LOST

Chapter 8

I wrapped a white towel around my wet and relaxed body. I always loved taking long and hot showers. It wasn't only removing the dirt from my body, also from my mind. And my mind was a complete mess right now. I got out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen, where I found my brother lazily eating a sandwich. "Hey." he said and straightened up on his seat. 

"What are you still doing here?" I asked and grabbed an apple from the fridge. "I thought you were working today. It's past noon." 

"Nah." He said and shrugged. "I just need to visit somewhere." 

"Where?" I pulled a chair for myself and sat on it. He just watched me, didn't say anything and took the last bite from his sandwich. I couldn't help but wondered, why was I surrounded by idiots. "Is it about work?" 

He just got up and put his empty plate in the sink. "Why are you asking so many questions?" He asked and leaned against the counter. 

"Oh, let me think." I put my hand on my chin and pretended like I was in deep thoughts. "It's maybe because you're my brother and I want to know what you're doing?" I raised my eyebrows and took a large bite from my delicious green aple. 

"No, you're just being nosey." I wish I was strong enough to beat him, because he was getting on my nerves. 

"And you're being an ass!" I said and looked away. I wasn't frustrated because he was being rude, it was because he wasn't telling me anything, again. 

"Stop pouting." He said. I could tell from his voice he was smiling. 

"I'm not pouting." I said and I heard him chuckled softly. "What is it so funny?" I looked up at him and tried hard to keep my straight face. 

"You." he said and grinned. "What is it Annie? Are you on your period or something?" 

"Excuse me?" I said but now I was smiling too. "Just because I'm mad at you, that doesn't mean I'm on my period." But he wasn't even listening, he was just laughing and shaking his head. "You're such an idiot." I mumbled and rolled my eyes. "How long this visit will take?"

"Why?" He straightened up again and looked at me. 

"Just answer me for God's sake Zayn!" I was really tired of chasing for answers, this one wasn't even private. I felt like everybody around me made a vow to annoy me. 

 "It won't take long." He said and checked his phone. "Why?" But before I could speak, his head snapped up to look at me and he shook it quickly. "No. No, I'm not coming. Don't even try-" 

"But-"

"No." 

"Zayn please! It would make Liam so happy!" 

"No chance." 

"Please, just do it for me. You can come after you're done with your visit, please!" I really wanted him to come with us to dinner at Liam's fathers that was tonight. Liam was going to be here in an hour and his fathers house was an hour away. "Please?" 

Zayn looked at me, his eyebrows was knitted together and he was biting down on his bottom lip. But I knew I convinced him, I could see in his eyes that he gave up. He exhaled loudly and nodded. "Okay." he said. "I'll be there after I'm done." 

I quickly got up and threw myself in his arms, hugged him tightly. "Yes!" I jumped. "I love you!" 

"And I hate you." he said and I laughed. 

"When are you leaving?" I asked as I pulled myself back. 

"I don't know." he shrugged. "Niall would be here in half an hour or so."
