*Niall POV*

"So what are planning to do today? You have a day off right?" I could hear her munching on chips. Zoey is so me.

"Yeah I do, but I don't have any plans yet. Do you wanna catch a lunch with me?" I asked casually, but I swear that I was really nervous. That's not the usual me though!

"Um.. I think yeah! It'll be nice. I didn't have anything else to do anyway"

I practically jumped and fist pumped the air. I wanted everything to be perfect. It was just a casual lunch, not a date or anything, but it still made me nervous as hell.

"Okay then, I guess I'll pick you up at 12?" It's almost 10:30 now. I have so much planning to do.

"I'm fine with it! See you, Niall" she hung up.

I paced around the house, trying to think of a place where I could take Zoey. I finally decided that I'd take her to the small but cute restaurant round the corner, and after lunch we could come back to my flat, in case she wanted to hang out with me.

I wore a plain black shirt with a denim jacket, black jeans and a white converse. I wanted this to be as casual as possible. I took my range rover and drove to her and Lisa's flat. I was really nervous and back to my old habit of biting my nails. I really need to stop doing this.

I reached her doorstep and rung the doorbell. She answered the door after two minutes. She was dressed simple, yet she looked so amazing. She had a white top and blue jeans, with black heels. I got a grip on myself, I didn't want her to catch me staring at her. I didn't want to look like a freak.

"Shall we?" I smiled and extended my arm, as gracefully as I could. She giggled, she knew that I was doing it just to lighten the mood. She locked the door of her flat and came up to me.

"We shall" she took my arm and I felt my chest swell. Man, I am so weird it's not even funny anymore. I led her to my car and opened the passenger door for her. She got in and I closed it behind her, and jogged to my side.

I am so happy that I got my driving license two months ago. I didn't like the thought of people driving me to places.

I drove to the restaurant, lightly chatting to her on the way. We decided to play 20 questions.

"What's your favourite colour?" I asked. 

"Blue" came the reply. "What kind of music do you like that your fans don't know about?"

"I really like rock music sometimes, depends on my mood actually. It'd shock many people" I replied. "What do you like in boys?"

"It's really hard to answer that, cause I haven't ever thought about it. I guess it like boys that are really chilled out, carefree, loving life. Someone like you" she blurted out. I looked at her and saw her cheeks tinged with red. Wow, I didn't see that coming!

"Um okay.." I didn't really know what else to say. I was so bad at communicating sometimes, I wanted to punch myself in the face.

"What do like in girls?" she asked.

"Now that you ask it, I dunno what to say. I like girls who eat a lot, like me haha" I am literally so freaking dumb.

We talked for some more time. I learnt many things about her till we finally reached the restaurant. I led her inside quickly, I didn't want paps to spot us and ruin this for me. We went to a booth at the corner. I loved this place because it ensured me some privacy, nobody here really bothered if I came to grab a snack or something.

The waitress came to us and asked for our order. We went through the menu, and I suggested some of the things that she should try. I have been here so many times I remember almost everything on the menu.

As we waited for our food to come, we chatted some more. She laughed at most of the things I said. I wanted to see her laugh, it was priceless. She'd have a bit of her tongue out and close her eyes while laughing. I really sound like a creep.

"So where was Lisa? She wasn't at home right?" I'd surely have seen her, she'd at least come out to say hi to me.

"She went with Sarah to the animal vet, Ziggy was having some problems eating. She is very fond of Ziggy"

"Oh... Do you like this place?" I asked apprehensively. I loved this place, but I had just guessed that she'd like it too.

"Are you kidding? I love this place. It's so cute and homely, and this is like the first place I've seen where your fans aren't hounding you" she joked.

That was true. People don't usually know that I frequent this place. The staff keep it quiet, they know what privacy means to me. I didn't want to be mobbed on a day out with Zoey. She wasn't used to being around so many people, and I certainly didn't want our fans to hate on her. Some of the fans can be really passionate about us, so they go on to hate any girl we are spotted with. When it comes to our family, I lose my cool. But the majority of the fandom is really nice to our friends and family.

The food finally arrived, and I restrained myself from wolfing it down for the sake of manners. To say that the food was good would be an understatement.
