey, I came back to London a few days early. What are you doing tomorrow night babe? XXX’ I text Perrie. I was supposed to be leaving Bradford after New Year but I left early because Louis is having a party and my sisters were going to parties anyway. ‘I’m in Newcastle but I can get Jade to drive me back tonight. Why whats happening? Xxx’ she texts back.

‘Louis is havin a party if you wanna come. The rest of the girls are invited too xxx’

‘Yeah that’s cool. What time? Xxx’

‘Well I’ll pick you all up from your house at around 9? Xxx’

‘Ok cool see you then baba xxx’

I pick up the phone and dial Louis number. “Hey bro,” he answers.

“Hi mate, how are you?”

“Yeh I’m alright, just getting ready for the party tomorrow.”

“Oh awesome. You need any help?”

“That’d be great. The ice rink is just being delivered.”

“Jesus Louis! An ice rink?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Ha nothing. Well anyway, I wanted to ask if it was okay that I invited the Little Mix girls to the party.”

“Yeah that is fine. I asked Harry to ask Jade if they wanted to come.”

“Why would Harry ask Jade?”

“You didn’t know? They’re sort of having a thing.”

“A thing?”

“Yeah they’ve been on a few dates and I they’ve seen each other quite a bit over Christmas.”

“Oh jesus I had no idea.”

“Yeah well I gotta get back to planning. Are you coming over or not?”

“Yeah I’ll be there in a bit, just gotta get dressed.”

“Zayn it’s 3 o’clock. Why aren’t you dressed yet?”

“Just woke up. Anyway see ya bro.”

“See ya.”

Harry and Jade? Is he trying to steal my thunder. Perrie’s gonna thing I’m pathetic if they’ve already been on a few dates. Urgh that boy. Always making me look bad. I whip on my trackies and hoodie and call Paul.

“Yo Paul. Can I get a lift to Louis’ house?”

“This isn’t a bloody taxi service.”

“Sowwy.”

“I’ll be there in 5. Be ready!”

31st December 2011

I’m on my way to Perrie’s house to pick them up. I’m a little bit early because I wanna make a good impression. As I get out the car I check my hair in the side mirror and make may way up the steps to the front of the girls’ flat complex. As I ring the bell I can hear Perrie shouting to Jade, “bloody hell Jade he’s here already. Can you get the door? Say I’ll be down in a minute.”

Jade opens the door and says, “Hi Zayn. She’ll be down in a minute, come in.” And she gives me a hug.

“You look lovely,” I say to Jade as she shows me into the kitchen.

“Thank you, you don’t look too bad yourself. D’you wanna drink?”

“Nah I’m alright ta. So… excited to see Harry?”

“Ha I guess.”

“What do you mean ‘you guess’?”

“Well yeah but there will be loads of other girls there so I’ll let him do is own thing.”

“Don’t be silly, he’s so into you,” I say, trying to reassure her. She bends her head down and goes bright red. “Are the other girls not coming?” I ask.

“No they’re with their families tonight,” she says. “I’ll go and hurry Perrie up,” she tells me as she walks to the bottom of the stairs. “Per come on. We’re waiting,” she shouts up the stairs.

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” she says as I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I walk out of the kitchen and peep my head round the corner and up the stairs.

“Holy shit,” I say accidently out loud. “I mean… you look beautiful.”

“Hmm thank you,” she said as she walked down the rest of the stairs. She was wearing a pastel green dress that was quite short and she was wearing white high heels. She walks up to me and I kiss her on the cheek.

I grab her hand and say, “lets go then.” And I lead her out the house. I open the back seat door for her and Jade and they slide in. I get in the driving seat and turn around saying, “welcome ladies. I shall be your chauffeur for the night.”

“You are such a geek,” Perrie says as I give the girls a cheeky wink.

When we get to the party I open the door for Perrie and before I can get to Jade’s door Harry has appeared from nowhere and opened it for her.

“Hey cutie,” he says as he pecks her on the lips.

“Where the hell is my hello?” I ask jokingly.

“Oh so sorry,” Harry says as he runs round the side of the car and pecks me on the cheek. “And hello to you too Perrie,” he says and gives me a big hug.

I grab Perrie’s hand and we make our way into the party with Harry and Jade just behind us.

“Guys!” Louis shouts as he makes his way over to us with Eleanor, his girlfriend.

As we all greet each other Louis says, “Perrie and Jade this is my girlfriend Eleanor and Eleanor this is Perrie and Jade.”

“Hey do you girls wanna come get a drink?” Eleanor asks Perrie and Jade.

“Yeah sure. I’ll see you later Zayn,” Perrie says as she lets go of my hand and her and Jade follow Eleanor into the kitchen.

“So. This is a nice little double date,” Louis says, teasing me and Harry.

“Quite you,” Harry says as he pokes Louis’ stomach.

“I’m sorry Eleanor has stolen Perrie from you Zayn,” Louis says.

“It is ok,” I say. I was just happy to be able to walk into a party holding hands with someone like Perrie Edwards.

Perrie POV

Eleanor got me and Jade a glass of champagne and I don’t normally drink but I will tonight. “So how long have you been Zayn’s girlfriend?” Eleanor asks me.

“Oh no. I’m not his girlfriend. I don’t know if he likes me that much yet,” I say.

“God he definitely does. I’ve never seen him so happy,” she says. I look over to where Zayn is and see him smiling with the boys.

Me, Eleanor and Jade spoke for ages before a girl with long brown hair came over to us. “Hi, I’m Katy,” she says, introducing herself. “Hi, I’m Eleanor and this is Jade and Perrie,” Eleanor says. “Well I was just wondering if I could have a quick word with Perrie,” Katy says. “Um yeah sure,” I say as Jade and Eleanor move slightly away, but still able to hear.

“Well I saw you come in with Zayn tonight,” she says.

“Yeah.”

“I thought you should know that about a month ago I slept with Zayn,” she says. I stand there shocked and Eleanor barges in.

“Excuse me. Who do you think you are coming up to a girl at a party and trying to ruin her night?” Eleanor says, starting to shout at the girl.

“I’m really sorry,” the girl says, still talking to me. “I never realized he had a girlfriend.”

“I’m not his girlfriend,” I say when I can finally get my words out. I feel tears start to prick up in my eyes. I’m so embarrassed.

“I think it’s time for you to go,” Eleanor says loudly and many people in the room turn to look at what is happening. The girl walks off and Eleanor grabs my hand, “Come on lets go outside,” she says, leading me out of the kitchen and out onto the patio. Jade follows and grabs a tissue so she can make sure my make up doesn’t smudge.

“Trust me, girls say that all the time and it’s always bullshit. They always tell me that. You should probably talk to Zayn about it,” Eleanor advises me once we get outside.

“It’s fine. It’s not a big deal. He can sleep with whatever slut he wants to sleep with. I’m not his girlfriend or anything.”
