Chapter 7
*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
“Thanks again Zayn” I smiled brightly. He still sat on his bike while I stood a few steps away, watching him. “That was fun, we should do it again” He mentioned. I would love that. “Yeah, we should” I nodded. He now stood in front of me, hovering above like a skyscraper. He rested his hand on my shoulder “So, I’ll see you later?” He rose an eyebrow. My arm burned from his touch. It feels amazing. “Yeah, I’ll see you later then” I shrugged. He held my arm a bit tighter, not enough to hurt but enough to make me notice. “I mean like, tonight. Maybe, you come over or..” He wants me to come over? I mean that’s great but.. Why doesn’t he come over to my place? Allison will want to meet him. “Oh, why don’t.. why don’t you come over to my place tonight? And you can bring the others too, if they want” I pointed towards the alley.
Yeah, I guess I’ll give them another try. Everyone deserves a second chance. Plus, Zayn said he wouldn’t let anything happen to me. “Yeah, come over and I’ll make dinner” I side smirked. I can make a pretty good supper. His face instantly lit up “What time sounds good?” I pursed my lips, thinking hard of a time. “Does 7 sound okay?” I know it’s a bit late, but we need time to get ready. He tilted his head to the side, giving me that oh so sexy smirk. “It’s perfect” He rubbed my shoulder lightly, making me get goose bumps. “Alright, see you then” I turned on my heel, walking up the steps to the Library. Before I stepped through the door, I looked to see Zayn smiling that perfect smile. I waved lightly, to receive the same action from him.
*Zayn’s P.O.V*
Once she went through the doors I dashed for the alley way, almost tripping on my own two feet. There they were, sitting there playing cards. “Guys!” I yelped, out of breath. They all looked up with their eyebrows raised. “Yes Zayn?” Harry asked, without looking away from his cards. “Are any of you doing anything tonight? Good, because we’re going to Aubrey’s for dinner” I said before they could answer, resting my hands on the back of one of the empty chairs. Niall tilted his head, looking up through his lashes “Wait a minute; Aubrey invited us for dinner at her house tonight?” He pointed his thumb towards himself. I nodded my head quickly, still out of breath. “Hell yeah, I’m in” Of course Niall would agree. It’s food. “Guys?” I looked at the others pleadingly.
“Yeah, I’ll go” Louis smiled slimly. “Sounds like fun” Liam chimed. We all glanced towards the infamous Harold. He eyed each one of us quickly “What?” I ran my hand threw my hair, a bit agitated “If you say anything to make her upset, I will stick my foot so far up your ass you’ll see my toes stick out of your mouth” I pointed a finger in his face. Harry snorted through his nose, showing off his dimply smile. “Alright, alright. I won’t say anything ‘to’ perverted to her” He emphasized. “I mean it Harry, say anything to upset her..”-“Alright Zayn. I’ll keep my mouth shut” He put his hands up in defense.
*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
“Allison? I’m home!” I called, setting down a few things I had to get at the store for Dinner tonight. “Hey Aubrey!” She replied, walking in through the archway. “So, long story short. Remember Zayn? Well, I invited him and his friends to come and have Dinner with us. Sound good? Okay good.” Her eyes widened to my sudden outburst. “Aubrey, that’s great! Are you two dating yet?” She jumped around, clapping her hands giddily. “Well, no. We’re just friends” I shrugged lamely. “I hope something happens between you two. I was starting to worry about you” She trailed off, sitting on the stool at the counter. “Has he taken you out for a date or anything yet?” She asked simply. I smiled to myself, recalling earlier today while putting the chicken on the counter. “Well..” I smiled brighter now. Her mouth dropped
“Aubrey! You two have gone out but you haven’t told me about it!?” She looked playfully hurt. “We only went out for a friendly lunch today..” I pointed out, shrugging once again. “Aubrey, he’s obviously interested if he’s taking you out for lunches”-“Allison, it was just a friendly lunch” I reassured her. She rolled her eyes “I’m telling you, he likes you” She crossed her arms. “Just go get ready before they get here” I chuckled, trying to shoo her off. She hopped off the stool “I see it happening Aubrey! Just you wait” She called waving her finger in the air before shutting the door to her room.

