Chapter 5

And Zayn then feels like jumping up and down and doing cartwheels all over the field. "S-sure."

"Cool...come on" Niall motions for Zayn to get up and Zayn obliges. They both walk out to the parking lot and to Niall's truck.

"Where are we going?"

Niall pulls out a pack of cigarettes and takes one out before glancing at Zayn. "To this restaraunt I found on Main Street. They've got amazing nachos."

Zayn nods not knowing what to say. They hop in Niall's truck and Niall starts it then drives off.

"Turn on the radio will ya?" Niall asked, blowing out some smoke.

Zayn turns on the radio and hears Ed Sheeran blaring through the speakers.

Zayn smiles, "Ed Sheeran."

Niall looks at Zayn with a frown. "Do you not like him? I'll change it" he goes to turn to something else but Zayn shoots his hand out and places it on Niall's. Sparks shoot through both boys' hands causing them to look up at each other surprised.

Niall pulls away first, "Er...um...o-okay."

Zayn only nods with wide eyes. They both turn away from each other and an awkward silence fills the air, like always.

"I-I love Ed Sheeran. He's great. I loved how you sing A Team" Zayn mumbles, trying to start a conversation.

Niall jerks his head back to him. "How I sing A Team? How do you know how I sing?"

Zayn's heart's skips a beat. Did he just admit to listening to Niall sing? Shit.

"N-no!" he says quickly. "I was t-talking about Ed! Did I say you? I mean Ed. Haha silly me."

Niall raises his brows but turns back to the road. "Oookayyy....so have you been to Simon's?"

"Simon's?" Zayn says.

Niall laughs, "Yeah, the restaraunt we're headed to."

"Oh, um, no."

"What?! Its amazing! You'll love it I swear" Niall smiles.

Zayn turns to Niall who looks back at him. "I trust you" Zayn says, staring directly into his eyes. Niall's blood runs cold from his intense gaze. He coughs and turns back to the road. "Um...I-okay" he stumbles.

Zayn and Niall take a seat down at a booth next to a window. A petite waitress with blonde hair and green eyes approaches them. "Welcome to Simon's, I'm Alissa and I'll be your server, what kinda drinks can I get you two?"

Niall looks up at Alissa and smiles widely. "Hi, Alissa."

Alissa blushes, "H-hello. What kinda drinks would you like?"

"What do you prefer? You're very pretty and you seem like a smart girl. Tell me, what kinda drink should I get?"

Alissa giggles and bites her lip. "How about our freshly squeezed lemonade? Its perfect for days like this."

Zayn's blood boils with anger. He cannot believe Niall is doing this right in front of him. He's flirty with this giggly ass, blonde bitch. And he has a girlfriend!

"And for you?" Alissa turns to Zayn.

Zayn gives her a fake smile. "The same."

"Okay, I'll be right back with your drinks" Alissa smiles and walks off.

Zayn turns to Niall. "W-why are you flirting with her? You have a girlfriend."

Niall giggles, "Oh, come on it was-wait...how did you know I had a girlfriend?"

Zayn's eyes widen, "I-I don't know...I guessed..."

Niall sighs, "I do. Her name's Alicia. She's beautiful."

Zayn's eyes start to prick with tears but he blinks them away rapidly. He feels like crawling into a corner and dying.

"She's back in Mullinger where I used to live. We kinda got in a fight last night..."

"R-really? Why?" Zayn says, trying to cover the desperateness lacing through his voice.

"Its a long distance relationship. Its not easy. She misses me and I miss her. We never have time for each other ya know? She's coming in town next weekend though. I'm so happy. I hope we can fix this."

And Zayn frowns again. "Uh, y-yeah. I bet...it will. I bet she's very pretty."

Niall smiles, "Gorgeous, man."

Zayn's frown deepens, "Can I see a pic of her?"

Niall whips out his phone and pulls up a picture before passing Zayn his iPhone. There on the screen, was a girl about their age. She has long, wavy blonde hair and a pair of almond shaped green eyes. Full lips stretched into a dazzling smile and she was in a swimsuit showing off her lean and tan body.

"Wow, she's...beautiful" he mumbles.

"Yeah, I know" Niall blushes, taking his phone back.

Zayn looks down at the table. His girlfriend's so damn gorgeous and he's so jealous.

"Zayn do you have a girlfriend?" Niall asked.

Zayn lifts his head to meet Niall's pools of blue. "There's someone I want but I can't have."
