Enticing ( au )

Little Black Dress ➰

[ Zayn's POV ]

I smiled widely ,
" hello love "

while she stared at me w/ her mouth hanging open

" Im - "
" Charlotte " I cut her off , & she looked down starting to blush while holding her hand out .

I chuckled & took a step forward . taking her hand
" and I'm zayn , nice to see you " I said kissing her hand .
she blushed severely , looking around acting lost for words . I studied her face , so many emotions ,  I even noticed mourning , as if she missed me .

" shall I come in ? " I grinned ,
she took a step backwards
" ugh Im sorry come in " she blushed

" Giiinnggg- " her sister Tia ran in & stopped when she saw me . looking puzzled she walked up to ginger looking back & forth between me & her older sister .

" hey there , I'm zayn . nice to meet you .. Tia " I smirked , bending down to her height. I looked up at Charlotte noticing her raising her eyebrow .
" hey .. " she spoke softly
" im sorry about that umm , Tia go get washed up & dressed " Charlotte told her.

Ginger walked to the kitchen & I followed. It felt nice being close to her & her being aware of it.

" soo ... "
" soo ? " I raised my eyebrow .
" ask away love " I said .
" why'd you disappear .. zayn , you said you wouldn't leave my side . & after that day I never saw you . & then you pop up a few months away from my birthday & a few weeks away from the day it happened " she trailed off.
" oh I could never ginger . I've been here all this time haven't you noticed ? I thought you needed a little space love . I was a little too attracted & enticed by you . I've always been here , protecting you silently . making sure you were out of harms way ... " i trailed off seeing Christian prance in the room .
" hey there buddy " I cooed , picking him up & petting him.

I looked up at ginger & noticed she was lost in thought

" here , give me your hand Ginger "
she did as directed , hesitantly .

I sat Christian down. & held her hand w/ my right hand & put my left hand over hers .

looking in her eyes I whispered
" you know I wouldn't abandon you like that, I've been here. all along , I wanted you to live w/o being undermined or grow up dependent . I love that you've grown to be a beautiful mature young lady ... umm . I know that it'll take a while to accept me willingly into your heart & life but I'm willing to be patient . after all I have been waiting over 3 years ( I said smirking.) , but here I've gotten you another gift . "

I walked off to the door & picked up the box I sat there earlier w/o her noticing . I walked back towards her & sat the flat rectangular box on the island .
pushing it towards her signaling for her to open it. she opened the box finding a black dress & a smaller box containing a gold chain necklace .
I watched her while she smiled blushing when she realized another note was in there .

" Hello gorgeous , at this moment you're probably standing right in front of me opening this gift & trying not to look at my handsome sexiness ( she said giggling & slightly blushing at this part ) , but this outfit is for tonight . I think you'd look beautiful in it. as you always do, I think we can agree you need a break so I'm taking you on a date . our first date , it's about time you get to get out & have a nice time . now stop reading & go get dressed!     
                                xx Zayn "

she read aloud smiling ear to ear , I laughed " go ahead " I said while shooing her away .

[ Gingers POV ]

Man this man does something to me I thought while walking up the stairs. the way he says " Charlotte " & " Ginger "
or the fact that he never only uses one , he goes from Charlotte to Ginger . or how his touch is so soft , he's such a gentleman. & he has wonderful taste in fashion . he smelled like he did before. mint & spice that you could smell from several feet away , the way he spoke to my little sister . he just seemed like the sweetest person , & those brown eyes , they looked sort of different I admit . they have a glint of mischievousness , curiousness & lust , but love as well . I sighed as my thoughts consumed me . I stripped off my clothes & put on the dress & necklace he gave me , picking out the shoes I wanted . it was just afternoon so I assumed we'd be going to a cafe or something of that sort . I walked to Ty's room first to tell him I'd be going out w/ someone . & to watch Tia . he raised his eyebrow clearly surprised w/ a smirk on his face , " well I saw that coming after our little sister ran in her saying there's a " handsome man " ( he said in Tia's voice ) here to see you " he laughed . & I rolled my eyes playfully . " but Charlotte " he called while i was walking out ,
" yes Tyler "
" be careful " he said sincerely
I smiled softly & nodded .

" Zaaaayn " I called

utterly surprised when I came down stairs to see about 3 dozen roses in a huge vase. he grinned noticing my shock . eyeing me up & down w/ a satisfied face expression . taking my hand we walked to his car . a nice one at that , it was a matte black Cadillac CTS Sedan. he opened & closed my door for me & got in on his side. he let me pick the music I wanted to play while he stayed focused on the road. I couldn't help but continuously glance at him , he had on a black button up polo shirt w/ the sleeves rolled up a tad bit , which Allowed me to see the muscles in his lower arm flex w/ every movement . he had on black pants , & black polo boots . I think it's nice that we matched .
he noticed me looking so I quickly turned my head , he chuckled .

" so where are we headed zayn "
" panera bread , has anyone told you how attractive your voice is "

I blushed & didn't reply , looking out the window .

a thousand years by Christina Perri came on , & zayn started to hum , drumming his fingers on the arm rest

" Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave ?
How can I love when I'm , afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone ?
All of my doubt , suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't , be afraid , I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time , stands , still
Beauty in all , she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything , take , away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
Oneeee steep cloooser " he sang . & god he sang beautifully , I couldn't help but take him singing the song as a subliminal , especially since he was holding my hand stroking it w/ his thumb & constantly glancing over. I sighed , today has just really gotten so much better & better as the time forwarded that I became lost for words.
