Don't & Shopping sprees

On the car ride back home all I could think about was Zayn. Would he be awkward? Would I be awkward? Then I realised we had already parked in our driveway. I look out to see another silver car parked in the driveway. I raise my eyebrow wondering who the car belonged too. The car came To a halt. "Who's car is parked in the driveway?" Louis asks pulling in on the grass. "You can't park on the grass, mum will kill you." I say. "Well mum's not here so it's ok." Harry says while winking at me. Louis laughs and I roll my eyes. Harry jiggles around with his keys and then looks the car. We run up to the front door steps to hear laughing. Louis looks at me and Harry looks at me as well. I raise my hands "I did nothing." I say. Although I was really curious to see what was inside. Harry looks at Louis. "Hey malena how about we go for ice cream? I love ice cream! Don't you Louis?" Harry asks Almost running out of breath. "Yeah I love ice cream. C'mon malena you can pick your own flavour!" Louis says. "Nice try boys but your not that good at hiding things and especially from me." I say grabbing the keys and shoving them in the door. Harry's eyes widen and Louis reaches for my hand. But I quickly open the door. My eyes widen as I see a blonde bun just above from the couch. The laughing stops and the two people on the couch stand up. It was Zayn and Perrie. "Oh hey guys." Zayn says scratching his neck. "Hi Harry and Louis!" Perrie says. (Btw I have no hate on Perrie.) "who's this pretty girl?" Perrie says winking. "I'm malena, Harry's sister." I say smiling at the end. "Oh my! You've become so tall! I remember seeing photos of you when you were a teenager!" She says laughing at the end. I laugh awkwardly with her. Then it became silent. Then a loud sizzling comes from the kitchen. "BLOODY HELL YOUR BURNING THE PANCAKES LIAM!" An Irish accent screams. "Jesus Niall I turned around for one second and.." Liam says. "LIAM THE PANCAKES!!" Niall shouts. Liam scurries out of the kitchen. "I swear if one of us were burning or the pancakes were burning Niall would save the pancakes." Liam says. We all laugh. "DAMN RIGHT I WOULD!" Niall shouts back. That made us laugh even more. Liam had set the table nicely. "Payno where are the spoons?" Louis asks. "You get them yourself Tommo." Liam says. "Do we have a fear of spoons?" Harry says. "I think the child does." Zayn says. Perrie laughs then she goes back to playing with Zayn's hair. I become a bit jealous. I used to be the one doing that, but that was the past. Niall sets out the pancakes. I sit in between Harry and Niall. Niall sets the pancakes out. "Great I'm starving." I say reaching for the pancakes. Niall gives me the eyes and slaps my hand away. "Niall what the hell?" I ask rubbing my hand. "Guests first." He says taking 4 pancakes. "Niall I'm pretty sure you don't need that many." Harry says. "Really Harry? I'm pretty sure you don't need this many girls but you take them anyways." Niall says taking a bite of his pancake. Harry's eyes widen. Louis Liam Zayn and I go "OHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Harry smirks. "Hahahaha very funny." Harry says picking up his fork. "So what are we all doing today?" Zayn asks. "I'm going to the movies to see a movie." Louis says. "No? Really?" I say. The whole table cracks up. "Hahaha! You are quite the sassy one today Miss." Louis says pointing his fork at me. "I know." I say proudly. "Well Zayn and I are going to a Ballet show today!" Perrie says. Zayn smiles a fake smile. "Oooooh! Fun!" Liam says. "Really?" Louis asks. "Yeah ballet is a hip thing right?" Liam asks. "If you mean Hip by the meaning an old granny busting a hip while watching the ballet than yes." Louis says. Harry and I snicker. "Oh come on you guys! It will be great fun! Won't it Zayn?" Perrie asks. "Of course!" Zayn says shaking his head. I laugh and so does Niall. "Well Liam and I are heading off to a soccer game." Harry says. Louis and Niall eyes widen. "Hey what about us mate?" Louis asks. "Yeah we enjoy soccer more than you!" Niall says. "Yeah but today we are swapping jobs. You go shopping with malena while we go watch the soccer." Harry says winking at me. "WHAT?" Niall says. "Excuse me Harry I must be deaf. Did you just say I would be going shopping for girls clothes with a girl?" Louis says putting a hand over his ear. I place a hand over my heart to show Louis how offended I was. "Yes, and cmon she needs something to wear other than tracksuit pants and a plain T-Shirt." Harry says. I look at Harry slightly offended, Again.  "Fine. But as long as we get food." Niall says. "Only if we stop off at rebel sports store." Louis says. "Sure, I'm up to whatever." I say. "Oh and I can buy some clothes for Manchester!" I say. "Manchester?" Zayn asks. "What's in Manchester?" Niall asks. "Ariana Grandes concert." I say. "Who are you taking?" Zayn asks. "Is it me? It better be me." Niall says. I laugh before speaking. "No no it's only one ticket and that ticket Is for me." I say. Liam's jaw drops. "WHAT??? You can't go by yourself! What if something happens? What if..." Liam starts panicking. "Liam I'm not 14 anymore. I'm 18. I'll be fine. Plus I'll just ring you guys if I need anything." I say. "I'm getting the feeling that Harry still isn't pleased with the idea." Louis says pointing to Harry. "Malena you can't be unaccompanied at the concert. You'll be alone with no one to protect you and no one to even..." Harry begins. "Harry I'm fi-" I began but was interrupted. "Malena what if something happens to you?" Zayn says. "Nothing will Ill be fine. Chill you pills. Cmon off to your Ballet, off to your soccer game and Louis and Niall do not forget to bring money." I say before hurrying upstairs. Before I go Perrie walks over to me. "Hey are you ok?" She asks. "Yeah it's just hard living with boys." I sigh. "I know the feeling. Don't worry you'll be fine." She says patting my back. She was really lovely, she was perfect for Zayn. I ran upstairs and had a quick Shower. I got into my grey track-pants and Maroon beacon hills sweater. "Alright let's go let's go!" I say clapping my hands. Louis and Niall groan. As soon as we get in the car they already start to complain. "Cmon guys it's not that bad! Only 2-3 hours of shopping and plus we get to go into your shops!" I say enthusiastically. They groan even more. "You guys didn't have to come you know. You could of just stayed home." I say looking out the window. "I mean I understand you guys don't want to spend time with me." I say. Louis looks mortified and Niall starts to panic. "No! No! We just aren't much of shoppers!" Niall says. "We love your company! Men aren't just into shopping that's all." Louis says. "Oh ok. So if we were shopping for food you wouldn't like that?" I ask. Niall goes silent. "And if we were shopping for sports clothes you wouldn't like that either?" I ask. Louis goes silent. "Mhmmm." I say. "I'm so sorry malena. We didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Niall says. "We were just being stereotypical boys. Hating girl stuff." Louis says. "It's fine no problem. I wouldn't like it if we were shopping all day for basket balls." I say laughing. Niall and Louis laugh as well. We arrive at the mall. "So where first?" Louis asks. "Umm Target?" I say. Louis and Niall look at me. "Umm so t you want to try somewhere more.. I don't know fancier?" Louis asks. "Excuse me, Targéy (target said in a cool way) is amazing place to shop." I say. "Ok Madame let's start with target and then go somewhere fancier." Niall says. We all end up laughing about our amazing accents. When we arrived at target there was nothing really. We went into another store called suprée. I spotted millions of things I adored. I tried on at least 18 different things. "Can I try this on?" I ask. Louis and Niall groan. "Boys?" I ask. "Yeah yeah sure." Niall says in a panic. Is mile and put the dress on. I couldn't reach the zip. "Umm guys." I ask. No answer. "LOUIS OR NIALL??" I shout. "Yes yes I'm here." Niall says. "Where's Louis?" I ask. "He's gone to look at more outfits." Niall says. "Niall can you please zip up this dress I have on?" I ask. Niall opens the curtain and looks at me. He smirks while zipping up my dress. "You look gorgeous." He says his blue eyes gazing my body. I didn't realise that he was actually checking me out because I was fiddling with the strap of my dress. "Really? You don't think I look like a sushi roll?" I ask. Niall bursts out laughing. "Oh my gosh a sushi roll?" He says in between breaths. "Yes a sushi roll." I say. "No but you make me hungry like a sushi roll." Niall says smirking afterwards. "NIALL YOU PERVERT!!" I shout closing the curtains. Niall cracks up laughing again. Louis came back and asked Niall why he was laughing. Niall explained it all to Louis and Louis snickered. In the end I got white jeans, powder blue sweater and a grey crop top. I was so excited to wear them to the concert. After shopping for what seemed like ages I really wanted to try out some bikinis at Triangle bikini wear. I dragged Louis and Niall with me. "You guys pick one I pick one." I say. Louis and Niall had huge smiles spread across their faces. Liam and Harry would usually pick one pieces, or Harry would even pick out a wetsuit for me. So I wouldn't even bother with bikini shops when I was shopping with them. Louis and Niall handed me there choices snickering while I was telling the lady I needed a change room. There was a massive sofa outside the change room I was in, so Niall and Louis sat there. "We'll be out here love." Louis says. "Alright." I say. I try on my choice first and it was ugly as. It was yellow and a vomit green colour. I put it to the side. Next I tried Niall's. It was a white bikini that showed a lot of cleavage. I came out side to see Niall and Louis chatting on the couch. When I came out their jaws dropped. "Damnnn.." Louis says. Niall whistles. "Oh stop." I say laughing. "That one was my pick." Niall says. "Wait until you see mine." Louis says winking. I go back into the change room and get into Louis pick for my bikinis. When I got into them there was barely Any bikini. It was showing a lot