3 Chapter #3 Trouble In Paradise

I turned around and appeared face to face with the devil himself. "So what did you wanna talk about I don't have all day you know," I said.

"Sally I'm sorry for the way I behaved last night. I just got caught up in the moment," he apologized. "What was done is already done so you can't change it but I forgive you anyway," I said.

"Thanks, Sally thank you so much," he said hugging me. "But," I said pushing him away from me, "you got to get a hold of yourself," I said.

"How am I supposed to get a hold of myself when you keep giving me a show?" He smirked. "When did I give you a show?"I asked confused.

"This morning you left your curtains opened when you were looking for your clothes and I saw you in your towel because my room is literally in front of yours," he said.

Stupid Sarah you left your curtains open knowing that you have neighbors. Idiot.

"Oh," I said bowing my head down to hide my face from him because I was blushing.

"Sally, don't hide your face from me. I think you look cute," he said.

"Thanks," I replied smiling at him. "I gotta get back to my friends," I said. "Okay we'll talk later," he said.

I quickly went to the cafeteria and sat by my new friends and best friend and told them everything. We all exchanged numbers and I gave my address to Claire because she offered to pick me up at school.

After lunch, I had four more periods before school was over. The three periods passed by so quickly and the fourth subject I had was PE with all my friends- including Zayn.

My friends and I went to the girls changing room and got changed.

I wore a blue sports bra with a see-through shirt, some blue Adidas shorts, and a pair of white sneakers.

After we all got changed, we went out and all the boys were staring at me like I was some sort of item or something. Like seriously get a life. Zayn and his friends came to us.

The girls were drooling over them and I just thought that maybe the girls had a crush on them. I mean who can blame them. The guys are not bad-looking at all.

"Hey koala," Zayn said whiles putting his arm around my waist and pulling me close to him. "Why did you call me that?" I asked poking my finger in his chest.

"Because you are cute but when you get angry you become fiesty," he explained. "Well then I'll also call you Mr smartass," I said. "You can call me anything but I know that you are my cute little koala," he said whiles kissing my nose.

I froze. He called me HIS. The only thing I did was stare into his blue orbs. I don't know why I always end up looking at his eyes. Maybe I have a thing for blue eyes. Maybe. We stared into each other's eyes until the voices of people clearing their throats brought us back into reality.

"Dude you brought us here to introduce us to them not to make out with the hot one," a boy with black hair said. "We weren't making out," I said. "Then tell us why you both were all lovey-dovey looking into each other's eyes and he even kissed you," Claire said putting her hands on her waist.

"We didn't kiss he just kissed my nose no biggie, "I stated. "It was still a kiss,'' Claire insisted. "You can't tell the difference between a real kiss and a kiss on the nose huh?" Zayn asked.

"This," he said before pinning me against the wall and kissing me on the lips," is a real kiss," he ended looking into my eyes I averted my eyes and looked at the boys.

"So who are they?" I asked trying to change the subject and it worked. "They are Aiden, Zack, Jason, Ryan, and Jackson," Zayn replied whiles drilling holes in the back of my head with his eyes. OOkanoly but it still worked.

"Hi, guys. I'm Sarah but you can call me Sally and they are Juliet, Juana, Anna, and my favorite, Claire," I said. "Hi," they all said.

"Sally don't look now. You've got trouble coming," Claire whispered. But I turned around anyway and saw a girl with barely any clothes on and two other two girls who look the same as her coming towards us.

"Hey babe," she said and began to rub her hands all over Zayn's arm. "Ashley not today," Zayn said, "I'm kinda in the middle of something," he said pointing at me.

She turned her head and glared at me and then she turned and kissed Zayn on the lips. I thought he would push her away but he kissed her back and I don't know why but that hurt me real bad. Maybe it's because he just kissed and then kissed another girl right in front of me. Yeah, I think that's why it hurts.

"Guys I don't feel like practicing anymore so I'm gonna go home," I said, "bye guys."

I could feel Zayn looking at me as he kissed Ashley but I didn't look back at him. I just packed all my stuff into my bag and went home.

When I arrived home, my mom was not around so I made pasta for dinner and left my mom's share in the microwave.

After dinner, I went upstairs to shower and brush my teeth and I changed into my Micky mouse pajamas. I love them so much.

