Chapter Four
Maura’s pov
You know, I’m not really the one that fangrils over people, accept maybe a little bit when it comes to Ed Sheeran. But I’m pretty excited about the 'some coffee' thing with Zayn. After al Zayn still has a famous face, but he's also just a guy, who isn't ugly and can sing pretty good. I think me and Marcus won't talk for a while, he's probably pissed ad me because all of this, but I don’t really care.
“Bye mum!” I say opening the front door.
"Wait, can I go with you?" Casper asks just before I walk out
"No, you can't"
"Why not?"
"Didn't I tell you that yesterday?"
"No"
"I'll tell you after I finished my Starbucks session”
"Gosh I hate you"
"Love you too"
"Yeah, sure" I hear Casper mutter.
Okay I'm pretty nervous. Why? I don't know. Do I want to know? Yes. What if it was a random dude saying he was Zayn, or what if Zayn’s a pain in ass? Or what if he thinks I'm actually super mega hot and he melts. Than I have to clean it. I'm not going to clean a melted Zayn Malik. But what if…? What if it's another guy and he's hot and nice? Or he is really 'not-so-good-looking'? And he's a nerd? Gosh my life is so complicated.
"Hi, Maura" I hear a well-known voice, Casper, say as I walk into the Starbucks, "I didn't expect you to be here"
"What a surprise to see you here”
"I know right?!”
"Sorry, you're Maura right?" A guy, who tapped on my shoulder, asks.
I turn around and see Zayn. He showed up, and it’s really him! Wow, now Marcus will only hate me more…
"Yeah, I’m Maura" I say shaking his hand.
"Shall we go inside?" He asks.
"Sure" before we walk inside I take a look at Casper who is standing with an open mouth.
"So Maura, what would you like to drink?" Zayn asks me.
"Hot chocolate with caramel" I say grabbing my wallet.
"No, I pay" Zayn says when I try to give him the money for the hot chocolate.
"I can pay my own stuff"
I don’t need no boy taking care of me, I am an independent woman who can pay for her own damn hot chocolate.
"No, you can't because I pay for it" Zayn says with a smile and walks away towards a table.
Well than not mister I have way too much money and want to spend that on some girl I don’t even know.
"Here you go" he says giving me my hot chocolate. He also grabbed some drinking straws and sugar.
"Thanks" I say as I grab a straw and put it into my drink.
"So Maura, tell me a bit about yourself, because other that your name and how you look, I know nothing about you"
"Well... I'm seventeen. My full name is Maura Maria Isles. I have a twin brother, an older sister and a younger brother. I like to do sports. I can play piano guitar, I like to dance and sing, but singing is not really my strongest point. I make a lot of pictures and video's. And if you want to know more details about my life you should watch the Draw My Life video I made”
"A what?"
"Draw my life… Some Youtubers did it and a friend tagged me, so I made one"
"Cool, you like to draw?"
"Yes. You really don't want to see my school books, or notes, they’re full or little doodles"
"Yeah, I had the same problem at school"
"So now you know me a bit better. I may sound weird but other than the fact that you're in a band with some random dudes, I know nothing about you"
"So you're not the fangril type?"
"Not really, I only admire Ed Sheeran”
“That’s good to know” he says and starts off, "My full name is Zayn Javadd Malik, I’m nineteen. I have one older -, and two younger sisters. I like to draw, sleep, sing, can't dance. I have some tattoos, as you can see. Some of them are drawn by me. I smoke, which is really bad but stopping is hard. I know it's not good for me, but sometimes it's just nice. And to top it all off, I’m a Muslim”
“Really? That’s actually really cool”
“Thanks…I guess”
"Maura!" I suddenly hear some familiar voice say as I turn around.
"Sorry" I say to Zayn and turn my face to Finn.
"I found this" Finn says giving me my bankcard.
"Where did you found that? It's been lost for quite a while"
"I cleaned my room, and found it"
"Serious?"
