Idol (Zayn Malik)

Chapter sixty-six - She has a fucking cinema

Zayn's POV

Three weeks. Three hell weeks without Astrid. We finally had a week off, and it was Astrid's Thanksgiving break. I hopped on the 1D plane and headed to Tampa. Gratefully, no fan would know where I was heading. They all thought that I was naturally heading to England to be with my family, but what they didn't know is that I now had more important businesses.

The flight was nerves wrecking to say the least. I was really looking forward to seeing her, but I felt as if we were forgetting to plan too much. Also, I was more than nervous to meet her parents. She had told me that her mom would be chill, but it was her dad who worried me.

On the other hand, I was preoccupied that our whole trip would be ruined if the fans found out where she lived and stalked the hell out of us. I had no idea where Astrid lived by the way. All I knew was that Tampa was a pretty big city, and as she had told me that she lived around Tampa, it added a million more possible places.

"Zayn, we're landing." They told me and I responded shortly, making them understand that I had heard what they said.

Nerves.

How would it be?

Well, she said she'd pick me up.

Would her family come along? I hope not. I would be so awkward.

Hell, help!

As we finally landed, I took my suitcase in my hand and the guards accompanied me to pass migrations. I did it quickly, because there was no queue. They finally said goodbye and I started wandering around the terminal. They had told me that I had to take a sort of train shuttle that connected the terminal I was in, with the one that linked everyone to the real world. I made sure to put my shades on, just in case someone was to recognize me. The airport was star-shaped, which meant that every terminal circled the main one aka the real world one. It made me giggle a bit for no real reason, making me forget the nerves for a second. Before hopping on the train, I realized that I couldn't meet my girlfriend empty handed. I entered to a small store and walked around. I stopped as I saw a small stuffed penguin. As soon as I bought it, I saw the shuttle stop at the terminal, so I ran to chase it. I caught it and started riding it for what seemed an eternity, although it was a trip as short as half a minute.

When the train finally stopped and opened the doors, I walked for a short distance, when I felt someone hug me from behind. Without even thinking, I turned around and kissed her.

"I'm glad that you didn't do what I did to you!" I giggled and she did too. I looked around looking for any company.

No one was there.

Thank God.

I then handed her the penguin and she smiled beautifully.

"Oh my God, Zayno" She kissed me "It's beautiful"

"It looks like you" I joked and she chuckled. "I missed you".
