Irresistible
chapter seven
"Zayn, please!" Niall drops to his knees and clutches his hands together, begging to Zayn.
Zayn laughs and grabs Niall by his shoulder, pulling him up to his full height. "Just for you."
Niall smiles and wraps his arms around Zayn's neck, causing Zayn to lose balance and fall to the ground, still holding Niall.
"Hurry up. The line is getting longer." Harry and Louis pull the two boys to their feet and start running to the ferris wheel.
Liam laughs and grabs my wrist. "Come on!"
We catch up to the other four boys, stopping in the line as Louis talks about how he almost attacked his professor for giving him a low mark on an exam.
"I told you to study." Harry shakes his head.
Louis rolls his eyes, a series of profanities slipping from his lips. Harry puts his arm around the older boy, quickly trapping him in a tight headlock.
Louis pretends to jam his knee dangerously close to Harry's crotch, causing Harry to release the boy.
Zayn laughs and squeezes himself between Harry and Louis.
"So, I guess that I'll be riding with Harry. Niall with Liam. Zayn with Kennedy, am I correct?" Louis smiles at Harry and Harry pulls him in a tight hug.
If you weren't looking at Liam at that exact second, you wouldn't have noticed the disappointed frown that covered his face. He quickly smiled at Niall, who's giggling and grasping Liam's hand tightly. Zayn squeezes past the hugging boys and stands next to me.
"I know you wanted to be with Liam. Sorry." He mumbles in my ear, loudly, but unnoticed by the laughing boys in front of us.
"What are you talking about?" I frown. I thought me and Liam were quite careful and subtle with our relationship, except for that one picture.
"I left my keys inside your apartment a couple of nights ago and I saw you two kissing, quite passionately if I say so myself." He flashes me a grin, confirming that he won't say anything to anyone.
Zayn and I were so caught up in meaningless conversation, that we hadn't realized the boys have already taken their seats.
"Hurry up!" Louis shouts over the moving crowd.
Zayn shakes his head and holds my hand, leading to an empty seat on the ferris wheel.
"What if this thing gets stuck?" We hear Niall scream from above us.
Zayn tenses next to me as the wheel starts to turn.
"Zayn, it's fine. Niall is being dramatic." I laugh when I see the expression of absolute horror strained on Zayn's, normally expressionless, face.
"If this thing gets stuck, I swear to-"
Niall must have the ability to change the future because the wheel froze. Zayn clings digs his nails into my arm, making me wince from the sudden pain.
"I told you!" Niall shouts from the other side of the wheel, followed by Liam's laughter.
"I shouldn't have done this. Oh my gosh. I can't do this." Zayn mumbles to himself, a few profanities leaving his chattering teeth.
"Zayn, it's fine. The ride will start soon." I try my best to comfort the normally calm boy. I pull him closer to me and trace small circles over his black tee.
"This is f*cken sick!" Louis screams from below.
"Whoooo!" Harry shouts between laughs.
A man from below yells at us to shut up and listen to what he has to say. "You might be stuck up there for a while!"
Zayn groans while the others laugh, yelling streams of encouragement to the shaking tattoo-covered lad.
