Chapter 11

"Why did we let Jesy talk us into this?" Zayn said, as I fixed his shirt collar

"Cause we are good friends and she's really nervous!"

"Why must we be such good friends."

"Lucky I guess!" I said, poking him.

"Lucky my ass." He mumbled under his breath.

"I heard that!" Jesy said, coming into room.

"Sorry!" Zayn said.

"Perrie, are you sure that the carnival will be okay?"

"Yeah! Of course. I'll be fine."

"Okay, Leigh Ann has never been to a carnival before so I thought it was a good idea at the time."

"No, no it's great. Don't worry about me!"

"The goal is for you two to have a great time!"

"Okay." Jesy said smiling. "How do I look?"

"You look great, Jes."

"Thanks, Pez. I'm so nervous!

"Just to remember to breathe, Jesy." Zayn said.

"She already likes you so just be yourself."

"Okay."

"Are you two ready?" Zayn asked.

"Yes." I said.

"No...Yes. I don't know."Jesy said.

"It's going to be great!" I said. "like Zayn said, remember to breathe."

Jesy took a deep breath. "Okay. I'm ready."

We headed out the door and into Zayn car.

"Where are we meeting her?" Zayn asked, starting the car.

"At a small cafe called Cafe 12, it's an Italian restaurant." Jesy said.

"Okay, awesome." Zayn said.

" I think I've heard of that one." I said. "Sounds nice anyway,"

"Let me get it up on my navigator so we don't get lost." Zayn said.

"We better not get lost!" Jesy said.

"I"m just joking Jes. I actually know where that Cafe is. My mum use to take me when I was young. She always told me I was her favorite date."

"Awe, that's so sweet!" I told him.

"You're such a mumma's boy, Zayn" Jesy said,

"Nothing wrong with that." He said, sticking his tongue out at her.

We laughed. 

"Let's hit the road!" Jesy said.

"Yup, hasn't changed a bit." Zayn said, getting out of the car.

The cafe was a quaint little building. It kind of favored a cottage. It was cute.

"We are here a little early so let's go get our table. Leigh should be here soon"

The three of us headed into the building.

"Can we get a booth please?" Zayn asked.

"Sure. How many?" The waitress asked

"There will be four." Zayn said.

"Okay, there will be a ten minute wait, is that okay?"

"That's fine." Zayn said.

"Can I get a name?"