I came out of the bathroom and decided to do my homework. I also took out my planner and wrote some things I needed to get done by tomorrow. It makes it much easier to wake up the next morning and know what you have to do instead of wasting precious time. After I finished, it was 9:00 pm so I decided to sleep.

     

Sarah's POV

It's been a week now since I've been avoiding Zayn. Today is Saturday. He has tried to talk to me so many times but I just ignored him. I guess I'm not ready to talk to him.

I don't even know why I'm stressing over him right now. I mean he's just like any other guy so why do I care? I'm not in a relationship with him so he can kiss whoever he wants and do whatever he wants with other girls and I won't be bothered. I have never liked anyone and I plan on keeping it that way forever and this kiss cannot change anything between Zayn and me. We are barely friends so this shouldn't worry me one bit.

If I do not like him then why am I behaving like this?

On second thought, I'm going to put all this behind me and talk to him because I feel like I am being childish about this matter.

"Sarah," my mom yelled. ''Yes mom,'' I replied. ''Come down for a sec. I need to talk to you about something really important,'' she yelled back. ''Okay,'' I said.

"What's wrong mom?"I asked. "It's nothing serious dear but I have to go on a business trip tomorrow with Mr. and Mrs. Parker so you will be staying with Zayn and I'll be back after a week," She informed me.

"What? Why?"I asked. "Zayn has a little brother and his parents don't want him to take care of his brother alone cuz he's 'irresponsible' as they put it," She replied putting air quotes around irresponsible.

"He has a little brother?" I asked. "Yes, but you didn't get to see him because his father took him out and you practically stormed out of their house the last time before they arrived." She said.

I guess this is not a bad idea because I'm planning on talking to him anyway. "Okay," I said. "Good cuz I wasn't taking no for an answer." She said. I shook my head in amusement, smiled, and went up to my room.

I packed my stuff into my purple travel bag and got ready for tomorrow.

*Next day*

This is the day I am going to talk to Zayn. I hope it goes well.*Fingers crossed*. My mom left early with Mr. and Mrs. Parker so it's time for me to go.

I wear some white jean shorts, a white cropped top with a black leather jacket, and black heel boots because after I talk to Zayn, I'll be meeting up with Claire.

I quickly took my bags and went next door.

*Knock* *Knock*

I was expecting Zayn to open the door but I saw a little boy who I assume is his brother because he has blonde hair and blue eyes like Zayn.

"Who are you?" He asked in his cute little voice. "I'm Sarah but you can call me Sally and I'm staying here because your mom and dad said I should come to take care of you," I replied bending down to reach his level and ruffling his hair. "Okay come in," he said.

I went in and left my bag at the door. "What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Zach. Can I call you Sal? Because you are nice." He asked. "Sure," I replied.

We talked for a while then I realized that I haven't seen Zayn since I came here. "Zach, where's your brother?" I asked. "He's taking-" He didn't get to finish his sentence because Zayn came rushing down the stairs in only his towel and asked, "Who was at the door?" He stopped midway down the stairs when he saw me.

I quickly turned around. Nice body but I don't want to see him almost naked. "Sally?" He asked in confusion. "Yes, it's me. Um, can you please wear something before we talk?" I asked. "Uh okay," he said.

He quickly went upstairs and wore a shirt with some jeans and came down the stairs. "Zach, go and play with your toys in your room okay?" He said ruffling his brother's hair. "But I wanna play with Sal" Zach whined. "Sal?" Zayn asked. "Yeah, it's my new name for Sally because she's my best friend," Zayn stated.

"That's true but can we play later? I wanna talk to your brother and then we'll play later okay?" I told him. "Okay but don't take too long," Zach said. "Okay I won't," I said smiling and he left.

I turned around and realized that Zayn was staring at me with a smile on his face. "He does like you huh?" He asked. "Yeah, I guess.." I trailed off.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you this whole week. It's just that I had some things going on in my mind and I just wanted some space. I am sorry." I apologized. "Sadly it wasn't your fault. It was mine. I practically kissed you and kissed another girl in front of you so you have every right to be mad at me." He explained.

"I don't have to be mad at you for that. It was just a kiss with no strings attached anyway," I said. I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes but it quickly went away.
