*Zayn’s P.O.V*

Ya, her eyes are the ones I seen looking at the books near the bookshelf. I think she fell or something, I feel like a dick for not helping her but I guess she’s alright. I just ran away like a little pussy. Damn it! We could have chatted more. I shook my head at my stupidity and finally made it down to the alleyway.

“Here’s your book” I smirked, flopping the bag in the middle of the table. “What did you get?” Liam asked rubbing his hands on his pants. I nodded towards the book but Louis already had a hold of it pulling the book out, admiring the cover before bursting into a fit of laughter. “What’s a… pffttt” He clapped his hand over his face. “You did good Zayn” He praised while reaching into his leather jacket pulling out a $20, throwing it on the table. I grabbed it quickly and stuffed it in my jeans. They handed the book along the line laughing and shaking their heads. “The pictures in here are very graphic” Niall said flipping through the pages. “That’s what a vagina looks like Niall” Harry chuckled. “They had one about sex, you should have seen the pictures in that one” I chimed in. The boys shook their heads, grinning stupidly. “Why didn’t you get it? Or better yet, both of them?” Liam questioned. “Louis only asked for one book, and, it was awkward as hell. The girl that checked out my book was really cute, I think she thinks I’m some weirdo or something” I added. “How cute is she?” Niall asked leaning in. “Really, really cute. Like, a 20” I smiled, pulling out a cigarette and sticking it in my mouth.

*Aubrey’s P.O.V*

Zayn, Zayn, Zayn. Was all that kept running through my mind. Why was he so incredibly, hot, sexy, beautiful? I’m getting all these dirty thoughts that I haven’t really thought about anyone before. My heart started to slow down after he left. Yup, I think I officially fucked up the first time we met. But luckily, He’ll be coming back in a couple days. How many is a couple days exactly? Tomorrow, three days, three weeks? I wish I knew exactly when. I sighed lightly, leaning my elbow on the desk and my fist on my cheek. I turned around to sit back down when I noticed the change that belonged to Zayn. Shit! I meant to give him back the extra dollar when he gave me three dollars to buy the card. I grabbed the 4 quarters and ran towards the door.

Now outside, I looked around quickly. I finally spotted him walking into an alleyway not to far away from the Library. Phew, I can catch up to him. I paced down the Library steps and walked quickly towards the area Zayn walked. Before I turned inside I stopped, listening to a few voices that spoke, including Zayn. “Really, really cute. Like, a 20” I scooted my ear closer. What were they talking about? I heard the flick of something, A lighter? A match? I don’t know. I heard the sucking in of something then a slight huff “I don’t know she’s seems… innocent?” Then a bit more silence. “Isn’t innocent good?” Another man with an Irish sounding accent said. Someone sighed “Someone like her probably has a boyfriend” Zayn said. “That’s why you ask if she has one” Someone with a deep voice said, sounding annoyed. Wait, who are they talking about? Wait, it isn’t right for me to eavesdrop either. “Here we go” I gulped, And my heart felt like it was going to come out of my nose. I stepped inside the alley and cleared my throat “Zayn?” I asked quietly.

There were 4 other boys in here, including Zayn. His back was facing me, but he whirled around and his eyes widened. He had a cigarette in his mouth How incredibly sexy before he pulled it out, and put it behind his back. Smoke flew out of his mouth quickly; he waved his hand in the smoke, trying to make it disappear. I felt very unwelcomed instantly, his leather jacket, his hair, his everything was so perfect. And here I am once again, Disgusting. One guy with curly hair leant on the wall with his arms crossed, looking me up and down. Another guy sat at the far end of the table, a deck of cards sitting in front of him. He watched me, smirking evilly. They all were really hot, a bit scary even but Zayn, he was a sight, and I wasn’t afraid of him. They all wore black leather jackets, is this some kind of Gang? Yup, I’m going to die today. All eyes were on me, I looked down, blushing profusely. My heart beat sped up quickly.

My hand was all sweaty from holding the change so tightly. “Aubrey?” I looked up to Zayn, bits of smoke floated up from behind him. He smiled lightly, tilting his head to the side. “Uh, Hi Zayn. You Uh.. You forgot your change” Way to look like an idiot Aubrey! I stepped closer, holding out my closed hand to him. He smiled down to my fist and in relief, he opened his hand. Is he shaking? I set the coins in his palm, feeling tingling in our contact. I rubbed my palm on my jeans and left my arm limp to my side. “You could have kept it” He said coolly. I put a lock of hair behind my ear.

*Zayn’s P.O.V*

She pushed a lock of hair behind her hair. I want to do that. She started biting her lip Wow, how cute. I think she was nervous. Well, that makes two of us. We stood awkwardly; I know for a fact the other boys were watching us. From the side of me I heard a wolf whistle. I turned, looking in the direction in which it came. Niall. I gave him a dirty look. He shrugged innocently “Had to let it out, sorry” I looked back at Aubrey, who was as red as a tomato. I don’t think she gets this kind of attention. “Got a boyfriend?” Now, I turned to Harry. No, stop it! She’s mine. You cannot have her. “Oh um.. No” Aubrey squeaked. She pushed hair out of her face again. “Well, that’ll change soon” Harry chuckled. “Harry, shut up” I said in the nicest way I could manage. He shrugged and sat at the table behind us. Louis was folding the cards, eyeing us. Everything is getting awkward. “Care to join us?” Liam said, after being quiet the whole time he finally spoke. “Oh, no thank you. I have to get back to work” Aubrey said biting her lip once again. I know things are awkward but please don’t go.

