Daddy Direction (Zayn Malik Love Story)

Chapter Eighteen: Start of a New Beginning

Zayn POV

"Just put that over there," Niall told me as i was helping him move into his new place.

"You know you really didn't have to move out," i say to him as i put a brown box next to his new white bookshelf. Not like he reads much anyways. Probably going to be used for his collection of football games.

He gave me a look as he rested his arm on his black couch.

"You know i had to. With you and Le- i mean Nina getting married and all plus Lea being there, i don't want to intrude on your family. Of course i'll come around here or there but it's not really the lad's place anymore."

I get what he was saying; when people get married, they want to be on their own, start their own family and all. Of course i was in no way kicking Niall out and i didn't hate him for no longer wanting to live with me, it's just gonna be some kind of change for me. But i have my own little family here.

"He's gonna be alright."

I knew that voice anywhere, and it still sent chills down my spine. I turned to my left and saw Kayla in a white dress, her hair down and curly sitting in Niall's recliner.

"What are you-"

Niall turned to where i was looking too and became quiet, white as snow.

"Y-you see her too," he asked, shakily pointing in her direction.

I nodded my head.

"I made sure that both of you can see me. Nice place you're gonna have Niall. Trust me, i won't be here long. Just wanted to congratulate you Zayn on your wedding. And being a good father to Lea."

I nodded my head, egging her on to continue. 

"And congrats on...Nevermind."

And with that, she disappeared. I didn't know if that would be the last time i saw her, but there was one question that i needed answered. What else was she congratulating me for?

"I just don't understand it," i explained while i helped Nina make dinner for us. Lea was still asleep in her crib so i decided to talk to Nina about what i heard and saw.

"Maybe she just was trying to be nice," Nina defended her.

"But she left it off. Left me to know what? Congratulate me on something that i know nothing about. She's dead so she knows what happens in my future, right?"

Nina giggled while stirring the pasta.

"Zayn, you're thinking too hard about this. Let's just enjoy what we have and what we're going to have, okay?"

I sighed, nodding my head. 

"Okay."

The dinner was good. Lea got it all over her face of course and it was the cutest thing but i just couldn't get what Kayla meant out of my mind. She was congratulating me on something else that i had no clue what of. And me being the person i am, i tend to over think some things. And this was what i was over thinking for the rest of the night. 

Nina POV

I know i probably should tell Zayn what was actually going on. But Kayla came and talked to me first before going to see Zayn. I knew she would go and see him whether she came to ask for my permission or not but she actually came and asked me if that would be okay. And then we got to talking about what surprise i have for Zayn. Of course she already knew but it felt good to actually tell someone about it.
