Chapter 18

*ERICAS POV*

"Lets go in the love tunnel."He whispers into my ear sending shivers down my spine. I bite my lip nervously looking up into his gorgeous brown eyes.

"You sure?" I ask quietly. He bends down so his face is right next to my neck and he says, "Oh yeah, I'm sure babe."

"Did you just call me babe?" I blush.

"Umm, sorry babe- Erica." He finishes up quickly.

"It's ok babe lets go in already." I pull Zayn's arm into the entrance. We show the man our bracelets and he guides us in. It's dark and candles are lit throughout the place to guide the boats I'm guessing. Zayn hops into the boat and I follow in after him.

The boat jolts forward suddenly and I loose my balance landing on Zayn's lap.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I laugh scooting over two feet.

"Haha! I don't mind! Why don't you sit closer?" He laughs snaking an arm around my waist causing me to sit closer to him. We're so close that our legs touch. The ride continues and the lighting gets brighter by the minute, I gasp at the sight. The entire tunnel is covered in all sorts of green plants and flowers. The boat moves forward and curves to the left towards hundreds of roses.

"For you." He holds out a roses for me. I give him a small smile and Zayn reaches for my hand. He bends his head down to look at me and for a second I think he's going to kiss me! But,no... It doesn't feel right.

"Zayn." I stop him from kissing me. His lips are inches from mine. I can see the hurt in his face and I feel really bad.

"I can't do this."

"Huh?"bHe sits back running a hand through his jet black hair.

"This, I know we're not dating but I think we're moving too fast. I just met you five days ago."bIt had been built up in my chest all night long that I barley got any sleep. I like Zayn a lot but, I'm not ready to be noticed by fans yet. Is that normal?

"Your right." He says facing me. WHAT?! He agrees! My face is filled with confusion and shock at the same. Why does he feel the same?

"I am?" I try to calm down as he smiles at me.

"Yeah, I understand all the presser on you but, I would love it if the fans got to know you. It's alright with me if you want to be friends." Thank God! I let out a sigh of relief and pull him into a hug.

"I'm glad you feel the same way. I say into the crook of his neck.

"Anything you want love." We pull apart just as the ride ends. I have this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach tho and I feel sick. It feels like I just broke up with Zayn Malik for goodness sake! We weren't even dating... But it felt real. I knew I couldn't fall for a popster like Zayn. How could he possibly like me as much as I like him? The feeling was so terrible that I could feel little pricks in my eyes. I can't cry... I try to hold back and suck in a deep breath. But, it just comes back. Lets face it, I'll never be with Zayn Malik...

-----------------------

After riding a couple more rides with Kevin and Zayn I couldn't take it anymore. He wouldn't even look at me like he used to! It hurt so bad I felt like I was getting stabbed in the heart every time I looked at him. So, I was just about to ask Paul to take me back to Simons house when Niall stopped me.

"Do you want me to take you back?" Niall puts a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and nod looking into his sparkling eyes. I wish I was Niall. He's so nice and happy all the time. I was like him, until now...
