Crossed Lines

He looks up at me but says nothing. I don't even know where to begin, I mean there's nothing to feel guilty about. Nothing happened and he knows that Mark is just a friend.

"So I'll see you later or I'll text you?" Marcel says as he gets his phone to leave.

"Yeah, bye." I smile at him.

"Bye baby call me later." he says with a smirk as he exits the front door. I close my eyes briefly and mentally throw him with a chair. I know he's doing it on purpose to upset Zayn since this whole situation is 'funny'. Dumb ass.

With a deep sigh, I sit next Zayn and wait for him to flip out or something but he says nothing and looks down on the carpet seemingly in deep thought. he looks to me and sighs.

"Look I know it looked bad but he's my best friend and nothing happened okay."

"So if I were to spend the night in Suzie's room, almost naked, you'd be okay with that?" Well he's got a point. "do you see how fucked up this is. You got mad because I was simply having coffee with her, in public might I add." he shakes his head in disbelief.

"That was different though, you never told me about her so I thought it was just some random woman."

"Are you seriously trying to justify this?" he raises his voice but I can tell he's trying to keep calm.

"No, I'm just-"

"No Mel. You can't do that." he yells.

"I don't see what's the big issue here. I mean me and Mark always share things, even a bed, he's like a brother to me. We've always been this close"

"Have you always had a boyfriend?"

I mean in high school we were all pretty close, we would always do everything together with our boyfriends or girlfriends. No one minded if you went to the movies or fell asleep next to your best friend. Varsity, Marcel had already moved so my boyfriend there didn't have anything to worry or complain about really.

Wait...did he just say boyfriend? he sees my look of surprise and continues. "Never mind that Melony. My point is you have someone now. You can't go around acting like that with you friends, exclusive or not."

"What would you have done if the roles were reversed and you found Suzie half naked in my room?" I don't say anything in return as he stands up and runs his hands through his hair. "Do you not see how disrespectful it is to the person you're with?"

"I didn't think of it like that. It's just a habit of ours, and I really am sorry if you feel like I disrespected you, it wasn't my intention." I say looking down.

"I'm not trying to argue with you unnecessarily here but do you see where I'm coming from?"

"Yes Zayn and I'm sorry. It won't happen again" He looks at me for me for a while before answering.

"Good." He sighs and sits down next to me. "I don't want to ruin or interfere in your friendships but that's something that's unacceptable to me, I won't have it."

"Okay I will try not to share a bed with my best friend again."

"Or any other guy except me." his lips lift in a barely noticeable smirk. At least he is in a better mood now.

"Okay, I'm sorry." He puts his arm around me and pulls me to his side and sighs. " Am I forgiven?" I ask looking up at his facial expression.

Without replying he bends down to kiss me. His lips are soft as always as he kisses me slowly, without any rush. He holds his hand firmly where my jaw and neck meet as he continues to kiss me, without deepening the kiss. He pecs me one last time before pulling away completely to which I pout at him.
