Happily Ever After (ZARRY AU)

PROLOGUE

Zayn's nervously shaking.

This is the day that he'll ask his boyfriend of 3 years to Marry him. Everything was in place, the venue, the food, the ring, the only missing is his courage and strength to ask Harry.

"Oh come Zayn! Man up! Relax! This is the day!" Niall said, Zayn's bestest friend in the whole world. He's the owner of the restaurant that Zayn is at right now.

Zayn smiled at Niall "Yes! I can do this Ni. I can do this" Zayn said as Niall patted his shoulder "That's right! You've been preparing for this for a year now. You can do this. Just take a deep.......breath" Niall suggested as Zayn did what Niall told him and he exhaled.

Zayn smiled at Niall "Thanks Ni" Zayn said as Niall smiled "No problem buddy" he said. And after their talk, Niall take hold of his earpiece on his ear, listening and then he look at Zayn "Show time" he smiled as Zayn nodded and took another deep breath and exhaled.

Zayn waited for Harry at the center of the whole restaurant.

The people are less because it's a weekday and Zayn is thankful that it is because he hated crowds. As Niall left, Zayn's now preparing to meet Harry. And when Harry went inside, Zayn's heart beat quickened seeing his beautiful boyfriend wearing a simple white silky polo, three buttons opened from the top to expose Harry's chest and his bird tattoos, matched with his black tight skinny jeans that are hugging his long legs and of course, his black boots.

Harry is all smile when he saw Zayn, waiting for him at their table. As Harry reached their table, Zayn stood and led him to his sit, opposite to him "Hey Babe" Harry greeted as he kissed Zayn's lips and sat at the chair that Zayn held out for him.

Zayn then smiled and went back to his seat "Wow, we're having something special today? It's a weekday but we're having candle light dinner?" Harry said as he chuckled and Zayn just gave out an awkward laugh.

Harry looked at him suspiciously "What's wrong Zaynie?" Harry asked concerned as Zayn stared at his green eyes "What?" Zayn naively asked "You're not your usual self?" Harry raised his brow as Zayn gulped.

Usually, Zayn's the cheery one on their relationship but not this time "I'm fine" Zayn answered as Harry take hold of his hand from the table "Trouble at work?" Harry sweetly asked as Zayn smiled and shake his head "Everything's perfect, love" Zayn answered as Harry let go of his hand and smiled back, grabbing the napkin and placing it on his lap.

Niall then came to view "Good evening Sirs, today, we've prepared a special meal for you two" Niall smiled as Harry chuckled "Niall! What a surprise, you're our server for tonight?" Harry asked as Niall grinned at him "Yes I am Sir Styles. First, let's start with wine shall we?" Niall then snapped his fingers and a waiter instantly appeared and poured them red wine "Château Margaux red wine. Your appetizers will be served in a while" Niall smiled as Zayn thanked him and left.

Harry looked at Zayn "Even the wine's special. I wonder what you're up to Mr Malik" Harry said as he sip his wine. Zayn just smiled and sipped his wine in silence.

The appetizers are now served as Zayn and Harry dig in and talk about stuff at work.

Zayn has his own art company that caters Mural paintings, interior designing and portrait sketching while Harry works as a real estate agent from his father's company "And yeah, I missed doing this with you Zaynie" Harry smiled as Zayn agrees.

Lately, both of them are busy with their work that they barely see each other. But this time, Zayn will make sure that he'll spend the rest of his life with Harry. The main courses of the meal are served as the couple continued to eat and talked.

Zayn's really looking forward to the dessert. And when Niall served them their lava cakes for dessert, Zayn's all nervous again. Zayn told Niall to stuffed the Ring inside the lava cake. And when Niall put their cakes, Harry is all smiles "Oooh lava cake! My fave!" Harry's eyes sparkled as he grabbed the small spoon and dug in.

Zayn prays that Harry won't eat the ring.

As Harry is happy digging in his lava cake, he noticed that there's something hard just hit the tip of the small spoon. Harry tilted his head to the side as he hit it again. Then scooped it up and saw a silver ring. Harry gasped and that's the cue for Zayn to kneel.

He stood and went to Harry and take his hand. Harry's eyes widened seeing Zayn kneeling with one knee "Harreh, we've been together for 3 years and 4 months. And those years, I've been so happy. But tonight, will you make me the happiest man on the entire universe? Will you marry me?" Zayn asked looking straight at Harry's eyes.

Harry's eyes waters and he smiled widely with his dimples out "Of course Zayn! I love you! Yes! Yes!" Harry answered as Zayn's heart beat fast, he said Yes! Zayn grabbed the ring from the spoon and wiped it with wet tissue that Niall prepared and inserted the ring on Harry's left ring finger. And After that, Zayn stood and hugged Harry so tight whispering "I love you Harreh"

And Zayn was indeed that happiest man that night.
