“Nice and private.” Zayn leaned down and whispered in your ear. You smiled. Zayn pulled your chair out for you and let you sit down. “Thanks.” you said. He nodded as he went to the other side of the table and took his seat. He took a look at the menu. After you both decided what you wanted to eat, Zayn started an interesting conversation. “So. Time for you and Niall talk!” he said happily. You rolled your eyes. “Ugh! Zayn!” you said. He shrugged his shoulders. “Oh, come on! I’m your bestfriend here! And besides, Niall is one of my great buddies! You’re not gonna let me in on your relationship?” he asked. You smiled at him. “Well what do you want to know?” you caved. Zayn thought for a moment. As he sipped his water. “Ahhh.” he said when he swallowed. You smirked. “Have you guys kissed yet?” he asked with a smile. Your heart stopped. You weren’t sure if you should tell Zayn or not. You didn’t want him to freak out in public. But you did anyways. You had to tell him sooner or later. “Yes.” you simply answered. Zayn’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped a little. All you did was look at him. “When?” he asked. The waitor came over to you guys to take your order. “Hi. I’m Kyle and I’ll be your server tonight. Are you ready to order?” Kyle asked. “Umm. Yeah, I’ll have the chicken parm.” Zayn said. “Chicken parm? Alright. And for you?” he asked you. “I’ll have the rigatoni pasta with red sauce.” you ordered. Kyle wrote it down. “Alright, I’ll be back shortly with your orders.” he said taking the menu from you both. “Thank you.” you said. Zayn nodded as he went off. You still didn’t answer the question. “Answer!” Zayn demanded. You jumped a little. “What?!” you asked. “Answer when you guys kissed!” You sighed. “The first time we kissed was when Niall was in the hospital.” you revealed. Zayn’s eyes got even wider than before. “What?!” he exclaimed. “Shhhhh!” you said calming him down. “You kissed at the hospital?! At the hospital?! You guys weren’t even dating then!” he continued on. You nodded. “I know! But we both knew that Niall had a thing for me and that I kind of had a thing for him! So he was right there and I kissed him.” you explained. Zayn calmed down. He sighed. “I just can’t believe you wouldn’t tell anyone. Especially me!” he said. “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to freak out on me! I didn’t want you to get all over protective and go after Niall or something.” you said. Zayn looked shocked. But then admitted it. “Alright, that’s a reasonable explaination.” he said. You nodded your head yes. “But you should’ve told me. You know you can tell me anything!” he said. You nodded again. “I know Zayn. I know.” you answered.
He smiled at you as he was playing with his hands. After a few more minutes the food came. All you did was talk about the band and how everything was going and such. About tour life, what the fans are like and other things. Zayn reached over to your plate and stole a bit of pasta. “Hey!” you comaplined. He smiled as he swallowed it. “Fine. Be like that.” you joked. He laughed. “Here, you want some?” he asked, offering you his dish. You leaned over the table and took a huge chunk of his chicken parm. “Hey! Wait not that much!” he said, bringing the dish back over to him. Too late. You placed it on your plate and gave him a little look. “Slick…” he said with a little evil eye. You laughed at him. Once your meal was finished, Zayn payed for the check, you went back out. You headed to your hotel. It was actually quite dark outside. You and Zayn walked hand in hand to your hotel. “You know babe, I’ve seen some cute stuff on Twitter.” he said as he opened the door. You stepped inside and plopped on the couch. Zayn locked the door behind him and followed you. “What do you mean?” you asked him. “I mean…” he started. “I mean that some fans make cute little collages of you and I together, or of you and Niall.” he told you. How cute. “Really?” you asked. He nodded. “Yeah! Check them out. I took some screenshots.” he said as he brang out his phone. You took a look at all of them and he was right. He must’ve had about fifty different collages fans made. There were some about you and Zayn being bestfriends and you and Niall being the “cutest couple ever.” You smiled at all of them. “How cute are they?” Zayn asked finishing showing you the last one. “Very.” you answered. Zayn chuckled. You brought out your phone to tweet. Zayn turned on the telly. You tweeted out “@zaynmalik and I are on vacation!! He just showed me some collages of us and @NiallOfficial, you guys are too cute!! :) Xxx” Almost immediately you got a tweet from Niall. You had a feeling he stalked your Twitter. “@_____ Collages?! I want to see them!! Please send me some!! Miss you!! :) <3” You decided to call him. “Zayn, I’m gonna call Niall.” you said, standing up. Zayn motioned you on. You dialed Niall’s number. He answered on the first ring. “Hello?” he asked.
