HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAYNIE POO...You're 21 now!! :D  

_______________________________________

 Episode 15- Solution 

"Liam is police," Niall announced, bouncing a piece of pizza on Zayn's stomach up to his chest before popping it in his mouth. The two childhood best friend were sitting on the couch with Niall laying comfortable on Zayn's chest, listening to his heartbeat and enjoying his warmth. 

"What was that?" Zayn asked. 

"Liam's an undercover cop,...working on a case involving Mr. Malik," 

Involving me? But the cop said that they're leaving my case to the Interpol,..Zayn thought internally.  

"He needed my help," Niall continued "He wants me to get the list of Mr. Malik's international client. I'm not sure I want to do it though," 

"He asked for your help? Couldn't he just use a warrant or something to get that kind of information?"  

"I hadn't thought about that?" Niall realized, looking up at Zayn "You're really clever Zaynie...I used to be cleverer than you," 

"Stay away from him yeah?" Zayn warned, causing Niall to frown. 

"You sound like Louis," He pouted "I can take care of myself thank you very much," 

"I'm just worried about you,..yeah?" Zayn leaned down to kiss Niall on the temple repeatedly "You mean so much to me," 

"That's what Louis said," Niall sighed sadly, cuddling closer to Zayn's body "Then he slapped me in the face,"  

_______________________________ 

It's no secret that Zayn is a possessive guy. Possessive-protective. Everything he wants he will get them, and whic ever is his, he'll protect them. Just like the man in his arms, sleeping soundly, his head on Zayn's chest, his arm wrapped around his waist. With or without Niall's consent, Zayn has made Niall as his. He doesn't care that the blonde lad didn't want him romantically; as long as Niall wants him in his life it'll be enough.  

Zayn slept for three hours, and woke up in the middle of the night, God knows why. But he didn't try to go back to sleep, instead, he stared at the beautiful man nestled comfortably on his chest, his hot breaths sends wonderful chills on across his chest. Zayn carefully cards his finger through Niall's silky smooth dirty blonde hair, his mind going through a thousand thoughts. Liam's an undercover cop? But why is police doing investigation behind his back? From the beginning, Zayn had a feeling that Liam was a very odd character -someone with secrets like himself. If Liam is dragging Niall into police matters, he could be in grave danger. Another thing that hung over his head like a persistent dark cloud is his double life. He needs to figure out how and when he's going to tell Niall that he's Mr. Malik. Lying to Niall hurts him...but that was the only way to keep him safe. 

Two hours later, at six o'clock in the morning, Niall began stirring on his chest and mumbling incoherent sentences. Zayn breath hitches when Niall parted lips began moving on one of his nipples, perking them up. His cheeks lights up and he could feel that Zayn Jr. was excited too. Zayn subtly shifted his hips away, so that Zayn Jr. wouldn't prod Niall. 

"Ugh..mmhm," Niall mumbled, rubbing his face on Zayn's chest. "Zee? WH-What time is?"  

"A little afters six," Zayn replied calmly, brushing his huge thumb against Niall's cheek. 

"How long have you been awake?" Niall sighed contently closing his eyes, leaning into Zayn's warm hand. 

"A while,...I like watching you sleep," Zayn said, blushing a tad "Actually,...I like watching you in general," 

"There's not much to see," Niall relied sleepily, feeling slightly uncomfortable. He knew that Zayn still hopes that they can be together romantically, but Niall wasn't sure about the idea. Zayn's is too perfect to be true and he have him this way; the likeliness of him losing Zayn was basically none-existent but if he does enter a relationship with Zayn, the word 'break-up' scares the hell out of him.  

"There's everything to see," Zayn smiled, leaning closer to brush their noses together.  "Beautiful things to see," 

"Zayn,...you can't keep hoping that,..." 

"Hoping that you'll be mine and I'll be yours? That's my right Niall, I can hope if I want to. There's nothing wrong in hoping," Zayn retorted. 

"There is if the only thing waiting on the other of the hope is heart ache," Niall mumbled out a reply, his fingers tracing the tattoos on Zayn's chest He still couldn't get over the fact that Zayn grew up beautifully. Beauty becomes him. 

"You won't even give me a chance Nialler," Zayn tries to negotiate, not caring if he sounded desperate.  "Just one chance," 

"I'm not risking it,...don't want to lose you..ever," 

"Is that why you don't want to be with me? You're worried that somewhere down the road we might break up and you'll lose me forever?" Zayn stated, feeling a slight pride in his chest because Niall didn't want to lose him. "Niall, I assure and promise you-" 

"Don't make promises that you can't keep," Niall's eye grew wide when he realized that he had just cut Zayn mid-sentence.  

