“Have fun at work,” Zayn’s voice echoed through the phone. After we got back we decided to go our own ways. Harry and Piper were going on a date, Zayn wanted to sleep, and Luna and I needed to have a conversation. Although it may not have been my favoured option, it gave me the chance to see something really weird. When we were driving down my street I could have sworn I saw Piper’s ex’s car, which brought back memories and a terrible feeling. When we got home Piper was overly flustered and everything together just made me feel a bit off but I dismissed it, letting her go on her date with Harry.

“Piss off, we can’t all make it into the big league.” Not a morning person.

“Does that mean you want to?”

“Doesn’t everyone?”

“Can you just tell me, I might be able to help?”

“Zayn, I am perfectly fine doing what I’m doing.”

“Sure, anyway, isn’t your presentation soon?” I looked at my watch.

“Shit, I got to go. Wish me luck. Apparently there’s some other meeting today so I’ll talk to you whenever.” He found my rushed state amusing.

“G’luck babe, bye.” I said a rushed goodbye in return and hung up, checking my pant suit before rushing to my car.

~~~~~

After a long morning of presenting and lunch we were all ushered into the meeting room for god only knows what.

“So I bet you’re all wondering why we’ve called you in today?” Wayne, Gianni’s second in charge asked us and we nodded. “It has come to our attention that some of you haven’t been taught your morals well, and haven’t been correctly taught about sex. Body image as well, so today we have a special guest coming in to talk to you about that.” Many groans resonated from around the room.

“This is your own fault, you know who you are, so hold it together and be grateful, maybe take some of the information in.” Gianni scolded.

“We’re missing out on work… for this?” I shrugged in response to Luna, unsure really as to why we really needed to be here. I knew a lot about the areas they wanted us to learn about even though I am innocent. I also have done model shots before so I knew when they had and hadn’t technologically enhanced a photo.

I didn’t pay too much attention to whatever the chick was saying until she brought up some examples of Photoshop. She went through the pictures on each slide of her PowerPoint, pointing out which areas of the photo that had been edited.

She flicked to her nest slide and I felt my eyes widen before anger began to build up when she was pointing out all the ‘edited’ areas. Luna must have noticed my fists clenching and unclenching.

“Is something wrong?” She asked in my ear as my eyes stayed locked on the photo.

“Notice anything about the photo?” I asked through gritted teeth and it took a moment before recognition dawned on her face.

“Since when did you model? And why didn’t you tell me?” I was just fuming at this point at the lies this lady was telling, couldn’t they have hired someone better?

“They didn’t Photoshop anything,” her eyes widened as she took in my state again.

“Please don’t do anything drastic.”

I rolled my eyes, raising my hand and catching the attention of the lady. “Yes?”

“Sorry to interrupt, I was just wondering where you got your sources, how do you know if they’re really reliable?”

“Chelsea,” Gianni said in a warning tone but I kept my gaze on the woman, raising one eyebrow.

“I have very reliable sources, there have never been any problems in the past, and I can see this photo has been edited clearly. Does that answer your question?”

“No it doesn’t actually, how can you be sure that this photo was edited? Where you there?” she shook her head. “I already knew that though, your source is wrong.”

“Chelsea please,” Gianni whined only to be cut off by the speaker.

“How would you know?” She sounded amused, boy did she have it coming.

“I would know because the girl on the left, yep that one, is my twin sister. And the other girl, the one on the left, that’s me.” A few gasps and whistles sounded around the room. “We signed a contract saying that this photo would not be edited, in fact, the whole shoot was done to prove Photoshop wasn’t necessary. That’s how I know.” She just looked taken aback and I just smiled smugly. What can I say, I like being right.

“Well, um, erm, I’ll have to talk to my sources about that. I am terribly sorry, um, I don’t know what to say to you.” She stumbled on.

“It’s alright, I just don’t like being lied about to my face. Please continue the presentation.” She nodded and quickly got back into it. I caught Gianni’s eye and she raised her eyebrow questioningly and I just shrugged still annoyed and tense about being here.

As soon as the meeting was over I rushed out, avoiding many people who I really didn’t have the nerve to deal with. I texted Zayn seeing what he was up to. Nowadays he seemed to be the only person able to calm me down completely. I left the office and went to get some McDonalds comfort food.

