"Okay, enough." I said officially, crossing my arms over my chest.
Jamie jumped away from Niall, who was smirking at her. They had just been caught making out on the couch again — seriously, is that all they do? Jamie's cheeks formed a blush as she looked down at the ground, trying to hide it from the both of us. Raising a brow at Niall, I saw his gaze turn to me and a soft blush reach his cheeks.
"We're going on a double date tonight." I told them, not accepting an objection. "Niall, go back to your house with Zayn so Jamie and I can dress up and look hot enough to make you boys drool, alright?"
Niall nodded, grinning as he returned back to his cheeky self. "Aye! When will we be picking you two girls up? Around seven?"
I nodded. "Yes."
"Then I'll see you at seven." Niall said, turning to Jamie and offering a smile.
As he walked out of the room, Zayn squeezed the arm that was around my waist before pecking me on the lips, giving me a grin before he followed Niall out the door. Jamie looked up at me with sparkling eyes and a huge grin planted on her lips, telling me obviously that she liked my idea. I grinned secretively at her before walking out of the room and into the bathroom, hopping in the shower.
After my shower, Jamie got in and I went to my room to tear through my closet. A dress, I need a dress. Once I officially looked at every article of clothing, I snatched the perfect dress — a light purple/blue dress that ended a little more than a few inches above my knee. I tossed the dress onto my bed before walking over to my vanity and sitting down, drying my long hair before straightening it.
"Jamie!" I shouted, looking at my make-up while biting my lip.
A few minutes later, my best friend opened my door in a silk robe, her hair in curls. "Yeah?"
I gave a pointed look at my make-up. "Could you do my make-up? Whenever I do my own, I barely put any on. Make me look good."
"I thought this day would never come."
"Oh, shut up."
"Really, I'm honored!"
I rolled my eyes at my best friend as she snickered, walking over to me and beginning her work. Of course, I was a bit nervous when she brought out the eyelash curler and the eyeliner, but she knew exactly what she was doing — which was a relief on my part. When she was done, she clapped and I opened my eyes, traveling back to the mirror in satisfaction and a smile.
I had winged eyeliner, barely noticeable foundation, and perfect eyelashes. "Thanks, Jamie — you're a lifesaver!"
Jamie rolled her eyes. "Obviously."
With that, she left, leaving me to get dressed. After I slid the dress on, I picked out my favorite pair of shoes — other than my TOMS, of course - my grey wedges, that happened to go perfectly with the light grey clutch I was using as a bag. Glancing at the clock, I noticed there was only ten more minutes until the guys were back. We had only given ourselves an hour to get ready — we were basically making record time — so this was impressive.
When I was done stuffing my phone into the clutch bag, I stepped out of my bedroom just as Jamie was stepping out of hers. Together, we assessed one another's outfit — Jamie had on a pretty peach dress, black flats, and had her beautiful brown hair in curls. When we met each other's gaze, she gave me the same smile of approval that I had given her. Look at us; we were best friends about to go on a good double date together that didn't involve sleazy guys checking out other girls asses.
"If you told me that I would be going out on a double date with Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and my best friend about a year ago, I would have cried because it would've never happened." Jamie told me. "Now look at us."
I laughed. "Exactly what I was thinking. I'm glad you aren't fainting because of the small amount of distance you have between all five guys recently."
Jamie flashed me a grin. "I've matured, thank you very much."
"We'll see about that."
A knock from the door interrupted us. We shared a knowing look before I took the liberty of turning towards the front door, walking through the hallway and the kitchen to reach it. My hand grasped the doorknob as I opened it, Jamie right behind me to greet our dates for the evening. I don't think I could be ready for what was on the other side of the door even if I had prepared for it.
Zayn was standing there in a black suit, and let me tell you, he looked good. There was a small brush of stubble across his chin, but that only added to the whole bad-boy look he had going on. His brown eyes were raking up my body slowly as I glanced at his perfectly styled black hair, looking soft and actually making me want to run my fingers through it.
