I'd run through the desert, I'd walk through the rain.Get you into trouble, and take all the blame. I'd paint you a picture, write you a song. And I'd do it all over if I did it all wrong

Zoe's POV-

Luke stands shirtless in front of the cooker, flipping a pancake as I sit on a stool, scrolling through my Instagram feed.

"Luke, are your sure you don't want me to cook?"

"No, Zoe, it's our anniversary, I wanna do something special for you."

Sighing, I smile. "Babe-"

The sound of the door unlocking and footsteps leading into the kitchen stops me, and I look up to the smile of my best friend.

"Karlie! Where've you been?" I get up and pull her into my arms.

Karlie has been my best friend for over 2 years now, I met her at a photo shoot in Australia and ever since then we've been close. She's been there when I needed her, and I'm so grateful to have somebody like her in my life. We bought this apartment together, around a year ago, but these days she's been at her boyfriend's house.

"I told you that I was gonna spend the night at Josh's." She says, "It's your anniversary and I wanted you to have some alone time with Luke."

I roll my eyes at her. "Why are you back then?"

"I forgot my flavoured condoms.." She whispers to me, trying to avoid Luke hearing.

"I have some flavoured condoms, Karlie. I'm sure Zoe won't mind you borrowing them." Luke winks at me, and I hide my face in embarrassment.

Karlie laughs at me as walks out the kitchen, probably to my room.

"Lukeee, I was saving them for us-"

He laughs and pulls me into his arms.

"Relax, they're expired anyway." He whispers against the crook of my neck.

"Luke! Oh my God, wha--" Luke stops me by putting his lips against mine, making my heart beat faster. I hear the sound of the front door closing, realising Karlie had already left.

***********************************

"Luke, do you know where we're going?"

"Yeah.. hold on" He pulls over, and helps me out of the car, taking my hand into his. Luke leads me up a flight of stairs and pushes a door open for me. I look around, realising we're on the rooftop of Pizza Hut. Letting go of Luke's hand I look around, seeing a blanket and a little basket is on the floor, candles surronding it. Walking to the edge on the rooftop, I look at the busy city and the thousands of lights.

Familar arms wrap themselves around my waist, as I feel his face touching my cheek. I turn around and look at him, a small smile playing on his face.

"Do you like it?" He bites his lip, waiting for my reply.

"Luke, this is amazing."

I kiss his cheek and he laughs, pleased with himself. Taking my hand, he shows me to the blanket, and we lie down together, my head laying on his chest. I look up at the pale moon, and feel Luke touching my head, realising he's braiding my hair.

I met Luke and the boys at one of my photoshoots for Vogue, and we started dating a little bit after that. He's turned my life around, and is the reason I wake up every day with a smile on my face. He's left a permanent mark, I can't even imagine my life without him anymore. But the one thing Luke doesn't know about is my past.

"You want to eat, Zoe?" His voice awakens me from my train of thoughts.

"Yeah, okay." Pushing myself off of his lap, I place my hands on my head feeling the braid fall down past my shoulders.

"I'm going to go down, get the food, okay?" He said, pushing himself off the ground.

"You want me to come with you,?" I ask, letting go of my hair and looking up at him.

"No, its fine Zoe. I'm gonna be back quick. Just stay here and enjoy the view, okay?" Nodding my head, he kisses my cheek before turning on his heels and walking away.

As soon as he's out of sight, I stand up and walk back to the edge of the rooftop, taking in the captivating view once again. I smile, feeling the cool wind on my face, before looking back down, my eyes recognizing big black cars and men with cameras.

How did they know Luke was here?

Luke's POV-

I run down the steps, and walk into the warm pizzeria. The sight of paparazzi and screaming teenage girls catches my eye, making me bow my head down and slip on my sunglasses.

I walk to one of the co-workers, John, who helped me organize this for Zoe. "Dude, how do they know I'm here? I told you to keep it a sec-" I say before getting cut off.

"Nah bro, it's not for you. It's for them." John says, pointing over to a guy dressed head to toe in black with a tall brunette on his arm, both of them trying to keep their faces covered.

"Who are they?- Wait, it doesn't matter, just make sure the paps don't know I'm here."

I tell John my order, and tell him to bring it up when it's ready, before leaving. I try and stay hidden, camera flashes and screams coming from the papparzzi.

"Harry! Kendall, over here!"

"Oh my God! Harry Styles! Oh my God!"

"Over here! Over here!"

"Can we have a few words?"

"Kendall!"

I watch the couple approach John as I turn to leave, before feeling a small hand grip my shoulder.

"Luke Hemmings, M'right? Big fan." The tall brunette slurs at me. I look at the girl in confusion, wasn't she just with a date?

"Uh, thanks." I mumble, trying to ignore her hand on my shoulder.

"Kendall Jenner, I'm sure you know who I am. " She introduces, sliding her hand up and down my arm.

"No, I don't. Excuse me." I mutter before shrugging off her hand and running back up the stairs.

When I reach the top my eyes immediately draw to Zoe. Obviously hearing me coming up the stairs, she turns around and faces me.

Her beautiful hair was resting on her shoulder, and she looks amazing in a knee length blue dress, but what caught my attention was her smile, her infectious smile, which makes me smile too, like it's done many times before.

I take several steps towards her as she mirrors my movements until we are standing face to face, my eyes scanning hers.

"You're so beautiful" I whisper, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She bites her lips as my eyes flicker back and forth between her lips and her eyes.

My hands grip her hips as her arms wrap around my neck, our lips connecting.