"No, Jack found it"
“Great, well thanks”
“No problem” Finn says and walks away again.
"Who's that?" Zayn asks as I turn back to him.
"Oh that’s Finn, a friend"
"And the one who you were talking to outside?”
"Caper, my brother”
"It's really cool that you're a twin"
"Why?"
"Well, normally you have two girls or two boys. Not one guy and one girl" he explains, “But I think twins are cool in general”
"I still don't see why that's cool"
"It's just cool"
"Okay, if you say so"
"You are the first person who tells me I’m right, thanks"
"You're welcome” I tell him, “I really have to tell you something…”
"Sure, what’s up?”
"My best friend, Marcus, is gay, and he's deeply in love with you, and now he hates me sort of” I explain, “You met him before, the day you handed me your number”
"Is he that guy that wouldn't get of me when he asked for a picture?"
"Yup, that's the one"
I am sorry Marcus, but yeah, he deserves to know.
"Well... He is very... Very special"
"I know"
"Does he know I’m not gay?"
"I don't know, I guess. But serious, he has marriage plans"
"Aright, that's really weird”
"I know, he is sweet… but weird, really, really weird; just like all of my friends and family”
"That's a good sign"
"Why?"
"Well I don't really like to talk about myself and the boys, but we are weird as fuck"
"I assume that 'the boys' are those people who are in that band of yours, right?”
Zayn nods, while his phone rings. "I'm so sorry" he says while he looks who's calling him.
"It's okay, answer it"
"With Zayn... At Starbucks... No, Harry... Well I'm not coming... Because we have a day off... He kills us when we call him when he's got a day off, but when he needs us at our day off you guys think it's okay... No, I’m not coming... Fine Harry, I don't care... Yeah, bye... Bye Harry" Zayn says and puts his phone back in his pocket.
"Sounded good"
"Simon wants us to come to a meeting, and he knows we have a day off. Well I’m not going when I’m free"
"If it's really important you should go"
"If I was in Bradford I also couldn't come, so why come when I’m here. A couple of the boys are going so they can tell me what happened"
"Smart, really smart"
-*-*-*-*-*-
So we’ve been talking for almost three hours, but both of us are starting to get worried. We both decide to go to Nando’s and continue the ‘coffee thing’ there.
"You don't mind walking?" Zayn asks.
"I got these two things, so I guess I should use them” I say while I point at my legs.
“Alright, well that’s good”
It's a five minute walk from Starbucks to Nando's. But it's raining so we run and are at Nando's in like two point five minutes, a new record.
"Maura!" I hear someone almost scream; Marcus.
"Marcus!"
"Maura... Omg its Zayn" Marcus whispers.
"I know"
"Marcus, top talking with Maura and go take orders” some girl nags at Marcus.
"Gosh, is that the Elianne girl?" I ask.
"Yeah, she's so stupid, every time you talk to her you feel parts of your brains die"
"Haha, well that’s something for Kathy, so they can exchange the feeling of not having a brain"
"Well, I’m going to take some orders, bye"
"Bye" I wave to Marcus while he walks away.
"Was that that Marcus-friend?" Zayn asks me.
"Yup"
"He is a very ... Interesting person"
"I know, he is very special" I say while we walk to an empty table.
"Okay, this may sound weird but it feels like I have known you for a really long time. But it's only three hours" Zayn says.
"I totally feel the same way, it feels like I can tell you anything, and you just keep it for yourself and not tell it to the world"
"I was about to say that"
"Too late I was first"
"Hello, what would you like to order" a happy colleague of Marcus says.
"For me the same as always, with some water please"
"Holy damn, you’re Zayn Malik” she says pointing at Zayn.
No way kid, didn’t notice.
"No I’m not" Zayn says with a serious face.
"Yes you are!”
"I'm sorry but I’m not this Zayn person or something like that"
"Shut it, I know you are”
"Sorry but can you please leave my boyfriend alone. Just take his order and go" I say playing along and grabbing Zayn’s hand.