of cleavage and a lot of the back as well. " Louis why this one?" I ask. "Come out love!" Louis shouts. I step outside and Louis and Niall's jaws drop so low. Their eyes gaze on my body. "CRAP." Niall says throwing a pillow over his area. "Looks like Niall's excited." Louis says. I laugh at poor Niall who was flushed, to be honest so was I. Louis dog whistles and yells "damnnn malenaaa..." I laugh and head back into the change rooms. "Dude what the heck?" Louis laughs. "What she's hot." Niall's says. "Can't blame you mate." Louis says, smirking afterwards. "I can still hear you!" I say from the change rooms. Then silence hushes the room. "Guys?" I shout. No answer. "Great." I say packing up the bathers buying the ones Louis chose as it was pretty funny when I saw their reactions. Louis and Niall were nowhere in sight. I kept walking outside trying to spot them. I walked halfway across the mall and then I got way too tired and just ended up sitting down. "Where are they?" I say checking myself. I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned around and a familiar face was above me. "Malena?" He says. "Sh*t." I say walking away from the person. "Malena wait!" He says. "Jace? What the hell are you doing here?" I ask. "I-I came to see my girlfriend." He says scratching his neck. "Oh. Who is.." I began. "Isabella Moner." He says flat out. "Oh cool. Hope she's happy and you too." I say. "I umm have to find my..." but before I could finish my statement, a question was burning inside of me to ask. "Why would Isabella come to England?" I ask him. "Oh well she was going to the Ariana grande concert but she gave her tickets away as a charity thing and she promised her fans I would come for a meet and greet." Jace says not making eye contact with me. "Oh. I'm   Going to Ariana Grandes concert. Oh and by the way I really enjoyed your phone call to me earlier." I say. "Oh yeah that. Listen I'm so sorry it was just.. management and..." Jace says looking me straight in the eyes. "You wouldn't believe how many times I have heard it was the 'management'." I say. "No malena I'm serious. I'm so sorry. I still.." have says stepping towards me. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Hey love how about we head home? It's quite late?" Louis says to me. "FINALLY! I couldn't find you guys!!" I shout. "We are so sorry princess. Let's go." Niall says grabbing my hand. "See you Jace, have fun with Isabella!" I say waving. "Malena..." Jace says. But Niall pulls me by the waist. "Why is that load of bull.." Louis starts. "Louis.. language!!" I shout. "Load of BS here?" Louis finishes. "Long story I don't feel like saying it." I say pushing my hand against him. "OH AND BY THE WAY WHERE DID YOU GUYS DISAPPEAR TO?? HUH??? I WAS LEFT ALONE!!" I scream. "Princess there was a sports sale at rebel! We had to see." Niall says. "Oh ok. Fine. Cool. Sweet." I say walking faster. "Malena!" Louis shouts. "Yes." I say. "What's wrong?" Niall asks. "I feel genuinely hurt that you don't like shopping with me." I say. "We love shopping with you!" Niall says. "Especially the bikini Sh...OW!" Louis shouts as Niall elbows him. "Lol guys I'm joking I'm joking chill." I say. Sighs of relief escape their mouths. "So where to now?" I Niall asks. "Home." I say. Louis and Niall look at each other. "Ok you can scream now." I say folding my arms. "Woooooooooo!!!!" Louis and Niall shout. I laugh as we all head back to the car.

--------------------------------------
When we arrived home Liam and Harry were on the couch. "What happened to the soccer?" I say. "IT finished early as too many people were throwing things." Harry says. "It was a violent game!" Liam shouts. "And a loud one too." Harry says laughing. We sit down and I show Liam and Harry what I got. "Ok so I go these clothes to wear to the Ariana concert." I say pulling out my powder blue sweater, white jeans and grey top. "I love it!" Liam says. "It's really pretty love. What else did you get?" Harry says heading over to kitchen. "Some bikinis. Do you want me to try them on?" I ask. Louis and Niall snicker. "Sure love!" Harry shouts from the kitchen. I put them on and step out. Niall and Louis look at me smiling. Liam's jaw drops and his eyes widen. The front door opens and Zayn enters. "Sorry boys I had to drop off Perrie to..." but then Zayn stops talking as he notices me. Harry walks in. "What all the silence fo..." but before Harry finishes he looks me up and down and drops the glass plate.  It smashes into pieces which brings everyone back to focus. "JESUS MALENA PUT ON A COAT!" Harry yells throwing a coat at me. He wraps me up in it. "IM BUYING YOU A WETSUIT AND SNORKELLING GOGGLES SO NO ONE STARES AT YOU LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Harry shouts. "Okay okay! Harry chill! I'm 18!" I say. "Not in my eyes you aren't." Harry says picking me up. I roll my eyes and laugh. Before Harry takes me upstairs I vaguely hear Louis say "Zayn your missing out on a lot." Louis says gesturing towards me. "I know I miss her a lot." Zayn whispers. My heart stopped. Did he really miss me?