I glanced up to the clock swiftly. 10 minutes. I had put on my nice pair of skinny jeans, my nice flowing long shirt, it had a colored dog on the front. I wore my best black sandals to complete my set. I did my hair nice, not to fancy but not too shabby either. I did my makeup all nice too. I also put on some earrings with my nice cross necklace I got for my Birthday from my mom last year. I should give her a call sometime. I haven’t heard from her in a while. I hope Zayn thinks I look good for tonight. Zayn had called a little while ago to ask for my address. I guess I forgot to give it to him earlier. Oops. “Well, don’t you look nice for tonight” Allison pointed out, leaning on the archway in the kitchen. I glanced over my shoulder “You look nice too” I nodded happily. “Why don’t-“A few light knocks echoed through the kitchen. “That must be them.” I said as Allison made her way to the door, opening it widely letting the cool air in.
*Zayn’s P.O.V*
We had parked our bikes on the side of the road, since there wasn’t any room in Aubrey’s driveway. What if this isn’t her address? What if this is just some kind of joke? In her mind she’s probably going “That Zayn kid is ridiculous. I’m too good for him. He thinks he has a chance with me? No way” Evil laughter echoed in my mind. “You alright mate?” Liam pat me on my back. I cleared my throat “Uh... Yeah. I’m fine. Let’s do this” I said with the very little confidence I had. We all ended up walking in a line, all of them following behind me. I started to walk extra slow, nervousness setting in. My gut was doing flips and cartwheels. Do I look good? Aubrey will think I look like a scum. My hair looks bad. Doesn’t it? My hands are shaking, I can’t do this. I don’t think I can do this. Nope, let’s turn around. Let’s go back. I turned around quickly, wanting to head back to my bike. But was grabbed on my arms by the others. “No, no. You can do this. We’re all here with you dude. You’ll be fine” Liam said trying to calm me down.
“I just forgot something on my bike” I tried lying, but failed horribly. They practically dragged me up the steps. “I’m not hungry anymore. Let’s leave” I chuckled nervously. “Sucks to suck” Louis laughed. Here we are. Standing in front of her door, waiting to do something. “Are you going to knock dumbass?” Liam pointed to the door. “Nope” I admitted. “Do it” He gritted his teeth obviously annoyed. I watched the door anxiously, why can’t we just go back? Please God, I’ll eat my veggies from now on If I can just go back. I heard an annoyed sigh to the side of me, before I knew it. Harry’s hand made a fist and knocked lightly on the door. I think my heart has stopped, this is it. This is my death. I’m just gonna collapse on the floor, I cannot face her. She makes it hard for me to even speak. How can I handle to be at her home?
The door opened quickly, my heart dropping to my feet. This isn’t Aubrey. This is a blue eyed girl, pretty but. Aubrey. Someone pat me on my back, I think it was Niall, obviously sad for me. She lied to me, I knew it. I’m such an idiot. Of course, Aubrey is too good for me. Obviously. Harry did a wolf whistle to the girl. She giggled and faced me once again“You’re Zayn right?” She pointed her finger towards me. I cleared my throat “Uh.. Yeah” I looked to the ground. I can’t believe Aubrey lied to me. I knew it. “Zayn!” That familiar voice running through my ears. The blue eyed girl opened the door wider. There she is. A smile instantly played across my face. “Hey, Aubrey” I chuckled lightly, reluctance running through my body.
“Well come on in” She motioned her hand for us to come in. Allison closed the door behind us once we entered. “Dinner isn’t ready yet, it’ll be done soon” She called, walking behind the counter stirring something in a pot. “Mmm, Smells divine” Niall sniffed the air playfully. The blue eyed girl chuckled quietly behind us. Aubrey now stood in front of us, a bright smile on her lips. God she’s beautiful. That shirt looks great on her. I mean she looks amazing in all of her clothes. But I think this may be my favorite one on her so far.
“So, this is Allison. My Best friend” Aubrey introduced the blue eyed girl, putting her arm on her shoulder. That was my queue to introduce the four idiots behind me. I cleared my throat, stepping aside to see them better “This is Louis” He nodded smugly, then holding out his hand “Nice to meet you two” Always the formal one. They shook his hand, smiling and nodding. “Niall” He gave a small wave. He’s incredibly shy. But once he’s comfortable, he’s fine. “Awe how cute” Allison giggled like a child. Niall started to blush. I chuckled. “Harry” Purposely smacking him hard on his back. “Nice to meet you ladies” He grunted, smacking me back on mine. My hand still rested on his back, hitting him once again “Harold” I smiled innocently. He sighed, still staring at the girls “Zay-“I guess I’ll just introduce myself you fuck bucket” Liam held his hand out. “Excuse my mouth, and my dumbass friends. I’m Liam” I let go of Harry, watching Aubrey’s beautiful face as she shook his hand. He shook Allison’s hand too, but she still held his hand and squinted up to him.
