Zayn's POV *4 days later*
"Hahahaha!" Ariana's laughter ran through my ears. I giggled too. We were in my hotel room and it was about 11:45 at night. We were snuggled up in bed.
"Oh look! It's 15 minutes until your birthday!" She leant over me and pointed at the alarm clock. "Zayn, you're 20 soon!" She pulled the sheets back over us. "Aren't you excited?"
"Well, my mum and sisters aren't gonna be here.." I looked down, sadly. "But, at least you're with me." I gave her a smile and she giggled.
"What do you want to do? Let me throw you a party!" She pleaded.
"No. No parties." It's not that I hate parties, it's just I don't like being the centre of attention. "Seriously, waking up with you then going out somewhere with the boys then falling asleep with you is all I want."
"But Zaaaayn. Your twenty!" She nuzzled her head into my neck.
"So? It's a normal birthday for me."
"Ugh fine." She moved over to her side of the bed and slumped into the pillows.
"Don't be mad at me." I turned and looked at her. "It's my birthday in about 11 minutes."
I saw a smile creep onto her lips. She kicked the covers off her. "Okay I'm not mad. It's just so hot and it's the middle of January AND we're in New York!"
"Yeah, it's hot." She was wearing my t-shirt. Why when a girl wears your clothes does it make her 100 times more sexier? She pulled me towards her.
"Stay here!" She ordered, jokingly.
"Okay bossy!" I giggled.
We just lay there, waiting for the clock to turn to midnight.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAYN!" The boys barged into my hotel room. Harry was holding a chocolate cake with twenty candles.
"You guys.." I was actually tearing up. This was really thoughtful.
"Hey, none of that crying business mister!" Ariana poked me arm.
"Come on, blow your candles out!" Niall said.
"Make a wish." Ariana whispered. And I did.
*about noon the same day*
"So, any plans for tonight with the Mrs?" Louis asked me. You'd think, being the hilarious monkey child that he is, that Louis was the most immature person ever. But seriously, he gives the best advice and is great to talk to.
"Dunno, might get a movie and a pizza." Me and the lads went to play lazer-tag for my birthday. Yep, were all mostly adults and playing lazer-tag. I didn't want to go clubbing because we'd all be a drunken mess and I didn't want Ariana to see that.
"Really? Why don't you go out somewhere?"
"And get chased by paps? No way."
"You took her to the museum and a restaurant the other day."
"But nobody saw us!"
"And they won't see you today!"
"Ugh fine! What do we do?"
"Take her to the theatre."
"To see what?"
"Wreck-it Ralph!"
"Louis.."
"Seriously! You guys have been dating for about a week. She'll thank you for not boring her with a shitty romantic comedy!"
