It has been three days since Zack's funeral and Zayn is back to his normal self. You see my feelings for Zayn have gotten stronger. He has been there for me every time I need him and I can't help but be grateful towards him. Over the past few days we have hung out alot more, both at school or at his house or mine.
"Katie!" my dad yelled from downstairs, Zayn and my dad has grown a well- rounded relationship since he saw alot more of Zayn around the house. My dad still teases me about liking Zayn but I deny although we both know I do but is too shy to admit it out loud.
"Coming!" I shouted back making my way downstairs, "Hi dad, what's wrong? I asked worriedly.
"Nothing sweetie, why don't you invite Zayn over for dinner while I invite Laura and her two kids to meet each other," dad suggested as he stared at me expecting me to do something. I then realized he thought I would yell at him for bringing someone other than my mum into our house but strangely I was happy, he found someone who makes him happy.
"Sure I'd love to but I have to ask Zayn first," I replied but I was certain Zayn would love to me. Whenever he and my father were together, they would argue about football or the fact that LeBron James played bad at the MBA Finals causing them to lose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I left the house and made my way to school. When I arrived at school, many people were chatting with there friends. I haven't been at school regularly since the abduction as Zayn told me I was still suffering from shock. I continued on my way down the halls and guess who I saw, Yup, Perrie Edwards, the school's biggest bitch. She was standing by my locker chatting with her 2 minions Rhea and Jessica.
"Excuse me," I said calmly but she ignored me, she wants attention, I'll give it to her, "excuse me PERRIE," I said emphasizing her name causing the hall to go quiet and everyone staring at me as if I was crazy. This made her turn around and looked at me before she shoved me making me fall ass flat on the ground. I got up and stood in front of her and screamed "What the hell!" ignoring the shocked expressions on her 2 stupid followers. When Perrie saw me her mouth hung open clearly surprised that I answered back to her as she had people worshipping her and were too afraid to tell her back something. You see one thing I learned from Zayn was not to take shit from anybody.
"You can't talk back to me," Perrie growled which caused me to laugh. "Oh but I did," I answered confidently.
Perrie was about to say but she nothing came out.
"Oh is Perrie Edwards lost for wor--," I was cut off by a stinging pain across my face. I looked up to see Perrie smirking. "I would watch what I say f--," without thinking I grabbed a fist full of her hair and threw her on the ground and jumped on top of her throwing a couple punches at her until I felt a familiar pair of hands wrap around my waist and lifted me off of her. "Zayn let me go, let me get at her," I kicked but Zayn didn't seem fazed by my behaviour but chucked and muttered my little tiger under his breath. "Zayn put me down, I can walk myself" I huffed.
"Ok babe," he replied causing a smile to form on my face as he just called me 'babe.' I have to ask Zayn about the dinner tonight before I forget. "Zayn?"
"Umm," he replied looking at me. "My dad wants to know if you want to come over for dinner tonight,"
"Sure," he replied shrugging his shoulders. "And Zayn, what are we?" I asked before I could even think about what I was asking. It was quiet for a while before Zayn answered and I cursed myself for creating this awkwardness between us.
"What ever you want us to be," he replied which took me off guard causing me to look at him wide eyed."Really," I thought he would have been angry with me for asking since he doesn't do girlfriends.
"Yea but I'm not good at all the romantic and sappy foolishness you see on TV," he said making me chuckle. Whatever Zayn did was enough for me, just being able to call him mine is enough. "So Katie would you like to be my girlfr--," I didn't let him finish but attacked his lips making him stumbled back. Zayn's hand began to roamed up and down my back as he regained his balance and he pushed me up against the wall and kiss down my neck making me have to bite my lips to suppress a moan.
"Zayn" I moaned " we have to stop before someone hears or sees us," as much as I wanted to continue, I couldn't for we would be at risk of getting caught at school.
"Ok," he replied just before pecking my lips as he put me back on my feet."We have to get back to class and I'm sure my name will be called to go to the principal ' s office," I told him.
When I arrived to class, I saw Kelly waving me over and I took a seat next to her ignoring everyone staring at me. Kelly told me about her trip to her grandparents and how she had a new little cousin whose name is Savannah and she was born last week.
"Katie Jenkins, report to the principal's office immediately," said the voice on the speaker. Kelly looked at me with confusion written all over her face, did she not hear about the fight. I turned to her and mouthed later before making my way to the office. When I arrived there, I saw Zayn siting in the waitig area. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I'm not about to let my girlfriend get into trouble for defending herself and plus Perrie can be a persuasive bitch." The way he said his girlfriend made my heart flutter, this was the first time he said out loud. "Ok," I replied
We entered the office and saw Perrie, who was sitting on the sofa, glaring at me since Zayn's arm was wrapped around my waist.
"Mr. Malik why are you in here?" Principal Maxwell asked, "because I want to," Zayn replied or more like growled. I slapped him lightly then whispered in his ear "be nice or I won't kiss you for the rest of the week."
