There You Are(ziam)

Chapter 3

In a second he moved away from Jacob and his body literally trembled as he saw Zayn approach them with anger clearly written on his face.

"Liam, are you alright? Why are you so pale? Didn't you like the kiss? I'm so sorry Li, I ruined your first kiss, I'm an idiot!" Jacob was rambling beside him but the curly haired boy had his sole focus on the dark haired man.

Liam thought that if Zayn was given an opportunity he could rip Liam apart, judging by the fierce look of his hazel eyes. He gulped loudly as the dark haired guard approached them, reducing the distance between them.

Maybe luck was on his side, or maybe some power was working from above as Louis quickly stepped in between them, separating the two. Harry started talking to Jacob to distract him while Louis grabbed Liam's arm and walked towards his car.

He had to thank his best friends later, he reminded himself as he absently followed the blue eyed boy. Louis' car wasn't visible due to the darkness around them and Liam thought he was finally safe from Zayn but unfortunately he thought wrong.

He screamed as someone grabbed his other wrist. He was turned around harshly and his body slammed into a strong chest. Angry hazel eyes glared at him and Liam did nothing but stupidly blink back at the man.

"Why did you lie to Hank? And who is that boy?" Zayn questioned him, his grip on the curly one's slender wrist tightened more.

"Hey, don't touch him!" Louis yelled as he tried to get Liam away from Zayn.

"Answer me first" The authoritative tone of the man's voice made Liam's whole body shiver. He tried to release himself from the iron grip Zayn had on his wrist, but to no avail was he successful.

"He won't answer your stupid questions! And who the hell are you?" Louis was clearly frustrated now, and Liam tried to speak up but his body was trembling with fear of the dark haired man.

First of all he had never seen his friend this angry before, it looked like Louis will blow up Zayn's head if he touched Liam again. And secondly, he was terrified by the look Zayn was giving them both, as if with a snap of his fingers, he could destroy them.

Zayn released him and still with that menacing look, glared at them both. Liam couldn't help but pout as he lightly touched his bruised wrist.

"I'm not gonna ask again, Mr Payne. Why did you lie? You do realise if my boss finds out about this, you could very well say goodbye to your future plans to study right?"

Even though Zayn was pissed off, his voice held something close to concern and stupidly, Liam's heart melted, well just a bit.

The curly haired boy stared at the man with a slight awe in his brown eyes, which wasn't missed by his best friend.

"You're Zayn!" Louis practically yelled and pushed Liam towards the dark haired man, "He's yours only, man. Do whatever you want to"

"Louis!" Liam blushed to his roots, his body shivered as Zayn placed his hands on his hips to stable them both.

For the first time he noted the height difference between them. He would only reach till Zayn's chin, and his build was much leaner than Zayn's. The man moved away a bit from Liam, but for some weird reason, the curly haired boy didn't want that.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you are Zayn, I thought you were one of Mikhael's squad "

"I am in his squad"

"But you're different, Liam lik-"

"Shut up Lou. Please just shut up for a minute" Liam tiredly said and turned to face Zayn, "I went on a date, I knew Mikhael won't agree to it, that's why I lied"
