#The_next_day
I walk out of my room and saw Flora shutting her door room. She look to my direction and look away immediately.
What the?
I watch her back as she walk down the hallway.
Really?
Is she pissed at me or something? I thought as I walk after her.
She descended the last stair and I watch as she walk inside the kitchen.
Seriously?
“Yo man!” I heard Reid’s voice behind me and I rolled my eyes.
I got down from the stair and strode into the dinning room.
I took my seat while Reid took his opposite mine.
“Okay, so tell me what’s up with almighty Zayn mood this morning?” Reid says and I raised a brow at him.
He rolled his eyes and I shrug.
“I actually saw everything Zayn” he says and I folded my hands on my che-st.
He leaned closer.
“Uhm..you should apologize to her” he whispers and I huff.
I turned my head to the kitchen direction and saw her walking out with a tray in her hand.
“Good morning” she greeted Reid with a light smile on her face and a frown crept on my face.
What?
I watch as she place the tray on the table; she met my eyes on her and dart her eyes to Reid’s
“How was your night my lady?” Reid asked in a seductive voice and I resist the urge to throw a punch at him right now.
Flora chuckle softly and nodded.
“It was great Reid, I’ll be right back” she replied and turned around to leave.
Reid turn to face me, beaming with smiles.
“She’s so pretty, isn’t she?” He says.
“I’ll give everything to have her wrapped around my fingers” Reid sniggers.
I just stare at him with pure disgusts.
Di*khead.
“Good morning guys” I heard Mrs Roseline voice.
We both look up at her approaching the table with a tray.
“Hope you dreamt about me?” Reid teases her and I shake my head.
“nau-ghty boy” Mrs Roseline giggles and nudge his arm playfully.
“Tell Flora to come out of the kitchen already” Reid pouted to Mrs Roseline and she smiles and turned to leave.
I watch as Mrs Roseline walk back into the kitchen before turning to Reid.
“You think this is funny?” I asked him clearly pissed.
“What?” He asked with a light shrug.
“Be careful..” I was telling him but he glance up and saw Flora walking in.
“Come here, come here” He urge her enthusiastically.
He helped her drag a chair backward next to him and motioned her to seat. Flora just smile and sit.
“So shall we?” He asked Flora and she nodded.
I just watch them and huff.
Reid opened the dishes and smile broadly.
“Whoa.. it’s baked chicken and salad” He emphasised.
Flora laughs and picked her cutlery.
“No my lady, as a gentleman that I am, it’s my duty to dish your food” Reid drawled.
Flora cheeks turned red and I scoffed silently.
It’s obvious Reid’s words is really getting into her head.
I watch as he grab a flatware and dish the food.
He place it in front of Flora with all smiles in his face.
As*hole.
“Thank you” Flora told him.
He smile and beckoned her to start eating.
I breath out softly and dish my food.
Why the fuc-k am I feeling this way?
Why does it hurt seeing her smile with Reid?
I started eating slowly, even though I really don’t feel like eating anymore.
I glance at her at any slight chance I get.
Geez!
C’mon Zayn.
I poured out water into a glas-s cu-p.
I heard Flora coughs and I quickly carry my cu-p of water and stretched it to her at the same time Reid also offered his glas-s of water.
Damn!
She collected Reid’s glas-s of water and I could feel my heart sank as my fist clenched on the table.
I stare at her as she gulped the water and drop the glas-s cu-p.
“Thank you” she smile at Reid and grab her fork again.
Reid meet my gaze and his li-ps curved to a sm-irking one.
Motherfu*ker.
I shot him a ha-rd glare and he look away immediately.
Does this really seems like a joke to him?
I gulped water and stood on my feet.
This ain’t funny anymore. I thought as I walk out of the dinning room.
****
?Flora POV?
I watch his back till he disappears.
This is the second time he’s doing this.
I sighed softly and drop my cutlery.
“You’re okay?” Reid asked and I smile at him.
Why do I have this feeling he deliberately did all that to see Zayn like that?
But like how?
“Don’t pay attention to him, he’ll definitely request for food when he’s hungry” Reid says and bite on his chicken.
I chuckle lightly and nodded.
“Uhm.. Reid” I called after a brief moment.
He turned to me with mouthful and I shot him a small smile.
He really looks cute.
He swallowed.
“Do you have something to say?” He asked and I twisted my li-ps, thinking if I should say it or not.
“You can tell me” He urge and I sighed softly.
“Can I stay with you?” I throw the question at him and I watch as his eyes dilated.

♥️Episode Twenty two♥️
|•Flora POV•|
“Can I stay with you?” I throw the question at him and I watch as his eyes dilated.
