Alice's POV
....."That she isn't you" he said while he was staring at me. I don't know if he actually means what he says, or he just says it to make me trust him, but I do know that his comment made me smile. The problem is that it's too good to be true. Zayn having a crush on me.... I would have never imagined that. Never in a milion years. And that's why I don't know if I should believe him or not.
"I know what you're thinking" his voice interrupted my deep thoughts."You're thinking that I say all these because I want to make you trust me. But truth is that when I say something, I mean it" he finished.
"Yeah but still" I paused to take in his reaction "I can't fully trust you. I still think that you are just another bad boy" I smirked to make it seem more like a joke rather than the truth.
"You're right to think that way. I've done so many things in the past but I will change, for you"
"I don't want you to change for me, I don't want you to think that I want you to be someone else because I don't like you. I want you to change because you want to be a better person" I honestly replied.
"But I want to be a better person for you" he insisted.
"Okay" I gave in. I checked the time and it was 16.34. That means that my mom has returned at home half an hour ago. I felt a panic attack hitting me, if she finds out that I'm with Zayn she'll start screaming at me. Just by the thought my pulse quickened.
"What's wrong?" Zayn asked me.
"I have to go home" I stood up and I started pacing quickly towards the exit of the place we were. I could hear Zayn's footsteps following me. When I went outside, I turned around to face him.
"My mom is gonna kill me if she finds out that we were together" I told him.
"Okay let's go" He said and he handed me his helmet and he started ridding his motorcycle as fast as he could. I loved the was that I had my arms wrapped around his waist and that I could smell his cologne. He pulled of in front of my house and I got of the motorcycle quickly. I was about to get into the porch that leads to my house but Zayn grabbed my arm and he yanked me gently closer to him. He started for some seconds into my eyes and he leaned in to kiss me. I'm not ready to do this. I turned my face so he could kiss my cheek and I did the same to him. I smiled back to him and I left.
When I entered my house I was ready to hear my mom lecturing me. Before I even managed to say hi, she started yelling.
"Where have you been young lady?" she looked at me suspiciously. Her dark eyes stared at me impatiently waiting for a believable answer.
"I...I was with Eva. Sorry for not calling you, it's just that my phone battery died" I gave her the best explanation I could think.
"Do you think that I will even consider to believe this?" she threw her arms in the Air.
"But that's the truth" I raised my voice.
"So is it just a coincidence that you arrived exactely the same time that Zayn did?"
"I think you are overreacting mom" I said. "I told you I was with Eva, what reason do I have to lie to you?" I continued. Techically, I was lying really big and I'm also dragging Eva to my lie but I can't do anything else.
"You have many reasons actually, Alice"
"Do you want me to call Eva to confirm it to you?" That was my last chance to convince her. I looked at her with the most honest expression I've ever performed.
"Are you telling me the truth?" she asked me.
"Yes mom"
"Okay. I'll believe you that time but be careful because trust is earned with difficulty" she warned me and she went to the kitchen. I shighed in relief and I went to my bedroom.
The first thing I did was call Eva and let her know what happened.
"Hey Alice!" she cheerfully picked up the phone.
"Hi. I have to tell you many things"
"Start with the worst one! she asked me.
"Okay...my mom was asking me were I had been and I told her that I was with you, so in case anyone asks we were together" I informed her.
"Okay got it! Now tell me, how was the date?" she asked and I could realize that she was grinning.
"It wasn't a date, and it went pretty good. He was polite and funny and we had fun"
"Good! Where did he take you?"
"At a car racing field!" I said. I never imagined that I would have so much fun in a place like that.
"Car racing field?" she repeated my words.
"Yeah"
"Isn't it weird for a first date to be at a place like that?"
"No, it's not because it wasn't a date!"
"Okay, okay!" she laughed. "Anyway, I have to go at the gym, see you later"
"Oh okay, bye" I hang up.
I was ready to take my clothes of and put on my pyjamas when my mother yelled my name.