“Hey babe.” you said. “Hey! How’s vacation?” he asked. “It’s giong great! Just came back from dinner. I see you got my tweet.” you said. You could hear him laughing through the phone. “Oh yeah! I was just searching for them. They’re incredible.” “I know right.” You heard him laugh again. “So anyways, when are you guys comming home?” he asked. “We have one more day here. Then we’re leaving the next morning.” you answered. “Cool.” he responded. “I miss you.” he said. You smiled. “I miss you too.” “Alright, well I’ll let you go.” he said. “Alright. Say hello to the boys and Eleanor and Danielle for me.” you told him. “Will do. Love you.” “Love you too babe.” He laughed again. “Bye.” “Bye.” You hung up your phone.You went back to the couch to find Zayn mesmorized in the movie “Ted.” He was laughing his head off. “Zayn!” you said. “What?! This teddy bear is so freaking funny!” he said. You laughed as you layed down next to him. He put an arm around you as you watched it with him. About an hour later you crashed. Zayn was still awake. Shockingly, he didn’t wake you from all the laughing he was doing. He yawned. “_____, are you tired?” he asked you. You didn’t answer. “_____?” he asked again, looking over at you. “Ahhhh..” he then said. He saw you were sleeping. He slowly picked you up in his arms and carried you to your bed. He placed you down gently, pulled back the covers, fixed your pillow and layed you down again, pulling the covers over you to keep you warm. He then kissed your forehead and stroked your hair. “Goodnight babe.” He kissed your forehead again. “I love you.” Zayn then, shut off the nightstand light and hopped into bed himself. He fell asleep with a smile on his face. Morning You woke up next morning, quite warm. You yawned and stretched. You didn’t remember going to bed the other night. “Zayn?” you asked, looking over at his bed. He was actually awake, just staring at you. “Oh gosh!” you said scared. He laughed a little. “Zayn, I don’t remember going to bed last night.” you said. “Cause you didn’t.” he said. You were confused. “You crashed about an hour into the movie. I didn’t wanna wake you, so I tucked you in.” he said. “Awwww, thanks babe.” you said. Zayn blushed. Zayn got up and started walking to the bathroom. “Wait.” you said. He stopped in his tracks and looked at you. “Yes?” he asked. “Why were you staring at me?” you asked, raising an eyebrow. He blushed a little more. “I was thinking how is it possible for someone to be so beautiful.” he answered. Zayn was so cute. All you did was smile. Zayn smiled as well as he went into the bathroom. You shot Niall a text. “Just woke up. Don’t know what the plans are for today. I’ll see you tomorrow morning :) Xxxx” You turned on the TV.
