Something Beautiful

Chapter Fifteen

ZAYNS POV

The flight was painless. All I could think about was what I was going to say when I saw her. I've heard this story before. The boy and girl both like each other but they're not together. This was just us and I didn't have a problem with it because I knew we were gonna be together in the next 24 hours. I felt like passing out as the plane hit the run way. I had no idea who was picking me up. I got my bags and waited in the seating area. I saw two familiar faces waiting by the gate.

"Hey Jerome, Hey Louis" I smiled, happy to see them

"Hey Zayn" they winked

"Oh I hate you guys"

"Seriously though. Delanis waiting for you at the boat. Let's go." They said. Crap she was waiting for me at the boat... I felt the pit in my stomach grow as we got closer to the docks. I missed the familiar boats and horrible smells of this place I call home. When they dropped me off it was no surprise that they drove away as fast as they could honking the horn. Louis was romantic when it came to Juliet but he was pretty immature with the guys if I might say so myself. I pulled my bags along the bumpy docks to the boat. I saw her standing on the end waiting for me. I froze as we stood at opposite sides of the platform. We stared for what seemed like forever, and I wanted to get this over with. I took the first step and I could literally feel the awlkwardness . I think she felt it too because she started laughing. I missed her laugh so much. I started laughing with her and everything felt good again. I walked up to her and she wrapped her arms around me. I held her in my arms for a while taking in her scent, it was one of juliets perfume. I pulled away finally and looked her in the eyes.

"We have a lot to talk about beautiful" I smiled

We walked to the boat and dropped my bags inside. I gave Don a hug and told him about America and how my sister was doing. He left and took the boat with him on his fishing trip, we had to have something for dinner. I decided to take Delani out for lunch where we could finnaly figure things out. It didn't feel awkward at all I felt calm, like it was meant to be. We placed our orders and awkwardly sat there. She was wearing one of the first dresses I ever bought her.

"So uhhm. That message you left me..." I started.

"I meant everything I said" she blurted out.

"I love how you get awkward" I smirked

"I love how you love everything about me" she winked. It was true.

I took her to the beach so we could be a little more private. We walked for a while then found a nice place to sit. We were at this beach pretty often. I remembered the song I hummed when we first came here, and when I first sang it I didn't think I'd be in this position but now, it could be our song. So I wanted to sing it. I wanted her to know how I felt.

"Do you hear me, talking to you,

Across the water, across the deep blue ocean,under the open sky oh my,

Baby I'm trying."

I looked at her. I knew she knew the song, cause she told me she looked it up after she heard me humming it.

"Boy I hear you, in my dreams,

I feel your whisper across the sea,

Keep you with me in my heart, you make it easier when life gets hard." She sang

All of our best moments so far were sung. We were on a roll so I looked her in the eyes and started the chorus.

" lucky I'm in love with my best friend,

Lucky to have been where I have been,

Lucky to be coming home again." I sang. She joined in for the oooooohs. This song was perfect for the moment. A song that had once meant nothing now described my life. I took her hands.

"They don't know how long it takes,

Waiting for a love like this,

Every time we say good bye,

I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for this, I promise you

I will" I sang. She was smiling like crazy.

"I also like your smile. I like the way you trip over your feet when you walk and crinckle your nose when you say something stupid. I love your super small feet and your really soft hands. I love your story, and the way you talk about your future. I love the freckles on your ears and the way your nose turns red when its cold. I love you and all your little things." I said, trying to be deep. She was blushing like crazy.

"My turn" she giggled.

" from the first time I saw you I loved your eyes. I love the way you like that nerdy museum and have a thing for this beach. I love how you helped me make friends and always compliment me on the craziest things. I love your hair and the way it looks effortless but handsome. I love how you bite your bottom lip when your embarrassed and how you saved my life that one day." She smiled, feeling confident. I smiled at her. Then I thought, its now or never.

"Delani, will you be my princess?" I asked, praying it wasn't to soon.

"Mhmm" she smiled kissing my cheek.

I held her hand and we lay there, not knowing how long it would last, but hoping it would last as long as we live, at least for me.
