CHAPTER 12

As Mum and I hop into the car, ten minutes into the drive my phone vibrates

*new text message from Zayn*

Hey, do you mind coming to the apartment? Harry needs comforting and I wanna spend the night with you, if that's okay of course

I reply:

Yeah sure, just have to ask Mum

Zayn:

Okay, the driver can pick you up from your house, text me back when your Mum says if it's alright

Okay, here we go the awkwardness of asking Mum how old she was when she first slept over boys' house and ask if I can sleepover at the apartment of an eighteen year old boy and also trying to convince her there will be no sexual activity going on into the night, great

"Hey mum, how old were you when you first slept over a boy's house that was your friend, not like a family relative?"

"I knew it! You got in with a boy there didn't you and now you want to sleepover their house, okay, and yes you can as long as I know who it is so come on spill it girl…"

Ha, what an exciting car ride already…

"Um… Zayn? The tanned boy from One Direction"

"The One Direction boys? Oh sweetheart, they're lovely, I talked to them especially Harry, he is very friendly… The tanned boy, Zayn, Yes! He is very funny but not as funny as Louis he's cracking jokes all the ti-"

"Mum! So can I go?"

"Of course you can but no hokey pokey alright, if you're going to do it, use protection"

"Oh my god! Mum!"

I can't believe she just said that! That's so gross!

"So, my question is, how are you getting there and how are you coming home? Because I have work tomorrow from eight-thirty in the morning to four oclock in the afternoon so I can't pick you up but I can drop you off"

"Zayn said their driver's going to pick me up and with the coming home I'll just take the train or bus"

"It's fine I can drop you off their house, I've been in their complex before"

"Mum? Clothes?"

"I'm sure you can borrow Zayn's clothes for the mean time"

I stick my tongue out at her and text Zayn

I'm on my way xx

He replied

Great, can't wait to see you :)

I couldn't help but smile