“What did you say your name was?”
“Uh Liam” They still held hands in the shake.
Her eyes widened “What’s your last name?” The rest of us stood awkwardly, watching.
“Payne?” Liam raised an eyebrow.
Allison’s mouth dropped, realization hitting her face. “Liam. It’s me, Ally. Allison! We went to Elementary school together. I used to call you Paynie and you hated it!” She laughed. Whoa, wait a minute. What? I stood in shock, I’m pretty sure the others did too. Liam’s mouth also dropped. “Allison Brunt!? Oh my goodness it’s been years” They were now enveloped into a hug. So they know each other? “Whoa wait, you two know each other?” Aubrey reading my mind pointed to them both, chuckling. “Aubrey, Liam and I went to elementary school together. We were like frenemies” She looked up to Liam who had his arm around her waist. “It’s been years Ally, how have you been?” He asked glancing down to the small girl.
“Well, why don’t you guys wait in the living room while I finish things up? Make yourselves at home” Aubrey nodded through the archway of her lovely home. Wait, no. I don’t want to wait in there. I want to be here with you. They all started to walk into the living room, Liam turned swiftly whispering into my ear “Help her cook” He pat me on my shoulder, giving me advice as he walked away with Allison by his side.
*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
Okay I guess I misjudged them. They all seem alright, Allison seems to be hitting it off pretty well with the Liam character. I never knew they were childhood friends. It’s a small world after all. I walked back behind the counter with a secret smile on my lips as I stir the gravy. A pair of large hands rested on my shoulders, I already know who’s they were. Their thumbs rubbed little circles, giving me shivers. Making me get goose bumps and my skin crawling. “Do you need help?” He whispered huskily in my ear. Oh yeah, I’m getting wet down there just from this little attention I’m receiving. Can you just kiss me until I can’t breathe? Maybe make out with me a little bit, rip off my clothes and fuck me on the counter top? Aubrey! What!? No fucking until you’ve kissed and you know for sure he won’t be that first mistake. Can my thoughts not ruin my fantasies please? “That would be great. Thank you” I glanced up to those big beautiful hazel eyes. His breath fanned my orbs “What do you need?” He smiled. “Could you take the potatoes out of the pot and mix them?” I hit the wooden spoon on the rim and set it down.
He removed his hands as I lightly wriggled free, opening up the top cupboard and reaching for the mixer. “Could you get that for me?” I pointed up above. “Yeah” He smiled, his eyes crinkling on the sides. He didn’t even have to reach far. Son of a bitch. Why do I have to be so short? Next was the strainer I can do this part. I bent over, grabbing the strainer from underneath. I set it on the counter in front of Zayn. “Just strain the potatoes and then mix them” I said simply. “Okay” He nodded and got right to work. I went to attending the chicken, flipping them to hear the sound of them sizzling. We worked side by side, and every so often I would glance over just to see his muscles flex, the arches up and down his arm moving. I just want to run my hands along his biceps, his neck, and down his torso. Just to touch him like that would be a luxury. Everything seemed to be in a slow motion.
His hair looks perfect, up in that ‘do’ that makes him look so hot. Licking his lips out of concentration while he worked. His Adams apple bobbing up and down from swallowing every now and again. That stubble along his face, I would love to feel that in between my thighs. I closed my eyes for a quick second to try and imagine that happening. I gulped down that lump in my throat, trying to slow down my heart beat. Stop thinking like that before you fall to the floor. I gave him one last look, noticing those tattoos on his arm. They’re so cool. What do they mean? “Huh?” I was caught staring at his lower arm. I looked up at him nervously, biting my lip “Oh uh.. nothing” I tried maneuvering my eyes back to the chicken. “Which one do you want to know about?” He asked nicely. “No Zayn. I.. It’s none of my business. I didn’t mean to ask” It was a slip up, I’m sorry. I don’t want to come off as nosy. “Aubrey. It’s completely fine. I don’t mind” He insisted. I sighed “What does that one mean?” I pointed to the ‘Zap!’ tattoo, still biting my lip nervously. “Promise not to laugh?” He chuckled. “Depends” I shrugged smiling, letting him know that I’m only playing around. “Well, I was a big comic book nerd. I always had seen life kind of like a comic book, live life to the fullest, it could be fun” He gave me a smirk, shrugging and adding some butter and salt into the potatoes.