"Wow," He breathed. "You look gorgeous, love."
I smiled at him, semi-accidentally blurting out, "And you look fucking hot."
Zayn chuckled as I blushed. "That's my Rose."
"Are you guys ready to go?" Jamie asked from behind us, hand in hand with the blonde Irish boy who was still gazing at her face with a smile.
Zayn grasped my hand, lacing our fingers together as he answered, "Yeah, we're ready."
My boyfriend and I stepped out of the apartment as Niall and Jamie shut the door after themselves, walking a few steps behind us while we ventured down the hallway. Zayn took the hand he was holding and wrapped it around my shoulders instead, pulling me against his body as we stepped into the elevator.
"So," I said once we were all inside. "Where are we going on this date?"
The boys shared a knowing look.
Looks like it's a surprise.
"You'll know when we get there," Zayn said smoothly, kissing my temple reassuringly.
Jamie looked at me, shaking her head teasingly as I joined in. "Boys and their secrets," She said in mock-disapproval. "You never know anything anymore."
I nodded with a sigh. "The only thing they're good for is playing video games and demanding sandwiches, these days."
The guys laughed and it wasn't long until Jamie and I joined in. Once we were out of the elevator, the boys opened either side of the car doors as we slid in the back with a smile, excited for our suddenly planned fancy date. Zayn got into the driver seat while Niall slipped in the passenger, putting the radio on softly and claiming it was 'classy'.
Again, we shared a laugh and spoke easily with small talk until ten minutes later, we reached a park. The sun was now hidden by the dark sky, but around us, the outside was somewhat lightly illuminated from the rising stars as nighttime officially commenced. Zayn took my hand in his as he also carried a basket in his hand, Niall following behind with a plastic bag from the grocery store with something inside.
We stopped in the middle of the park, Niall taking the contents of the grocery bag out and laying a nice, big blanket down on the dewy grass. Jamie and I shared an impressed look as both boyfriends motioned for us to sit down, which we did, with our legs fashionably off to the side so our dresses were still covering everything. Zayn sat beside me and Niall sat beside Jamie as my own boyfriend opened the basket, taking out multiple food items.
"Wow," I said, thoroughly impressed as both boys grinned successfully at us. "You guys pulled a great picnic together with only an hour to do so. I'm impressed."
"As am I," Jamie added.
Niall chuckled, "What, have you two lost faith in us?"
"Well..."
"Shut up and eat."
I laughed, following Zayn's orders and taking a sandwich into my hands. Who knew these boys could actually plan out a date and not fail completely? After we ate, Jamie and Niall went for a walk, leaving Zayn and I alone on the blanket. I laid down on it, looking up at the night sky as stars scattered around beautifully. There was a soft hum of birds in the trees, rustling the leaves as they created a comfortable position.
"It's so pretty out tonight." I commented after Zayn laid down beside me, our sides touching.
His head turned towards me and I felt his big brown eyes staring at my face. "Only because you're out here."
I rolled my eyes, but smiled and turned my head to meet his gaze. "Cheesy."
"Nope, I think it was cute."
I laughed, my hand finding his. "Tonight was perfect."
Zayn grinned. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, love. It's the least I could do for you having so much patience with me when I was..."
After he trailed off, I gave him a weak smile, knowing that I had hated when he couldn't remember. But that didn't matter, because now my Zayn was back, and there was nothing that could take me away from him. No lies, no cheating, nothing.
"Thank you." He said. As I looked at him with confusion clouded in my eyes, he took a deep breath, looking up at the sky before deciding to elaborate. "We got in an awful accident together... an accident that we both were harmed from. Do you have any idea how much it means to me that you don't even care, Rosie? That you always just jump back into the car without hesitation when I'm driving?"
It was true.
"Because I trust you, and I don't blame you for what happened." I said softly, watching his penetrating gaze meet mine again.
He half-smiled at me, the seriousness still very much present in his eyes. "I love you."
I smiled back. "I love you, too."
