Since my top had been ripped completely, Zayn had to lend me his black T-shirt which obviously making me float by the length. So I had to tuck it in my denim shorts which I wore last night thus matching the new trend. Zayn himself ended up in a white T-shirt, black jacket, a pair of black jeans which hung on his waist and a pair of white loafers. He looked really decent and hot in the attire he chose to be in.

We both got ready quickly and slipped out of the room, slowly making our way to 'I don't know where'. As we were walking,his hand slipped into mine and gripped my fingers softly. The soft touch itself sent the tingling shiver up my body. I looked up and smiled at him and he returned the gesture with a sexy one. I hope nothing is awkward between us.

The moment we stepped into the elevator, he squeezed my hand. I looked at him surprised. God, I really shouldn't get so lost in thought. He pressed the ground floor button. We still had a lot of floors to go. Forty-seven to be exact... Now forty-six. God, this is really going to get awkward. Just as I thought. Or maybe not.

He turned to face me. The free hand cupped one side of my face and I, without any realisation, tilted my head to the side by the soft touch of his hand. "Arya, I'm really sorry... I didn't know you have boyfriend... If you had told me yesterday, then maybe I would let you be bu-" My long slender finger against lip, silencing his fore-coming words. "Zayn, Chill down! Yesterday was a mistake and we both know it. As you said, we both didn't know what we were doing... plus I was quite living in the excitement of meeting you. So I may have forgotten to mention it." I say. And now it makes me look like I'm the devil.

Some silence as we looked into each other's eyes, basking in each other's presence. "You know, Arya?.... I really like you... I'm even thinking of kidnapping you right now?" He breathed and my cheeks began to redden. God, he such a flirt! "That coming out from a star is sure very flattering." I say, batting my eyelids. That whole show seemed what all best friends do. Like act like you are flirting with each other. And trust me, it's fun. We both are flirting with each other and yet we know that it means nothing. "As if!!! You know I'm only human." He points out. Yes, yes, yes! I know that he hates it when people treat him like god-almighty even though he has made it absolutely clear that he is more of a down-to-earth guy...

"And my favourite artist!" I retort unknowingly. Suddenly he gets interested. "Ok! That's new!" I looked confused. "What's new?" "That I'm your fave artist?" I still give him a confused look. What does he even mean? "I don't know... The first time I met you, I thought you were Liam's or Harry's gurl." He explained. "No worries, Mr Malik! I'm purely Zayn's girl." I confirm with a blush. "Oh I think I already know! Remember the tattoo..." He says with an amused look and I smack him on the elbow, both of us silently laughing. My arm clung on to his. I had the gorgeous smile on, he licked his lower lip. No! Not because he wanted to kiss me. Because it was his silly old habit which really looked adorable.

Just as we quietened down, he let something slip. "You've got a voice of an angel." He complimented and in return I frown hard. When has he ever heard me sing? My own boy friend who I have been dating for 8 months has never heard me sing. So how- "What?! I heard you sing when you were in the bathroom this morning." Oh!!! The time when I was brushing the knots of my hair. I was actually humming to my self... Ok! Singing!!! I was singing to my self. "Thanks but you are not breathing a word about this to any one... Or I might be forced to kill you." I threatened jokingly. "Actually... I was going to offer you the invitation to sing on stage for our concert." He said frankly. Me? No way! I have horrible stage fright. I will never be able to sing on stage. I'll only end up dying in total humiliation. And the door slid opened.

"I think I'll stick to my stage, the bathroom." I say as he slipped his hand again in mine and we stepped outside. Thankfully there was hardly any one in the lobby. Otherwise there would have been camera flashes everywhere and the big news headline would be 'Mr Malik cheating on his fiancée with just another girl', or maybe 'Bradford bad boy prefers another girl over Little Mix singer, even when engaged'. That would truly be a nightmare I didn't want to see.

He opened the door like a true gentleman and offered a smile a with it. Ooh, what's gotten into him? But I like this him. I really don't understand this. Every one has one side over power the other, either the good or bad. But he has both under his control. When he chooses the good, he can be this really sweet and gentle person, a true, handsome angel with an amazing voice. But when he moves over to the bad side, he can be this hot and sexy tease with the devilish looks with alluring charms. And I love them both. I don't even know which side I like better.

Our hands interlock with each other and he led me towards the table where the boys sat. Niall was busy hogging, Harry was texting and chuckling, Liam met my eyes and smiled, Louis and his girl friend, Eleanor were still taking their breakfast. Not a very welcoming of the day, is it? "Vas happenin, guys?" Zayn greeted. Every one looked up. "Don't even ask... Just remind us never to give you the keys while you are drunk." Harry pointed out as he set his phone aside. Zayn seemed confused. "Why?" "Well, since you had all the keys, we couldn't go to our rooms. We had to go to the manager to get the master key. Hard time. Don't ask!" He summarised. Liam was still looking at my eyes and smiling softly.

