Love Me Like You Do - A Zayn Malik AU

Chapter Nine

Arriving at home, I walk upstairs. I enter my room and then get myself ready for the gym. I dress myself and put my hair into a high ponytail. I walk down the stairs and enter the gym. "Hello." He says a little bit too excited with a smile on his face. "Hey." I step on the threadmill next to him and then set the time. When Jacob and I sport together we usually do about ten minutes of running and then do some boxing. We run and talk about what we are going to be doing this evening. Rose and Lance have asked me to make the invitations so I can pick those up at the shop later. The then minutes are over and we make our way to the punching bag.

Jacob hits the punching bag as I hold it steady. After a couple of minutes, we decide to switch. I kick and hit the punching bag for a couple of minutes an then turn off the speakers. We make our way to our bedrooms to get ready. I shower and do my usual routine. I change into a dress, my denim jacket and my converse. I put on a little bit of eyeliner and mascara. I take my house keys. 

Jacob walks down the stairs. "I am going to Gabriella's house." He says smiling at me. "Enjoy." I say when he has reached me. "Thanks." He gives me a hug and then leaves along with me as I lock the house. I walk down the streets and then make my way over to the left and enter the little copy shop. The little bell rings as I step on the mat. I reach the counter where some people are behind a computer before they see me. "Hello, Mrs. DeLafayette." I greet them back and give my order. The guy walks away for a second to a little door behind the desk. Seconds later he comes back with all the envelopes. He looks on his computer. "I see that you already paid for them." I nod and then he gives me a bag with them inside of it. "Thank you very much." I thank him and he smiles. "Have a nice night." He says. "You too." He smiles and I make my exit.

I have arrived at home and lay the plastic bag on Rose's bed. I feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket and take it out to see what I have got.

I have a surprise for you, wear something nice and I will pick you up at eight x

I laugh and then go to my own room. I look in my closet and take out the black dress that was in the gift bag of the ball. I hang it up on the rack and then go downstairs. Rose and Lance are sitting on the couch. They are all over each other. I scrape my throat and then they look up at me. Lance's cheeks become bright red which makes Rose laugh. "Do you guys want something to drink?" They both answer at the same time which makes them laugh. I stand up and pour the drinks in for us. I hear the front door open and hear mother lets out a sigh. "Nina, can you please pour in a glass of white wine for me?" I nod and then she gives me a kiss on the cheek. I take the glass into the living room and then set it down on the little table. We talk about how I have the invitations ready and laid them on her bed. I see her face lighten up and she smiles. "Nina, you are the best!" She says with a smile.

It is currently six thirty and I head upstairs to my bedroom, I apply a little bit of eye shadow, some more eyeliner to my eyes and fill my clutch. I really want to know what the surprise is as I step into my heels. I straighten my hair and then walk down the stairs. Zayn is sitting on the couch with my whole family. Never expected that. He is wearing a blouse and some pants. I walk into the living room. "Shall we go?" I ask with a smile. He nods and then stands up. "Bye." I say before we walk out the door. The air outside is cold at the same time. We step inside the black car and then drive towards the place. We arrive at a restaurant.

"First this and after that you will see the surprise." He says with a mysterious look on his face. I smile as he takes my hand to walk inside the very fancy looking place. "Table for two." Zayn says to a waiter. "On the name of?" He the asks. "Malik." Zayn answers and the guy checks the system.

We take our seats and look at the menu. A waiter asks us for our drinks. Zayn orders a beer and I order a red wine. We talk while looking at the main courses, head courses and desserts. The waiter comes and asks for our orders. We order the same and then the waiter leaves. I see some people staring at us. They are saying little things about us I believe. Zayn smiles at them and I do too as they smile back. Their food arrives at the same time as ours which makes our attention turn to something else.

We eat, talk, look at each other and just enjoy this moment. He is already finished with his food and I am almost done. He looks at me as I eat the last few bits of my dessert. I swallow the last bit and then look at Zayn. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask. He smiles, his beautiful smile. "Because you are beautiful, Nina." He says. I blush and smile. "Shall we go?" He asks after drinking up his beer. I nod and then we stand up to walk towards the cash register.

We are now walking outside, through the crowded streets of London. I see a girl with the dress out of the collection we advertised earlier. A little girl walks up to us with her mother, I believe. "Can I have your autograph?" The little girls asks us. She hands me a little notepad and a pen. We crouch down next to her and I sign the notepad. Zayn does the same, we give her a hug and she smiles. "Thank you, Nina and Prince Zayn." She says politely. We stand up and smile at her. "Good night," Her mother says and we do the same. "Good night." We say and then they walk off. "That was so cute." I say. He nods and we walk towards a theatre. 

ADELE: IN CONCERT!

I gasp and look over at him. "How did you know?" I ask him. He smiles at my reaction. "I spotted her Cd's on your desk and saw her LP in your LP player. He says with a grin. "Come on let get inside." He says snaking his arm around my waist as I say: "Oh My God!"...
