"So.. How was you're kiss with Skylar?" Louis smirked, shoving my shoulder playfully.

I chuckled, shaking my head.

"Can't tell you, Lou. It's a secret." I sarcastically joked, dramatically opening my mouth with a gasp. Harry laughed behind me, throwing the rest of his freshly baked toast in the rubbish can.

"Too bad you guys didn't have se-"

"HARREH!" I shouted, swiftly turning on my heel and slapping him across the head.

He shrugged, placing his hand on the back of his neck.

"I think I want to take her out today.. Y'know, like skating or something. Isn't the Christmas party tonight?" I asked, finishing drenching butter on my toast. I brought it to my mouth, letting the toasty taste dance on my tongue. I closed my eyes, savouring the taste.

Louis shoved a spoon full of cereal in his mouth, little droplets of milk sliding down the side of his chin.

"It is tonight.. I think you should take her out. You should make it romantic." Louis stated, placing his bowl on the side of the counter. He took a blue pen out of the small pencil holder in the corner of the counter, and grabbed a white, sheer piece of paper.

"Look, how about we do this..." He started, smacking the pen down on the piece of white.

"Zayn, where are you taking me?"

She asked, tightening her grip around our interlocked fingers. She was only in her blue, Hollister jumper, and grey joggers. I couldn't help but stifle a laugh at her messy and disarrayed hair that was pulled back into a messy bun.

The streets in this small town of Texas were almost empty. It was the odd car that passed by, but no one really noticed. It was quiet, and quite icy and cold too.

"You'll see." I smirked, stroking my thumb across her delicate and ivory coloured skin. Goosebumps slowly formed on her knuckles, as she gripped my hand tighter.

"You know, Skylar, if you grip my hand even tighter it will fall off." I stated, pulling my hand out of her grasp to let blood flow through..

She rolled her blue orbs, scoffing my sarcastic statement. I chuckled, pulling her body closer to mine.

Any other person would say her body would be cold, but in my honest opinion, she kept my body warm. I could feel her smooth head radiate off her blue jumper as if it was the sun.

"Seriously, Zayn, what are we doing?" She questioned, planting a stern look across her beautiful and makeup free features.

I sighed dramatically, giving in.

"You always said you wanted to experience that .. Movie moment." I smiled genuinely, running my hair through my flattened strands of sleek black hair. She bit her lip, a light shade of crimson slowly making it's way to her cheekbones. She sniffled, rubbing her cold, pink nose with the palm of her left hand.

She locked her gaze with mine, as we now stood on the side walk of an empty street. I could see her eye glisten with what looked like tears, but it would've been the chilly weather.

Slowly but surely, she broke her stare and hesitantly nuzzled her head in the crook of my neck.

A small smile made it's way to my lips, the corners twitching and dying to curve upwards into a broad grin.

"Let's go!" I chirped, dragging her out onto the street. The sky was dark, and a nice shade of blue and black mixed together. I could see the stars burning in the sky, and for once on this tour, I wasn't being blinded by city lights.
