Zayn has been waiting in front of Harry's house for last thirty minutes. Harry has not revealed himself yet. But he is confident that Harry will come. He is so sure that Harry loves him and he would not give up on Zayn like this. And his conclusion never fails. 

So he kept waiting. 

"Zayn? It has been a long time already, Harry obviously would not show up." 

Niall said with annoyance. He didn't like the fact that Zayn is so obsessed with Des' son. It would not end good. But the worse thing is Niall also being involved in it. He can not leave Zayn in this mess.

"He will come, wait for a bit." Zayn spoke, with certainty. His eyes fixed on the window. 

"How much time will you waste, huh?" Niall whisper yelled suddenly. "The poor boy was worried, he was literally shaking, didn't you see?" 

"Ni, its not because of fear. He was shaking because of excitement". Zayn said, matter of factly, rolling his eyes. 

"Is that so?" Niall huffed, pure irritation pasted on his face. "Well, I wan t o see your face so badly when he breaks your pretty little heart by not showing up."

Zayn was triggered by this. He glanced at Niall who was giving him death glare. 

"You do not believe my words." Zayn responded, with his mysterious smile. 

"Want to bet?" 

This time Niall started laughing hysterically. Zayn said nothing and kept staring at him.

"I will take you to the market and buy you whatever food you want, for one entire week, if he does not show up," Zayn muttered. Niall stopped laughing at looked at Zayn with narrowed eyes. Zayn took his vision to the window. "But! If he shows up, you have to be my slave for the remaining of the week."

Now Niall's once narrowed eyes were now wide like a cow's eye. He scanned Zayn awkwardly, who was smirking. 

"Alright, deal," 

Niall replied and looked at the window, with chest puffed out with fake attitude.

Another hour passed. 

No Harry was seen. 

Zayn was all red now, with anger and embarrassment while Niall had a happy face patched. 

"I told you," Niall mouthed after a while. 

Zayn just stood there. He does not know what to do anymore. According to the situation, he can not meet Harry anymore. But he can not do it. 

He is madly in love with Harry. 

*I should not have been so impatient, I should have given Harry more time.* Zayn made a frustrated groan. 

"It can not always be how you want it to be," Niall mumbled, patting on Zayn's back. "Now about the deal-"

"Niall, shut up and go. Otherwise I will beat you," 

Zayn snapped. Every inch of him burning with anger. He started walking back to the dorm he was staying.

Niall's happy look turned into a sad one immediately, seeing his friend in this condition. "Ok, let's go," he stated in a small voice before following his tempting friend, who was quite ahead of him.

That night, two men were spotted strolling around Harry's house. 

Zayn and Niall.