"I'm sorry, guys. But I was a little busy yesterday..." Zayn reasoned just as Louis and Eleanor came to the table and took their seats. "A lot I guess by the looks of that..." Harry muttered but his voice was over powered by Niall. "At least introduce the sweet dish to us." "Oh... yeah... Ummm, Guys, this is Ariel who I lovingly call Arya and Arya, this is Harry, Niall, Louis, his girl friend, Eleanor and as you have met yesterday, Liam..." He said, introducing each person respectively. "Hello, Arya!!!" All of them chose to say my nickname in chorus. "Hi!!!" I say shyly. Zayn pulled a chair for me and signalled me to sit and with a smile I did. And off he went somewhere, leaving me with his band mates which was a little awkward. I only knew Liam so that shouldn't be much of a problem. I was already sitting beside him which also made me feel better.

"Nice to see you again, Love." He greeted and I smiled in reply. "So Arya, how did you meet Zayn?" Eleanor asked, trying to ignore Louis's eyes as he held her hand in those romantic ways. God, they are so cute together. I totally ship them together. Elounor Forever!

Every one's attention on me. "Ummm... I met him last night. Near the sea." I admitted. Didn't want to give more away! "Bailed on his own party, I see... Wonder how Perrie is going to react to this?" Harry comments and then pretends he was in deep thought about this. God, why is he so cold to me? "No worries, Love... He just loves to taunt Zayn." Liam comforted. I nod understandingly.

Just then Zayn comes and sits beside me, after sliding the plate infront me which contained waffles and hot chocolate syrup. Mmmmm... The aroma itself is so breath-taking... I mean mouth-watering. I turned to look at Zayn with a frown. "What?" He asked. "Why did you bring me waffles and chocolate syrup?" I asked unbelievably. "Well, you seemed like a chocolate girl... But why?" "Because I'm allergic to it." I whisper uneasily. I didn't wanna let him down. I mean it was so sweet of him to bring me breakfast.

"Oh shit! I'm so sorry. I'll-" He was going to get up to go and get me a new plate but I pulled him down. "Chill, I was kidding. It is absolutely my favourite breakfast." I say with a giggle. He shook his head slowly with a small smile which made me give him a cheeky one. "Ok, so what were you guys talking about?" Zayn announced, desperate to change the topic. Harry was back onto his phone. Louis and Eleanor were doing some love talking and you could understand by the amount of giggling. Niall had finished his food and seemed like he wanted more so he gave his cheshire, lovable smile to Zayn by eyeing his food which he had to slide it to him after a soft sigh, making Niall all happy again. While Liam zoned out to his dream world, I had to wave my hand in front of his eyes a couple of times before I could get his complete attention. But when Zayn used his voice, every one turned to look at him.

"Well, Harry was interested to know what Perrie was going to think about all of this." I say all most too much innocently while I had to ignore Harry's glare. I'm sorry, Harry but paybacks a bitch. Every one looked at him, he didn't even utter a word. "Harry? But you hate Perrie! Why would you even ask that?" Zayn exclaimed unbelievably. Harry in reply just gave away a sigh before answering. "I'm sorry... But my day just started off bad." He reasoned. "Lemme guess... Bad hair day?" Louis answered innocently. He nodded helplessly. "Harry, I think your hair looks sexy how ever it is." I blurt out.

Every one's eyes on me as if I never understood the concept of bad hair day. "I mean it's you, Harry. Your hair can never look bad. As much as I know people all around the world love your hair how ever it is. People consider you as their trend setter and have been really jealous of your hair." I reason, trying to support my words as well as comfort him. "You think so?" He asks with eyes filled with hope. "No, I know so. In fact Zayn himself is jealous of your hair."I say patting Zayn's back, hoping he'd know what to do. "Sadly as I hate to admit it but Arya is telling the truth." Zayn supported by muttering but his words were audible enough for Harry to hear. "Well, maybe you are right..." he sighed as he removed the beanie he wore which revealed his hair. And truthfully there was nothing wrong with it. It was perfect. "Harry Styles! What is wrong with you?" Eleanor exclaimed. And I have to agree with her. What is wrong with him?

"Your hair is perfect!" I exclaimed in the same tone as Eleanor. "No, but this curl..." he whined helplessly but was cut off by Eleanor. "Harry, quit acting like a girl." "Ya, trust us! It's perfect!" I supported her with a knowing smile. All the boys looked at us, not ready to say a word. After all, who wants to face the wrath of a simple girl?