"Thank babe, you always know how to support me"
"But you are...” The girl starts again.
"Stop, and take the damn order" I say before she could finish her sentence.
"I'll take the same as my lovely girl please" Zayn says.
"Okay, I’ll bring the drinks in a second" the girl says and walks away just before Zayn and I burst into laughter.
"Her face" Zayn says while laughing.
"Haha, that was so funny" I say whipping away the tears.
"What did you order?" Zayn asks after we're done with the laughing.
"I don't know what it's called but it's something with chicken" I explain.
"Aha, sounds good"
I look at the table a notice that Zayn and I are still holding hand. I awkwardly take my hand away and feel myself blush.
"Here are your drinks" the stupid girl says giving us our drinks.
After like 15 minutes are food arrives. The awkwardness is gone and we are talking like we did before.
"This looks nice" Zayn says.
"But this time I'm paying"
"Why? I have money enough"
"I have a black card"
"Serious?"
"Yes I have”
"Nice, you and I are coming here more often in the future"
"Deal"
"Niall also has a black card, he's addicted to Nando's; it’s like his crazy obsession"
"Me and Niall are going to be good friends"
"Yeah, I think so too"
After we're finished with our food and drinks we decide to go home.
"It's still raining" I say looking outside.
"Where? Rain? What's that?" Zayn says full of sarcasm.
"Well, I’m going to skate back home”
"No, you're not going to skate in the rain"
"I guess I am"
"No, I’ll drop you of"
"No way! Than you know where I live and then you can stalk me. I don't want that"
"You knew a lot of people stalk me, but I don't even notice"
"Yeah, but that’s different”
“Sure, but I’m dropping you off at home”
"Urgh, fine, I'm going to say bye to Marcus, I’ll be right back"
"Sure, I'll wait outside" Zayn says grabbing his cigarettes out of his pocket as he walks outside and waits underneath the lean-to.
“Bye Marcus!” I say waving at him.
"Wait" Marcus says while he runs towards me. "How was your Zayn date?"
"It wasn't a date"
"What was it then?"
"it was a 'two-strangers-who-get-to-know-each-other- while-having-coffee-and-food'"
"Aha, yeah; seems legit"
"I know, well I have to go. Have fun working"
"I'll call you when I’m done"
"Sure, I’ll tell you about the non-date later”
“Alright, sounds good. Bye”
"Bye" I say walking to the door.
Zayn and I walk over to his car. We get in and he drives me back to my house.
"I have to say that I had an amazing day" I say when we’re in front of my house.
"Do you really live here?"
“No I’m just kidding, I actually live in a box underneath a bridge”
“Aha, sounds cool, well these houses here are huge"
"Well I bet your house is at least as big as these ones"
"Yeah, but we live with five persons"
"Us too"
"But I think our house is smaller"
"Haha sure” I say opening the door, “Well bye, I guess”
"Alright, bye" he says.
I give him a hug and get out of the car. I wave at him when he drives away just before I get in.
This day has been weird, I don’t know this man and suddenly it feels like we’re friends since forever…
-*-*-*-*-*-
"Where have you been all day?" My mum asks while I walk in.
"With a guy... Friend... Thing"
"A guy friend thing. What did you do?"
"We talked, drank Starbucks stuff and ate Nando's"
"And do I know this guy friend thing?"
"Nope, I met him today" I say running upstairs, avoiding more about this subject.
“Hey sis!” I hear Casper say.
"Hi brother" I say while I switch on my laptop, so I can edit the video I made a couple of days ago.
"How was your date with mister One Direction?" he as he sits down on my bed , waiting for an answer.
"Good, just a normal day" I explain.
"With a dude you barely know"
"I know a lot about him now"
"Yeah, but it's still weird"
"Whatever, you’re just jealous"
"Of who?"