Zayn came out wihtin a few minutes, all ready to walk out the door. “Where we going today?” you asked. Zayn smiled. “We’re going to the zoo!” he said happily. At first you thought he was kidding. You laughed at him. “The zoo?! You’re kidding right?!” you asked. He shook his head. “Nope! You and I are going to the zoo!” he said. You laughed again. “What?! You don’t wanna go see some penguins?” he asked. You loved penguins. You used to be obsessed with them. “I guess so…” you said calmly. You actually really wanted to see them. “Alright pretty girl. Then get ready! We’ll grab something to eat on the way.” he said. You obeyed. You went into the bathroom. Washed your face, brushed your teeth, changed your outfit and pulled your hair into a messy bun. “You ready?” he asked as he shut off the TV. You nodded. “Alright, come on now love.” he said. You grabbed your phone and headed out the door. A text from Niall. “Awesome. Tell me what you’re doing when you find out okay? :) <3” You replied. “Zayn is taking me to the zoo to see some penguins!! :)” He answered “Realy? Zayn? The zoo? Penguins? Alright thennn… Have fun you two ;)” You smiled and put your phone away. Zayn took you to a quick little deli for breakfast. You and him both got a bacon and egg sandwhich. He called a cab. “City zoo please.” he said. “You got it.” the driver said. Zayn put an arm around you. You were full. “You want some?” you asked offering your sandwhich to him. He took a huge bite out of it and practically finished the whole thing. He smiled cheekily. “Have the rest.” you said handing it over to him. He ate it without hesitation. Maybe him and Niall were more alike then you thought. “City zoo.” the driver said as he pulled ot the main enterence. “Thanks.” Zayn said as he paid the man. You got out of the cab, followed by Zayn. Immediately attracting attention to yourselves. You thought cause this was the city, that no one would really bother you. You were wrong. No papparazzi, just loads of fangirls screaming, wanting an autograph or a picture. Zayn protectively, put his arm around you and held a tight grip on you, holding him close to his body. “Keep your head down.” you heard him tell you. You did as told as Zayn trudged through the sea of fans.
Luckily, he made it through all of them and into the zoo, where it was much more calm. “Wow.” he said once he got away. He let go of you as you took a deep breath. “Oh sorry!” he laughed. Zayn fixed your hair. He was practically sufficating you underneath the fans and his grip. “Anyways, come on. We better get to see loads of things as possibly before it gets realy crowded.” he said, grabbing your hand and running all over the place. Of course, loads of people recognized you guys but left you alone. You liked that. The whole day, you were at the zoo. You were looking at the lions, tigers, otters, polar bears, pandas, birds, turtles, any other mammal you coud think of. Zayn was taking many pictures of the animals. He was taking photos of you as well, along with photos he took of you and him together. You stopped at a little hot dog truck for lunch. Nothing fancy. When you got to the penguins you tried not to freak out. “Are you excited?” Zayn mocked as you approached the penguins. You elbowed him in the ribs. “Ow!” he complained. You and him took a look at the penguins together. “I don’t understand why you like them so much. I mean they’re pointless. The don’t do anything. They’re like bunnies.” he said. You laughed. “They’re cute Zayn! Just look at them!” you said. Zayn was paying close attention to them. “Yeah I guess.” he said after a while. You knew he liked penguins too but just didn’t want to admit it. Once you all saw everything, you were both very tired. You wanted to go back. Zayn grabbed a cab and ordered it back to the hotel. “So, was this a fun day for you? Everything good?” he asked. You nodded. “Yes it was! Thank you! Now let me see those pictures!” you said. Zayn handed you the camera as you both took a look. Zayn leaned his head against yours. He did take loads of pictures of the animals. He took loads of pictures of you as well. “I feel like a celebirty.” you said looking at all the pictures. Zayn laughed. “You’re like a model.” Zayn told you. You chuckled. The dirver pulled up to the hotel. “Thank you.” you thanked as you stepped out of the cab. “No problem.” the driver answered. Zayn shut the door behind him. “I say we get some room service for dinner.” he said as he put an arm around your shoulders and headed into the hotel. You walked inside and pressed the elevator button. “Sounds good. I’m beat. I don’t wanna go out again.” you answered. “Yeah, me neither.” The elevator picked you guys up and onto your floor. You walked to your room and Zayn opened the door, went to your beds and then picked up the line for room service. You kicked off your sneakers and layed down on the bed, turning on the telly again.
