15. Surprises

Deepika was seated on the couch facing the television, as she surfed through the channels. Zayn stepped into their room holding his phone against his cheek. He gave her a disapproving look, even though she wouldn't be able to see it.

"Listen, I need to go." Zayn sighed as he spoke into the phone and then put it away. He made his way to the couch and plopped down beside his girlfriend. "Hi."

"Hey." Deepika replied without taking her eyes off the screen.

Annoyed to see her focus still glued to the screen, Zayn snatched the remote from her grasp and switched off the TV. Deepika gave him a look of surprise and then frowned. Zayn's lips which were formed into a smirk, fell flat instantly. He leaned towards her and left a quick kiss on her mouth in an attempt to make her smile. And he was successful.

"Why'd you do that?" she asked eyeing the remote in his hand.

"Because you're being boring."

"What?"

"You're sitting in front of the TV! Come on let's go out somewhere." he stood up.

"But where?" she also got up from the couch.

"I don't know, anywhere." he shrugged. "We've been dating for about a week now and we haven't been on a proper date yet. And you need to stop gluing yourself to the TV every night!"

"I had nothing to do!" she retorted. "Everyone else is doing their own thing and I didn't even know where you were gone. Besides, they play really good movies around this time."

"Fine, let's go out now."

"Now? But it's late."

"Deepika." he groaned.

"I'm kidding jeez. Obviously I wanna go on our first date too." she chuckled as her arms looped around Zayn's neck.

"Good. Oh and wear something red." he bit his bottom lip.

"Why?" she looked at him curiously.

"Because I've never seen you in red and I'm sure you'd look pretty hot in it."

"Oh." Deepika eyes widened and then softly chuckled. "I'll go get changed then." she pulled away from Zayn and walked over to the closet where she had moved some of her clothes into.

Zayn sat back down on the couch and took out his phone to pass the time while he waited for her to get ready. About fifteen minutes later he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head around and instantly his jaw dropped open.

Deepika giggled at his reaction. "Too much?"

"N- no." Zayn stuttered and quickly got off the couch and came around it to stand in front of her.

Deepika wore a red sleeveless jumpsuit, which had a plunging neckline and ended a few inches before her ankles. The outfit was fitted perfectly to her body, which made it outline her figure. Her wavy brown hair was brought to one side over her shoulder and lastly to complete her outfit for the night, she wore black heels.

"I think red is my new favorite color." he smirked after he finished ogling her. "Why can't you dress like this more often?"

Deepika chuckled shaking her head and took his hand. "Let's go." Her and Zayn stepped out of their room and walked down the hallway. "How are we getting to wherever you're taking me?" she asked.

"Uber."

"Thank God."

The couple stepped outside of the beach house and found a black car waiting a few feet away from them. They made their way to it and sat inside, with both taking the back seat.
