Chapter 24 - Just Back off my Man!

Chapter 24 - Just back off my man

I had finally started getting to a good start with school, but this morning I was grumpy as hell. I really did not want to be competing with any girl for Harry. I didn't have a reason to compete but I just felt like he was way out of my league. The way he looked at Kate when he saw her--ugh the picture had made its mark in my head and no matter how hard I tried to shake it off it wouldn't budge. Of course I had to get through this day and just as I held my front door open I jumped back startled. "God Zayn, you scared me. Have you been standing here all this time?"

Zayn ran his fingers through his hair slowly and wouldn't stop chewing on his lip nervously. "I uh--no I just got here. I was just about to ring the door bell but you already--yano, did." He cleared his throat repeatedly and played around with his collar. I smiled finally making sure I wasn't making this awkward for him.

"It's fine, anyways what brings you here?"

"My mum had to drop my sister off to this other school for some game. We saw your house on the way, so I thought to stop by and ask if you wanted to go together?" Zayn moved side to side awkwardly, with his hands in his pockets.

"Oh yeah, sure! I just have to finish my breakfast, come on in." I held the door open welcoming Zayn inside. He nodded and stepped in following me into the kitchen.

"Rachel, have you seen my--oh, well hello there." Maria came running calling downstairs, but then noticed Zayn. 

Maria had already grown bigger over the past few weeks. It was easier to tell on her since her previous body was so petite and tiny. She had decided long before that once her belly became more visible, she would stay out of school until she had the baby to save herself from the drama and gossip about her. Maria quickly covered her stomach with a magazine to keep Zayn from noticing.

I figured that Zayn already noticed but obviously he wasn't going to say anything. Instead, he stepped forward and held his hand out. "Hi, I'm Zayn... you must be Maria, am I right?" He introduced kindly. 

Maria's paranoid face grew into a slow smile. "Yeah, I bet Rachel might have told you about me then." She looked towards me smiling, impressed with Zayn's kind manners. Even I was at that. 

"I actually I have, quite a lot. From all that I've heard you sound like a brilliant girl" Zayn gave her a cheeky wink.

I was stood there awkwardly just witnessing all of this happening in front of me. Was-was he flirting with her? 

"Dude, I also told you she has a boyfriend" Rachel retorted, stepping forward and interupted his little moment.

"It was worth a shot" Zayn winked at Maria once again and leaned over the counter. 

Maria couldn't help but smile, as she left the room. 

This was so disgusting. It was just weird having Zayn flirting with others in front of me. I couldn't help but say it was kind of hot. l just rolled my eyes and changed the topic."So do you want anything to eat? There's not much I can really offer you here anyways. I have the worlds most boring and disgusting food at my house..." I offered looking through my cabinets in search of some food. My mum was always at work and Ali and I always ordered take out. It was something we wouldn't complain about, we sort of just got used to it. 

"No thank you, but you know what? I know a way you can make your food a lot less boring." He sat on the edge of the counter, leaning in towards me. "I'm sure you have the basic foods lying around somewhere." Zayn walked up towards the fridge, and took out a few things, laying them across the counter.

Corn dogs, chocolate, chicken nuggest, chocolate sauce, sausages and milk.

I raised my eyebrow, quite confused as to what was runing through his mind..."And what exactly are you planning to make out of this?" I asked pointing towards the variety of foods he had taken out.

Zayn smirked, "You'll see."

In a matter of minutes Zayn had already prepared different meals with the his selected items. "And here you are!" He exclaimed excited and handed me a glass. I brought it close to inspect what it was that I was holding. It looked a milkshake. I brought it up to my nose and smelt it. I pulled back immedietly holding myself back from hurling. But it sure as hell did not smell like one.
