CHAPTER FIVE: DATE GONE WRONG
When we got to my house, I told Charles to wait outside. We were going for a date. Even if we were going out for a date, the only person I could think he was Zayn. I stepped onto my house and looked at Zayn who was on my bed doing nothing. He looked deep in thoughts.
"Zayn" I called out to him but he didn't answer me. He was actually ignoring me. I just walked into my dress room in anger.
AUTHOR'S POV:
When Beth was in the dressing room, Charles entered her room. As Charles stepped in, Zayn's sharply turned to him with dark-red eyes. Charles jumped back in shock. Zayn closed his eyes and took deep breaths.
"So.... how long have you known Beth?" asked Charles. He went to sit on the table that was next to Beth's bed. Zayn did not answer his question. He just gave him a deep, angry glare.
"Dude, you hate me but you don't even know me. Won't you at least know me first?" Charles asked. Charles looked like he really wanted to know Zayn but Zayn continued to glare at him.
"I don't want to know you." Zayn said with a straight face.
"Why?" Charles asked. Zayn sighed and turned to look at him with the same glare.
"The only thing I'm going to tell you is this. If I were you, I'd open my ears. Literally. Do not-hurt Beth." Zayn said and took a picture of Charles.
"Why did you just take a picture of me?" Charles asked with a shaky voice.
"So that I won't forget every inch of your face" Zayn said and his eyes turned red again. He smiled in a creepy way and started to laugh. Charles looked confused and terrified. What was happening? He didn't stop laughing until Beth stepped out of her dressing room.
BETH'S POV:
I was dressed in a red gown and black shoes. Charles whistled.
"Isn't she hot?" Charles asked Zayn who just looked at me, rolled his eyes and smiled. I bit my lips. I couldn't believe I was actually shy. Charles held my hand and waited for me for me to go out. After I stepped out, he winked at Zayn and left.
Charles and I went to an amusement park. There were rollercoasters, cinemas and many other fun places.
"What are we doing at an amusement park? I'm not a baby." I said and folded my arms. That was probably very much baby-like.
"Remember when we were in elementary school? You said you wanted to ride a rollercoaster that had a lot of loops" Charles reminded me. I looked at the rollercoaster and truely, it had a lot of loops.
"LET'S DO THIS!!!" I shouted in excitement and ran towards the rollercoaster. I looked back at Charles who hadn't even moved an inch.
"WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? COME AND PAY THE MONEY!!!" I shouted.
After we finished riding the rollercoaster which seemed to be moving at a speed of 320mph, we went for cut'n'candy and sat on a bench that the workers decorated with too many flowers.
"So Beth, about that friend of yours..."
"You mean Zayn?" I asked him.
"Yes. Zayn Park. He doesn't seem to like me much" Charles said scratching his head. I shrugged. I shrugged because I knew Zayn did not like Charles.
"I think he's planning a way to kill me" he said. Did I hear him right? I laughed and pushed him.
"Don't be silly. He won't kill you." I said. Even if I knew he was very capable of him, I reassured him that he won't die. I looked at him and tried doing something. I remembered all the moments I had shared with Charles and guess what? I didn't feel the electrocution. I didn't feel the spark. Did Zayn always feel the spark to? That's not all I tried. I also tried comparing who I felt more comfortable with. When I'm with Charles, I feel I can be myself but, when I'm with Zayn, I feel safe and shielded. Then, the strangest thing happened. When I say strangest, I mean alien-strangest thing started happening to Charles. I looked at Charles the way a four year old would look at a person who had chicken pox. Charles turned to me and blinked weirdly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked.
"Or am I that handsome?" he joked. I blinked like I had seen an alien. What if my boyfriend was an actual alien? His skin turned blue and green. He looked so weird and ugly. I pointed at him with shaky fingers.
"Your....y..your s..s....skin is uh..." I tried to tell him but the words couldn't escape my mouth. Charles started to become scared.
"MY SKIN - MY SKIN IS WHAT?!!!" he stood up and started to rub his skin - then when he saw what it had transformed to, he shrieked and started to shout. That was the loudest shriek and shout I had ever heard in my life. People nearby looked at him as he ran out, bounced into his car and drove off. They looked at me in worry.
"Don't worry people. He's not infected." I said then they continued to do whatever it is that they were doing. I had pity for Charles. I felt like laughing but I held it in. It was quite pitiful but funny. I started to think of what happened to him but the only person that came to my mind was Zayn.
'I bet it was Zayn's doing' I said in my mind. I planned on going home. Since Charles left with his car, the only way home was to walk.
I walked home and stepped inside. I didn't see Zayn in - then someone barked behind me. I jumped up in shock. I turned back and saw Zayn. He laughed and I stared at him with annoyance.
"I told you to stop doing that." I said.
"And you expect me to really listen to you?" he asked me and pinched my cheeks. I rolled my eyes the longest I had ever rolled my eyes in my life.
"So Zayn, what happened to Charles?" I asked him with my hands folded while tapping my feet on the ground.
"You mean your boyfriend?"
"OF COURSE I MEAN MY BOYFRIEND!!!"
"What happened to him?" Zayn asked smiling then he kept a serious face. Twenty seconds later, he burst into laughter.
"I KNEW IT!!! You turned his skin INTO A MONSTER'S SKIN!!!" I shouted. Zayn nodded.
"Because he annoyed me. I had already implanted the seed in his body." he said.
"YOU CRAZY DEMON, YOU RUINED OUR DATE!!!" I shouted and threw my bag at him. I went into the bathroom and looked the door. Tears started to flow down my cheek. I cleaned it as fast as I could and wore my pyjamas. When I came out, Zayn started to do his deep looks again. They always got me. The shape of his eyes were incredibly attractive.
"Did you cry?" he asked me. His voice didn't sound like he was emotional. It sounded like something I couldn't figure out.
"No" I said and went to the foam again. I put it on the floor and laid down on it. When I looked up, I saw Zayn looking at me from above. His eyes were light red.
"What do you want to do again? HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH?!" I asked him.
"But I don't want to do anything" he said. His eyes looked honest but, they were red.
"But your eyes-"
"They don't turn to that shade of red for only a single reason Beth. When I'm thinking deeply of something, they also turn red" he said. I sat up and started to think.
"But it wasn't mentioned in the book." I said. I flew to my bed once again. Why must Zayn use his magic on me? Why?
"Not everything was mentioned in the book sweetheart" he said smoothly. Sweetheart? Did he really mean it or was he teasing me? If he was teasing me, that was a very evil tease. If everything wasn't mentioned in the book, it probably meant I didn't know know everything about Zayn like I thought I did. I looked at Zayn. He was very handsome. What really made me nervous was that he was looking at me to. I laid on the bed and smiled.
"You know Zayn, the incident at my date was kinda funny. But please, don't ruin-" I said lowly and yawned.
"But you cried in the bathroom didn't you?" he asked with a low voice. I nodded. I couldn't lie. It was kind of impossible.
"I'm sorry" he said. I could tell this time, he was serious. He hugged me and closed his eyes.
"I didn't know demons slept with pillows" I said and chuckled.
"I do" he said
"Goodnight" I said but he didn't answer. I guessed he was sleeping. He might have been but I didn't care. I gave him a goodnight peck. Did he feel it? I did not know. It was a sudden impulse.
Thank you for reading. When my school starts, my update schedule might change. I hope you enjoy reading the story nevertheless
Zayn would do anything to get Bethany's attention 😂
