Louis' POV: (whaat?)

Zayn took my hand and dragged me down the road, our entwined hands swinging in-between us. The sun was beating down and the heat was rising from the pavement in a haze. We walked quickly towards our destination Lola's. I pushed open the door and they opened to reveal a small but comforting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style lab/café.

We slid into an empty red leather booth, my wet jeans screeching against the leather causing it to squeak, which made the whispering fathers and mothers turn around and stare at us. I turned to look at Zayn curiously. "I wouldn't have thought this was your sort of place" I said looking around at the churning vats of chocolate. "Its not very bad-boy is it?"

"No" he said, taking his time to glance around. "But the addiction is pretty bad-boyish, and I may not broadcast it, but I have a real problem with hot chocolate. Seriously you won't believe this stuff until you've tried it"

I picked up the menu and looked through the treats; hot chocolate, milk, dark, white, with chilli, with, nutmeg, with cinnamon, hot chocolate ice-cream, chocolate pizza - all of this chocolate and a perfect guy like Zayn sitting across from me? There was a very good chance I was in heaven now. I wondered whether I had been run over when I had been running from him.

"Wow" I murmured looking back up at him, I flushed as he smiled at me, if he was going to continue smiling at me like that I was going to run out of things to say really soon. "So you're a chocoholic?"

"Guilty as charged" he said raising his hands up in mock surrender. "I blame it on Perrie, she and her friends created the bad-boy image for me, you feel like you have to be in rehab for something or you're just not committed into being who you are"

"I can imagine" I said nervously starting to panic. What were we going to talk about? I hadn't thought about anything at all. This date was such a bad idea.

"Everyone's got their dirty little secrets" he said, twiddling his thumbs. I frowned a little bit as I detected a note of nervousness in Zayn's voice and eyes, but as soon as I saw it, it was gone. "You want to confess yours?"

"I'm a bit tame" I admitted a blush creeping over my face, "Since I moved to London it has been getting takeouts. At home, I more of a carrot type of boy. I mean, I could live on them!"

"wow! Living life on the edge I see" he said laughing, whilst waving over a waitress and ordering two regular hot chocolates.

"So how long have you been in London?" Zayn asked propping his elbows up on the table and looking at me expectantly.

"I've been in London about a week" as much as I wanted to think of something to talk to Zayn about, I really didn't want to move the conversation entirely onto my own shoulders. "I'm staying with my best friend up the road from here"

"Oh, so you're not here permanently?" Zayn sat back as ours drinks arrived at our booth. Oh no, now I had to navigate through a hot chocolate moustache and having to converse with this very sexy man opposite me. "Oh, no I am here permanently I just needed a place to stay before I got my act together first time I moved and I moved all the way from Doncaster , so Ellie was the obvious choice"

"That's cool, I love London, but I don't know how you can leave Doncaster. Its such a great town" he said.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked making a brave attempt to try to drink and talk at the same time. "London is just so amazing. It makes me feel like, like I'm really living, you know? It makes me want to do new things, to discover every inch of it. See everything there is too see"

"And Doncaster doesn't?" Zayn asking brushing a stray hair off his forehead and back into his quiff. I sipped my hot chocolate and groaned, I was definitely in heaven.

"When I was young we lived about an hour away from London and I can always remembering wanting to go." I explained trying not to be distracted by his honey eyes. "And then I got there and it amazing being in the big city, I just remember feeling free and looking around at the buildings and parks"

Zayn smiled at me over his mug of hot chocolate. I smiled back, my heart thumping widely in my chest. "so have you always lived in London then?"

Zayn nodded, a faraway look in his eyes. "I lost my family along time ago and the only memories I really have left is the big city"

"Who'd you live with then?" I asked going back in for more hot chocolate. Honestly if he stood up right now realising how much of a bore I was, and walked out now I'd still be grateful for introducing me to this place. Willy Wonkaville or not, the hot chocolate was to die for.

"My three best mates" Zayn tried for a smile but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Harry and his girlfriend Autumn who you met last night, and Niall" Zayn reached over the table to wipe away some melted marshmallow from my top lip. I noticed immediately how silky soft the tips of his fingers were. My lips tingled under his touch.

"Oh, I'll have to meet them sometime!" I bit my bottom lip to stop the tingling.

"Did you just seriously invite yourself over to mine?" he sat up straighter, his eyebrows creasing in mock disbelief "I mean, how forward are you?"

I flushed red as I looked away from his teasing glare. Nice one Louis, I scolded myself. You might as well have thrown yourself on top of him there and then, begging him to take you.

"Because you're welcome anytime" Zayn teased, flashing me a killer smile "I just hope that Ellie approves"

Mean, mean, mean.

And I really liked it.

"I don't think I'll have to get permission to meet someone's friends" I murmured refusing to smile even though I wanted too. There was a lot of things I wanted to do in this moment, but this café was hardly the place to do so.

Zayn slid out of the booth and held his hand out for me to take. I took his hand, looking down at our hot chocolates sadly. We were leaving already? He threw down a 20 pound note on the table whilst dragging me out of Lola's. I think my eyes nearly popped out o my head as he did so. How much were our hot chocolates? Maybe I won't come here with Ellie tomorrow.

I took his hand as we walked down the pavement, he looked over at me and I blushed. Zayn stopped and pulled me close to him, his eyes twinkling. Zayn leaned in slowly and I tried to read the expression in his eyes, before I could he swooped down and kissed me softly on the lips. It was chocolaty, gentle, and generally all around electric.

Well, thats the first half, of their date.
