Dared Love

Chapter 21

We entered an ice cream shop and waited in line. When it was out turn the perky employee asked for our orders. "what would you like?", she asked. "I would like cookies and cream please." "And you?", she said referring to Zayn. "I'd like chocolate ice cream."

"Anything else?",she asked. Zayn looked at me and I shook my head. "No that is all", he said. The lady gasped, "No sprinkles or nothing? That is not a fun ice cream you're having. How about you pick something exciting for your ice cream?", she asked not giving up. "No thank you, I'm allergic to the toppings", I said. "Oh, I'm sorry, your orders will be out soon", she said as she went to the back. "You're allergic?", Zayn asked. "Nope, I just wanted her to stop talking and get my ice cream", i said. Zayn shook his head , "you and your ice cream." I smiled. The lady came back with our orders and I reached for my money to pay. I looked up and saw the lady already giving Zayn his change. I grunted as he gave me my ice cream. We sat in a booth with Zayn on one side and I in the other. "Zayn, you don't have to pay for me." "It was nothing, I'll pay for you, it was my treat after all", he said. I sighed and said, "next time let me pay, okay?"

"Maybe or maybe not ", he smirked.

"Zayn", I whined. " "Marissa", he imitated me. I rolled my eyes. We started eating our ice cream. "So how does it feel like being the biggest boy band in the world?", I asked using my spoon as a mic. Zayn chuckled, "it's an amazing experience, and I'm happy to have my best 4 lads with me. It's all still new to us, but it's great, the fans are very supportive, and we are very thankful. We give them a massive thanks! Without them, we wouldn't be where we are", he said. " Wow, I can tell you really love them." "We love them all", he said. I asked him more about what has happened to him over the years. We were about to stand up and leave but Zayn stopped me. "Marissa you got a little something", he said pointing to the corner of my mouth. I grabbed the napkin holder which had a mirror like surface. I saw the chocolate stain and on the surface I saw a hand with a napkin wiping it off. I looked up to meet Zayn's gaze. This reminded me of the time i had chocolate left on my lip and he took it off of me.I blushed as he finished. "Thanks", I said. He nooded and stood up. I followed and he opened the door for me then we walked to a park.

" At the park, he started telling me more about himself and stories that happened to him. We sat on the bench. "Okay enough about me, what's happened to you?" " Nothing like your experience, Umm well after high school I entered the university and I'm studying psychology. I have a flat with Angela. Since school just ended, I'm here with you. I never thought I'd be going on tour with One Direction." "Well believe it cus it's true", Zayn said squeezing my hand gently letting me know it's real. "You never mentioned that your appearance changed", Zayn said. "You changed too." " Yea, but come on you look really beautiful, you were always beautiful, but now your stunning." "Haha, thanks, puberty did good for the both of us." "Hit us like a bus." We started laughing. We talked more and finally decided to head back. We walked next to each other and our fingers lightly brushed against each other.

We went inside the bus and saw everyone at the couch watching a movie. It was 7:30. Angela patted us to sit. I sat next to her and Zayn sat next to me. We watched pitch perfect. Oh how I love that movie. We laughed until it was finally over. It was time to go to bed and we all hugged each other and said goodnight. Angela pulled me in our room quickly and whispered, "so what's going on with you and Zayn? I see you went out with out us." "Well we talked out our problem and decided to start all over again. We're putting the past behind, and enjoying the future. We went to go get ice cream then went to a park." "Hmmmm sounds like a date to me", she said. "Haha no, we just wanted to get to know each other a little more." "Yea right", she playfully joked. "I'm gonna take a shower." "K k", she said while looking at her phone. I got my belongings and took a shower. After my shower Angela went to take hers. Once I saw her close the door I waited for the water to start running. Once it ran I quickly went over to my luggage. I searched for a book I was looking for. I brought books to read to keep me busy. I pulled out the small thin skinny dictionary (the one you can carry around anywhere and it came in handy) I flipped through the pages and finally saw it.