~~~~~

“That’ll be-” she stopped abruptly when she turned to face me. “Oh my god, you’re Chelsea Parker, Zayn Malik’s new girlfriend!” She gushed excitedly.

“I may be Chelsea but I’m just friends with Zayn.” I told her laughing slightly.

“Oh, well, I ship Zelsea anyways, you’re my OTP.”

“Well, thanks I guess.”

“No problem, anyway, I’m sorry. You probably have better things to do and I have other customers I need to serve. That’ll be thirteen pound seventy.” I pulled out a twenty and told her to keep the change, telling her it was lovely meeting her. I grabbed my order and made it home in record time. I was greeted by Zayn, who was leaning against his car, arms crossed and smirking as he noticed what was in my hands.

“That text you sent didn’t make you sound happy at all and well-” he gestured to my food, “I thought it would be easier if I just came over.”

“How considerate of you Mr Malik, work was stupid.”

“Wanna talk ‘bout it?” I shrugged.

“Do you know of many calm and quiet places we could spend some time at?” I asked and he thought for a moment before nodding.

“We can take my car, but can you please eat that before we go?” I nodded and just sat down in my driveway, beginning to eat.

“Erm, what are you doing?” he asked.

“Eating,” I gestured to the food and he raised his eyebrows. “I’m lazy, get over it.” He shrugged before joining me, stealing a chip not that I minded or anything. We sat in a comfortable silence until I finished. “I need to throw this away and I should probably change so you can come inside and wait on the couch if you want.” He nodded, standing up before helping me.

“But you look sexy in a pantsuit,” he pointed out and I hit him on the arm causing him to laugh as we made our way inside.

I put on a black jumpsuit and some sandals, putting my hair into a messy bun and chucking my sunglasses on top of my head before fiddling with my silver belt. I found Zayn talking to Harry, Piper, Luna and Niall when I got downstairs, his head snapping in my direction after Luna had seen me. He got up and held his hand out to me and I willing took it.

“Where are you two goin’?” Niall asked.

“To clear my head,” I answered vaguely as I too had no idea where we were exactly heading. We turned to leave, not before Harry so beautifully called for us to ‘use protection’.

“You look lovely.” Zayn complemented as I shut the door behind us, the sincerity in his voice made a blush arise on my cheeks. His eyes sparkled as he looked me up and down. All I could manage was to stutter out a thank you.

“Where are we going?” I asked once I buckled myself into his car.

