Sophia's POV

Groggily I rubbed my eyes and let out a a short moan. Shrinking my body I turned on my right. After adjusting myself I realised that I was in the best position.

But soon after I screeched and sat straight on my butt with a look of fear rushing on my face.

Stella giggled and I threw daggers at her. Her giggling stopped when there was a knock on the window.

"We are here. Come on.." Zayn said looking quite exhausted.

Opening the doors of our car, wait correct that Zayn's car we stepped out. Yawning I stretched and took a deep breath. I closed my eyes when the fresh wind hustled past my face.

Zayn and Justin were still dragging out our bags. I took the opportunity to scrutinize my surroundings.

Our car stood on the narrow road which had lush green trees on the either sides, rustling in the wind.

I jerked my head to the left then to the right. The entire place only had tall, heavy trees. It seemed to me as if they had been here since the ancient time. There were a few more small cottages but they appeared to be isolated.

Okay. So basically we were almost alone in this forest like place. Great.

I turned around when someone tapped my shoulder. "What happened?" Zayn questioned with probably no particular emotions on his face. I shook my head.

He blinked then passed his billion dollar, scracth that zillion dollar smile. Gesturing for me to follow him he picked up the bags.
I glanced at the cottage and it looked just like the other cottages in this place. We stepped inside and I admired the place.

It was actually beautiful. There was a small area with a couch and cool beanbags. In front of them was a large screen. I mouthed a wow when I realised that it's a home theater.

I few steps ahead there was a tiny open kitchen. Just next to the kitchen there were stairs which led to God knows where. Whoa! That rhymed.

I strolled inside and plopped on the beanbag. "What time it is?" I asked specifically to no one.

"Umm..." Zayn glanced at his wrist watch. "It's half past four."

I sighed and circled my belly with my right hand.

"Hungry?" Zayn questioned irking his left brow.

"Starving." I, Justin and Stella replied simultaneously.

Zayn plopped on the couch, tucking a hand under his head. His perfect muscles bulged out and I gulped at the desirable sight.

"Will and Samantha called me. They said that they will be bringing some food." He said.

Knock! Knock!

I closed my eyes and Stella shifted on the other side, pretending as if we had drifted away.

Knock! Knock!

Zayn stretched his arms and muttered something. Soon his eyes were shut too.

I heard Justin mutter something like fucking torpids and fakers as he stomped towards the door. We all opened our eyes and sat comfortably on our places waiting for the food to be placed in front of us.

Jabbing the food bag on the table Samantha flumped down on the couch and closed her eyes.

"What did you guys bring?" Stella questioned.

"Um..it's Chicken Tikka Masala. We all the way went to that Indian restaurant which probably took a lot of time. The restaurant was crowded and we had to wait for sometime." Will replied whilst he removed his converse.

"Sometime? Dude, we stood there for like half an hour." Sam retorted. "My ass."

"Aww you guys are so sweet. Anyways, I'm really hungry. Let's eat." I stated.

We all gathered peacefully with the delectable food on the table.

Impatiently I stuffed some Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan in my mouth. Heaven.

We continued to eat for sometime. When I saw that most of the people were already done and rubbing their bellies I took the opportunity to grab the only Naan left, in the plate.

Biting my lower lip I greedily extended my hand towards the plate.

I jerked my head to the right when someone else's hand made a contact with mine.

When I saw Zayn smirking with pride Deja vu hit me hard.

This time I won't let him take my food. I'm not gonna melt by his charms. I'm not gonna lose.

I smirked just to show that I was confident but deep inside I was dying. Those electrifying sparks were killing me. But ahan, I'm not gonna make this so freaking obvious to Zayn that I have something for him.

He sighed. "Give up princess. You know, seeing you loose again and again just don't feel right."

I snickered. "Seriously? Your bad cause this time I won't."

"Seriously guys? You are practically fighting over a piece of Naan?" Samantha said in a duh tone.

I narrowed my eyes at her and she rolled her eyes. "Zayn leave it." I said.

He pouted like a baby but soon his actions were replaced by a killing smirk. "Nope."

"You know you guys can share." Said William.

This was actually fun. Fighting with Zayn. I don't know why but it felt so good. Like, arguing over silly things. His hand was still on top of mine and the sparks continue to multiply as seconds passed.

"Do you want to share?" Zayn asked. Softly I guess?

I had not problem in sharing but I just didn't wanted to lose again. That would be demeaning. Also, after a lot of shitty days I was here. I decided to live on the wildside and have some fun.

"Nope." I imitated Zayn's firm, British 'nope' and he chuckled.

Time to end the game.

With all the energy I had, I pulled the Naan to my direction but Zayn was too quick. He grabbed my wrist, gently and pulled me towards him. I struggled to get out of his grip but could you possibly win to a gym freak? I guess not.

The play was on. He would pull it towards him while I would snatch it away. I used all the energy I had while Zayn was lazily lying on the couch.

When I finally decided to let it go I was pulled abruptly and my head hit a strong thing.

Little did I knew it was Zayn's chest. I rubbed my forehead and glanced at him.

His deep chocolate brown eyes were glinting with amusement. His pink lips were slightly parted. His perfect jawline was easily visible and his face had all the glory.

My heart was racing and my breath hitched. The feeling was......beautiful.

He looked at my eyes then to my lips while my eyes were glued to his gorgeous brown ones.

When I heard a few coughs and clearing of throats I abruptly stood up. No matter how much I tried but I just couldn't get rid of the heavy blush.

Zayn stood up too and scratched his neck. Coughing he muttered something and walked towards the kitchen.

Sam and Stella nudged me and I rolled my eyes.

What happened to the poor Naan?

I have no idea.

"Justin I repeat again. We. Are. Not. Interested in Starwars." Stella said.

"Why? It's a fucking cool movie!" Justin stated excitedly.

"Why couldn't you get us some chick flicks?" Samantha, the lady of our group questioned.

I rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen. I was having a bizarre feeling. Whatever happened in the party the previous night. I just couldn't get those scenes out of my mind. James is such a douche.

"Come on guys!" A familiar voice chimed and I walked to the living area.

"We have set up everything. Come out!" Will commanded.

I wondered what they have done. Just when I was about to ask I was pulled by Stella and she dragged me out of the cottage.

The fresh wind blew past my face and I was delighted. It was so beautiful to be here connected to nature.

I looked up and gasped when I saw the entire sky filled with stars which seemed to be the brightest stars of the entire universe. They twinkled with delectation.

We strolled towards the either side of the cottage where all the arrangements were made. There was a barbecue set up in the middle and next to it was a table with many cans.

We sat comfortably on the fresh, soft grass and barbecued the whole night. Almost the whole night drinking, laughing and eating.

The stars brought peace to my untamed heart but deep inside there was a strange feeling as if something is wrong.

Heya people!

(Incase  you don't know what Naan is it's an Indian bread.)

I finally updated after a decade. Although I was free, I was on a writer's block. And also I was kinda busy working on my other book.

Anyways, keep supporting.
