The next morning, I was having an interview for my new job. You know - the one Zayn had postponed. I woke up and saw Zayn and Kate eating tortillas. I felt so left out.

"Good morning Zayn" I said and he waved at me.

"So you didn't see me?" my sister asked. I just ignored her and walked to the toilet.
Later, it was time for her job and fortunately for me, she worked far away. I turned to Zayn and casually went to sit with him.

"Today is my interview" I said. I wish he'd clap for me.

"You don't have to worry. I won't be there to wreck anything coz I have somewhere I have to be." he said and was about to go until I made a sound with my mouth. He turned and kept an expression on his face that told me he was surprised a sound like that could be made by a human being.

"You don't want me to go?" he said hoping for a response.

"No. You can go." I said and realised what I had just said. "Not that I won't be happy if you stay - just that you can go. B - but you can also stay if you want to" I said at the speed of a motor bike. I almost bit my tongue. Zayn started to nod. I think he was getting the drag. He waved and warped himself away. I guess he really wanted to go. Somehow, I was relieved he went. Maybe it's because I would be able to BREATHE NORMALLY!!!
     At the office - there I was waiting for the interviewer to stop his noisy, crying son. He approached me and sat with me.

"I hope the so-called friend that embarrassed you didn't come today because we have inspectors" he said with a huge frown on his face. I stood up in anger and hit the table with my hand.

"HE is my friend but for the sake of your happiness, he isn't here" I said, took a deep breath and sat down. The interviewer looked at me with a very surprised face and cleared his throat.

"Okay. Let's get this over with"

     Zayn was walking down the street wearing a disguise. When he was about to enter a shop, someone stopped him. He saw Charles. Charles was with a girl. He looked like he was treating her like a princess. Zayn took his phone his phone and snapped them. He followed them all the way to Charle's house. When the girl entered Charle's room, Zayn touched the door and made it transparent but, they couldn't see it. That was another magic trick of his. He continued to take pictures until the girl looked like she wanted to talk. Zayn started to record it.

"Charles, I don't think what we're doing is right." she said and sat up. Charles grinned and sighed.

"It's ok Jessi. Beth does not know. She's just a girl I use when I'm bored and need company" he said and touched her chin.

"WELL, HOW AM I SURE YOU'RE NOT USING ME TO?" she shouted and got up.

"BECAUSE, because I spent a hundred dollars buying you that necklace" he said, knelt down and pecked her hand. Outside, Zayn smirked and stopped recording.

"I am never wrong when it comes to sluts" he said and walked away.

     I was still in the office and was about to answer my last question. Somehow last time I was there, it felt more comfortable than now. I wish I did the interview last time. At least Zayn didn't ruin anything.

"Apart from money, why are you doing this? Why do you need this job? You already have a modelling company of your own." the interview asked smiling. That was actually a very good question when I thought of it. I started to scratch my chin then - I thought of Zayn.
Was I doing it because of Zayn? Before Zayn came, I was already getting a job but - Zayn was the only person I could think of. Maybe it's because I want him to really, really notice me.

"Is it weird that... it's because....of a boy?" I asked, bowed my head and touched my cheeks. They started to feel hot. I felt the spark in my head. It made me feel dizzy- I almost fell off the chair but the interview didn't notice.

"It's not weird at all. We've had a lot of that lately" the interviewer said.

"Really?" I said and lifted my head up.

"Yeah. Looking at your eyes, I can tell there's a deep sensation there" the interviewer said. I wondered what he meant by that. Before I knew it, the interviewer threw a hand band at me. The hand band belonged to their company. Anybody that was in their company had their band.

"MISS BETHANY HALLOWAY, WELCOME TO CHERRY MODEL LIMITED" the interviewer shouted. I jumped up in happiness. I was soon happy to the extent I knelt on the ground and graveled. I ran out of the building and saw Zayn. He clapped. Zayn clapped for me. It looked like everywhere was beginning to have light. I ran and jumped on him. He spinned me around and dropped me on the floor. He started to laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked with arms folded.

"You know i could have been here to destroy everything for you" he said.

"Well, I'm glad you weren't" I said straightforwardly and he started to scratch his chin. When I realised what I said, I completely flipped out again.

"Not that I didn't want you here or I was thinking about you. Ah..... not that I wasn't thinking about you....I mean...UGH! FORGET IT! What am I even saying?" I said slapped myself. Zayn looked at me closely.

"You know, I was about to ask you that exact question" he said. He looked into my eyes.

"Are you alright Beth? Since yesterday, you've not seemed yourself" he asked me and my heart completely skipped a beat. I just held his hand.

"Let's go home" I said and we held hands and started to walk. On our way, we met Kate. That was just the universe finding a way to punish me. We stopped and stared at my sister but, the intensity started when my sister and I started to move forward.

"Are the two sisters about to wrestle to the death?" Zayn joked but we both ignored him. Kate gave me a dirty look and trust me, I tried not to care.

"Kate, I just got another modelling job" I said and my sister's eyes widened. She looked shocked.

"I know you said I've got no body and it's trash but I just want to tell you that I don't give a damn. I love modelling and I just got a new one. Now I have two. I don't care if you're not happy for me. " I said and looked at Zayn who looked back at me and started to laugh.

"Okay! Hold up! You sister said you've got no body?" Zayn joked and I pinched him. Zayn and I walked on without my sister. I don't know where my sister was off to but I didn't really want to know.

"BETH!!!" my sister shouted. Zayn and I turned back.

"I WON'T SAY CONGRATULATIONS..." my sister said but I interrupted

"SHUT UP! YOU'VE ALREADY SAID IT!" I said and continued to walk with Zayn. Zayn brought out his phone and seemed so engrossed in it. I tried to take a peek but he covered the face. It was fair enough. I did it to him once.

"Now who's peeking?" he said and winked. I looked away embarrassed.

"Don't worry. It's nothing to worry about" he said and put the phone in his pocket as we continued to walk. I hoped he was telling the truth.

Oh oh. Things are heating up. Charles is cheating?🤭
