ZAYN'S POV

My conversation with Niall had had put my mind in a dubitable state. His blunt statements had evoked a sense of fear within me : the fear of losing Allana. Until now , I had never given a deep thought regarding the impediments our relationship would counter. Both of us had been too wrapped up in our cocoon of felicity to forsee predicaments the future held for us.

Would my feelings be a hindrance for her dreams ? Would being Zayn Malik's girlfriend diminish her personality ?

Go and chill with Niall , you will feel better bambi she had told me. 'Chilling' with Niall had worsened my headache. Why can't anything in my life remain lucid and simple permanently ? I wonder whether God introduces complexities in the lives of human beings only because he can enjoy a better show while munching on buttered popcorn.

" Zayn let's leave the car is waiting for us." Liam said moving towards the exit with Sophia clinging to his side.

There were two black Range Rovers which had been arranged to escort eight of us to an exotic Thai restaurant situated in the heart of Singapore.

Liam , Sophia , Harry, Paul and me were riding in one car whilst Louis , Eleanor , Niall , Lou and Lux were in another car. A team of nearly 20 security members were joining us for our safety and protection. They would riding separately in other cars a few ahead of us and a few behind us.

I could see Allana laughing with Meg the head of the security team , her laughter ringing in my ears making the imbroglio in my head disappear. The mere sight of her replaced the dark thoughts conquering my head by a silver light , the same light her eyes held which had attracted me in the first place. Our bond was strong and above the obstacles lying in our path. I was never gonna give up on her and if I knew Allana even a bit , she wouldn't give up on me either. Miss Francis and me needed to have a long and boring discussion but the important thing was we needed to be together. No more keeping each other out of the loop , no more jumping to disastrous conclusions.

Stepping out of the hotel exit Paul immediately rushed us into the cars to avoid being trampled by the hordes of fans and paparazzi awaiting our arrival. The piercing screams are blocked once we shut the doors and settle ourselves for the thirty minute ride to the restaurant.

Harry appeared to be lost in his thoughts gazing outside the window while Liam and Sophia whispered sweet-nothings to each other.

" Haz , tell me one of your knock-knock jokes. I haven't heard them for a long time." I tell Harry who eagerly complies to my request.

" I'll tell you a new one . Knock-Knock."

" Who's there ?" I say . Liam and Sophia have also turned their attention towards us.

" Lettuce." Harry says.

"Lettuce who ?" Sophia asks.

" Lettuce in and you'll find out." He says proudly gazing at us only to frown since nobody is laughing.

"And he keeps getting worse." Paul mumbles and we laugh.

" Now, that is offensive." He pouts like a little baby while Liam consoles him , " You are getting there buddy , almost there. Just work more hard on the punch line."
