Malik's Daughter
Chapter 10 - Chinese and Arguments
Zayn’s POV
I see Ellie run off into the distance. I shout for her but I know it’s no use. I slump onto the grass sighing putting my hand through my black hair
After a while I stand up walking back to my apartment. I walk in and see Natasha watching TV
“Hey baby, where have you been” she asks looking at me
“Um just for a walk” I say sitting down next to her “Um babe, I have a question” I ask nervously. Natasha looks at me with excitement
“What” she says smiling
“What do you think about kids” her smile drops and frowns
“Kids, well they are not on my list. I have no problem it’s just I hate kids. As babies they are mucky, scream, and make the place a mess then as a teenager they are stroppy and annoying. You agree with me” Natasha says holding my arm
“Um yeah” I mutter. I don’t want another argument
“Well I am ordering Chinese, what do you want” I ask standing up
“I will have noodles and salad but without the sauce” Natasha says
“So plain noodles and salad” I say getting my phone out
“Yes I am on a diet. I gained 2 pounds yesterday from eating that pizza you got” Natasha says. God, what is the matter with her sometimes
I ring the Chinese place and after a couple of rings they answer
“Hello and welcome to George’s wok, how may I help you” the man on the phone asks
“Hey, can I have rice, prawns in OK and noodles with salad without the sauce” I say
“So noodles and salad” he says confused
“Yeah” I say
“Um would you like it brought or would you like to pick it up” he asks
“I will pick it up” I say. I hang up and grab my wallet
“Why are you going? They have people for that” Natasha says
“Yeah well I would rather get off my butt and walk” I say annoyed
“Are you calling me lazy” before I hear another word I slam my apartment door. I walk down the apartment complex and down the streets to George’s Wok. It is nearby so not much of walking distance
I arrive at the Chinese takeaway place and wait in the line
“That will be £16.25 please” I give him a £20 and grab my bag. I get the change then leave going back down the street. From the street I see a girl curled up crying. I then notice who it is; it’s Ellie.
I cross the road and stand in front of her
“Ellie” she lifts her head and I see her tear stained face. She stands up preparing to run
“Don’t run” I say. She stops
“What do you want” she says wiping the tears from her face
“Well I see a crying girl and I want to help her” I say giving her a small smile
“Why are you not at home” I ask
“I don’t want to see my mum” she says
“Why, she is your mother” I say
“Who has lied to me for 14 years? No mother does that” I say
“She just...”
“Don’t you dare say she was protecting me? I have had enough of that crap. She told me my dad was dead and now I find out that you could possibly but my father. Not on my wish list” Ellie says sighing
“Why don’t you come to my apartment? I don’t really like you being her alone in the dark” I say
“Wow, you already acting like my dad” Ellie says smiling weakly. I smile back and we walk along the streets. After some silence Ellie starts talking
“So when did you meet my mum” Ellie asks looking up at me
“Well I was in One direction as you know and your mum was in Little Mix. Her and your aunts were in X factor; it was a singing competition. One direction had come 3rd the year before and had done pretty good for ourselves. Anyway Little Mix and other people in the competition were doing a charity single and One direction and another group JLS were doing it as well. I kind of fancied your mum beforehand then when we met we hit it off. We went on dates then the public found out and then after 2 years we broke up” Zayn says
“Oh” Ellie says twiddling her thumbs; just like Perrie
“Do you have a girlfriend now” she asks
“Yeah, her name is Natasha. We live together” Ellie looks shocked
“I shouldn’t come over” I say
“She won’t mind” actually she might
“And what are you going to say. Hey Natasha, this is a girl who might be my daughter from my ex girlfriend. Yeah she will be leaping the joy” Ellie says
“Just calm down” I say. We walk into the apartment complex and to my apartment. I open the door and we walk in
“Hey babe, wher... who is that” Natasha says pointing at Ellie
“It’s rude to point” Ellie says. Natasha looks even more pissed
“Natasha, remember before when we were talking about kids” I say walking over to me
“Yes and you agreed that you hated them” I sigh
“You hate kids” Ellie says shocked. Oh shit. Suddenly my phone starts to buzz. I look at it; it was Niall. I answer it
"Niall this isn't a good time" I say looking at the 2 angry woman
"Great, we are going on tour with Little Mix"