"Me, that I can get in contact with cool people"
"I'm not jealous, I’m happy for you. But it's weird as fuck"
"It wasn't like we were alone in a dark alley or something like that"
"Yeah okay, but still..."
"Fine, whatever you want, I don’t care”
"You do care"
"No I don't. It's not because we are twins I have to care about stuff that you care about"
"I'm not saying that"
"I can decide what I care for, and this.. Is not it"
"Maura...”
"I had a nice day with a dude I like, as in friends. He's easy to talk to and I feel like I can tell him anything. He told me he felt the same way with me. It's not like we are in a relationship now"
"I just don't want you to fall to fast"
"Casper, common. You're not dad. I'm not going to fall for him"
"Look at him. He is nice, and I bet he’s funny and you have to agree that he isn't an ugly one"
"Yeah he is; so are you and I’m not falling for you"
"Because I’m your brother"
"Yes, you are my other half. You know me like no one else does. And you also know that I don't fall too fast"
"I know. It just that I don't want my little sister to be heart broken when he dumps you"
"Pussy" I say hugging Casper.
"Please" he says after our hug.
"I promise I won’t fall for him"
"And what if you do?"
"You get 100 pounds"
"No, don't make this a competition"
"I think I just did"
"Gosh, Maura, I hate you" he says getting up.
"You don't you love me"
"Okay bye" he says leaving my room.
He's so funny. Me and Zayn. Sure. I'm not going to do that to Marcus. He has his life planned with this guy. And Zayn isn't my type... Wait, he is. And he is hot, funny, nice, a gentleman, and a good person to talk to. But no, I’m NOT falling for Zayn Malik.
"I posted my new video, go check it out" I tweet and see that I have a couple of new followers. Haha One Direction fans would probably be like; ‘oh lord, Zayn Malik is following me’. But since I am not into his band, I won’t be tweeting the world about my new follower, named Zayn Malik.
I walk to my closet looking at all the cloths I have but never wear. I pull out a green blouse and a black skinny jean with some high heels.
Yes I wear high heels. I'm not the girly person, but high heels are awesome.
I put some mascara and eye liner on my eyes and text Mazz I’m ready, and they arrive within five minutes.
"Don't give all the guys heart attacks!" Casper yells before I leave.
"Bye!" I yell back and close the door behind me.
"Party time!" Mazz says when I get in the car.
-*-*-*-*-*-
I have a great time. Dancing, drinking a bit, and talking with random people. The only annoying thing is Andy. He has been flirty all night. Giving me compliments, drinks, trying to dance with me. I thought he was gay... Guess I’m wrong. Accept if I’m a guy, then my whole life has been a lie and Andy’s gay.
"Bye" I say closing the door of the car.
"Gosh, you really should have drunk stuff without alcohol" Andy says walking to the door with me.
"I like lions" I say.
Yes I’m a bit drunk, sorry. I talk crazy when I’m a bit drunk.
"Haha, you are funny"
"Jellybeans are funny because they're beans, but they are jelly"
"Go inside, be silence, I’ll talk to you later"
"When is later? Is that like tomorrow or like in three hours? Life is so confusing"
"Babe go inside and take a cold shower, you won't be drunk after that"
"No, I’m not drunk, I don't drink alcohol. I only drink milk"
"Bye babe" Andy says while he brings his face closer to mine.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm trying something" Andy says while he puts his lips on mine.
"Woaw, no" I say pushing him of me.
"What's the problem? You told me you liked me"
"As an apple. But I hate kissing apples"
"Gosh, why I’m I trying this? You are such a child"
"I don't have a child"
"Andy what are you doing" we hear Casper, who apparently he saw Andy’s move, say "Leave my sister alone"
"She is so stupid. I'm trying to make a move and she just-"
"Andy, she is drunk"
"Whatever" Andy says walking away.
"Common, you are going to get a cold shower you don't want mum to see your drunk face" Casper says helping me upstairs.
"I love you Cassie"
"Love you too Maura"