“Please” I pouted my li-ps.
“Are you serious?” He laughed.
“Of course I am, Zayn is probably tired of me staying with him” I said with an eye roll.
“You’re still offended about that?” He asked calmly and I breathe out.
He wiped his mouth with a napkin and rose to his feet.
“Come with me” he urge.
I stood on my feet and we both walk out of the dinning room.
———
“Zayn was once a happy guy” Reid began as we both walk into the garden.
He gestured me to sit, and I slowly sit on one of the wooden chairs across the table.
“He’d a great family-his Dad was rated among the top business men in the whole USA back then” he continued.
I watch as he took his seat next to mine and sighed.
“His mum possessed a very well known jewelry sto-re” he added and I just listen to him with keen interest.
“He’d a little sister, Iris- they were very fond of each other, they did almost everything together”
Whoa
He has a sister?
“Everything is at their beck, they never lacked but you see everything happened so fast” he said in a sad tone and I adjusted on my seat.
“His Dad had a lot of rivals and competitors because he’d stand out in his own field, he’d make sure even the poor’s were able to afford his goods and you know, which was not like that among others. So that brou-ght so much envyness from every angle but yet,he never cared”
“They threatened him with his own family and workers but he always find his escape route, he defeated them each time untill one day” he paused and turned to me.
“Zayn’d returned from school with Iris, his sister. They got to the living room and found their parents in their own pool of blood” he said and I gasped.
Oh my goodness!
“What?” I murmured.
He nodded and turned to stare at the table.
“Who murdered them?” My voice hitched, clearly I’ll cry anytime soon.
He sighed and glance at me before taking his eyes back to the table.
“The murderer couldn’t be traced, they were both shot in their forehead and according to the info they could summoned, they were shot by an hired as-sas-sin but the mystery behind it is that, whoever that sent the as-sas-sin hasn’t been revealed till today and their lawyers really tried their best in revealing the truth but to no avail” he narrated and sighed heavily.
“That was epic”I breathe out.
“Zayn mustn’t find out about what I just shared with you” he warned and I gave a short nod.
I really feel for him,he has really gone throu-gha lot.
I sniffed my pending tears and breathe out again.
“But where is his sister now?” I asked him after a short silence.
He drew in a long breathe and turned to face me.
“Would you like to come with us to a party tonight?” He asked, obviously trying to lighten up the mood and I rolled my eyes.
“C’mon girl” he got on his feet and pulled me by my hand.
“You haven’t answered my question, Reid” I reminded as I let him drag me along.
“Story for another day, girl” he winked at me and I whined.
Reid laughed as we both step into the house.
“Stop whining, how about a shopping?” He smi-rked and I bite my lower li-p to prevent me from smiling.
That sounds nice.
“Now smile baby”he pulled my cheek playfully and I laughed.
“Let’s go inform his majesty” he whispered and I chuckle.
His majesty, really?
***
Reid knocks softly on Zayn’s door but he’s not responding.
He look at me and I shrugged.
Uhmm
He took my hand and bent the doorknob.
We both walk into his room and a “whoa” escaped my mouth.
I let go of Reid’s hand and stood dumbfounded as I stare at the whole room in awe.
It looks beautiful.
His King size bed is covered with a white bedspread.
The wallpaper in the room looks simple but amusing.
The two white couches across the center table in the room really looks comfy.
He really has taste I must say.
“Zayn” I heard Reid voice and I swallowed.
Yeah Zayn.. we’re actually here to see him, how could I zone out?
I stand properly and look forward to see him sitting on a reading chair, backing us.
“Zayn” Reid called again but he didn’t turn and I can hear him sniffing whatever.
“Well.. I just came to inform you that, I would like Flora to come with us to tonight’s party” Reid told him and he turned to us abruptly.
He met my gaze and he raised a brow at me.
Oh.. I grab.
Like, what am I doing in his room?
Uhmm..
And what’s that white substance in his nose? I crea-sed my brows in confusion as I stare at his nose.
“Is that fine with you?” I heard Reid asked,when he’d refused to say something.
He glance from my face to Reid’s face and turned to whatever he was doing.
Whoa..
This guy is really something.
“See you later then” Reid says and gestured for me to come along.
I quickly walk behind him but stop walking when i got to the door, I take my eyes back to Zayn and shook my head.
Uhm..
“Come on Flora” Reid urge and with one last look,I walk out of his room.
“You sure he’s okay?” I asked Reid as we descend the stairs.
He look at me and smile.
“Of course” He replied and I nodded.
I hope so.
