Ashley's pov:

We were now at Lea's place for my dress. It was night time and if I'm accurate, the ball has probably started thirty minutes ago. I've never really liked arriving early at parties, I always like arriving one hour or so later.

We were in Lea's room and she was helping me with my dress while Zayn was with Josh in the other room, as they were also getting ready to go to the ball with us

"Arghh do we really have to go?",I asked annoyingly
"Yes!", Lea said
I sighed defeateadly
"So tell me about Zayn..",Lea uttered with a huge grin plastered on her face,"you guys have been hanging out a lot for the past three months",she added
"We work together, of course we will be together a couple of times",I said
"But you guys kiss all the time",Lea said
"Point of correction, Zayn and Ashley don't kiss, Fatima and Noah kiss",I said immediately
"Still the same thing", she shrugged
"Nope. It's not",I replied
"If you say so Ms Fatima, oops I mean Ashley",Lea said teasingly
I just rolled my eyes

"So who are you going with to the ball?", I asked Lea curiously. I'm going with Zayn for business' sake, but I have never heard Lea talk about her date to the ball
"Well it's a surprise", she said finally opening door

We went out of her room and I saw Zayn wearing a tuxedo.
He looked so hot, I could feel my heart melt

He walked towards me and Lea suddenly left my side

"You look gorgeous",he said
"I know, I always look gorgeous, it's in my genes", I said with a sassy tone, and Zayn just smirked
"May I?", Zayn said, asking for my hand
"You shall", I replied with a smirk

We went to our car. Lea and Josh took a different car with them. I hope Lea is not trying to play cupid with me and Zayn

---------

We had reached the location after a fourty-five minutes long drive.

As soon as Zayn parked our car, he jumped out and opened the door for me.
"Princess treatment huh?",I smirked
"You are not even a princess, so why should I give you the princess treatment"
"Ouch",I pouted
"Fine let me rephrase..", he rolled his eyes, "you are not a princess, you are a queen", he said
"That's better",I gave him a slight smile
"Let's hurry up, people are already inside, and Josh and Lea have already arrived", he said

I wrapped my arm around his, and the huge door opened for us

I felt everyone's gazes. I tried smiling, but I was shaking, and Zayn must have felt my hand shaking
"Don't worry, the men are admiring your beauty, the ladies are just jealous", Zayn uttered

I genuinely smiled at his statement, and started feeling less shakier
