Hopeless Romantics

Katherine

"So Poppy, has Liam talked to you yet?" I asked her as we lounged in my basement.

"No. Was he supposed to?" She said.

"Oh my fucking god, I'm going to kill him."

"What was he supposed to say?"

"I probably shouldn't tell you. I'll make sure Liam does though."

"Oh come on, please tell me."

"Nope. Liam needs to do it himself."

"Fine. Guess I'll just wait."

"Guys," Audrey stood up, "I have something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Celene asked.

"Zayn's ex girlfriend Gigi is pregnant."

"The fuck?" I blurted out.

"And he's the dad?" Jordan said.

"Yes," Audrey answered.

"Shit, that sucks," Celene said.

"I wanted to ask Katherine for help."

"Me?" I smiled, "I'd love to, but like, how?"

"I thought maybe you would know."

"So you and Zayn broke up?"

"Yeah, but I think he only did it because he wants to be with her during the pregnancy and help out with the baby."

"Audrey I'm sure he'd rather be with you. I've seen the way he looks at you. He's definitely in love. But I understand that he's probably excited to be a father."

"I get that but like, I miss him so much."

"I don't see why he can't date you and simply just also help Gigi out. He doesn't have to get back together with her."

"Yeah is he stupid?" Celene chimed in.

"Apparently," Poppy commented.

"I'll talk to Zayn," I said.

"Thanks," Audrey said, "Just don't tell him I asked you to do this."

"Oh trust me, I won't."

The next day, after Louis left for work, Zayn came over unexpectedly.

"Zayn!" I said when I opened the door.

"Hey Katherine," we hugged.

"This is actually perfect. I need to talk to you."

"I need to talk to you too."

"Well come in," I led him down to the basement.

"God I haven't been here in so long."

"We've missed you."

"Still making drinks I see?" He smiled.

"Of course I am. Do you want something?"

"Sure. What do you have?"

"Whatever you want."

"I guess I'll have a bourbon."

"Good choice," I winked and poured us both a glass, "So what did you wanna talk about?"

"It's about Gigi. She's pregnant and I broke up with Audrey because I wanted to help Gigi but now I feel like that's a mistake."

"Why?"

"Because I don't love Gigi anymore. I love Audrey."

"Then you should be with her. You can still be apart of Gigi and the baby's life if you're dating Audrey."
