As the sun went down, Liam decided to take both of them to one of the fancy restaurants here in London for a dinner. Zayn suggested him that they could just buy Chinese food and take it home but Liam refused.
The drive took an hour and forty minutes from Danson Park. There they had Basque cuisine in Lurra Restaurant, at 9 Seymour Place.
The restaurant served the food deliciously and perfectly grilled. Zayn and Liam shared the octopus, turbot, and prime rib and they were impressed by the flavor and quality of the meat.
"I'd definitely come back," Zayn said, though certainly it was not a cheap option. But Liam didn't mind, he would love to spoil his husband. "I took you here on our first date." Liam said.
Zayn stopped chewing, he looked up at the man in front of him. "You must be rich." He said simply. Liam just chuckled, "I thanked God for that."
They ate then had a conversation, on how Liam asked him out for the first time to this place when they were still in high school.
"I was nervous at first, but you then seemed so nice to me and so I built my bravery to ask you out." Liam explained, finishing with a chuckle. "What did we do in our first date?" Zayn continued his eating, Liam watched him fondly. "We ate like this, with the same exact menu. And we shared our first kiss in my car, from then on we couldn't keep our hands off each other."
Zayn smiled, "I'd like to rewind all of the scene.."
Liam nodded, "will do." He promised Zayn. No long after, Liam asked the waitress for the bill and paid it all. He got up and walked them both to his car. He opened the door for his husband, Zayn said a quiet 'thank you' to him.
He didn't know why but his heart beating rapidly, just like the day when this all happened. He even glanced at his husband for a few times before went to start the engine. Zayn, he was in love with the feeling though, how everything seemed so familiar.
Silence filled up all the driving, but a nice one. It's just that Liam didn't know how to start a conversation because Zayn was enjoying himself by humming to every soft grunge music on the radio. And Liam actually loved it.
"Are you gonna hurt me now?
Or are you gonna hurt me later?
Are you gonna go to town?
Maybe you should play it safer
You've got me all dressed up tonight
Springsteen on the radio
You've got me all freaked out tonight
Somethin' you're tellin' me, what? I don't know
You don't wanna break me down
You don't wanna say goodbye and
You don't wanna turn around
You don't wanna make me cry but
You caught me once
Maybe on the flipside I could catch you again
You caught me once
Maybe on the flipside you could catch me again"
The song kept playing, Zayn didn't know why he could memorize all the lyrics, he didn't even know who was the singer or what was the tittle. But he just sang it like it was his favorite song.
Liam didn't mind, he was enjoying Zayn's angelic voice. He never wanted to bother him, so he kept driving and listening to his husband's hum. When the song was over, Liam finally started to speak, "you used to sing that song a lot."
Zayn looked at him, "yeah?". Liam nodded, "you said the song suits you so much. Especially when I was about to leave you."
"What made you did so?" Zayn asked.
"We had to live separately because of college, you were accepted by scholarship here in London meanwhile myself had to go to America. It was a bigger argument than the caught-smoking one. Other than that, we never had really a big fight.
After two months being separated, we could finally accept it. We met each other every time we got a chance. From then on, we started to travel a lot." He smiled, draped his wrists on the steering wheel.
Zayn wondered about it, he tried to remember anything. He couldn't for now, but he assured himself to be okay with it. 'Soon I'll remember,' he told himself.
"Our relationship sounds interesting back then. Like, it was full of getaway. Me and you." Zayn confessed. Liam nodded, "it is, babe."
They arrived at their house, both of them let out a sigh after such a long day. "Can we re-experience everything we had done in the past again? I.. want to remember us, you and me." Zayn blushed when he said it so bluntly.
"I know places," Liam smiled. "I was just starting it with you today."