"Alice, someone asks you at the phone!" I heard her voices coming from living room. I immediately thought it was Zayn. Is he crazy enough to call me at my house? I went to my mom to ask her who it was.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"I don't know, he just said that he wants you" she said and I put the phone in my ears being ready to hear Zayn's voice.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey Alice" an Irish accent said. I was kinda relieved to see that it was Niall and not Zayn.
"Hey Niall, how are you?"
"Good, what about you?" he said.
"Same" I replied.
"So, I was wondering do you want to come at my house for dinner or something? My mom wants to see you and she and your father agreed that it would be nice if you came over" he explained.
"I don't know...it's too far" I said and a brainwave hit me. What if Zayn drove me to London with his motorcycle? That way we will be able to walk around London with him and have fun and I will also visit Niall.
"Can't you use the train or something?" he suggested.
"Maybe but I have another idea!" I said. "Tell me the date and the time and I'll be there!" I added excited. It will be fun to spent a day with Zayn at London.
"What about Saturday? You could come in the morning and leave by night"
"Great! See you then, bye" I ended the call.
I didn't even managed to put the phone on the table and my mother started questioning me.
"Who was it?" she asked curiously.
"My step-brother" I said with a straight face just to piss her of.
"Your what?" her eyes widened.
"Niall, my step-brother, my dad's fiance's son, how else can I explain it?" I snapped.
"Alice, loose your attitude please" she warned me.
"Okay, whatever. I'm going to London on Saturday. I'll use the train" I stated. She was ready to tell my that I won't go but then I looked at her with determination and she can't deny to me. She knows that Derek is my dad and that she can't hold me back from him.
"Fine" she sighed after some seconds of thought.
"Thanks, I'm going to my room"
I looked out of the window. I saw Zayn at the yard patting his dog's head. He looked like a child as he was commanding his dog to do different things. He was laughing and he looked so peaceful. I wanna get to know that side of him. Until this point, I've only seen his mysterious side but now I want to see his sensitive one. I opened the window to see him better.
He was really carefree and I could say he had fun, until he spotted my face staring at him. I immediately felt a heat running through my body as his eyes met mine and my cheeks turned into a shade of red. He smiled at me and I smiled back. Then he took his mobile phone out of his pocket and he typed something. Two seconds after, I heard my phone ringing. It was a text from him.
*You look so pretty while you're staring at me*
I was smiling at the screen and then I looked back at him. I decided to reply to him:
*Thank you...I was wondering if you want to come with me at somewhere....*
He looked at his phone screen and he typed again.
*Sure princess, I would go to the other side of the world with you*
I laughed at his cheesyness. I looked out of the window again and I saw Harry coming next to him. They started talking and then Zayn gave him his cell phone. Oh my God, he's gonna read our text messages. He laughed at Zayn and he patted his shoulder and then he typed.
*Hey Alice, why don't you come down here with us?*
*I would but my mom won't let me* I replied. Zayn took his cell phone to reply to me.
*Harry suggested that we go at his house tomorrow for a movie..are you in?*
*Sure, I'll tell Eva*
*Okay, I gotta go beautiful, I'll miss you, see you tomorrow*
*Goodbye* I plainly replied. I'm not really good with words...
The rest of the day went fine. I looked myself in the mirror at night. I would usually say that I have to change something to be more attractive but now I see something different. My weight, my hair, my built and everything was the same but I had a special glow in my eyes. A glow that made my whole self seem different. I felt brighter and refreshed. Suddenly, I can finally see what I didn't before. I feel happier and I know the reason. He's the reason that I can see things in a more positive way. Just by looking into my eyes, someone could realize that I'm in love....
A/N: Hey! I know that I usually update on Wednesdays but I didn't have time so I did it today! I have a question! Is there anyone going to WWA Tour? If you do then you're reallyyyyy lucky! I'm from Greece and they won't come here so.....Anyway, what do you think about this chapter? I hope you liked it, kisses,
