ZAYN'S POV

"Yo Malik! Awesome party like always!"

"You rock Zayn!"

So ladies and gentlemen, it's safe to say that just like every year, my party was a huge success. Everywhere, teenagers were dancing inappropriately, having the time of their lives I guess.

Even more people had turned out for the party this year, but I wasn't complaining. My house was big enough. Some people were messing around in the pool outside, the rest were on the dance floor, and some were busy doing god-knows-what in the rooms upstairs. Drinks were being passed around and there were ample of pretty lads and ladies for everyone.

Speaking of pretty ladies, I hadn't seen Perrie today. Actually she hasn't been talking to me ever since that day at the cafeteria when I told her I didn't have time to go to the movies with her ans she had stormed off.

After asking around for a while, I spotted her talking to Josh. "Hey Perrie! Where have you been?" She scowled when she saw me then quickly covered it up.

"Uh, Josh, can you excuse us for a sec?"

"Sure!" Josh nodded and patted my back, walking away to the booze table.

I turned back around to Perrie and she slapped me. She fuckin' slapped me!

"What the hell babe!" I sputtered out, pressing my palm on my stinging cheek.

"Don't you babe me you bastard! How could you?! And how are you even talking to me right now?!"

I grabbed her wrists and steered her into a more quiet place— outside in the garden —'cos she was making quite a scene. At my own damn party.

"Now would you kindly inform me what I just did that made you slap me?"

"You cheated on me with Jenny didn't you? You man-slut! I knew it! Your face says it all!" Her eyes were watery by now.

"Who the bloody hell is Jenny?!" I yelled out, annoyed. God she was accusing me of sleeping around! I mean OK, I flirt a little here and there but I never go as low as to sleep with somebody else! I'm not that much of a twat!

"Oh don't act all innocent Zayn! I've been hearing rumors all week! And then, we oh-so-suddenly started drifting apart, hmm? Why?!"

"Okay, I admit. Lately, our relationship has lost some spark but that doesn't mean I'm cheating on you! God, Perrie! I can't believe you'd listen to some stupid rumors before coming to me first!"

"OK. Maybe. But why didn't you call me all week then, huh? Explain that and I want a damn well good reason Malik." Wow. Now she was acting like that over-attached girlfriend.

"Yeah. I didn't call you 'cos I was busy frolicking in Jenny's bed," I mutered sarcasticallly, rolling my eyes. Perrie snapped her head up, mouth hanging open.

"God! Of course not! I wanted to give you space! 'Cos you were pretty mad that day at the cafeteria. Then the next day when I did call back, you were still mad. Dunno why."

"Be-Because you had cancelled our date that day and then the next day as well!"

"I had work to do!"
