Breathe Jazmin, just breathe. It will be okay. I tried to calm myself down whilst leaving the plane. I had finally done it. My lifelong dream to move to London was made possible by a few mistakes and a great childhood friend. The mistakes that had been made encouraged my parents to agree to support me with the move. I was 19 yes, which made me free to do whatever I wanted – thank the lord for that – but without their encouragement and financial support it wouldn’t have been made possible. I reached the bustling airport and all the efforts I had made to calm myself down went out the window. Perrie, I had to find Perrie. Where in the world was I supposed to find her? A state of panic took over as people pushed me around, rushing of in all different directions seeing as though our flight had been delayed. I racked my brain for past experiences that might allow me to find baggage claim but Heathrow airport was massive. Someone attacked me from behind and I was about to scream when I recognised a high-pitched tone screeched my name in my ear.

“Jassmmiiinnnnnn!” Perrie shrieked as she jumped on me. “You made it, you’re here. I can’t believe it! This is so exciting!”

I let out a sigh of relief. “You know how exciting I am.” I winked at her. “Thank god you are here, I was about to go into freak out zone, directions are not my forte.”

“No shit, we have met before, I am very aware.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, can we just get out of here, I am starved. And by the looks of it, there is a group of people with cameras coming our way that you may want to avoid.”

“How the… I’m not even going to ask that, let’s just go get your shit and get out of here before they see me and then we can go grab something to eat. Oh and I almost forgot, our place is amazing, you aren’t gonna believe your eyes!”

“I am so excited, you don’t even realise! This move is awesome!”

“I know! I can’t believe that after all this time, talking about it in school when we were little that we are finally moving in together! Your furniture arrived yesterday afternoon as well and basically it’s all set up, I got the boys to do that. This is gonna be awesome!” She squealed as we grabbed my 5 bags – what! I’m not exactly the lightest packer plus I am moving halfway around the world so stop judging me – and quickly headed out the door to get in her car in order to avoid any other paps.

“Fuck Perrie, your car is amazing, why can’t I be in a famous girl band like you, this isn’t fair.” I pouted at her after I did up my seatbelt. “Plus you have a hot and famous boyfriend, lucky bitch.”

“Your time will come hottie, the boys will be cueing up,” she laughed at me. Bitch, did she think this was funny. My luck with boys was terrible – actually terrible is a horrible, horrible understatement. I cringed at the thought of my last relationship and Perrie being the mind-reader she is said, “babe they aren’t all like that, there are nice guys out there who don’t do that kind of thing to girls, please trust me, I know this is a hard time for you but you’ve met Zayn, he’s not bad is he. British guys are awesome, don’t you worry too much.”

“I guess you’re right,” I said half-heartedly as she turned into a low class neighbourhood.

“Perrie, when I said you could choose our house and I would just give you the money, I didn’t mean go all out and get anything too extravagant that I don’t deserve.” I chuckled when she looked at me weirdly.

“Uh, this is a short cut babe, you deserve the best of the best which means the best is yet to come. The house is amazing and even better when you aren’t looking at it through a computer screen and I got a good deal because I have amazing contacts and heaps of money that may as well spend it on something,” I frowned at her. “Plus it’s close to the mansion – and when I say mansion I mean a massive 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom, ginormous house – that the boys – and when I say boys I mean Zayn – just moved into!” She squealed as the car slowed to a stop, I looked around and realised that we had past the lower class neighbourhood – crap I sound like a snob – and moved into a richer area. We were in front of an amazing two-story mini-mansion of a house and I just stared at her in awe as we waited for our garage door to open.

“Is this…” She nodded. “What Perrie no, don’t lie to me, this is impossible I.. I just… I’m lost for words… I just,” This place, my house, was incredible. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

She laughed at me. “And you’ve only seen outside, wait til we go inside. I told you it was amazing.”

We unloaded my stuff from her car and carted it into her, wait no, our house. Well she actually did most of the work; I just stood there in a daze looking around in shock at my new home.

Out of what felt like nowhere, fingers were being snapped in front of my face. “Jazz, get your lazy arse over here and help me take your shit up to your room.” I apologised quickly and being the one trip bag lady I grabbed as many suitcases as I could manage and followed Perrie to my new room. In one word it was magnificent. Ensuite of to one side, glass sliding doors that lead to a balcony with views to the city in front and my very comfortable looking, king-sized bed. It was incredible; I was just awe-struck.

“Perrie, this is spectacular, I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t need to say anything, you helped pay for it, I just used my name to find us somewhere nice, don’t worry about it. Do you want to unpack a bit or just go grab a bite to eat because it is lunch time here?”

“I don’t mind but I am hungry because plane food is terrible so we may as well go grab something so I can come back and unpack and sleep. Jet lag is a bitch.”

“You’re telling me. Ok, I just need to grab something, you take a quick look around at everything and I’ll meet you at the car in 5.”

∞∞∞∞∞

We had just finished lunch when Perrie’s phone rang, it turned out to be one of her band members, Jade, and she asked Perrie if she could come in to work as they were in the middle of writing some pieces for their new album. Although she tried as hard as she could, she couldn’t get out of it so that’s how I ended up being dropped back to our new place to spend my afternoon unpacking the majority of my things. Well that was until I was interrupted by someone at the door.

“Hey babe… Wait, you’re not Perrie.” He looked confused, until recognition dawned on his face.

“No shit,” I laughed at him opening the door a bit further. “Zayn it’s Jazmin. Do you remember me?” I introduced myself and he pulled me into a hug.

“Yes of course I remember, Perrie didn’t tell me you were supposed to be here.”

“Oh right, yeah I arrived today,” I told him and he nodded.

“Good flight?” he asked and it was my turn to nod. “Is my fiancé around?”

“Perrie had to meet up with the other girls for some stuff, you can come in and wait for her, I don’t think she will be too long. I was just doing some unpacking.” I informed him opening the door wider for him.

“Are you sure, I don’t want to intrude since you only just got here.”

“Zayn just come in. I don’t know anyone here and I would love to get to know you seeing as though you and Perrie are together and we will probably be spending a lot of time around each other.” He nodded and entered the house. He looked around at the mess I had made.

“Looks like you need a bit of help unpacking. I’m feeling generous and since you’re new here I’m willing to help you.”

And that ladies and gentlemen, is how one ended up spending her afternoon, getting to know the Zayn Malik.
