We've been together for almost three years now. He's still the love of my life, even after all this time. I don't know how we made it but somehow we did. We've managed to pay our bills and both get steady jobs. I work from home most days so I can cook and clean up but Zain, he's always in the office. It didn't used to be like this but I can't really complain. He's been making more which in the long run just helps us out. Maybe in the future with the extra money we'll be able to have a family.
I smile at the thought of little ones running around a new house all day.
We met in college through mutual friends. Nothing big. But I still remember the day he stole my heart.
Zain has always been skilled with the arts. Whether it be music or drawing you name it he could pull it off. Our flat is decorated with Malik originals. So naturally in our last year of uni when we first met he kept showing off for me. Always singing when I was around. Always writing songs. I miss that angelic voice so much.
One day after we had known each other for months he asked me to meet him in an alley. Obviously I asked if he had lost his mind. But he told me to trust him.
So I took a chance on him.
I showed up and there on a brick wall there were angel wings and a halo spray painted on. They were magnificent. And next to them was an overly excited golden eyed boy. Those eyes were filled with so much hope. He ushered me to stand in front if the wings to make them look as if there were my own me laughing the whole time, him sporting a fond smile. He then stood in front of me and suddenly looked nervous.
"So Niall we've known each other for a while now and I can still remember when I first saw you. When I first looked into those oceanic eyes and at that moment you had me captivated. You looked so angelic with the sun on that golden hair and I remember asking myself how someone could possibly be so, so perfect. And I knew, I knew in that moment I had to have you. I don't know how, or why, but I just, I just knew. I never thought that you'd go for someone like me but Lou finally pushed me to ask and finally take the chance. I don't want to lose you Ni, but I don't think I could stand not being able to call you mine any longer. So, would you, Niall Horan, go out on a date with me? Would you be my angel?"
But that was then.
And the world keeps turning and people change, things happen.
Since then we've been introduced to the real world. To bills, jobs, stress. But somehow we made it, we got through the rain and now we've got our rainbow. Our little makeshift rainbow.

It was around 7:30 now and I was waiting with dinner made. He was running late...again. But it was only half an hour, he probably ran into traffic. I can't help but think about the pre-promotion days when my baby used to get here at 5 every night. Sighing i mutter "Money is money," as I set up the plates about to eat without him but not having the heart to. So I just sat there staring at the plate in front of me.
{8:15}
At this point I'm about to forget dinner and just head to bed. I'm tired of worrying about him he hasn't answered anything, not my texts not my calls, nothing. I go lay down on the couch closing my eyes trying to did all of the terrible scenarios from my head.
{8:41}
I jolt awake to the slamming open of the front door.
"Zain?!?" I run over to the sound and see my boyfriend in the flesh, alive, not splattered in some sidewalk like I imagined. "Oh my god baby your okay where were you! I was about to lose my mind with worry! Why didn't you answer anything?" I say hugging the life out if him getting a limp arm around my back in return.
I pull away and give him a kiss trying to show him how happy I was that he was finally home but he just lazily returned it.
"What's for dinner?" He said walking away from me.
"Zain? What the hell! Aren't you going to tell me where you've been!"
"Work."
I scoffed at his bullshit answer, "You know what okay," I grabbed my plate filling it with food. "It's chicken you cunt. Cold chicken thanks to you."
"What are you on about huh? I was at work deal with it it comes with the promotion remember!"
"Yes I know. And I'm being as understanding as I possibly can. Can't you see that Zain! But you could at least call and tell me your alright! Instead of leaving me here worrying! Your over an hour late Zayn! That's ridiculous!"
"Niall your the one being ridiculous," he said warily.
"And your being an ass," I spit as I make my way to our bedroom with my dinner.
"Can't believe I waited for that ass..." I sniffled a single tear rolling down my cheek.