"I'm going to let that slide, again," Zayn breathed out calmly, leaning his face closer. Before Niall could do anything, Zayn was practically hovering him, his hands was on each side of Niall's face. Niall watched as Zayn's biceps flex as he hold himself up and the muscles on his chest constricts. Their faces were inches apart, mingling their breaths. "but in future, try not to cut me off again...okay?"  

"O-Okay," Niall replied nervously, denying the fact that he finds their position very erotic since both of them were only in a pair of boxers. 

"You need to be punished," Zayn spoke lowly, almost growling because the man under him was absolutely delicious to look at. "So that you won't do it again," 

"P-Pun-Punished?" 

"Kiss me," Zayn commanded, brushing his nose against Niall lightly. "Kiss me Niall,"  

Niall was breathing heavily by now, his chest raising up and down rapidly. For half a minute, nobody moves, until Niall finally leaned up and captures Zayn's plump lips with his. Seconds later, Zayn was cradling Niall's head in his hand as he ravish the Irish lad's mouth hungrily, and Niall was more than happy to let Zayn tongue explore every nook and cranny of his mouth. When Niall realized that he might still have his morning breath, he immediately pulls away. Leaving Zayn shocked and confused. Thier lips were slightly swollen, completely red and slick with saliva.  

"I need to get ready for work," Niall mumbled, both of his hands were on Zayn's chest, subtly brushing his dark nipples. "You too Mr. Brooks," 

"We still have an hour Ni," Zayn reasoned, leaning in but Niall stopped him. 

"I think I have enough 'punishment," Niall chuckled lightly pushing Zayn away. Groaning loudly, Zayn rolled over and folded his hands behind his head, relishing delicious the kiss in his head. "I'm going to take a shower now," 

"Can I join?" Zayn asked cheekily, opening his right eye.  

"No you may not," Niall blushed a tad "Ughh,..I need to go back to my apartment to get my suit," 

"Is Louis going to be there?" Zayn asked carefully, closing his eyes again to hide his anger. He couldn't believe that Louis slapped his angel. What happened was partly his fault, but he can't do anything about it since Louis is Niall's brother. "Do you need me to go with you?" 

"Hope not,..and no," Niall flashed him a small weak smile "I'm going to avoid him for a while,"  

Niall quickly made his way towards the bathroom. Once, he's in the cold white room, he closed the door and leaned against the door, letting out a huge sigh. "What are we doing Zayn" He asked himself "best friends don't kiss each other like that," 

 Zayn chuckled lightly when he heard Niall sang in the shower, purposely doing it off-key. He got out of bed after his hard-on had disappeared searching for his phone. Once he found his black iPhone, he sent a short text to Paul to gather all his private investigator to find anything on Liam Payne. He might be over-reacting over this situation but if Liam is going to drag Niall into police business, the trouble woulndn't be far away.

"Hey baby," the voice of Maura Tomlinson soothes him through the phone. She might not be her biological mother, but she's the greatest woman in his life. "How are you?" 

"I'm fine Mum," Niall replied, staring at the half eaten sandwich on his office table. Luckily for him, when he went back to his apartment, both Louis and Harry wasn't there. Niall sluggishly got ready for work and went through his usual routine. He was surprised when he received a text from Mr. Malik saying that he would be working out-station today, giving Niall the time to finish up the reports he was supposed to be doing yesterday.  "Could wish for my appetite to come back though," 

"Is there anything bothering you?" She asked softly, motherly, making Niall miss her more. 

"Mum, I know that Louis had called you," Niall chuckled, playing with the sandwich. Muara sighed on the other end, but Niall could tell that she was actually smiling. 

"You know how he tends to overreact....I think it's my fault for letting him watch all those chick-flick movie," Maura chuckled "But I wasn't very happy when he told me that he slapped you. He's suppose to be looking out for you,"

"Totally your fault," Niall agreed. 

"But he also told me that you were with Zayn Brooks....was he your weird quiet friend back in Ireland?"  

"Mum,..." Niall groaned "He's not weird, or quiet for that matter. You're just used to loud kids like Louis and I," 

"Probably,...so you're dating him then?" She pressed on. Niall knew that his whole family wasn't very fond of Zayn because he's quite and odd kid and she didn't really like his mother. But being the graceful woman she is, she never treated Zayn differently whenever he comes over for a sleepover. 

