ZIAM RP - LOVE BUSINESS
Zayn felt very succesful when he noticed how much he was able to control the situation with his mannerisms and behaviour. It was obvious that the way he handled himself and spoke to the younger male, made a noticeable difference on how Liam was able to correspond. What made Malik especially happy, was the fact that instead of calling him out and denying being his fiancé, the brunet bit his lip shyly. That together with everything else made the 23-year-old male feel quite content though him and Liam were far from being on stable ground. There was still so much for them to figure out about themselves but also about each other and their fathers - the whole new situation needed some inspecting before they could even start to really pretend to be exclusive and make it believable.
The next minutes passed with Malik waiting for a quiet Liam to react to his words, give him anything - but he was made to realize that there was nothing to come, the younger male had found his own way to grasp the handles of the situation and play for some time for himself. Luckily the time didn't go to waste completely, since Liam was once again sporting a blush on his pretty pretty face and Zayn really couldn't do anything else but stare. Who could really even blame the brown eyed male for it? After seeing young Mr Payne, no one would be able to take their eyes off of him, that's something Zayn was convinced about. The future business mogul was both proud and bothered by the fact that someone as breathtaking as Liam had been brought into his life. Proud well because...it was obvious - but bothered because the brunet being as gorgeous as he was, was bound to get him many lingering looks and Zayn wasn't sure how he would deal with those, he really wasn't here for them and sometimes it scared him, how possessive he already felt. "Much better, but your sarcastic wit kind of cuts into the emotion", the older man said in a low tone and raised his other brow in what could be taken as a warning way. "I'm glad you're not thinking of going our different ways before we've even tied the knot", Malik commented playfully after he was reassured that things were still fine between them and Liam wasn't thinking of throwing in the towel. "Oh yeah? Want to enlighten me a bit more on this topic? I would love to hear more..."
After giving Liam a dark look and licking his lips following his latest words, Zayn got to observe the younger one after possibly going way too far too soon with his hinting. The blond male did enjoy witnessing the nervousness that took over the other one, it was very endearing in reality and the older man just wanted to grasp Liam's face between his hands and squeeze his cheeks because ever since the brunet entered his life, he had started experiencing emotions he hadn't even known existed in him before. Liam was the reason to Malik going through fonding spasms and he was still trying to figure out how to deal with them - he was used to being so cool and collected that they always left him feeling very much out of place and numb until he found himself again. "Hey, none of that love, we need to be able to talk about these things, I don't want my fiancé shying away from me", the 23-year-old said with authority in his voice, catching the other one's shin between his fingers and guiding his face back towards himself - boring his eyes into Payne's, sending accross some very dominant sparks.
"It's true angel, I don't take it lightly when someone badmouths people I care about dearly", Zayn explained and he could have joined Liam in the joking game, but he felt that for his point to come across, he needed to keep a firm tone and show what he is all about. The blond wanted to show his true colours to Liam and teach about his character, let the brunet close and get to know the real him, which was a chance many people weren't offered. "You're not just saying that to flatter me, right?", the 23-year-old teased with a playful grin and a wiggle of his brows, then shrugging mostly to himself. "Oh who am I kidding, I'll take what I can get for now - it means a lot to me, that I'm the one you want to be with, out of all these pretentious imbesills", Malik commented with a smile, which was quickly on its way to becoming a smug grin. "Don't worry about that love, with me, you will have to attend these things and you will get better at handling yourself and more confident about being left alone with people you need to pretend to like to keep our image", the almond eyed man explained softly, bringing his hand up to Liam's face, to gently stroke his cheek with his thumb, treating the brunet like precious cargo. Then the two were being photographed by the journalist that hadn't budged despite Zayn's warnings, wanting to get a complete story for his paper. Before Malik could react to Liam's words, he felt the brunet's lips against his cheek and a wave of goosebumps swept through him and left him speechless. It was only after the man left them alone that the blond was able to collect himself and come back, turning to look at Liam with an unfamiliar emotion apparent in his eyes. At the same time Liam pulled away and looked at him, obviously waiting for his verdict and he bit down on his bottom lip after being asked for a comment. "You did good love, don't worry about it", was all that the 23-year-old got out of his mouth, he was quite shaken by what just a little kiss on the cheek did to him, he was quite frankly screwed. "So should we go back inside or maybe get out of here?", the older male tried to joke, but his voice was quite srained and his laughter wasn't as natural as it could have been, Zayn didn't falter though, not wanting to make Payne question anything - he kept a smirk on his face and grabbed two champagne glasses from a passing waiter, frowning just for a second because why was a waiter so far back in the yard? Malik let the thoughts go though and offered the other glass to Liam, taking a sip from his own and humming pleased as the liquid relaxed him instantly.