Wow, how interesting. I want a tattoo. “That’s really cool Zayn” I pointed out, admiring what he said. “If you don’t mind me asking.. Do you have any tattoos?” He tilted his head to the side, serious plastered on his pretty face. I gave him my full attention, tilting my head up, watching his lips then looking into his eyes. “No.. But I would love to get one” I added, Maybe making it sound just a bit sexy. He blinked a few times, another smile playing on his lips “Maybe.. if you want.. I’ll take you to get one” He rose an eyebrow, biting his lip. How can I say no to you? “Yeah.. that’ll be fun” of course I smiled to show my appreciation and went back to attending the green beans on the stove. I tried to pay no attention to him, all I heard was him clearing his throat and then standing next to me, finishing up the potatoes.
*Zayn’s P.O.V*
“Is there anything we can help you with? Because I’ve heard enough of those two ‘catching up’ out there” Aubrey and I turned around to see a flustered Louis, Niall and Harry sitting at the island. She chuckled “I’m sure we can find something for you to do” She replied drastically. “All they keep talking about in there is when they used to nag on each other” Niall exclaimed, rolling his eyes. Aubrey giggled opening up the top cupboard “Do you guys want to set the table?”
“That’s fine” Louis nodded.
“The plates are up here” She pointed up in a cupboard. “The cups are in this one over here” Tiptoeing to show them. “And the silverware are in this drawer” She explained, opening up one. “Go ahead and grab everything while we finish up in here” She said going back to the stove I stood by. The boys hoisted themselves off the stools, walking by us to get to the cupboards and drawer. Niall pat me on my back as he went by, Harry stopped and made a grabbing motion towards Aubrey’s ass. I smacked his hand away quickly, giving him the evil eye as he walked away laughing. She turned around quickly, glancing to me and to Harry with a curious look on her face. I shrugged and picked the bowl of potatoes up, showing her they were done and setting them on the island behind us. “I bet you 10 bucks that Allison and Liam will be fu-“ All of us glared at him, except Aubrey who smiled and worked on the chicken.
He cleared his throat “I mean.. messing around in at least a week” He gave us a goofy smile, looking for reassurance. “You mean fucking. Harry” Aubrey pointed out of nowhere. “See, she doesn’t care” Harry looked at us happily. Harry grabbed the plates and walked by us “I like you Aubrey” He said obviously as he walked into the other room. “Just ignore Harry. He’s a fuck head” Louis pat her on the shoulder walking away, with the others following behind him. Now it’s just her and I again Yess! “You know you can say whatever you want around me. I don’t care” She half smiled as she glanced up from her lashes. “How are the girls?” She asked, now putting the chicken on a plate. “They’re good. Thank you Aubrey” She shrugged “Anytime” But really though, thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you. “Come on, grab the potatoes” She nodded her head to the bowl as she headed out, carrying the plate of chicken in hand.
“Hope it’s alright” Louis shrugged, motioning to the table as we entered the dining room. “It’s perfect. Thank you” Aubrey preached as she set the plate on the table, me setting the potatoes right next to it. She leant up, giving him a small peck to his cheek in appreciation. “Hey I helped” Niall gave a pouty face, she chuckled “Of course you did” giving him one on his cheek as well. “Ahemm” Harry stood on the other side of the table, arms crossed. I furrowed my eyebrows towards him Watch yourself Styles. She’s mine. I yelled with my eyes. Aubrey giggled and gave him a super quick one Ha-ha. Bitch. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, squeezing her tightly.
Fuck. No. This isn’t fair. Jealousy enflaming through my body. “You’ll be fine Zayn” Louis whispered in my ear. He must have noticed. Shit. Because if he can notice, then everyone else can notice. “Well this looks delicious!” Liam clapped his hands together in satisfaction behind us.
*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
“We should dig in before it gets cold” I offered as I let go of Harry. “Seating arrangements” Louis called. What? I snickered quietly to myself as he leant on the end chair. “I’ll sit here since I’m pretty sure I’m the oldest” He moved to the next chair. “Niall here” He pointed as Niall sat in the chair. Haha, how funny. Louis is the eldest but seems to be the most childish. “Zayn’s here” He pointed as he went to the next end chair, gleaming like a little kid. “Aubrey here of course” He said obviously. “Allison.. Liam.. and you know. Harry” He said the last part lamely that made me laugh out loud. “Looks good to me” As I went to sit where Louis directed. Everyone got all comfy in their seats and started eating.