“Secret,” was all I received as an answer and I huffed, knowing full well that I wouldn’t be able to get a proper response from him.

~~~~~

Just under an hour later we pulled into a private reserve. I gave Zayn a weird look but he only sent a grin my way. The gates opened once he scanned some card and he pulled into a parking space, walking around to my side of the car and opening the door for me while I was still taking in our surroundings. He broke me out of my gaze by offering me a hand out of the car.

“Where are we Zayn?”

“My little get away, which is also where my family stays when they come to visit me. There’s a property up the back but I want to show you somewhere no one knows about.” He said guiding me through the trees. Soon enough we came to a grass opening and with the blanket Zayn had brought we made ourselves comfortable. I finally took the time to take in everything and a gasp escaped my lips as I raised a hand to them.

“It’s… it’s so beautiful Zayn.” I said a little breathless as I gazed out at the glistening lake in front of us. The grass we were sitting on was surrounding a clear blue lake with a pebbled bottom. It had some rocks around it as well and it was glistening in the rare London sun. The trees all around kept it hidden from the rest of the world and the whole feeling around it was so serene. He laughed to himself at my reaction.

“Sure it.”

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I remembered what had happened at work, letting out a huff.

“What’s on your mind?”

“At work today I had my presentation, which was great – a huge stress relief – but after lunch something weird happened. We were called in for a presentation, a body image and sexual education presentation.”

“Why the hell would they do that? You’re not in high school.”

“Apparently some people needed to be re-informed, I think they’ve been having problems with the way with what people wear and how others react to it. Either way, they still forced us to sit through all their crap instead of doing work. And low and behold the lady starts talking about how much photoshop is used in everyday life, how images aren’t real and of course she has a powerpoint of example photographs. A up comes this photo, it’s taken from behind so no one knew who was in it. She then starts explaining where all these things have been edited. Would you like to see the photo?” I asked and he nodded with a shrug. I pulled my phone out of my bra and he raised his eyebrows. “What? I didn’t have any pockets and I wanted to bring it with me.” He shrugged again and I brought the photo up before handing my phone to him. He observed the photo for a minute before looking at me for a second then returning his gaze to my phone.

“Who is it?”

“Me.” His eyes widened as he looked back and forth between the phone and me. “And my sister.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you modelled?” he asked after cursing under his breathe at my bikini shot.

“I didn’t think it was important, I just did it during university so I didn’t think it mattered. Back to my story, she shows this picture and points out all the ‘photoshopped’ areas and it angered me greatly. The photo hadn’t been edited in any way so I approached her about it. I left as soon as I could and now I’m here feeling very irritated by it all. Luckily I don’t have work tomorrow so I can avoid Gianni.” I lay back on the blanket. “It’s so lovely here,” I told him as he lay down beside me.

“I know, it’s a great escape. Are you ok though?” he asked as he guided my body to rest on his as he placed one arm under his head.

“I guess. I’m just overreacting and I need time to think and let everything to settle down but I’ll be fine.” I told him as I nodded my head into his chest.

“You be fine.”

We must have lay there at least an hour talking about many things. We were cocooned in the blanket and the sun was setting behind the trees. I suddenly unrolled myself, obviously surprising Zayn.

“Are we going to stay here tonight?”

“If you want too… why?” he asked looking confused.

“Can we go in?” I asked making him more confused. “Into the lake?”

“I guess so, what are you-"

“Yay! Can you unzip me?” I asked turning my back to him.

“What?” he sounded to be choking on air.

“Can you unzip me please?” his fingers fumbled with the zipper before he slowly dragged it down my back, pulling the strings at the top before undoing my belt for me. I stood up letting the top half fall, slowly shimmying out of it completely. Zayn’s eyes widened and he noticeably gulped as he took in my half naked body in front of him. “Are you coming in?” I asked as a smirk formed on his face.

“Hmm, I kind of like the view from here.” I rolled my eyes before pulling a puppy dog face.

“Please?” he got up, removing his jacket before pulling his shirt over his head. He took off his socks as we had already removed our shoes before he discarded his pants with the rest of his clothing. I was struggling not to drool over his body but my god was it hard.

He sent a smirk my way and held a hand out for me to take before he led me to the water. He stopped right before we reached the lake and he looked to be contemplating something. It took me a moment to remember.

“You can’t swim right?” he avoided making eye contact and awkwardly coughed.

“How’d you know?”

“Well Piper can’t resist telling me every detail about you guys, and your sisters may have mentioned something.” I giggled feeling slightly overwhelmed by our joined hands and secluded location.

“Oh god,” he mumbled under his breathe.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you alive.”

“Just like I did for you?” he smirked.

“Yeah, but this time it’ll be more heroic.

“I don’t think so,” he chuckled darkly
.
“Mmm, yeah,” I said smugly as his hand left mine, a feeling of emptiness seeming to wash over. I was lifted into the air by arms around my waist, causing me to squeal. His fingers dug into my ticklish sides and I squirmed in his grip. He walked into the water slightly as I squealed even more.

