Moments

Never.

Zayn: 

Mindy and I have a sturdy relationship. We've even talked about marriage and kids. We both want it. She made me feel better in the matter of seconds just by looking at her. The way her milk chocolate colored hair flows off her shoulders, the way she crinkles her nose up, her laugh, her smile, and just everything about her made me feel like I've fallen in love again. No matter what happens to us, I will always be there supporting and loving her.

"Zayn!" Niall's voiced boomed through the flat. 

"I'm in the kitchen!" I sat on a bar stool, surfing the internet. 

"What's going on mate?" He placed a magazine infront of me. 

'Is One Direction's Zayn Malik sleeping around?! See page 47 for more details!'  

"The fuck is this shit?!" I was furious, but yet scared of what Mindy would think.  

"Who's the chick?" Niall pointed at the girl that I was supposedly cheating on with Mindy. 

"I-I don't know." I was quite surprised myself. 

"Well, I gotta go. Miranda just texted me about lunch. Do you wanna join?" He slipped his phone back into his pocket. 

"Um, yeah. Sure, I'll be there a little later. I have to go pick Mindy up from work."  

"Alright, see you later." Niall left the flat.

I flipped through the magazine, looking for my article. I recognized the picture and the girl. This photo was taken before I started to date Mindy. All these memories flooded back.

|| It was a night out with the boys. We were at the club haing a couple of drinks, but I had too much. This girl. I danced with her once and she stuck by me the whole night. "Zayn, baby." The young lady whispered into my ear. "Let's go somewhere more private so we can have some fun." She giggled. I was dragged outside and that's when it happened. Our lips were pressed against each other. ||

I forgot what happened next. My phone vibrated. A text message from 'Baby Doll. ♥'. I opened it up.

"Zayn! :) Miranda was wondering if you wanna go to lunch?" 

"Sure, babe. Let me get ready real quick and I'll pick you up. x" 

"Okay. See you soon. ♥" 

"♥"

At the moment, I was only in some pajama pants. My bedroom was suddenly filled with luminous light as I opened the blinds. It was sunny and just a glorious day. I quickly showered and got ready.

I drove up to the studio that Mindy worked at. She normally walks, though it'd be much quicker if she drove. I walked through the front, like always. The receptionist knew who I was, so I just strolled on in. 'Mindy, Mindy, Mindy,' was all I thought about as I was trying to find her office. As I opened her door, there she was with her back to me looking over the season's pieces. I gently closed the door behind me.

"Hey, baby." I wrapped my arms around her torso. 

"Hey." She smiled.  

"You ready yet?"  

"Not quite. Could you call Sandy and tell her to bring the models in?" Sandy was an intern. 

"Sure." I went outside and did as I was told.

Soon models were strolling in. Mindy placed items of clothing in their hands and told them to quickly change in the backroom. The pieces were stunning as the models finished walking out. From the delicate gold designs to the bold colors. Soon enough, she was done choosing the outfits and we were on our way to meet up with Niall and Miranda.

"So did you tell her yet?" Niall leaned over to whisper in my ear, as Mindy and Miranda were conversing. 

"No, maybe tonight." My hands tightened together from all the pressure. 

"Dude, don't worry. She'll understand and she knows you well enough to believe you." Niall was right.

Mindy knew me like the back of her hand. She was everything to me and I was everything to her. If there was one slip up in our relationship, we'd work things out. No matter what. We never gave up on each other and we never will.

Lunch passed by quickly and Mindy decided to go back to work. I dropped her off and made my way back home.

A couple of hours passed by and it was time for me to make dinner. I just made a simple spaghetti dinner for just the two of us. I set up the dinner table like always. A couple of roses in a vase that centered the table and a few candles that surrounded the flowers. I put placemats and silverware at each of the table. Soon Mindy came in throwing her belongings on the sofa. I greeted her with a hug and kiss.

"Smells good in here, babe." She smiled. 

"Well, tonight we're having spaghetti." I kissed her once again. Her lips were soft and plump. 

"Is it ready yet?" Mindy headed towards the kitchen. 

"Yes. Go sit down and I'll get things situated." I motioned her out of the kitchen and into the dinning room. 

"Alrighty!"

I grabbed two plates and put the spaghetti on them and poured the sauced on top. As I walked out, Mindy was admiring the sunset through the window. I placed the plate in front of her and she turned around.

"Looks delicious." She sat down. 

"Let's see how it tastes." I smiled at her.

We ate dinner in peace until I decided to show her the article. I slid the article to her and she stopped eating. She sat there blank and still.

"Mindy?" No response. 

"Whe- Who-" She was heart broken. 

"This was taken before we were dating, before I met you. I don't see how they got this picture. Please believe me. I didn't want you to hear it from anyone else." I spoke. 

"Okay." She whispered.

I got up from my seat and headed towards her. She still sat there looking down at the article motionless. I knelt beside her reassuring her that it this was all a lie.

"Please believe me." I took her hands in mine and she looked at me with her piercing eyes. 

"I do." She smiled through the pain.

I stood up, as did she. We looked each other in the eyes intensely. Suddenly I felt her arms around me. I knew that this would hurt her more than me. But I knew that she was stronger than me.

"I love you never forget that. Never." I whispered into her hair. 

"Never." She whispered back.