“Dinner was amazing. Thank you” Louis said holding out his arms, I reluctantly gave him a big hug. “Thank you for coming” I replied. “I’m gonna have to steal you so you can make me my personal meals” Niall laughed, putting his arm on my shoulder. “Thanks Niall” I chuckled. “That was great babe. Hope to see you again soon” Harry winked as he walked out the door. I was captured into a strong pair of arms being held from behind around my waist. Zayn. “Thank you for coming” I whispered. He rested his head on my shoulder “Thank you for inviting me. And thanks for dealing with my dumbass friends” He added. I chuckled “They’re alright” I shrugged. They really aren’t that bad, they’re pretty cool actually. “Come again?” I asked as we rocked back and forth lightly. Is it bad that I want to stay like this forever? I wouldn’t even mind.
My back pressed against his chest. This is an amazing feeling. Stay with me pretty please? “I would love too” He whispered in my ear once again. My lower belly region is feeling weird. You better leave Zayn before I fuck you… Hard. “I’ll see you later” I felt those familiar lips on my cheek once again. Haha, yup. I think I may need to go change my underwear. “Bye” I hushed as I lightly closed the door behind him. “Bye Aubrey” A happy Liam said behind me, making me jump a little. “I thought you left. Bye Liam” I opened the door swiftly. He nodded as he walked out, I closed the door quickly. “Allison!?” I called while walking into the living room. “Hey! Guess what!?” She called while sitting on the couch. “Yeah?” I asked sadly. She pursed her lips, waiting to tell me. “Liam asked me on a date!” She clapped giddily. “That’s awesome!” I said not to thrilled. “What’s wrong Aub?” She asked sitting next to me. “I don’t think Zayn likes me” I sighed sadly.
*Zayn’s P.O.V*
“Zayn!?” Oh shit. Get on the bike quickly. Drive away before he- “I know for a fact you didn’t ask her” Liam stood there, crossing his arms. “I-I will”-“No, you’ll do it now. You told us you would” He looked a bit angry. “I asked Allison. So it’s now your turn”-“But Liammm” I whined. “You told us ‘Tonight is the night I’ll do it guys’” He tried mimicking me. The other three watching me with their heads shaking. Ughhh. Why does he always have to be right? “Do it before we drag you back” He demanded. “Fine” I huffed, while walking back to her house.
I walked up her steps slowly, giving a glare back to the others who sat watching me expectantly. Just do it. It won’t be that bad. Right? Before I knew it, I knocked three times on her door. Oh shit! Quick turn around! Three seconds went by and still no answer Okay she’s not home. God is real! Phew. Now I can leave. The door opened up quickly to a green eyed Aubrey. Satan is real too. Shit. “Um, uh, hi Aubrey” I looked away from her nervously, trying to contain my heartbeat. “Hello Zayn?” She gave me a questioning look. Just ask her the question and get it over with. Or pussy out. Your choice. But I’d rather you ask her before Liam kicks your ass. Zayn, you have been wanting to do this since you first met. So do it! I sighed heavily, now resting my hands on the doorway, leaning on it funnily. “Okay. I’m just gonna come out with it” I said barely looking at her. For fucking sakes, just do it you twat! She smiled, but still looked at me questioningly. Please say yes Aubrey.
“Will you go on a date with me?”

*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
“Thanks again Zayn” I smiled brightly. He still sat on his bike while I stood a few steps away, watching him. “That was fun, we should do it again” He mentioned. I would love that. “Yeah, we should” I nodded. He now stood in front of me, hovering above like a skyscraper. He rested his hand on my shoulder “So, I’ll see you later?” He rose an eyebrow.

She giggled and faced me once again“You’re Zayn right?” She pointed her finger towards me. I cleared my throat “Uh.. Yeah” I looked to the ground. I can’t believe Aubrey lied to me. I knew it. “Zayn!” That familiar voice running through my ears. The blue eyed girl opened the door wider. There she is. A smile instantly played across my face. “Hey, Aubrey” I chuckled lightly, reluctance running through my body.
“Well come on in” She motioned her hand for us to come in. Allison closed the door behind us once we entered. “Dinner isn’t ready yet, it’ll be done soon” She called, walking behind the counter stirring something in a pot. “Mmm, Smells divine” Niall sniffed the air playfully. The blue eyed girl chuckled quietly behind us. Aubrey now stood in front of us, a bright smile on her lips. God she’s beautiful. That shirt looks great on her. I mean she looks amazing in all of her clothes. But I think this may be my favorite one on her so far.
