It's a Summer Fling

Chapter 20

Lauren's P.O.V.

It's been three days since we broke until Neil's house, slept on the beach, watched the sunrise and told Harry about Zayn and I. Nothing's changed, but I haven't had much time with Zayn. All the reharshing for the surprise concert Simon planned and Dinah's birthday in 2 days.

Sean had woken us up at 6 in the morning, made us take showers and dragged us to the café for breakfast. "You need as much enegry as possible today! The concert's tomorrow and if we don't have everything together who knows what Simon will do."

I grabbed a container of yogurt and a spoon, making my way to the other girls.

"So, Lauren did Luke ask you out yet?" Dinah smiled.

"No, and I told Camila to tell him I'm not interested. Besides I don't wanna miss your 17th birthday."

"No. No, you have to go on this date. I had a little chat with him last night. He's taking you out tonight that way you don't miss my birthday."

"Dinah.."

"She's right, you know." Camila said, "He really likes you. Just give him a chance."

"Listen, guys I appreciate you trying to set me up, but I'm just not attracted to Luke."

"Do it for me, please? You're going to make me sad." Dinah pouted.

"If you say yes you can get the first slice of cake." Ally smiled. "It's red velvet your favorite."

I groaned looking at my group of friends. They were begging me to go out with Luke but what would Zayn think? I told him not to worry about Luke that nothing would happen. Knowing these girls they were up to something. I should just say 'No, now can we move on?' But my lips worked faster than my brain ever could. "Okay fine. I'll do it but just once!"

God what did I just get myself into?

I had to think of a way to tell Zayn about this. The last thing we need right now is a big fight over Luke. So I do what always helps me think: grab my phone, headphones and a book. Make my way over to Zayn and I's tree and just relax until I think of something.

I saw a pair of sneakers in front of me, looking up slowly my eyes were met with Luke's. I pulled my headphones out of my ear. "Hey."

"Hi, I was starting to think you were ignoring me." He awkwardly chuckled.

"How come?"

"Well after I talked to Dinah about taking you out, you kinda seemed distance."

"I'm sorry, I didn't even know we had a date until a few hours ago." He stood there watching me. "Do you maybe want to sit down?"

He nodded, lowering himself down onto the patch of grass. "If you don't want to go on this date I understand."

"What makes you think I don't want to go? I am always up for a good adventure."

He looked at me, moving a little closer.  "Well I thought about where we could go for our date and I had the perfect idea."

"And what is this perfect idea?"

"I know you can't go anywhere that there might be paparazzi just incase they see us on our date and think you're 'cheating' on Zayn. So we're gonna go somewhere else, somewhere special."

"Any hints?" I asked interested on the setting of our date.

"Nope. You my friend are going to have to wait till tonight." He said getting up,"I'll pick you up at 8?"

"That's perfect." I nodded, putting the earbud back in. I waved watching him walk down the path back to the camp.

Zayn's P.O.V.

"A date?"

"A date." Lauren answered, sitting on the bed. "He's going to pick me up at 8." She patted the spot next to her, waiting for me to move.

"Lauren I don't know how I feel about this." I said, sitting next to her. She put her chin on my shoulder, rubbing my arm. "What if he tries something? Or something happens? We just got back together."

"Zayn, nothing bad is going to happen, okay? I can handle myself and if I really thought it was a bad idea don't you think I would've talked my way out of it." She kissed my cheek gently. "After Dinah's party I'm gonna tell Camila."

"Are you sure?" I asked turning my head around. "I don't want you to feel just because I'm worried about this date you have to rush and tell everyone about us."

"I'm positive. If I can get Camila done first I know I can get through the other girls."

I hesitated before kissing her lips, gently. "Okay. How long do we have till your date?"

"2 hours and a half. What are you thinking?" She smiled, moving to sit on Zayn's lap.

"How are we take a walk?"