"Thanks Arya... I would hug you tight right now but the table is on the way." Finally he smiled. There is the Harry I know. "Thanks for the flattery, Harry." I mumbled as I looked down to my plate. Half the food was done and I didn't even take a bite as I was comforting Harry across the table.

"Thanks for stealing my food, Zayn. Even though I didn't really notice." I mutter with a sigh. "Sorry but my food is in Niall's stomach." He reasoned. "Well, I never asked you to be generous." I point out. "But you can't say no to a face like that." I looked at Niall and now he was looking at me now with the puppy dog eyes and a cute pout, trying to see if I was that willing under his magic charm. "I guess you are right..." I muttered to Zayn and then spoke to Niall. "I'm sorry, Niall. But Zayn is getting really thin and really needs to eat. So I'm feeding him." I say with a smile as I take my fork which had a piece already dipped in chocolate and had it in front of Zayn's mouth. He willingly opened his mouth and took the bite.

See, I proved my point. I see Niall frown and then looked at Liam for his food. But he was sucked back into his dream world so I don't think it would make much difference if the food was gone. So I slid the plate towards Niall who happily attacked the food. "Aah!!!" I looked weirdly at Zayn who had his mouth wide open, showing off his pearly, shiny white teeth. "What?" I ask. "I'm waiting!..." He says impatiently and again left his mouth wide open. I was still not getting it. What does he want? "For what?" "The food obviously... Got to admit, food does taste nice coming from your hands." "Enough with the flattery, Malik!" I say giggling as I feed him the bite I was playing which he happily munched on.

Slowly my plate was left clean, everything ended up in his stomach. "Happy, Mr Malik?" I ask with a sweet smile. "Very!!!" He admitted. A burp escaped. But it wasn't from Zayn's lips. It was from Niall. Every one looked at him which included Liam snapping away from his dream world. "Sorry!" He apologizes even though all of us knew he didn't mean it.

"Hey man! You finished my food too!" Liam complained. "Well, I'm sorry LiLi but the food complained you weren't treating it right." Niall said it with a simple shrug while Liam rolled his eyes at him. He knew nothing could be done with him. After all, he is Niall.

Seeing that my breakfast is done that too with one direction, I had to go. I wish I could stay here longer but no, it would make me feel more guilty than I already am. I stand up. "Ok, guys! It has really been a pleasure meeting you guys and now, I really have to go. My family doesn't know where I am and so I must go back." I say sadly. Hey! I didn't want to go so fast but maybe just stay for a few moments. But I would just make it difficult for myself. Zayn spoke up before any one could question my actions. "Ya, she's right! I'll just see her goodbye." He takes my hand and gives me a smile which I gladly return.

Slowly making our way to the entrance of the famous hotel, I turned towards him and before I could even say a word, a voice interrupts me. "Do you really think we would let you go without a proper farewell?" I turn around. All of them standing there behind me. Louis was smirking plus I could tell it was his voice.

"That depends, Louis." I shrugged but then suddenly Harry hugged me tight and whispered " I'm really sorry for my behaviour, Arya." He apologised. "It's ok, Harry... It happens. After all even I've gone through it a couple of times" I say with a smile. I'm a girl. What would you expect? "Well, we should get to know each other better if that makes you feel nice." He says, trying to make it up as he pulled away. "I already feel nice, if that's coming out from a star." I joke and he punches me lightly on the shoulder, making us both laugh.

Next was Eleanor and before I could say anything, she hugged me. "Finally a company of a girl in a whole boy world and now they are shooing you away. This is not fair!" She complained, not caring who all heard it. There were protests behind. Again I was going to speak up but she cut me off. "I thought we could go shopping, watch all romantic cheesy movies and do all the girly stuff that these boys don't allow me to do. But you are going now." She said tearfully. "Eleanor, chill!!! I'll come back and do all things you ever imagined. But right now, I need my family to know I'm safe." I reason. She pulls away and looks at me with her beautiful eyes. "You promise?" She asked innocently with hope. "Yes! I promise!"

Before Eleanor could say or do anything, Louis pulled me out of her way and hugged me. God, I am getting hugged a lot. That too by one direction. Pretty lucky, huh? Eleanor glared at her very much loved boy-friend. "I wasn't done with her." Her voice deepened. He pulled away but he held my wrists. "Knowing you El, I know that you will never be done." And his attention was back to me. "I heard you love playing pranks." "Who told you that?" I asked curiously in a hurry. What? Have these guys done a Wikipedia search on me? Wait, I doubt there will be a Wikipedia page for me anyway.

"Well... Consider a little birdie told me... So now that I know you play pranks, maybe you and I can partner up and prank the boys sometime?" I smiled. Offer very appealing. And we both are getting something out of it. Interesting! "Louis! That is a very interesting offer which I'll be glad to accept."

All the boys groaned at my answer. "Not again!" Murmurs could be heard. Only Louis and I had smirks on our faces and Eleanor rolled her eyes.