“So, this is Allison. My Best friend” Aubrey introduced the blue eyed girl, putting her arm on her shoulder. That was my queue to introduce the four idiots behind me. I cleared my throat, stepping aside to see them better “This is Louis” He nodded smugly, then holding out his hand “Nice to meet you two” Always the formal one. They shook his hand, smiling and nodding. “Niall” He gave a small wave. He’s incredibly shy. But once he’s comfortable, he’s fine. “Awe how cute” Allison giggled like a child. Niall started to blush. I chuckled. “Harry” Purposely smacking him hard on his back. “Nice to meet you ladies” He grunted, smacking me back on mine. My hand still rested on his back, hitting him once again “Harold” I smiled innocently. He sighed, still staring at the girls “Zay-“I guess I’ll just introduce myself you fuck bucket” Liam held his hand out. “Excuse my mouth, and my dumbass friends. I’m Liam” I let go of Harry, watching Aubrey’s beautiful face as she shook his hand. He shook Allison’s hand too, but she still held his hand and squinted up to him.
“What did you say your name was?”
“Uh Liam” They still held hands in the shake.
Her eyes widened “What’s your last name?” The rest of us stood awkwardly, watching.
“Payne?” Liam raised an eyebrow.
Allison’s mouth dropped, realization hitting her face. “Liam. It’s me, Ally. Allison! We went to Elementary school together. I used to call you Paynie and you hated it!” She laughed. Whoa, wait a minute. What? I stood in shock, I’m pretty sure the others did too. Liam’s mouth also dropped. “Allison Brunt!? Oh my goodness it’s been years” They were now enveloped into a hug. So they know each other? “Whoa wait, you two know each other?” Aubrey reading my mind pointed to them both, chuckling. “Aubrey, Liam and I went to elementary school together. We were like frenemies” She looked up to Liam who had his arm around her waist. “It’s been years Ally, how have you been?” He asked glancing down to the small girl.
“Well, why don’t you guys wait in the living room while I finish things up? Make yourselves at home” Aubrey nodded through the archway of her lovely home. Wait, no. I don’t want to wait in there. I want to be here with you. They all started to walk into the living room, Liam turned swiftly whispering into my ear “Help her cook” He pat me on my shoulder, giving me advice as he walked away with Allison by his side.
*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
Okay I guess I misjudged them. They all seem alright, Allison seems to be hitting it off pretty well with the Liam character. I never knew they were childhood friends. It’s a small world after all. I walked back behind the counter with a secret smile on my lips as I stir the gravy. A pair of large hands rested on my shoulders, I already know who’s they were. Their thumbs rubbed little circles, giving me shivers. Making me get goose bumps and my skin crawling. “Do you need help?” He whispered huskily in my ear. Oh yeah, I’m getting wet down there just from this little attention I’m receiving. Can you just kiss me until I can’t breathe? Maybe make out with me a little bit, rip off my clothes and fuck me on the counter top? Aubrey! What!? No fucking until you’ve kissed and you know for sure he won’t be that first mistake. Can my thoughts not ruin my fantasies please? “That would be great. Thank you” I glanced up to those big beautiful hazel eyes. His breath fanned my orbs “What do you need?” He smiled. “Could you take the potatoes out of the pot and mix them?” I hit the wooden spoon on the rim and set it down.
He removed his hands as I lightly wriggled free, opening up the top cupboard and reaching for the mixer. “Could you get that for me?” I pointed up above. “Yeah” He smiled, his eyes crinkling on the sides. He didn’t even have to reach far. Son of a bitch. Why do I have to be so short? Next was the strainer I can do this part. I bent over, grabbing the strainer from underneath. I set it on the counter in front of Zayn. “Just strain the potatoes and then mix them” I said simply. “Okay” He nodded and got right to work. I went to attending the chicken, flipping them to hear the sound of them sizzling. We worked side by side, and every so often I would glance over just to see his muscles flex, the arches up and down his arm moving. I just want to run my hands along his biceps, his neck, and down his torso. Just to touch him like that would be a luxury. Everything seemed to be in a slow motion.
