Safe & Sound (Zayn Malik Fan-fic)

Chapter 23: This cant be Happening

The week of dates had started off well, and just was amazing in general.

I had the whole week fully planned out with dates, the first one being the best surprise. She had been at lost for words when I handed her the rose and asked her to accompany me on a date.

It was cheesy, but I knew we would have a good time and no one could really see who we were. It was perfect. We ended up in the bed of a truck, that a friend had let me borrow, filled with pillows, covers and some chips and drinks I knew she loved, at a drive in movie.

I honestly had never seen the movie being played, but she gasped and asked how I knew it was one of her top favorites. I had told her I honestly didn't know. She was so engrossed in the movie playing, softly whispering the actors' lines without missing a beat. I watched her for almost the whole movie. The soft light giving off a soft glow and she was breath taking my beautiful.

When the credits rolled on screen, she turned to me thanking me for the night and kissed me on the cheek.

The second date took place at home, where I made her dinner, and we talked softly over a candle lit dinner and dessert. She kept thanking me for the past two nights, tried to help me clear the dishes but I pushed her to the living room and that we could play a game or watch whatever movie she wanted.

She huffed but walked out of the kitchen and went to pick out a movie and game.

I finished with the dishes as quick as I could and dried my hands on the small towel in the kitchen. I padded through the kitchen and into the living room curious to see what she picked out.

I chuckled at what I saw.

She was sitting on the floor next to the coffee table with the board game life in the process of being set up and the menu for beauty and the beast on the TV screen.

We spent that night singing dancing and laughing. I had never seen her so happy or smile that much.

So when she curled up to me on our makeshift bed on the floor and fell asleep with a small smile on her face, I couldn't complain. I knew right then that this was where I wanted to be forever.

"I love you" I whispered into her hair as I fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Zayn this is beautiful" she whispered as she took a few steps ahead of me in the sand taking in the glow of the lanterns around the small table set up with a picnic blanket draped over it with a lantern in the middle of it. I didn't want her to have to struggle getting up and sitting down so I had Harry and Niall set this up for us a couple hours ago. I made sure it was somewhere no one would find us. But in case, I had two men from our security hidden a couple feet away from us.

I smiled as I watched her walk closer to the set up, her pant legs rolled up just above her ankles, her (but really it's mine) sweater on her arm and her hair blowing gently in the wind as she got closer to the small tent like shelter that was set up over the table. She ran her hand slowly over the fabric before turning to me with a big smile on her face.

"What did you bring to eat then?" She asked as she sat down on a chair and watched me set the basket down next to me as I sat down across from her.

"Well you've been craving so many things..." I said with a smirk and she watched me curiously as I pulled out the contents of the basket. Everything was either wrapped in foil or in a container. The only thing for we to see was the drink.

"You got me strawberry water?!" She asked surprised. I nodded and pushed it towards her.

"But how? I only got this in Mexico when I was little" she asked as she stared at in in pure shock. She still didn't believe it was in front of her.
