Zayns POV♡

I walked into the cafe of where I was finally meeting Rose. I opened the door and I could hear the ding above, I found my favourite seat empty near by the window. I walked across and sat down. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday, an odd couple hear and there but it was silent, quiet nothing could be heard expect for the coffee machines brewing.

I was nervous as hell, as I kept looking back at watch 15 min early! I hate being early, I'd rather be fashionably on time. 'Zayn?' I looked up to find the owner of the cafe. 'It's so early, what are you doing here?' I waved my hand at him. His eyes widened in realisation, he chuckled taking a seat across from me. 'Meeting Rose aren't we?'

'How did you know?' I mumbled

'Son, the sweat on your forehead says otherwise. Whatever you do make sure you don't let her go this time. If you have to talk it through, please do it today, not tomorrow not the day after' he stood up, but then turned back and said to me, 'if there's violence, take it on the street.'

'I would cause no harm to my girl'. Just calling her my girl - made my heart flutter. I smiled slightly at this.

'Glad to hear my son' He put a hand on my shoulder. 'Wait - isn't that your girl in that car' my head shot up, yes that's Rose, that's my Rose. But my heart suddenly started to shattered when I saw a cleaned up boy, who opened the car door for her. I could see from where I was sitting, they exchanged a few words and hugged briefly.

Thoughts started to run in my mind, crazily. It's obvious she's moved on. I wanted to back out, I couldn't. I still had feelings for her. I couldn't just be friends with her. My heart started to race as soon as I saw her, walking open the door. I pretended to look somewhere else but her. I pretended to busy myself. So I looked at Brian and he gave me a heads up.

Brian was like a father to me. He knew me very well. I could tell him anything and he would sit here and listen to my rubbish for long and not interrupt till I was finished. Brian is married with two adorable kids and one coming on the way - he always talked about me having to become his future kid's Godparent. To say the least I was happy, I love children. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Brian's playful voice. 'You must be Rose, come this way my darling. Zayn has just been waiting for your arrival!' I bit my lip as I heard footsteps closing near.

I slowly looked up to find Rose, looking back down at me. Still so beautiful, she hadn't changed one bit - which was a good thing for me. I stood up to greet her.

'Hey' I said.

'Hi' she said shyly. Oh my god it didn't hit me hard until she said that to me. I missed her voice. I saw Brian standing behind with a grin on his face. I coughed awkwardly.

'Oh yes. Erm - I was supposed to attend to table 5! Give me a shout, when you children are ready to order.' I mentally rolled my eyes.

'Don't mind Brain, he has always called me his child - well everyone his children.' I laughed nervously. 'Please. Take a seat.' She sat down slowly after I did.

I was fidgeting with my fingers, I didn't clearly know how to start a convo off. I looked up briefly at Rose and she spoke 'this is quite a cosy cafe' she said scanning her eyes around. I missed this, she was always the inquisitive one.

'Yeah, it's very cosy here. It does tend to get busy here - but I just managed to meet you here with it being quiet' I licked my lips. 'Shall we erm - order?' She nodded eagerly, I could tell she was hungry. Her eyes scanned the menu as she bit her bottom lip.

'Gosh. There's too much to chose from order for me Zayn?' Just hearing her say my name made, my blood pressure go sky high. I was lost in a bit of a daze, until she looked back up at me and waved her little hands in front of my face. I shook my head out of trance and saw that Brian's niece was nearby, so I decided to call her over.

'Zayn - is that you. Gosh babe, I haven't seen you in ages' she asked me as soon as she came to the table. I looked over at Rose and she kinda looked jealous as she looked away.

'That's because you were away - holidaying in the sun Olivia!' I said chuckling. 'May I add with your boyfriend' she rolled her eyes. Suddenly she saw Rose.

'Oh my - you must be Rose, God Zayn was right .. You are beautiful' she said just staring at her with wide eyes. I looked over at Rose, and I could sense a blush forming. Rose thanked her. Whilst I ordered my usual - this time for two people.

'And what's your usual?' Rose said leaning her hand on her chin.

'That's for me to know and for you to find out' I said pulling my tongue out at her. She let out an eye roll. I wanted to ask her about the cleaned up boy - but I let that slide for now.

'So how long have you been in London for?' I asked Rose

'Well it's been a week, I didn't know you were here'

'Yeah I - actually you remember Doniya she's here to visit some friends of hers' and that was a lie because we were here to see my other sister. 'Actually Rose there's something I have to tell you - I mean you may not like it, because I am the one who played you around and I shouldn't have.' But before I could say anymore our order came.

'You can tell me anything Zayn what's wrong.' I debated on telling her. Should I tell her after I've eaten or before. I used an excuse.

'Hold on a second - I just need to use the bathroom. But enjoy your frappe I'll be back' I got up sighing heavily.

I walked over to kitchen making sure Rose didn't see I lied. 'Brian?' I yelled. I saw one of the chefs and asked him where Rose was - he pointed saying he's out back.

I walked over and found Brian slumped over near the fire exit door - looking at nothing in particular. 'Brain are you okay?'

'Yeah son, I was just getting some fresh air. How's your date going?'

'Its terribleeeee, I know I should have waited till after we've eaten. Am so scared. If she knew I lied to her, she may hate me for ever. I - I - don't know what to do' I said in a stern voice. Brian put his hand on my shoulder.

'Look Zayn - you gonna have to tell her some day. Let it slide for now, maybe tell her after you've eaten. Take her for a goddamn walk. Just don't pressure her, it's the first day - you are close to getting her back' I nodded my head and hugged Brian. Thanking him.

I went over the table bring my frappe closer. 'Zayn? You were gonna say something!' I shook my head -

'It can wait'

'You do worry me at times. but God sorry I finished your cookie aswell, it was just so mouthwatering' I smiled slightly as she let the topic slide, she was understanding that way and that's one of the reasons why I loved her so much.