His hair looks perfect, up in that ‘do’ that makes him look so hot. Licking his lips out of concentration while he worked. His Adams apple bobbing up and down from swallowing every now and again. That stubble along his face, I would love to feel that in between my thighs. I closed my eyes for a quick second to try and imagine that happening. I gulped down that lump in my throat, trying to slow down my heart beat. Stop thinking like that before you fall to the floor. I gave him one last look, noticing those tattoos on his arm. They’re so cool. What do they mean? “Huh?” I was caught staring at his lower arm. I looked up at him nervously, biting my lip “Oh uh.. nothing” I tried maneuvering my eyes back to the chicken. “Which one do you want to know about?” He asked nicely. “No Zayn. I.. It’s none of my business. I didn’t mean to ask” It was a slip up, I’m sorry. I don’t want to come off as nosy. “Aubrey. It’s completely fine. I don’t mind” He insisted. I sighed “What does that one mean?” I pointed to the ‘Zap!’ tattoo, still biting my lip nervously. “Promise not to laugh?” He chuckled. “Depends” I shrugged smiling, letting him know that I’m only playing around. “Well, I was a big comic book nerd. I always had seen life kind of like a comic book, live life to the fullest, it could be fun” He gave me a smirk, shrugging and adding some butter and salt into the potatoes.
Wow, how interesting. I want a tattoo. “That’s really cool Zayn” I pointed out, admiring what he said. “If you don’t mind me asking.. Do you have any tattoos?” He tilted his head to the side, serious plastered on his pretty face. I gave him my full attention, tilting my head up, watching his lips then looking into his eyes. “No.. But I would love to get one” I added, Maybe making it sound just a bit sexy. He blinked a few times, another smile playing on his lips “Maybe.. if you want.. I’ll take you to get one” He rose an eyebrow, biting his lip. How can I say no to you? “Yeah.. that’ll be fun” of course I smiled to show my appreciation and went back to attending the green beans on the stove. I tried to pay no attention to him, all I heard was him clearing his throat and then standing next to me, finishing up the potatoes.
*Zayn’s P.O.V*
“Is there anything we can help you with? Because I’ve heard enough of those two ‘catching up’ out there” Aubrey and I turned around to see a flustered Louis, Niall and Harry sitting at the island. She chuckled “I’m sure we can find something for you to do” She replied drastically. “All they keep talking about in there is when they used to nag on each other” Niall exclaimed, rolling his eyes. Aubrey giggled opening up the top cupboard “Do you guys want to set the table?”
“That’s fine” Louis nodded.
“The plates are up here” She pointed up in a cupboard. “The cups are in this one over here” Tiptoeing to show them. “And the silverware are in this drawer” She explained, opening up one. “Go ahead and grab everything while we finish up in here” She said going back to the stove I stood by. The boys hoisted themselves off the stools, walking by us to get to the cupboards and drawer. Niall pat me on my back as he went by, Harry stopped and made a grabbing motion towards Aubrey’s ass. I smacked his hand away quickly, giving him the evil eye as he walked away laughing. She turned around quickly, glancing to me and to Harry with a curious look on her face. I shrugged and picked the bowl of potatoes up, showing her they were done and setting them on the island behind us. “I bet you 10 bucks that Allison and Liam will be fu-“ All of us glared at him, except Aubrey who smiled and worked on the chicken.
He cleared his throat “I mean.. messing around in at least a week” He gave us a goofy smile, looking for reassurance. “You mean fucking. Harry” Aubrey pointed out of nowhere. “See, she doesn’t care” Harry looked at us happily. Harry grabbed the plates and walked by us “I like you Aubrey” He said obviously as he walked into the other room. “Just ignore Harry. He’s a fuck head” Louis pat her on the shoulder walking away, with the others following behind him. Now it’s just her and I again Yess! “You know you can say whatever you want around me. I don’t care” She half smiled as she glanced up from her lashes. “How are the girls?” She asked, now putting the chicken on a plate. “They’re good. Thank you Aubrey” She shrugged “Anytime” But really though, thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you. “Come on, grab the potatoes” She nodded her head to the bowl as she headed out, carrying the plate of chicken in hand.
“Hope it’s alright” Louis shrugged, motioning to the table as we entered the dining room. “It’s perfect. Thank you” Aubrey preached as she set the plate on the table, me setting the potatoes right next to it. She leant up, giving him a small peck to his cheek in appreciation. “Hey I helped” Niall gave a pouty face, she chuckled “Of course you did” giving him one on his cheek as well. “Ahemm” Harry stood on the other side of the table, arms crossed. I furrowed my eyebrows towards him Watch yourself Styles. She’s mine. I yelled with my eyes. Aubrey giggled and gave him a super quick one Ha-ha. Bitch. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, squeezing her tightly.
