Chapter 35: Second Thoughts.
Melanie's P.O.V:
"Whose smile?" Before I can reply to him, I hear Lottie's voice in his background. Does Lottie know that Louis like me? She saw us almost kissing in the ground, and she teases us about that. But I am worried if she would even agree for me to go on a date with Louis because he is my best friend's brother, and it's pretty awkward to date your best friend's brother. I am lucky that Zayn and I never liked each other, and it would never be awkward for Waliyha and I in that case. But it could be pretty awkward with Lottie and I. I hope she doesn't have a problem with Louis and I.
"None of your business Lottie," he says to her, which makes me chuckle.
"Are you talking to Mel?" She asks him, with a tease in her voice. She is teasing, so is that a sign that she wouldn't have a problem with us?
"N-O-N-E of your business," he sings, making me laugh.
"And I can wait the whole day to hear this laugh." He says to me. He should stop because I can't control the heat on my cheeks, the butterflies and the wide smile which is spread on my lips.
"Oh my God, Louis! You're flirting with my best friend because I just called her and her user is busy on the other line!" she shrieks, making me nervously laugh, and Louis groans at her. Please don't be mad at me.
"Your best friend and I are going on a date tonight," he says in a sassy tone, and I can imagine him smirking at that time. Stupid, I wanted to tell her on my own but he just ugh..
"You guys are going too fast, first the kiss and now you're going on a date. Are you guys planning on making me an aunt in nine months? Cut the call I wanna talk to her, or give me your phone." She demands, but Louis refuses to give Lottie his phone. I can't figure out with her tone if she is angry or not. But I don't want her to be angry, I don't want to ruin my relationship with her.
"Mel, I'll see you at seven okay? You can talk to this wicked sister of mine, I'm hanging up." He says and I laugh, saying bye to him.
As soon as Louis ends the call, my phone starts ringing again as Lottie is calling me. Please don't be mad at me, please don't be mad at me. I am confuse whether I should pick up her call or not, wait Melanie, she isn't a serial killer, she is your best friend. Taking a deep breathe, I answer her call.
"Hey.." I say, nervously.
"You didn't even tell me you were going on a date with my brother! How can you do this to me Melanie Samantha Philips?!" She yells and sounds angry. Crap.
"Are you mad at me?" I ask her, nervously biting my lip.
"Of course, I am mad at you. You didn't tell me that you were going on a date with my brother. I'm your best friend and that doofus is my brother. I should've been the first one to know about this date." She says, and I get confused. She is mad at me for not telling about the date, but not that I am going on a date with him?
"Uh..Lottie, if I go on a date with Louis, you wouldn't have a problem with that?" I ask her, hoping for the reply I want her to give.
"Duh? Why would I have a problem with that? I am happy for you, you finally decided to date and trust someone, but your choice isn't good though." She says, laughing which surprises me. A smile find it's way on my lips and I sigh in relieve when I hear those words come out of her mouth.
"We just decided it an hour ago, I was gonna tell you about it," I say and hear her groan.
"Tell me when? When you would've been in the hospital, giving birth to my nephew or niece?" She asks me and laughs slightly.
"Oh my god, Lottie. It's a date, we're not doing anything else." I say, shaking my head at her. Her words made me blush.
"Yet," she completes my sentence, and bursts into laughter.
"Yuck, shut up."
Finally she says that she allows me to go on a date with him, but is stuck on the same thing, why didn't I inform her first.
"I told you, I was gonna tell you later. Now, I have to go and take some nap, I'll talk to you later." I say, and begin to hung up but her words stop me, asking me if Waliyha and Hazel know about the date.
I tell her that I haven't told them yet, and will inform them later, and that I would be getting hundreds of messages and calls from them. Never have I ever though that going on a date would be that difficult. Well, that is difficult when you have best friends like mine, who want a report in every second.
"I hate you, bye. Enjoy your date with my stupid brother. I could've find you someone better, like...Zay-"
"Shut up," I cut her off before she could start teasing me again.
She says bye, ending the call and demands me to give her detail of each and every minute. I know I would be swarmed up with many questions, tomorrow or maybe even tonight if they won't be able to control their hormones anymore.
I get up from my bed and go to take a shower, changing in my comfortable clothes and dry my hair, lying on my bed to take some rest.
Before I can sleep, I decide to text Waliyha, Hazel and Liam. Informing Waliyha and Hazel about my date, and asking Liam about Zayn.
To Liam:
Is Mr.Know it all still at your place?
I wait for their replies when my phone begins to burst from the replies of Waliyha and Hazel. I ignore their texts, knowing that they would be talking about the same thing, so I wait for Liam's reply.
From Liam:
Just dropping him off at his place now. :)
I reply to Liam, asking him if Zayn is fine. To be honest, yeah, I am worried about Zayn. He might not be in my favourite list, but still, he isn't someone I would love to see getting hurt.
I wait for Liam's reply when my phone begins to ring and I receive Liam's call.
"Hey Mel, your Mr. Know It all, missed you all day." Liam says, laughing.
"I didn't. Don't lie, Liam." I heard Zayn say in the background. Yeah, I knew it. Why would he miss me? I am the only one, the only idiot who kept thinking about him the whole day. I felt bad for leaving him, when he was asking for me to stay, I kept missing his stupid arguments in the history class, I kept thinking about the kiss, I kept worrying for him the whole day. But all of this doesn't mean anything to him. He doesn't care about it or me. But why would he care about me? I am no one to him, and he is no one to me. He is just my best friend's brother and I hate him.
"Zayn, Melanie is saying that she missed you a lot." Liam again jokes, laughing.
"I didn't, okay? I was glad that he wasn't at school with us today, and I actually enjoyed my history class without his stupid teasing." I say. I know I am lying. But I don't want him to think that I miss him or something. In actual, I didn't miss him, I was just worried for him, which I am not anymore because he sounded perfectly fine.
Who are you lying to, Melanie? You can lie to other people, but not yourself.
Soon, my phone begins to beep in my ear, signaling me that someone else is calling me. I put Liam's line on hold and receive the other call without looking at the user, thinking it might be Waliyha.
"Waliyha, I'll tell you each and everything, just give me two minutes, I'm talking to Liam." I say, answering the phone.
"Melanie..." I hear a familiar voice, which isn't of Waliyha. It is the voice I never expected to hear again, the voice which was the cause of my tears for three years. I can never forget this voice, which whispered promises in my ears, three years ago. Now, when I am happy that everything is going to be fine, I had to hear this voice, again.
Zayn's P.O.V:
She put Liam's call on hold, but the words she said few moments ago, weren't what I expected. Yeah, of course she wouldn't want me to be there with her in the school. What was I even thinking about, her missing me or something. I am the only fool, who wanted her to stay with me, the only fool who kept thinking about the kiss, the only fool who wanted to talk to her the whole time, the only fool who was worried about her, the only fool who kept thinking about her the whole time. But all of it doesn't mean anything to her. She doesn't care about it or me. Why would she care about me? I am no one to her and she is no one to me. She is just my sister's best friend and I hate her.
