The Loner

Chapter 16: Too cheesy?

After we got back from the movie we both decided we should order something for dinner. I was thinking that we should order Chinese takeout, but he wanted pizza.

"Pwwweeaaassee?" Zayn asked in a very childish tone.

"Ugh, fine. Only cause I'm living here for free." I said

"Yay!" Zayn cheered, celebrating his victory as he dialed his phone and danced a little horribly.

Zayn ordered a large pepperoni pizza. Obviously not knowing that I could hardly eat one piece, but that was ok. We'd have left overs. All of a sudden Zayn left the room real quick still on the phone with the pizza company. That was weird. But I just brushed it off as he walked in with a smile on his face.

40 minutes later

"Pizza's here!" Zayn yelled up at me.

I walked down the stairs, doing two at a time, like I always did. I had £5 in my hands to give to Zayn for the pizza. I lay it on the table. In front of him.

"You won't need to be paying me for that." He said

"Umm why not?" I asked rather taken back.

"Because you just don't need to."

"Ok then."

When Zayn went to get the pizza from the delivery man I stuck the money in his back pocket.

He lay the pizza on the kitchen table and turned to me.

"I'll be right back. I've gotta use the restroom. Mind grabbing some plates and putting a few slices on mine?"

"Sure, of course." I said to him as he went to the bathroom.

I opened the cabinet to get two plates for us. The aroma of the pizza filled my nose and made my mouth water. I opened the lid and my jaw dropped. In purple sharpie "Will you be my girlfriend? Or is this too cheesy? -Zayn" was written on the inside.

"Yes! A million times yes!" I yelled at Zayn.

He walked out of the bathroom with a grin on his face.

"I was hoping for that answer" as he pulled me into a hug. I pulled away and looked him dead in the eyes.

"Why didn't you ask me face to face?"

"Because I was nervous." He said as his cheeks slightly turned pink.

"I would've said yes either way." I said smiling brightly.

Zayn tilted my chin towards him and he planted a warm kiss on my lips. I could feel his smile against my lips. He pulled away. I could still feel his warmth on me even as he left.

"How about that pizza?" He asked me hungrily.

"I'm starving!" I said.

He picked up his plate and sat down at the table. I sat across from him and picked up my slice.

"Why are you sitting all the was over there?" He asked me.

"I don't know." I said

"Sit by me?" He clearly really wanted me next to him.

"Okie dokie." I said as I picked up my plate and sat next to him.

"Okie dokie?" He chuckled. "You're a dork."

"I know, I've been told many times." I giggled.

****

I heard the water rushing as Zayn brushed his teeth before bed. I smiled to myself knowing that Zayn, THE Zayn Malik is MY boyfriend. Not anybody else.