Fuck. No. This isn’t fair. Jealousy enflaming through my body. “You’ll be fine Zayn” Louis whispered in my ear. He must have noticed. Shit. Because if he can notice, then everyone else can notice. “Well this looks delicious!” Liam clapped his hands together in satisfaction behind us.
*Aubrey’s P.O.V*
“We should dig in before it gets cold” I offered as I let go of Harry. “Seating arrangements” Louis called. What? I snickered quietly to myself as he leant on the end chair. “I’ll sit here since I’m pretty sure I’m the oldest” He moved to the next chair. “Niall here” He pointed as Niall sat in the chair. Haha, how funny. Louis is the eldest but seems to be the most childish. “Zayn’s here” He pointed as he went to the next end chair, gleaming like a little kid. “Aubrey here of course” He said obviously. “Allison.. Liam.. and you know. Harry” He said the last part lamely that made me laugh out loud. “Looks good to me” As I went to sit where Louis directed. Everyone got all comfy in their seats and started eating.

“Dinner was amazing. Thank you” Louis said holding out his arms, I reluctantly gave him a big hug. “Thank you for coming” I replied. “I’m gonna have to steal you so you can make me my personal meals” Niall laughed, putting his arm on my shoulder. “Thanks Niall” I chuckled. “That was great babe. Hope to see you again soon” Harry winked as he walked out the door. I was captured into a strong pair of arms being held from behind around my waist. Zayn. “Thank you for coming” I whispered. He rested his head on my shoulder “Thank you for inviting me. And thanks for dealing with my dumbass friends” He added. I chuckled “They’re alright” I shrugged. They really aren’t that bad, they’re pretty cool actually. “Come again?” I asked as we rocked back and forth lightly. Is it bad that I want to stay like this forever? I wouldn’t even mind.
My back pressed against his chest. This is an amazing feeling. Stay with me pretty please? “I would love too” He whispered in my ear once again. My lower belly region is feeling weird. You better leave Zayn before I fuck you… Hard. “I’ll see you later” I felt those familiar lips on my cheek once again. Haha, yup. I think I may need to go change my underwear. “Bye” I hushed as I lightly closed the door behind him. “Bye Aubrey” A happy Liam said behind me, making me jump a little. “I thought you left. Bye Liam” I opened the door swiftly. He nodded as he walked out, I closed the door quickly. “Allison!?” I called while walking into the living room. “Hey! Guess what!?” She called while sitting on the couch. “Yeah?” I asked sadly. She pursed her lips, waiting to tell me. “Liam asked me on a date!” She clapped giddily. “That’s awesome!” I said not to thrilled. “What’s wrong Aub?” She asked sitting next to me. “I don’t think Zayn likes me” I sighed sadly.
*Zayn’s P.O.V*
“Zayn!?” Oh shit. Get on the bike quickly. Drive away before he- “I know for a fact you didn’t ask her” Liam stood there, crossing his arms. “I-I will”-“No, you’ll do it now. You told us you would” He looked a bit angry. “I asked Allison. So it’s now your turn”-“But Liammm” I whined. “You told us ‘Tonight is the night I’ll do it guys’” He tried mimicking me. The other three watching me with their heads shaking. Ughhh. Why does he always have to be right? “Do it before we drag you back” He demanded. “Fine” I huffed, while walking back to her house.
I walked up her steps slowly, giving a glare back to the others who sat watching me expectantly. Just do it. It won’t be that bad. Right? Before I knew it, I knocked three times on her door. Oh shit! Quick turn around! Three seconds went by and still no answer Okay she’s not home. God is real! Phew. Now I can leave. The door opened up quickly to a green eyed Aubrey. Satan is real too. Shit. “Um, uh, hi Aubrey” I looked away from her nervously, trying to contain my heartbeat. “Hello Zayn?” She gave me a questioning look. Just ask her the question and get it over with. Or pussy out. Your choice. But I’d rather you ask her before Liam kicks your ass. Zayn, you have been wanting to do this since you first met. So do it! I sighed heavily, now resting my hands on the doorway, leaning on it funnily. “Okay. I’m just gonna come out with it” I said barely looking at her. For fucking sakes, just do it you twat! She smiled, but still looked at me questioningly. Please say yes Aubrey.
“Will you go on a date with me?”
