Saving Grace

Chapter 4: Double Date

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. I was Zayn Malik's girlfriend. I rolled over and came face to face with the wall covered in 1D posters. It was creepy. I was a fan yes, but at least I never covered my walls in posters. Sure I reblogged photos, but that's just because they were good photos, or had a funny comment, and the fan fiction, well that was just FICTION I didn't actually think it would happen. Lacey, however, really believed that it was possible for one of them to fall in love with her. I guess I sounded a little hypocritical, what with my current situation with Zayn, but I was only 1 year younger than him, she was 6 and she was underage, I mean let’s get real here she didn't really have a chance. I checked my phone to see I had two texts. 

One from Zayn: GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY IM IN THE STUDIO ALL DAY BUT ILL TALK TO YOU TONIGHT? 

The other was from El: YOU'RE COMING OVER AND YOU'RE TELLING ME EVERYTHING!!!! 

I didn't bother responding to the one from Zayn he was probably already busy in the studio and I'd talk to him later. But I did respond to El's 

TELL ME WHEN 

I quickly got a response from her: NOW!! 

I hopped out of bed and got dressed before heading downstairs to find the house empty as it had been yesterday. I grabbed my purse and typed out a response to El saying that I would be there soon and rushed out the door. Ten minutes later I was knocking on her door. It flung open and I was yanked inside. 

"So? What happened?" She urged. 

"Oh my gosh it was perfect! He was such a gentleman opening doors for me; he even pulled out my chair at the restaurant!" I squealed. 

"Oh how sweet!" 

"I know right!" 

"OK OK so what else? what did you do? what did you talk about?" 

"Well we only went to dinner, but it was about three hours long because we talked so much. He told me a lot about his family and oh my gosh you should see the way his face lights up when he talk about his sisters, he's so sweet and you can tell he loves them a lot!" 

"Oh that's so sweet! So is he a good kisser?"  

"I wouldn't know...I don't have anyone to compare him to." 

"Oh my gosh he was your first kiss?" 

"Yeah...and now he's my first boyfriend!" 

"What!? Why did you wait to drop this bombshell? That should have been the first thing you mentioned when you walked in this door!" 

"Haha sorry!" 

"I’ll give you a pass this time!" She joked. "So how did he end up being your boyfriend like how did he ask?" 

"Ok well when he walked me to my door he was all like 'OK so this is the part where I spill my guts out to you and you do your best to understand the jumbled up mess that come out of my mouth' and then he went on to say how he really liked me because I was really down to earth and he knew we were moving fast but it felt right and that he really wanted me to be his girlfriend but if I didn't want to that was fine." 

"And you said? Well yes obviously but how?" 

"I said that I knew what he was talking about, that it just felt right. How I was comfortable around him when that was usually really hard for me so I would love to be his girlfriend." 

"That's really cute!" 

"Shit what time is it?" I said realizing I had lost track of time how long we'd been talking.
