Meghan-5

'Mascara anddd... Done!' I said staring at my reflection in the mirror. My door opened to reveal my sister, Gracie.

'You look great sis. Black has always been your thing'. She said
'You don't think it's too short to meet June's in-laws?' I asked, dragging the dress which was just above my knees.

It's a very simple dress that I love, I don't know why I'm feeling nervous all of a sudden.
'It's fine, it's just dinner. Let's go down, our guests are here already'.

I took a deep breath and walked out of my room and down the stairs with her.

I see Mr Rodriguez and Stuart, Gracie's boyfriend standing by the bar, of course he'd be here, he's family.

From the noise coming from the kitchen, it's obvious the mothers are there. I look to the living room and see Zayn sitting there with his signature smirk on, holding a glass of orange juice? So he did softs.

'No way! He didn't wear that jacket to a family dinner'. Gracie said, chuckling. I didn't expect him to dress in a suit or something.

'Oh hey girls!' Mrs Rodriguez said as she helped my mom bring the food out of the kitchen.
'Hello Mrs Rodriguez'. Gracie and I greeted.

'Oh please, call me Linda'. She said smiling. I wonder what's wrong with her, during the wedding she seemed all serious and sophisticated, now she's all smiley and still sophisticated. Maybe it was the the stress of planning a wedding.

'Food is ready, to the dinning everyone'. My mom said and we all moved to the dinning. Mom sat at the head with Zayn and his parents to her right and Gracie, Stuart and I to her left, leaving me directly infront of the asshole.

'Oh Linda it's so nice to finally have you here like this'. My mom said, wanting to start conversation. The woman knows nothing about table manners.
'It's nice being here, Sussie'.

Nicknames? How nice.
'Hmm, this is so goood!' Linda said, chewing gently on a shrimp. 'It reminds me of June's cooking'.
'How's June?' I asked.
'She must be doing great with Malik at Paris'. Mr Rodriguez said.

'Paris?!' Gracie exclaimed.
'Yes dear. They went down there this morning for their honeymoon'. Linda said.

'OMG! That's so cool. We're going down there for our honeymoon too, Stuart, we have to'. Gracie said, dragging her boyfriend's hand.

'Get him to put a ring on your finger first'. I murmur but since I'm so bad at it, everyone hears me and are wearing shocked expressions except Zayn who is smirking, big surprise there.

My mom was about to kill me with her eyes when Linda spoke up.

'I bet you also want to go to Paris, Meghan'.
'Nah'. I shrugged.
'Why not?' Smirky asked.
'Coz that's be too corny, everyone is going there. I want something different, maybe South Africa'.

'What?' They said
'Cool'. Zayn said with a small smile. After that the table was silent again.

'So how's work Isaac?' My mom asked Zayn's dad.

'Stressful as usual. Surgeries have not been the same without Henry there'. He said and there was a slight change in atmosphere at the mention of my dad.

The Rodriguez' have always been close friends of my parents but due to my 'busy' schedule I never got to meet them and that is why I had no idea Zayn was their son.

'Henry always wanted our friendship to last forever, he would've been the happiest at our children's wedding'. My mom said.

'He was rooting for Zayn and Meghan'. Linda said and my eyes shot up to meet Zayn's, he smirked. My dad knew him? That means Zayn had known about my relationship with June for a long time.