“Put me down!” I finally got out and soon enough cold water was surrounding me.

*Zayn’s P.O.V.*

What was this bloody girl doing to me? She looked so bloody desirable in her lingerie. I think she was trying to kill me. A smug feeling spread through me once I had stripped, only to catch her gawking at me. I had to think of Perrie murdering cute puppies to control a certain problem of mine, and picking Chelsea up didn’t help me out all that much. Her skin against mine put me into overdrive, a different feeling from ever running through me. I always felt different around her, a good different though. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was. Or maybe you just don’t want to. Shut up brain! Our closeness was almost overwhelming and I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. She made my mind go blank.

The water got deep quickly, so when she asked to be put down while she was thrashing about she was submerged under the cold water. If she was standing she would have only been about hip deep but watching her kept me entertained so I didn’t mind. She reappeared spluttering about and pushing her hair out of her face. I almost wished I hadn’t thrown her in the water, actually, even allowed her to go in in the first place. It only made her limited clothing cling to her more and it became slightly see through. Her exposed skin glistened as water droplets ran down her toned body. I was aware that I was gapping at her but I honestly couldn’t help myself, she was too beautiful – almost godlike – not to. It didn’t help how she was also extremely fit. She finished adjusting herself before her eyes landed on mine causing a blush to arise on her cheeks. She hit my arm, whining my name and snapping me out of my daze.

“I hate you! It’s fucking freezing in there.” She crossed her arms, subsequently pushing up her already generous chest. That and her fucking foul mouth was doing my head in. Snap out of it Zayn. I let a sly grin spread over my face.

“I only did as you asked.” She huffed before working out further and smoothly diving under the surface. I walked out further to watch her, she was so mesmerising and it was at this point I thanked the gods that the lake was a crystal blue. I was shoulder deep in the water when I somehow lost sight of her, probably as I was lost in my own thoughts. My first reaction was to frantically look around for her, only then registering how far out in the water I was and I panicked. Something wrapped around my ankles before I was pulled under. A grinning Chelsea swam over me and after regaining her own feeting she helped to pull me up. My arms wrapped around her waist and I buried my face in her neck while she laughed at me.

“You freaked me the fuck out! I hate you, you know that right?”

“I can tell, the feeling is mutual.” I pulled away and she attempted to float on her back. “Fuck life, I’ve never been able to do this.” She made eye contact with me and I only laughed at her, shaking my head before showing off by copying her movements only to do it properly.

“You mean like this? This is my specialty.” I winked at her and she playfully glared at me and splashed some water on me.

“I’d be tempted to jump on you to sink you but you know, you can’t swim or anything.” She trailed off looking into the distance.

“You could still jump on me, I wouldn’t mind dying for that.” I got a punch in the stomach for that comment but I took the opportunity to grab her hand before directing her on how to float.

“Have the boys ever tried to teach you to swim?” she asked me after a few minutes of silence.

“Tried is the important word there.” She chuckled to herself, standing up.

“Show me.”

“Look,” I gestured to myself and she hit me on my stomach.

“You are so annoying,” she whined as I stood up myself, letting out a chuckle at her. “It’s getting cold,” she told me, rubbing her arms and legs as we just kind of swayed with the water. I immediately brought her into my arms and she sighed resting her head in my neck whilst her arms draped over my shoulders. She cuddled closer to me as my heart rate increased. “You’re warm,” she mumbled and her legs wrapped around my waist, probably subconsciously. I had to hold in a groan though. She hummed in approval before freezing and jerking her top half back after a second to look at me, a blush adorning her cheeks. “Shit I’m sorry, I-I didn’t mean to uh-“ she started off awkwardly but I cut her off.

“Don’t worry Chels, it’s fine.” She nodded and began to unwrap her legs from around me but I rewrapped them around myself, holding onto her thighs. “Stay,” she nodded, even more rosy cheeked than before.

“I- uh, sorry.” She bit her lip looking at me through her wet eyelashes, she just looked so perfect in this moment. This was the one time I wished the paparazzi would be around, to capture her beauty like this. But then I would need to keep the photo for myself so no one else could have my girl. I brought my hand up to her face, freeing her lip with my thumb before stroking over her cheek. I couldn’t- I just couldn’t take it anymore, and I’d be darned if I missed this opportunity. With my palm cupping her face, I pressed my lips gently against hers. I pulled back for a second to check that she was ok but she quickly pulled me back with her arms, crashing her lips against mine again. The kiss was more passionate and heated this time, her hands running through my hair. I swiped my tongue against her lower lip and she opened her mouth quickly. Not to be cliché or a sap but I felt a spark, a connection to her through this kiss, like it held more meaning than I knew. The feeling inside me was off the rails and in this moment nothing mattered, I couldn’t be happier. She let out a small moan as my tongue massaged a certain area of her mouth, a grin spreading on my face as she pulled away smiling shyly at me.

“Wow,” she breathed as we struggled to pull ourselves together again.

Wow alright.
