Niall and Arielle stood embarrassed. Their cheeks flushed and lips swollen. They all just started laughing because two moments ago the mood was so heavy and once again it was all back to the normal them.

"What was that? "Gigi asked confused. Then the topic of Niall's crush came forward. No detail was left. It only made them blush more and more.

Gigi laughed but confirmed how beautiful they looked together.

Soon it was night, Harry suggested to have the dinner here. Arielle texted Nora that she'd be late.

As soon as Gigi went to talk to manager about food, Zayn collected them all.

"I have waited whole of my life to find a woman like her. I was waiting for these contracts to end so we could live peacefully. So, I messaged the manager asking for some fairy lights and decorations. So help me,  bitcheś before she comes, "Zayn rambled.

Louis just crossed his arm, "First show us the ring." Zayn chuckled but opened the Tiffany's box.

"That is the prettiest engagement ring I've ever seen! "Gin exclaimed

"That is the prettiest engagement ring I've ever seen! "Gin exclaimed.

"Come on guys, buckle up, "Liam teased. Louis hugged Zayn and they all started working. Niall and Arielle put the fairy lights all around the bushes. Arielle was secretively looking at Niall. They had been holding hands all night but no words were exchanged. Like there was nothing to be said. Everything was understood.

Louis and Harry quickly removed picnic mat and baskets and spread the satin sheets and pillows. Liam put the small table in mid while Gin put the bottle of champagne with two glasses there.

Zayn had changed into a light blue tux. Looking gorgeous as always.

They all hid behind the big ass rock which Gin and Arielle had discovered. Niall had his hand around Arielle's waist pulling her closer. Arielle was just smiling like a teenage girl whose crush said yes.

Gigi came but no one was their. She looked around and then Niall switched on the fairy lights revealing the decorations. She gasped at how beautiful it looked. The satin sheets had rose petals on them. The fairy lights were put in a way that it said 'I love you'.

Then Zayn came and gave his biggest smile. "I couldn't wait anymore, love. I have waited all my life for a woman like you. Not only you're an amazing mother to Khai but you've stood by my side all the time. You took care of me when I had anxiety or had one of my episodes. You always remembered to keep me fed in fear that my anorexia might kick in again. I have done nothing but be a burden to you. All you have done is love me to the core. Signed a contract without reading it much just to stay with me. I can't put into words how much I love you, Gigi Hadid. So, do the honor of being my wife. Will you marry me? "Zayn went on his knees. Gigi was in tears of happiness but also sadness that Zayn thought he was a burden to her. She went on her knees and said yes.

Zayn immediately put on the ring on her finger. Gigi kissed him and he kissed back. He pushed away the few strands of hair on her face, cupping her cheek. Their lips moved in sync like always but this time was more beautiful. It felt peaceful . When they broke the kiss, "You dumbass, you really think you're a burden to me. You are the only person, baba, who never judged me. You say you've done nothing but have you forgotten how you saved me from a drunk guy and that's how we met. You did everything to stay with me. Even go against Simon. You're too selfless to recognize how you help others. Yes, I remember to keep you fed and stay by your side during your episodes because if I lost you Zayn, I would've nothing in my life that would make sense, "Gigi said. They joined their forehead.

They stayed like that for a few minutes not caring about the world. Then they were sitting on the satin sheets while Zayn was teasing her how she was in shorts and a top while he was wearing a tux. She just replied by throwing petals at his face. They were strangled by a herd of homosapiens. All they heard was congratulations, congratulations and congratulations.

"Come on, guys. We should go. Zigi might need some time alone, "Harry said winking at them while lightly pushing all of them. And they newly engaged couple just blushed.

"But why? "Louis whined but Harry smacked his head.

He then just followed his husband's orders. They ate in silence in the cafe. Niall had held Arielle's hand under the table. They made sure to send the food for the couple outside. Harry threw his keys to Niall.

"Drive. Drop us to Lou's house, "Harry told but was cut off by Louis, "Our house. "

"Drop us to our house and drop Gin and Arielle to their place. Don't go to Arielle's place or if you do please use a condom, "Harry teased.

Niall just went red in the driving seat. The Niall Horan who would never stop talking was quiet. Who never was shy was actually shy.

He just started driving, dropping Larry in 20 minutes. He then reached their apartment in 30 minutes. Gin opened the door and walked in giving them their space. Niall got out and opened the door for Arielle. He held her hand as they walked near the entrance of the apartment.

"I want to do this properly. Will you go out on a date with me? Tomorrow? "Niall asked and Arielle just nodded her head in a yes.

She slowly stepped forward capturing his lips. This time was entirely different from the first time they kissed. It was slow and loving. Niall broke apart stating, "I wouldn't be able to control myself." Arielle couldn't too. He walked her inside .

Then was off in thin air. After the long, everlasting shower he took, he just dropped down on his bed. Remembering the first time he felt her I love you. It was when she didn't message for three days but then on the fourth day she messaged three I love youS for each day.

Niall smiled because maybe the captain was also getting a soulmate.

And I will steal us a car
And we will drive to the stars
I will give you the moon
It's the least I can do if you give me the chance
