Took a deep breath in the mirror,

he didn't like it when I wore high heels

but I do

"Al, where did you put my make up?" I shouted as I zipped up my black and white skater dress.

"In the second drawer of the dressing table, not that you need it." Ali answered walking into my room. She looked stunning in a short bandage dress and killer heels.

"Wow. Harry's not going to be able to keep his hands off you." I remarked.

"That's the idea." Ali giggled lying on the bed as I began applying my make up.

I was just putting the finishing touches to my look when Elle burst in the room. "Come on guys its time to go."

"Two seconds." I replied running my fingers through my curled hair. Standing up I slipped my feet into some black heels.

After some faffing in the hallway we headed out the front door and down the stairs to where the boys were waiting patiently.

My eyes found Zayn and all I could think was wow. He was wearing a blue shirt, chinos and converse; a combination which, on him, looked incredible.

Feeling eyes on me I moved my gaze upwards to see Zayn smiling at me. "You look amazing." He spoke as we walked towards the restaurant.

"You look fat." Jarrod's voice piped up in my head. Deciding he wasn't going to ruin my night I returned Zayn's compliment. "You don't look so bad yourself."

"Thanks." He answered smiling at me his eyes twinkling as we reached the restaurant. Seriously, it should be illegal to look that hot. I can feel my heart rate increasing and my cheeks reddening under his soft gaze.

Zayn and I took the remaining seats opposite one another at the end of the long table. Louis sat to my left and Liam sat to Zayn's right.

Feeling nervous I rubbed my scar subconsciously until I felt Zayn's stare.

Before he could say anything Louis interrupted turning to face me. "Real or fake?" He blurted gesturing to my hair a cheeky smile on his face.

"Louis, don't be rude." Liam scolded smiling at me apologetically.

"It's okay." I assured Liam. As questions went it could have been far worse. :And it's fake." I replied winking at Louis. Another post Jarrod thing, I needed to do something to reinvent myself physically.

"Red suits you." Louis commented and out of the corner of my eye I could see Zayn nodding in agreement.

A young waitress came over to take our order and blatantly check the guys out. I decided upon a Smirnoff ice and lasagne.

Louis, Liam, Zayn and I fell into easy conversation and I soon began to relax in their presence. They were really easy to get on with and didn't seem keen to ask too many deep questions.

"So whose up for karaoke later then?" Louis asked referencing the entertainment due to take place at 10pm just outside our restaurant. I shook my head quickly when he turned to me.

After a lot of protesting, during which our food arrived, Zayn agreed to sing with Louis. Zayn rolled his eyes at me and I laughed before looking away. I wasn't comfortable enough yet to hold his gaze for long.
