Chapter 30:The Stuck Up Know It All and the Vain(Mia)
Right so the keys are with Janelle who lives right next to us?"I ask Liv.
Uh-huh,"Liv says. And your car keys are in the apartment too,"
Right okay then hope you enjoy your stay back at home,"I tell her.
How is it with the lads and how are the girls like?"
The lads are okay and the girls are terrific. I love them all so much,"I say, thinking of Eleanor and Danielle fondly.
Really?"Liv says cheerfully. And how's our Bradford Bad Boi eh?"
He's good. We're sharing a room together,"I say. Yeah I know, I know but we're not going to do anything,"
Are ya sure?"Liv asks.
I'm sure,"I tell her.
Right well then I've gotta go,"she says. My flights about to leave and I should really go now,"
Okay bye Liv,"I tell her. I love you,"
Me too,"She says. Normally I would have gone to see her off but she was all the way at Rochester at her aunt's place and I couldn't drive up all the way to Rochester.
Right Zayn, I'm going to go pick up my car,"I tell him. You wanna come?"
Sure,"he says and jumps up. We get a cab to my apartment and then pay him.
Right so this is it,"I tell Zayn.
This is it?"Zayn asks, looking around glumly.
What's wrong?"I ask.
Well I expected something bigger and modern,"he says and I whack his head lightly.
Not everybody's rich like you,"I tell him and grab his hand. We take the lift and then head up to my floor.
Right Can you just wait here?"I ask Zayn.
Why?"He asks.
Because I have to get the keys from my neighbour and if she's kind of old fashion. If she sees you she might think we're having some sort of affair and then blurt it out to the entire world,"I tell him and he laughs.
Steamy,"Zayn says with a wink. I laugh and then head to my neighbour's door and then knock.
Er hello Jan.. er I mean Mrs. Parker, I'm here to get my keys from you,"I say, smiling.
What keys?"she asks suspiciously.
Er the keys my friend Olivia gave to you?"I say. She thinks hard for a moment and then her expression lights up.
Just a minute,"She says and then hobbles off to get my keys.
There you go,"she says kindly.
Thanks ,"I tell her and smile.
You welcome Mia,"she says and then closes her door.
Right I got my keys,"I tell Zayn.
Oh good,"Zayn says eagerly. I fumble a little with the keys and then turn the lock and push the door open.
Welcome to my heavenly abode, Zayn Malik,"I say in a mysterious voice. Zayn chuckles and heads inside with me. The apartment is clean and sparkling. I guess Liv really cleaned up or maybe got someone to come in and do it for her.
Right I've got my car keys,"I say, holding them up and then head to my room with Zayn following me closely. I open it and my eyes widen.
Whoa,"I say and turn around to push Zayn from coming in. But he's already seen everything and his eyes widen and he blushes. My room is an utter mess from the last time I was here and there's underwear all over my room and clothes and books and coffee cups on my table from late night studying and more.
Right let me just get this cleaned up,"I tell Zayn who laughs and comes in.
I'll help you,"he says.
No,"I yelp. Don't touch anything,"
Why?"Zayn asks confusedly.
Well I don't want you touching my stuff,"I tell him.
I'm just going to help you out,"He protests.
No,"I tell him. Now get out,"I continue and push him out. He laughs.
Fine,"he says. I close my door after him and start cleaning up. And then I come across a box labelled Mine!. We didn't have much time so I decided to bring it along with me to the hotel.
Right I'm done,"I say and step out of my room.
Great, lets go,"Zayn says brightly, taking a swing of the can of Red Bull from the fridge. I grab my car keys, lock up my apartment and then head to my car.
Not bad,"Zayn says approvingly. What's in the box?"
I'm not sure,"I tell him. I'll open it in the hotel room,"
He nods and turns the radio on. He play around for a while with it until I swathe his hand away. I drive fast back to the hotel, where I hand my keys to the valet.
Thanks,"I say to the Marco, the guy at the valet and smile.
No problem, Miss,"he says cheerfully. Zayn and I head back to our room and we bump into the boys and Ele and Danni.
Where did you guys head too?"Harry asks.
I had to go get my car at my apartment and some stuff,"I tell him.
Oh. What's in the box?"Niall asks. Food?"
Oh Niall. Why do you think that everything contains food?"Liam asks chuckling.
