Zayn's P.O.V

"Giddey up horsey", Niall practically screams in my ear as i carry his weight down the street, "faster, faster, YEEE haw".

"Alright, Niall, that's enough, people are starting to stare", I laugh as I put him down next to the furniture store we're about to go in.

Niall just pouts and nods, which means he'll get over it.

We're probably in the biggest shopping center in London. Today, i'm looking for a sofa and maybe some curtains, it depends on how much money i have left over. Hopefully, by the beginning of December, i'll be moved out of my old apartment and into a better apartment complex. Iv'e been saving up for about two years now and I've almost got enough money. The new apartment isn't perfect but it sure is an upgrade from my run down home. It's located a little further off from my neighborhood and in a better part of the city.

I'm pulled away from looking at a brown leather sofa, that's way to expensive for my price range when Niall calls my name,

"ZAYN, paint me like one of your French girls", I look up to see Niall posing on a black and white floral patterned sofa(Harry's "Sofa" Suit ). I walk over to my silly best friend and look at the sofa's price, two hundred fifty dollars, not bad at all. I nod to myself as i check it out and Niall keeps quoting titanic, but apparently he's caught on to my silent nods.

"Aww man, you can't really be thinking about buying this, can you?" Niall exclaims, now sitting up.

"I mean, I don't know Niall; It's cheap, It's comfortable," I demonstrate by sitting down on it and bouncy around, "and we've already made our first titanic memory, and many more are sure to come, on this sofa" I list out.

"Welll, when you put it like that..."

"Think about Niall, if anything deserved to have a Titanic reference quoted on it, means it's worthy of our money", I persuade him. I see he has his thinking face on, so it means he's envisioning it in my living room.

"Arlright, I'm ON BOARD", Niall lets out toots at his pun, while i laugh at his corniness.

"Alright, i'm going to go grab an assistant", I leave while Niall gets comfortable on the sofa.

........

After we bought the floral sofa, with a little help from Niall since he insisted he chip in on the sofa, the guy that helped us, Oscar, told us to come by in three hours to pick it up. So while we waited Niall and I got in his forest green truck, to go get some lunch since it was nearly two o' clock.

"Where to?" Niall sighed as he started up his truck.

"Eh, I'm in the mood for Mexican", I buckled up and we were off.

Niall drove us to this nice little Mexican restaurant decorated in festive colors and a friendly atmosphere. Hanging out with Niall always seems to make me feel young again, even though most people argue twenty three is still young, it's different for me. Ever since i was a sophomore in high school, I had to grow up faster than others, but then Niall came along. If I had issues at home he would crack a joke or two without even asking what's wrong, he would make me feel like my actual age. He would make me go to social outings when I was stressed and needed a break; he was my shoulder to cry on.

As Niall and I were reminiscing, he brought up one of our most embarrassing and amusing memory,"Remember when we found out our sexualities together", Niall's laugh rings through the semi crowded restaurant.

"Ugh, don't bring that up, we buried that a long time ago along with our dignities",I joked putting my head in my hands.

"If I remember correctly, you came onto me, how did you say it,'Oh Niall your're sooo irresistable kiss me, kiss me'", Niall pleaded as he acted like me.

Of course Niall stretched the truth by a long shot, it was junior year when me and Niall discovered our sexuality together. We were sitting on the bleachers by the football field during lunch, it was our usual lunch spot. Niall was talking about some girl in our class as I just nodded along, can you blame me for not listening, girls were no interest to me. But, when Niall had asked me who I had my eye on at the time, it was a suprise to both of us when I said a guy's name instead of a girl. Long story short, one thing led to another and Niall confessed he was Bi, then we made an agreement to be each other's first gay kiss. It was my first kiss, but Niall's first kiss with a guy, we made a promise to make sure nothing comes out of the kiss and we just be best friends after that.

The kiss, in general, was awkward, Niall had hamburger meat stuck in his teeth from lunch and he said my mouth tasted like way too much chocolate milk. Anyone else would've enjoyed the chocolate milk taste, but Niall hates chocolate milk that's why he always gave his away to me.

"That was such a gross kiss", I made a disgusted face, but truth be told I've only kissed two people before in my life. Many people call me a loner, but I just don't have time for relationships,with work and all.

"And we both spat it out after, I had chocolate milk taste in my mouth and you had hamburger meat in yours", Niall laughed banging his fist on the table.

We laughed for a good solid two minutes with Niall having tears coming out of his eyes. As we were getting ready to pay for the bill I had gotten a phone call, which only meant one of two things either it was Niall or work because they're the only ones to have my number. Considering Niall was sitting in front of me, meant it was work calling.

I put my hand up signalling to Niall, it'll only be one minute.

"Hello Anna lee"

"Oh, Hey sweetie," her shaky voice rings through my speaker "Sorry to bother you on your day off my dear".

"No problem Anna Lee, it's always a joy to hear your voice, so is there anything i can do for you, or did you call me just to flirt", I teased.

Her laugh was shaky just like most of the things she does. Can you blame her? She's eighty and works herself at the bakery. Yet she still makes having a full head of grey hair work, Zayn thinks of her as the grandma he's never had.

Anna Lee laughs through the phone "I hope it's not to late of a notice, but can you fill in for Jackie? she went into labor so she can't do her shift", I can practically see her hopeful look.

I know i still have to get my sofa today, but I cant help to sigh and say yes. After that she told me what time to be at the bakery, by six o' clock,and we hung up.

"Sorry to cancel the rest of our day Ni,but I have to work a six o'clock shift at the bakery today".

Niall heaves a sigh, "it's alright man at least we had a good time, plus we still have a couple of hours left of our day. Saturdays are usually me and Niall's day to hang out, it's like our own family tradition since we barely have time to see each other during the week.

"Yeah", I agreed as we walked to his truck. Niall payed for the meal,obviously, but that didn't mean that I didn't feel less guilty every time we went out to eat. I always try to get cheap food, and I always end up begging to him to let me pay him back. But he knows my living conditions so he always ends up giving my money back in a secretive way, whether it be in the mail or my back jean pocket.

"You ready to get this sofa?" Niall questioned as he started the engine.

"I've been ready for the past couple of months", I exclaimed a bright smile on my face.

________vote and tell me what you think_____

I cant wait to do Harry's story honestly.This story is probably going to be twenty chapters, so it's kind of a short story, and thats why it's moving semi fast pace. I don't want the story to be too fast but not to drawn out either. So if it gets kinda fast just tell me.