" I'm sorry, I was there when it happened," he camly replied making our principal's eyes to widen probably suprised Zayn could say something without growling at someone. I smirked mentally as I realized I had control over him. "Ok, let's begin, so how did this fight start between you and Miss Edwards," Principal Maxwell asked.
After the meeting the principal told us she would let us off now but if she heard anything else there would be punishment. Throughout the rest of day, I received looks here and there but I ignored them.
It was now 6 o'clock and Zayn had jut texted me saying he was on his way over. "Katie!" my dad yelled, "Laura will be over any minute where is Za-" he was cut of by the doorbell ringing. I rushed downstairs thinking it was Zayn but was met by a very pretty brunette and two adorbable kids. "Hi you must be Katie, Rick talks alot about you," she smiled widely.
"Is that so, I hope it's all good things," I replied chuckling. I then went down to the two kids that were hiding behind her and said "hi there my name is Katie ad what's your beautiful names?"
"I'm Shayne and thats Shamia," the little boy quietly said. "Do you want to go to the playroom, I have toys you both can play with?" Both of their eyes widen and they nodded their heads vigorously. I looked at Laura for permission, which she gladly accepted, then I took them to the playroom. A few seconds later the doorbell rung and I told my dad to get it and continued playing with Shamia and Shayne.
I din't realize someone entered the room until I heard "you're going to be a great mom," and a familiar pair of arms wrap around my waist as I stood leaning against the door. He the started to kiss down my neck. "Zayn stop it, there are kids in the room," I said turning to face which probably wasn't a great idea as our faces were now a few inches apart. I couldn't help myself but crash my lips onto Zayn's. He lifted me quietly and carried me ino the hallway where he pushed me up aginst the wall our lips never detaching. I grinded my hips into Zayn earning a groan from him.
"Sorry," I apologized causing Zayn to chuckle, "there's no need to apo--" he was cut off by Laura's voice "kids dinner is ready!" she yelled. I went back to the playroom and picked up Shayne while Zayn carried Shamia downstairs. As we sat down, Shamia wanted to sit with Zayn while Shayne wanted to sit next to me and we both happily agreed. Who wouldn't.
"Halfway through the dinner Laur asked "So Katie and Zayn are you both dating?" causing me to spit ou my food since that question caught me off guard. "What?" I asked but I heard her perfectly, instead of asking again she gave me this look. "Yeah," I answerd glancing at my dad who was looking at Zayn. "Dad are you angry?" you see my dad could have been joking with me that I liked Zayn but he would still be protective of me.
"No but I have to talk to Zayn about hurting you," he said ushering a nervous-looking Zayn into the kitchen. When they left Laura turned to me and asked "Do you love him?"
"Yea, I have for quite a while but I haven't told him yet beause we officially stated dating today. Zayn's is different from the other guys I have dated who either used you or cheated on me. He is so caring, he's not the romantic type but I don't care as long as I can call him mine that's enough, I just hope he doesn't break my heart like the others," I didn't realze I was crying until Shayne asked, "why is Katie crying?" I couldn't take it anymore so I ran up to my room as memories of my ex-boyfriend came flooding back.

~FLASHBACK~
I was going over to Jason's house since I forgot my phone and jacket there. Whe I arrived at the door, I used to key he gave me and went inside. On my way to his room I heard muffled voices. I arrived at his door and through the cracks I saw him cuddled in bed naked with a red head. I ran out his house through the rain with tears pouring down my face.
(Flashback Over)

"Katie," Zayn called out as he entered my room, "What's wrong babe?" he asked as he lifeted me off the bed onto his lap allowing me to wrap my arms around his neck and cry into his chest.
"I had a bad flashback," I replied but I knew better that Zayn would want to know. "Do you mind me asking about what?" I shook my head and told him everything that has happened.
"I can't believe he did that to you, that bastard!" Zayn growled, I could tell that he was angry by the his fist clenched when I told him about it or the way his eyes darkened. "Zayn, it's not your fault," I reassured him as I rested my hand on his shoulders to calm him down. I hated to see Zayn blame himself for something he had no control over.
"I know but I can't stand the fact that someone hurt you," Zayn said.
"Zayn, I'm fine, I have you now and you're all that I want," I replied nuzzling my head in the crook of his neck and I could feel Zayn smile against my head. "Ok, we have to head back downstairs before my dad comes up here," I said. Zayn stood up and extended his arm which I took and we made our way back to the table.
When we arrived my dad didn't say anything for he knew I didn't want to talk about it. After dinner we were now in the living room watching movies. Zayn and I were cuddled up on the couch, dad and Laura on the other while Shamia and Shayne were on the floor infront of us. Ther was a knock at the door and got up to answer but I told her I got. Opening the door I came face to face with someone I did't expect to see. ..........