What?"Niall says defensively. I'm hungry,"
We laugh and then everyone heads to our room. While I head to my side of the room, Niall pokes his head into the fridge, Louis races to the bathroom and the rest put the TV on.
I open the box and then start going through it. In it was pictures when we had first moved to England, locks of hair from my first haircut, old writings, a collection of Harry Potter merchandise and the story books too. I smiled as I went through the box and then I came across another box which had a heart on it. I smiled and blushed lightly as I opened it slowly.
So what's in the box?"Zayn asks, poking his head through the door and giving me a scare. I drop the box and the contents of the box fall out and scatter about in the room. I bend down quickly and try to grab everything at once. I can't let Zayn see this. Zayn falls to his knees and then helps me pick up my stuff.
What's all these pieces of paper?"he says with a laugh and then reads one of it. I make a grab for it and then watch in disbelief as Zayn's expression turns into an unreadable look.
What's this all about?"Zayn asks, waving about the piece of paper. On it was Liv's faded writing which had Zayn's name and 'Mia's Sexy Bad Boy' scrawled all over it.
That is nothing,"I say and grab the paper from him. I scramble for the rest of the stuff and stuff them back into the box and leave it on my table.
Can we go?"I ask, not looking at Zayn's face.
Mia?"Zayn says.
Yeah?"I say with a sigh and turn around and face him.
What was that?"he asks firmly this time.
Its just some notes that Liv used to pass to me when we were in school,"I explain. She just liked teasing me and that's about it,"
Why do you still have it then?"Zayn asks and leans over the table. He pushed over the box of all the notes down accidentally and we sigh together.
Shit sorry,"Zayn says, getting back on to his knees.
Don't be daft. It happens to anyone,"I tell him. I chuck everything back into the box and reach for the last paper on the floor. Zayn's hand reaches for it too and our hands touch in typical fashion. He looks up at me and then looks deep into my eyes.
(Zayn)
Her gaze is just magnetically pulling me towards her and I use my right hand to move around her neck and slowly lean in to her face closer, closer and closer.
Zayn?"Mia says pulling back. What are you doing?"
I'm trying to kiss you?"I blurt out before I can stop myself.
Zayn I'm with someone else now,"Mia says with an unreadable expression. Is she for real?
So you're saying that the kiss we shared before I left for the tour meant nothing to you huh?"I ask her. That we meant nothing at all to you until you had to go and start cheating on me with someone else? Way to being a hypocrite Mia,"
Excuse me, but I never asked you to kiss me,"she says loudly. And you just walked away from me after that kiss so what did you expect me to think? That we're automatically together when you ignore me for the next six months?"
I had my thoughts to sort out,"I yell back. But I meant the kiss,"
Wow then you should have told me that the kiss meant something to you because then we wouldn't be fighting over some silly thoughts you had to sort out,"She says sarcastically.
Well yeah I wouldn't have had to have gone and sort out my thoughts if you weren't making me feel all confused about this,"
Oh so now I'm the one to blame because you felt all confused about this?"Mia scoffs. Go get a brain Zayn,"
Well its not my fault that you have an overloaded brain that just loves to correct people and make it clear that you're a a stuck-up bloody know it all,"I shoot back.
I am not a stuck up know it all,"Mia protests. At least I'm not vain like you and can't myself a driving license because you'd probably be so busy looking at yourself in the mirror to even drive,"
Whatever, just get out my room will you?"I say, shaking with anger.
You're in my room,"Mia says triumphantly.
Fine then I'll go out then,"I say but stupidly stand my ground.
You were leaving?"Mia says, narrowing her eyes.
Oh er, yes,'I say and then recover. I'm leaving,"
I push past her and fling open the door angrily.
What are you looking at?"I ask the bunch of them whose eyes are all on me.
(Mia)
Stupid idiotic cow,"i murmur under my breath and pace around my room angrily. Thinks he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants,"
I continue like that and then sit down heavily on my bed. I hated it fighting like this with him, it made me feel guilty and the best part was I didn't even start this fight in the first place.
Go apologise,"I order myself and stand up and then hesitate and sit back down. I repeat this for a few more times until I get up and walk to the door and much to my suprise, Zayn falls into the room.
I'm really...,"We both say at the same time.
Zayn I...,"I say at the same time he says my name.
I'm really sorry,"We both blurt out at the same time. I smile and Zayn chuckles and gives me the smile that make my heart melt.
Forgiven,"We both say at the same time.
We need to stop that,"We say again together and then we laugh.