"No Mum,....I'm not dating him," but he wants us to though, Niall added mentally. 

"Just so you know,...I wouldn't mind if you do. You're free to date whoever you want, just ignore your brother," Maura advised "Speaking of your brother,...talk to him yeah? He cried for nearly an hour last night,...I'm deprived from my beauty sleep. He thinks you hate him," 

"Well, he certainly not my favourite person right now," Niall mumbled. 

"Make him grovel and beg okay? Or let him buy some expensive gift or something," Maura added, emitting light chuckles from his second son. 

"Sure do Mum," 

"But seriously though. I don't like seeing you guys fighting like this. I'm going to call you guys again and when I do, if i found out you guys haven't reconcile, I'm going down there. Got it?" 

"Yes Ma'am," Niall nodded. 

"Good,..I'm taking your father to golfing," 

"Golfing?" 

"Putt-putt golfing," She added. "Goodbye honey, stay safe and eat right okay? I love you," 

"Okay,..bye Mum. Love you too," 

Louis cried for n hour, that's got to be something right? Niall shakes his head a made a mental note to talk to Louis tomorrow.Sighing loudly for the tenth time today, Niall began scrolling through his e-news on his desktop, reading the latest news when something caught his blue eyes.  

24-year old student, Ruth Payne Found Dead Due To OD And Head-shot, Body Wrapped In Gift Wrappers

8.00a.m- Manchester University student Ruth Payne was found dead this morning due to drug overdose and gun head-shot from behind. Her body was found  wrapped in green and red gift wrapped in the middle of Claire Memorial Park by a morning jogger. The body was sent..... 

Ruth....Payne? Liam's sister?! Niall vaguely remembered her, but that is not the point at the moment. Liam's sister was found dead in a park, shot in the head. Naill's breath accelerated, and he feels like throwing up, trying to absorb the information. After taking a few deep breaths, Niall fished out his phone and scrolled through his contacts, looking for Liam's phone number. Pressing the green button, Niall placed the phone on his ears. 

"Pick up, pick up, pick up,...please pick up," 

*** 

Liam didn't answer his phone calls, and when Niall went to the shipping docks to find him, they told him that Liam didn't come to work today. Niall finally give up looking for him after that. He received a few phone calls from Louis too, but decided not to answer it. He went back to his office and tried to finish up the reports, but he couldn't possibly concentrate. He was tempted to go and see Zayn but decided no too because he prefers to be alone right now. His mind was currently on three people namely Louis, Liam and Zayn. Louis; he should probably talk to him before he calls Mum again but Niall still couldn't accept that he slapped him for such a small matter. It wasn't a secret that Louis can be jealous of Zayn sometimes, but that still wasn't a valid reason to slap him. Liam; is he okay? What is he doing now? Who did that to his sister? And why did Niall get the feeling that this has something to do with his undercover work?  

And Zayn; sexy hot sex-on-legs Zayn. Will he ever give up trying to woo him? Will Niall succumb and finally give in? He hopes not. But these last few days with Zayn were perfect moments, even the uncalled kisses. Zayn is perfect in every aspect, too perfect sometime. Well, except for his weird hate towards people cutting him off mid-sentence. His thoughts were disturbed when his phone lit up, indicating that someone sent a text-message. 

Bringing Chinese take-away tonight,..you're coming over right? Yes you are. And heard about Liam's sister....hope you're okay. xx - Zaynie  

Chinese take-away. He's perfect, Niall thought to himself with a fond smile.Guess the news spread throughout the company already.

They were eating the tangerine chicken silently in Zayn's apartment as they watched the Teen Wolf's first episode of season three -Niall's request. Niall had half of his body leaning against Zayn's chest as he tries to focus on the TV-show but too much was running through his mind.  He tried calling Liam again, but still couldn't get through. he thought that maybe he should give him some space. Zayn asked him how he was doing but he just shrugged. He had a total of 20 missed calls from Louis today -he should probably dragged this a tad longer. Beg and grovel right?

"Nialler?" Zayn asked softly. 

"Hmm?" Niall responded. 

"I want o suggest something,...and the only answer I want to hear is a 'yes' and please don't cut me off?" Zayn asked. 

"Can't promise on the 'yes' part, but I won't cut you off, promise," Niall answered, looking up at the pretty boy. 

"I want you to move in with me," Zayn suggested, causing Niall to choke on his tangerine chicken.
