You Mean The World To Me (Ziall) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 31

I will still update tomorrow as my regular updating day for this book. It's still unedited but it's a short one. Although it's a short one, I am positively sure that most of you will faint, squeal, scream, or feel any overwhelming emotions because something will happen... You just have to hold on for the next twenty-four hours :D

The dinner couldn't be more awkward if it weren't the sudden appearance of the girl that Zayn doesn't want to be there. It was none other than his first ex-girlfriend, Camille. He was too worried and frightened that any second that his boyfriend would walk out on him. Niall and himself talked about that nothing was going on between him and Camille anymore. Hence, Zayn disposing of the reminders of Camille in his room. Then suddenly she appeared out of nowhere, Zayn was terrified what was his boyfriend thinking about. What was more shocking that Camille and Waliyha were good friends—he didn't know that! Now, he was more determined to reconnect with his family to not deal with this surprise visit from anyone in his past.

"So... it was really sweet of you to show up in here..." Cold sweats escaping from Zayn. Glancing from his left, he realized that he said the wrong thing by the grimly stares he was receiving from his blonde boyfriend.

"Oh, it was nothing, really..." Camille smiled, tucking her long, wavy brown hair that could be misinterpreted as flirting. "I'm really surprised when Waliyha texted me earlier."

"Oh..." A hint of astonishment escaped from Zayn. He knew that Waliyha was the mastermind of this manipulation. Zayn must talk to Waliyha right after this and show her not to mess with him. He slid his hand under the table to squeeze his boyfriend's hand. Unfortunately, he was rejected as Niall ignored his sweet gestures. Zayn knew that his life was barely hanging by a thread.

The dinner continued with the other Malik members in the table, chatting with one another. Everything was going so well, at least, that's what Zayn thought until Waliyha decided to ruin it for him.

"You remember when I caught you and my brother having sex," Zayn almost choked on the broccoli he's trying to swallow when he heard his sister talking to Camille.

"Waliyha, shut the fuck up!" Zayn growled, glaring at his sister. "What the fuck is the matter with you!"

"What?!" Waliyha responded with the same intensity. "Just in case you didn't know, the wall is paper thin and the door was unlocked."

"Oh dear..." Doniya sighed, waiting for another family dinner to blow up in their faces. "You know what, let's try to find something better to watch," she elbowed Safaa on her left, pointing to the living room. But before the two females could stand up, they heard the thundering voice of their father, halting their movements.

"Zayn, watch your tone! That is not how you speak to your sister!"

"Dad, I'm not just gonna sit here and watch Waliyha terrorize Niall!" Zayn spat; his intense gaze was not leaving from his sister. He could not believe that Waliyha practically engineered that conversation. Zayn knew that she wanted to plant a seed of doubt in his boyfriend's mind. That was something that Zayn couldn't allow.

"Waliyha, say you're sorry. You are in the wrong in here," Yaser stated, staring intently at his daughter. Raising four children was not easy for him and for his wife but he tried to ingrain in their lives to do the right thing as much as possible.

"I am not gonna say sorry," Waliyha stood firm with what she believed in, facing Zayn with a glare on her face. "You cannot drop by here all of a sudden and tell us 'Oh, sorry. I'm gay and I have a boyfriend,'" She mocked, making this offensive, rude faces, directed at her brother.

"Who do the fuck do you think you're talking to—You know what..." Zayn shut his eyes off, inhaling and exhaling deeply to purge the negative thoughts in his head. This was the last thing that Zayn wanted when he visited his family. He thought that they could be happy for him but clearly that wasn't the case.