“What do you want?” he asked you. “Anything. You order for me.” He shrugged as he looked at the room service menu. “Hi, yes. I’d like the breakfast special delivered to room 401. Yes it is. Thank you very much. Alright. Bye.” he said. He ordered breakfast for dinner. “You had to go against the rules didn’t you?” you joked. He defended himself. “Hey! There is no rule saying you can’t have breakfast for dinner!” he said, grabbing the remote from you. You smirked. “You’re so far away. Come over here.” Zayn said, motioning for you to come onto his bed. You got off your and climbed onto his. You snuggled closely with him as you watched Long Island Medium. There was a knock on the door a few minutes later. “Oooohh. Foods here!” Zayn said, getting off the bed and going towards the door. Room service came in. The lady pushed the kart inbwtween the two beds “Breakfast special?” she asked. You nodded. “Yes.” you resonded. On the plates you saw scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, waffles, syrup and fresh fruit. “Thanks.” Zayn said tipping the lady. She walked out of the room and shut the door. Zayn just had to get breakfast food. You and him ended up eating everything. Well, in other words, he ended up eating everything. All you had was some eggs, and half a waffle. You ate the fruit while Zayn ate almost everything else. “Don’t complain to me when you have a stomach ache tomorrow morning.” you said. He smiled. “I won’t.” he said. He pushed the kart aside and continued to watch TV until you were getting sleepy.Within an hour or so, you went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. You texted Niall once more. “Zoo was awesome!! Just getting ready for bed. I’ll see you tomorrow morning :) Xxx” Zayn was tucking himself into bed. Niall texted back “Im so glad you got to see your penguins. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow!! We all miss you. Have a good night rest :) <3” You shut your phone off. “Goodnight babe.” Zayn said to you as he was about to shut off the light. “Night.” you responded. Zayn shut off the light and you were both out before you knew it. The next morning arrived. Zayn had to wake you up. You were catching an early train back home. “Come on babe.” Zayn’s voice said. He shook you a little. You moaned.
“Come on. We got to catch the train!” he said. You sighed, rubbed your eyes. But did as you were told. You said nothing. Zayn was clever and already packed all of your things for you besides your outfit. You were ready within minutes. “We’re gonna have to wait to get something to at til we get home. You can survive right?” he asked as you got out of the bathroom. You nodded as you started to wake up a little more. “Alright, come on. Let’s go.” he said. You went downstairs to check out. It was a nice stay together. A cab took you guys down to the station. When you got on board the train, you were all awake. You texted Niall “Just got on the train. We’ll be home within a few hours!!! :)” He responded “Great!! We missed you so much :) Xxx” Zayn yawned as he sat down next to you. “So, did you have fun this weekend?” he asked. You nodded. “So much. Thank you Zayn. This was really nice.” you said. He smiled. “Anything for you love.” he said as he kissed your forehead. You laughed as you leaned against him. Then you heard his stomach growl. “What was that?!” you asked him. “Ummm.. I kind of have a tummy ache.” Zayn admitted. Must’ve been from him scarfing down those waffles the other night. “I warned you.” was all you said to him. You faced the window, but knew he was smiling. You guys got back to the home station in well time. Zayn grabbed a cab and ordered to take you guys home. Within a few more minutes you were back at home.
“Home sweet home!” Zayn shouted as he got out of the cab. He grabbed your things from the trunk, paid the driver as you both walked over to the flat. “I’m sure they’ll be glad to see us again.” Zayn said as he was about to open the door. But he didn’t have to. Danielle came storming out of the flat right before Zayn laid his hand on the knob. “Woah!” Zayn screamed as he jumped back. Danielle looked furious. “Danielle?!” you yelled for her. She was walking away with anger. You’ve never seen her angry before. It was actually quite scary. She said nothing to you in response. Then Liam came running into the doorway. “Woah!” Zayn said again. “Fine! Go on then! Leave just like that! Who cares?!” Liam yelled after Danielle, still in the doorway. You never seen Liam yell either. That too was quite scary. “What’s going on!?” Zayn yelled over them. All you saw was Dani, drive way in her car. Without saying anything. Liam was taking deep breaths as he headed back into the house, not even acknowledging that you and Zayn were back. “Liam?” you asked him. You and Zayn went into the flat. Everyone was staring at him as he stormed into his room, slamming the door shut. You and Zayn both looked at eachother quite confused. “What’s going on?” you asked Harry, Niall, Louis and Eleanor who were all standing around you. They were watching the fight. Louis sighed. “Liam and Danielle broke up.”
