Something Beautiful

Chapter Eighteen

ZAYNS POV

She was still the beautiful girl I remembered, just with more makeup and longer hair. I felt almost awkward with her presence I do t know why. We stood there for the longest time just staring, remembering each others faces. Her eyes were still the shiniest, innocent eyes I had ever seen. Rebecca's were pretty too, but there were something about Delanis that comforted me.

"Hi" I barley managed.

"Hey"she smiled.

"Fancy seeing you here" I laughed

"Yeh, I see you want to be a superstar huh?" She smiled

"And you became a model" I replied.

"Yep." She said popping the P.

"Well I'd love to catch up, lunch at my place? My treat" I offered.

"Sure, I'd love too" she smiled

I was exited to have my best friend over for lunch. Besides a couple of emails, I hadn't really been updated. I wanted to tell her where my life had gone too. It had been such a long time. I went back to my place and put on a nice polo and a pair of skinny jeans. I combed my hair up into a quiff and brushed my teeth, not trying to impress her, but just so she doesn't think I can't take care of myself. Me being me, I can't cook, so I ordered some takeout and set the table. Shed be here any minute.

DELANIS POV

I was exited to meet up with zayn, it had been so long. Seeing him at the studio was almost like it was gods plan. I had missed him I'll be honest, we were such a good couple, but my life was heading in another direction. I wore a nice sundress and left my hair natural. I wore a lot more makeup now, but it wasn't full on smokey eye and caked on foundation. I still looked natural. I had Dani drive me to Zayns place and before I could knock, he opened the door and let me in. He had a lovely place.

"Very nice, do you live here on your own?" I asked.

"No I live here with my girlfriend, but she's out with her friends." He explained.

Even though I was engaged, the feeling of him being moved on still crushed me for some reason. We sat down at the table and I see he got takeout. I was so exited to finally have a meal where I didn't have to count protein or eat vegetables. I was going binge on everything he had purchased. I ate like crazy, not even embarrassed at how sloppily I was eating. Zayn just laughed. He still had that adorable British laugh I spent three years of my life with. After dinner I helped him clean up.

"Do you wanna go for a walk?" He asked

"If love too" I smiled

We left the house and started for the park. He told me about the competition he was entering. To enter you had to have a music video with your song playing along. The winner of the competition would get a record deal and a tour. I was so exited for him. I told him about all the traveling I got to do being a model, and all the stuff I had to do. Told him about where I lived but there was something important I was forgetting. It was sunset by the time we got tired. We sat underneath a tree and started to talk about all the things we did back in the UK. ITN was lovely bringing back those memories. His eyes were still big and brown, I was jealous of his eyelashes and how long they were. We must've beenstarong for a while because before I knew it he was leaning in. His lips pressed to mine. I wanted to kiss back but something was holding me back. I pushed away.

"I'm engaged" I blurted out.

His eyes god wide and almost looked angry. I could tell he was embarrassed. He had a girlfriend but I don't know what pushed him to kiss me.

"I'm sorry, I meant to tell you but..." I started. He started to cry a bit.

"I-i uhmmm" I started. He raised his hand and I threw my self back and his. Behind my arms. I peeked through my hands to see Zayn standing there shocked. He came forward and hugged me.

"Delani you may not be mine anymore, but I would never hurt you" he said while I shakes in his arms.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Zayn, it never came across" I said apoligetically.

We walked back to his house, it was dark now and Dani would be waiting for me outside his place. When we got to his door, I hugged him. I could see Danis car driving down the street towards the house. Without thinking I pressed my lips to Zayns and ran to the car. And with that I left.

ZAYNS POV

Before I kissed her I wasn't sure how I felt, but when we were at the park and I saw how fragile she still was, I knew I still loved her. She was my first real love and I don't know ifni could live with my self if I let her get away. Rebecca was downstairs. This was her house. She let me live here because we loved each other. My love was my house payment, and it wasn't fair if I stopped paying and stayed here for free. She came up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. She went in for a kiss but I curled my lips. She frowned.

"Rebecca I can't stay." I said

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Its not fair if I can pretend to love you and live here." I said

"I need to go" I said looking down.

"Okay. Go." She said. I was really happy she was cool and collected.

I grabbed myself and left. I didn't know if I was going to find Delani but I knew I still loved her. I'd stay at Nialls for now.

DELANIS POV.

It didn't hit me till this morning that I was soon to be married and I had kissed my best friend.I loved Tyler with... Almost... All my heart. But when I saw Zayn again for the first time in the studio, all the memories came back to me. Zayn and me could do anything together. We spent so much time together and with Tyler, we did lots together, and we loved each other, but something about it felt restricted and gave me that boxed in feeling. I was going back home tommorow. I'd probably forget this ever happened and get married. But was that what I wanted?
