Zayn Malik's Long Lost Sister (Unedited)

26. Liam

"Your eyes are beautiful." Liam says, and I peek up to see if he's talking to me. He is.

"Thank you."

"I always liked a woman with nice eyes."

"Hinting?"

"Hmmm?"

"Nothing." I shook my head and grabbed a plate from the small buffet, scanning over the multiple pastas and salads.

"So, tell me about yourself." Liam suggested, not picking up a plate but following my movements.

"Okay, what do you already know about me?"

"Only that you were adopted. And that your Zayn's half sister. And that you live in Florida. And you were given up at three days old. And Zayn's mum still holds your birth rights. And you work at a marine park. And-"

"Damn, is there anything you don't know?" I scoff.

"Your relationship status."

I pulled my eyebrows together and turned my body in his direction, staring up at him. "Why do you wanna know that?"

"I- Uh, it was just an example that I know you, but also don't."

"Huh," I turned back to making my salad, adding a small scoop of croutons.

"I also know you sing." Liam says. "I've seen your YouTube videos. You've got quite a voice."

"Thanks."

"And you met Demi."

I let out a breathily laugh. "Who told you that?"

"Demi. She had taken a picture with you and it was all over Twitter with the hashtag 'I met her first, Zayn'."

I giggled and shook my head. "I still can't believe I met her. She's my idol."

"Now you can meet a lot of people you look up to."

"I don't look up to a lot." I confessed. I topped my salad off with a small little tomato, putting four cut cucumbers on the side.

"Are you a Directioner?"

"Do I have a choice now?"

"Yes. But I meant before you found out." Liam is very pushy for answers.

"I heard of you guys, but I like classical music. Stuff that's been around when I was a kid. My parents wouldn't give me much variety in music and the first time I got into Demi Lovato, it was because my mom thought I could test the high notes. Oh, and I like John Mayer. Dad loves country."

"What's your favorite classic?"

"Elton John is a classic, so it would probably be 'Sorry seems to be the hardest word'."

"Nice. So-?"

"Why are you asking me so many questions?"

"I just would like to get to know my mates sister." Liam says, his shoulders coming up.

"So you've done this with all my sisters? And the rest of the boys?"

"No, that's just creepy."

"My point exactly." I smiled at him before taking my plate of salad back to the table where there was a huge pan with a pizza in it.

Niall shoveled a piece of pizza from the hot pan and politely placed one on everyone's plate. After thanking him, I started with my salad. At least the lettuce leaves taste fresh. The tomato was gross, though. I took a smile bite and wanted to spit it out into my napkin but swallow it with water instead.
