Just a minute (A Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Overhearing, Confessions and Emptiness

*3 days later Ashley's POV*

"Girls please! Faster! We don't have the whole day." Louis screamed from outside.
"Oh heaven Lou! We're here." Eleanor replied giving all her bags to Louis who dumped them in the car. All of us followed and handed our bags to the boys. We sat inside the car.

Liam was driving the car, Sophia next to him, I, Zayn and Niall on the middle seat, Harry, Ellie, Lou, Eleanor and Perrie were sitting at the back with the bags.

"All are there?" Liam asked from the front. "Aye! Aye! Captain!" Niall replied, excitedly. "Let's gooo." Louis screamed that caused all of us to laugh. It was a 3 hour journey to Violet's house.

"Do you think we should really go?" Eleanor asked me, by now she and Perrie have become best friend. "Of course Els. Why you asking?" I asked her, she hesitated a bit, "Um..we haven't even met Violet and Tristan and we're going to their wedding. Bit awkward. I think only u, Harry, Zayn and Ellie should go." She replied biting her lip. "She's kinda right." Liam spoke up.

"No Liam! She isn't. You guys are my best friends okay? And it's nothing awkward if I call my best friends to my sister's wedding." I said to them.
"Yes, I will also call you guys to Ashley and Zayn's wedding. Whenever it takes place." Ellie said, everyone looked at us as we blushed, "Shut up Ellie." I scolded her while I went all red.

"Ahem ahem." Louis interrupted, "Means, we're going to the wedding?" He asked, "The Zashley wedding has time." Harry teased us, "Shut up Haz! Yes we're going to the wedding of Tristan and Violet." I said loudly.

An hour later, Niall spoke up, "I'm hungry." Liam turned back, "Anyone else is hungry?" He asked. "Me!" Eleanor, I, Sophia and Zayn said in unison. "Others?" He asked, "Yes." Louis said, "Cool! let's stop by that restaurant." He said and stopped the car in front of "New Change Food Joint".

"I want to use the washroom." Zayn said and went off to the washroom, a little later Harry too excused himself. (A/N: No dirty thoughts!)

*Zayn's POV*

"Hi man." Harry asked as he washed his face, "Hi." I replied, "What are your future plans?" He asked seriously, "Regarding?" I asked him, "You and Ash." He replied. "We're together. So?" I asked him.
"Exactly-" he said, I raised my eyebrows, "-Its been 5 years you're together. We're 24 now. I'm going to ask Ellie on the wedding day. When will you?" He asked me. "Ask what?" I asked, "For marriage!" He said in a dont-tell-me-you're-not-thinking-about-it tone. "Dude! Wow! Congratz!" I tried to hug him but he pushed me away.

"What about you two?" He asked me, "What about us?" I asked back, "When will you propose her?" He asked me. "Woah! Marriage! Why?" I replied, he gasped, "Zayn, because it's been five years, you both are doing good, you've grown up and it's time now." He replied, "She isn't ready. She might have told me." I said crossing my arms.
"Are you mad?" He asked, "Can't you see? See the light in her eyes when Violet tells her about her wedding and the proposal, the way she admires their pics. You know, I overheard her talking with Ellie day before yesterday that made me realize it's high time, Ellie is the one for me." He said. "What was she saying?" I asked him.
"I was going to Ellie's room when I heard them talking."

*Flashback* *Harry's POV*

"Man! Vi is getting married. Our sister! God!" Ellie said to Ashley, "Exactly." She replied taking out the dresses they bought, "Wait wait wait!" Ellie interrupted Ashley and took the peach gown she was holding. "Where did you get that from? It's beautiful!" She squealed. "Zayn gifted me." Ash smiled proudly, "Really? How sweet! He selected this for you! It's lovely." She put the dress back in the bag.