I stepped towards Niall and he had this huge cute pout and he refused to look at me. "Niall?... Niall?" Still he refused to look at me but he did cross his arm on his chest. "Hey, how about I invite you home some time and I'll cook for you? Some delicious Italian maybe? I bet it will be better than Nandos..." I try to make my offer sound as appealing to make his mouth water. Well, I do have my success. Finally some eye contact. "You promise?" Still in the pout mode. "I do!" His face beamed. "Come let's go!" He yelled as he hooked his arm into mine and tried dragging me with him which he managed to do so. "Niall! I said some time! Not now!" I yell so he could comprehend what I just said. "Oops sorry!" He giggled as he left my arm and then hugged me. "Thanks for the offer. I will accept it 'some time'." I didn't say a word but he let me go with a smile

Liam! He smiled sweetly at me as he pulled me into a hug. "Gonna miss you, Love... But it was nice meeting you." He muttered softly in my ear. "You too Liam!" I did the same. "Promise we'll keep in touch." "Sure..." Today, I have made a lot of promises. And now I'm gonna doubt if I'll be able to keep them. One of them is bound to slip up. Oh My God! Brain overload!

As he pulled away, his lips brushed my cheek softly. OMG! Was I the only one who felt that? I hope it didn't mean anything. Or maybe he didn't realise. But the smile he gave me, now I know it was done on purpose. But thankfully my face betrayed no emotion.

And the last one who was left to say good bye was Zayn. I stood in front of him and looked up at his eyes as he let his fingers mingle with mine. Standing there for a few moments was magical but with people looking at us, it was quite distracting. Zayn let out a sigh before looking at them with a glare. Thankfully Eleanor understood by what the glare meant. "Guys, I think they need some privacy." But the guys were too adamant to leave that Eleanor had to literally push every one away to get what we wanted. Except for Louis cause he got pulled by the ear.

Zayn looked back into my eyes as his hands settle on my waist. "Thanks for such an incredible night... I loved it." An amused feeling hit in as my brow arched. "You actually remember? I thought you were completely drunk." I say though I'm quite surprised that I'm not angry. "Well, yeah I do remember parts and bits." He admitted quite unsure. "Truthfully, I remember nothing." I shrug. His hands left my waist and grasped my fingers. We began to walk slowly, making our way outside the hotel.

"So what's your boy friend's name?" He asked and I snapped back into reality. God, I zoned out again. I was just thinking about what's gonna happen next. Will the one direction forget me or what happened today? Will they even keep in touch? Will I be able to keep my promises? Am I going to ever remember what happened yesterday? Will my family know about this? What will my boy friend say if he knew what even happened? Should I even tell him? So many thoughts roamed in my mind. Damn, I was so confused.

" Huh?" I looked at him confused. "Your boyfriend?" He asked again. "Oh! His name is Luke." I say taking out my iphone and showing the picture I had of him. It was a black and white picture of him in nerd glasses and a beanie. God, he looked so hot. And that makes me want him right now. I'm missing him so much already. But I do have the patience to wait for few days, right?

"You love him, right?" He asked softly. I nod. "A lot?" I nod again. "And what are you going to do about this?" "I don't know!" I whisper as my eyes search the ground. I seriously don't know what to do...

"It's ok! You are smart enough to figure out. Just... don't get into any trouble." His arm was around my shoulder trying to comfort me. Truthfully it was helping and I knew exactly what he was talking about. He just meant that the relationship shouldn't be ruined because of him. I just don't know how to do this.

"So you want me to drop you home?" He offered when he realised that finally it was the time for me to go. "Nah, it's ok! I'll take a cab." I say, trying to smile but I was still quite disturbed on the outcome that was still bound to come. What should I do cause I had no clue...
        "Are you sure?" He asked once again. I nod as I bit my lip helplessly. His hands cupped my heart-shaped face and he lightly pressed his lips against mine. I knew that it meant nothing else but in a very friendly way. A glimpse in the eye before he left me only to wrap his arms around me for a warm bear hug.

"I'm gonna miss you!" He whispered into my ear. "I'll miss you too... Thanks for such an amazing day though." It stayed like that for some time before he pulled away. I could smell his signature scent lingering. "Had to be. It was our birthday after all." Which made me smile. I called for the taxi which appeared faster than it usually does. "You do know this is the last time I'll be meeting you right?" I looked back at him. "Yes, Zayn! I know you are on tour... But we can always keep in touch, right?" "Yeah but-" I placed my finger on his lips before he could say anything. "I know... But at least we have something to connect through." I removed my finger and he opened the door for me. I sat down and he shut the door behind. "Bye Arya!" And the cab drove off before my farewell was audible enough for him to even hear...
