You were walking through the city of London, enjoying the sites and the english atmosphere. To your surprise, someone accidentally bumped into you hard as you rounded a corner. The force was so hard you ended up falling backwards onto your rear.

"Ohmygosh, I am so sorry!" you heard someone exclaim. You looked up and saw a boy with dark brown hair and dreamy eyes looking at you. He seemed very familiar but you couldn't place your finger on how you knew him. His sweatshirt partly hid your full view of his face but after a moment of thought, the realization struck you. They belonged to no other than Zayn Malik. The famous member of the band One Direction. He extended his hand to help you back up and you shyly took it.

"Are you hurt?" he quickly asked you with concern, his head cocking to one side.

"No, I'm fine. Thanks," you mutter and began to walk away because you were embarassed that someone like Zayn Malik was worried about you. 

"Are you sure?" he asked a moment later, catching up and walking beside you.

You nod, growing self concious from his presence. 

"I'm Zayn by the way," he said, politely extending his hand for you to shake. You return the polite gesture but only left your hands touching for a split second.

You say your name quietly after a moment, still not meeting his gaze.

"That's a nice name," Zayn complimented, making you grin just ever so slightly. "Why are you looking down?"

"Thanks... And because... I'm embarrassed to be talking to you..." you explained, your cheeks beginning to glow pink.

"Why?" Zayn asked in a quiet tone.

"Well, you're Zayn Malik. You're a famous guy... And I didn't think that I would ever be able to speak to you, but I am... And it's just... I feel like I am not worthy to be here right now," you stammer, quickening your steps out of nervousness.

"Hey..." Zayn said, placing a hand on your sholder to make you stop and turn towards him. You felt his warm hand on your shoulder and somehow it was comforting even though you were in shock. It leaves but you feel your face being tilted up gently so he can look into your eyes and you, him.

"I don't care if I'm famous or not, that doesn't matter," Zayn said and you watch as one side of his lips curved up gently. "But I want to let you know that you are worthy to be here with me even though I knocked you down." He chuckles nervously. "I really think that you’re sweet and pretty.”

Tears clouded your eyes when you heard Zayn speak. “Do you really think I am?” you asked, “No one has ever said that to me before…”

“Truly…” Zayn said, pulling you into a hug when he realized how much that meant to you. You smiled as a small tear escaped your eye and let Zayn hold you. It just felt good to know that you were wanted by someone in life. Any past depressed feelings were overcome by his sweet gesture.

"You okay?" Zayn's words rumbled through his chest as you leaned on him.

You break away, wiping your cheek. "Yeah," you breathe, a small laugh escaping your lips. 

The boy in front of you grins sincerely.

“So… What are you doing today?” Zayn asked, slowly walking with you again along the street.

“Oh, nothing much…” you responded.

“Want to go somewhere fun?” he asked cheerfully.

“Sure!”

Zayn led you to a nearby animal store and soon you both were busy with holding the cutest puppies and kittens. 

*A year later* 

“Love?”

“Yeah, Zayn?” you respond. You both are sitting together on a hill in the night looking up at the stars, your knees leaning together.

“I love you…” He said looking at you in the eyes.

“I love you too…” you whispered in reply, intertwining your hand with his between you both.

Truly you both did, with all your heart. Zayn was always there for you for as long as you could remember. Ever since you two met, Zayn was the one that you could bring troubles to and he did his best to comfort you. And same for you to him. Life was difficult but somehow you managed to make it through the tough times. It wasn’t surprising that several years later, Zayn asked you to marry him and you spent the rest of your wonderful life together with your beautiful children.