*Aubrey’s P.O.V*

“Oh, no thank you. I have to get back to work” I said biting my lip. I’m so terrified, they’re gonna hurt me. I looked up to Zayn; he gave me puppy dog eyes. Please don’t do that, it’s too cute. “I better go” I hushed. With that I turned on my heel and walked out of the alley. I was halfway towards the Library already. You fucked up yet another encounter. Tears stained my cheeks. Why am I crying? “Wait!” I turned around quickly. Zayn. “Aubrey wait” He huffed stopping in front of me. I wiped my eyes quickly Maybe he won’t notice. “Oh my goodness, why are you crying?” He held me into a tight embrace, I smelled his scent. So perfect. “I’m sorry, I just.. That was overwhelming for me. I thought they were going to hurt me” I sniffled into his chest. “Trust me, they have never hurt a woman in their lives, and they don’t plan on it. Their quite nice actually” He said into my hair. We’ve only just met, and this is where we are. He’s now my favorite person in the world.

“I’m sorry” I muffled into his chest. He pulled apart, looking down to me “Why are you sorry?” He asked cautiously. “They could have easily hurt me” I shrugged. “I wouldn’t let them touch you” My stomach did flips. He gave me those eyes again. I smiled, trying to blink away my tears. He rubbed his thumb over my cheeks “Please don’t cry love” Love. Oh goodness. I wiped away the remains and giggled. “Thanks. I gotta go” I said quickly. I turned, running up the stairs to the Library. “Wait” I smiled before turning again “Yes?” Zayn was a few steps down from me. “Will you be here tomorrow?” He ran his hand through his hair. Is he blushing? “Yeah” I smiled and walked into the Library.

*Zayn’s P.O.V*

“Will you be here tomorrow?” Please say yes. Please. Please. Please. My stomach kept doing weird things. “Yeah” and with that she turned and went inside. Once out of sight, my mood instantly changed. Yes! I’m gonna see her tomorrow. I did a little dance, a few people giggling at me. But I really don’t care; I get to see Aubrey tomorrow! This day has gone by pretty well so far. I hopped down the last of the steps and pretty much danced all the way back to the alleyway. Then my mood dropped. Harry and Niall had their heads out watching me. “Is she your girl yet?” Harry asked happily. “Fuck off Harry” I pursed my lips. “What the hell did I do?” He held up his hands in defense. I shoved past him. “You all scared her. Especially you Harry” I pointed my finger at him. “And she isn’t my girl” I said quietly. “I was only trying to help” Harry sad a bit irritated. “She’s really hot and all, but she’s a bit awkward. Don’t cha think?” Louis asked folding his cards. “Zayn was awkward to. Because Zayn likes her” Niall chuckled, patting my back and making his way to the table. “What did you even say to her when you ran after her?” Liam asked before I could say anything to Niall’s previous comment. “Well, She was upset because you all scared her” I eyed Harry. “So I comforted her” I shrugged. “Aww, see. You do like her” Niall chuckled. “Aww” All the boys said in unison. Great, their all gonna make fun of me. “Shut up” I spit back. “Anything else?” Louis asked dealing the cards. Their playing Blackjack once again. “Nope” I lied, shaking my head. Harry threw his head back in laughter.
“Come on now, you pretty much did the fox trot all the way back here. What did you ask her on the steps?” Harry pushed forward, looking at his cards. “Did you ask her out?” Liam asked.

None of them looked at me when they asked these questions. “No” I furrowed my eyebrows. “I would of” Niall snorted. “Shut up” I said again. “Oh, getting all defensive over here” Harry cocked his head towards me. I punched him lightly in the arm and sat in between Harry and Liam. They got all quiet, they focused on their game. Which their just playing for fun for now. “Well?” Louis asked looking at his cards, raising an eyebrow. They are not going to drop this until they get all the information they need. I sighed heavily, resting my hand on my thigh which bounced up and down quickly “I asked her if she is going to be here tomorrow” I said a little too quietly. “What was that?” Harry moved his head closer to me “I didn’t hear what you said?” Harry said loudly. I rolled my eyes “I said, I asked her if she was going to be there tomorrow” I said louder, sighing. Are you guys done yet? “Aww” they said in unison again.

“She obviously likes you mate” Niall chimed. “How do you know?” I raised an eyebrow looking at him, of course he was admiring his cards. But he shook his head, sighing. He threw his cards down holding out his hand. He pointed to his pinky finger “She ran all the way out here, just to give you a lousy dollar that no one would of cared about” He pointed to his ring finger “She blushed a lot. So did you” He added. He pointed to his middle finger “She was really, really nervous” He gave a dumbass look “Must I say more? She obviously likes you dude. And you like her, so date” He said nonchalantly picking up his cards. “She was obviously nervous because you all intimidated her” I said swiftly. They sighed and shook their heads, diverting their attention back to the game.
~~~
We sat in silence for a bit, until Harry broke it. “She has a pretty mouth” He said evilly. I eyed him suspiciously Where was he going with this? The boys eyed him. “What have you been thinking about over there?” Louis asked, raising an eyebrow and smirking from across the table. “Oh you know, how her mouth would look around my d-“He muffled the last word in my palm. I gave him a disgusted look “You’re an asshole. Why are you so perverted?” I asked angrily. I released my hand “She probably gives good head” Harry said quickly. “You’re so disgusting” I got up from my chair quickly and walked towards the entrance, peering out. “Oh come on now Zayn. I was only kidding” Harry said lamely. “Don’t talk about her like that again Harry. She’s mine” I growled back. My back was towards them but I could tell they heard me. “Yup, he called her. He likes her” Niall chuckled behind me. Their right, she IS mine.
