Love Me Like You Do - A Zayn Malik AU

Chapter Fifteen

We are driving through the streets. I look out the window as Devon drives the car forward. I have my headphones in, look down on my iPhone and play some music. I lean my head back against the headrest.

We have arrived at the hotel. I am packing out my suitcase. I look at my iPhone, wanting to receive a text from Zayn. Only to have none except from Emma.

Good Luck this week. Will be watching everything with the boys x love you

I smile and text her back and then walk towards the bathroom. I get changed. I put on a black pair of jeans and a white top. I put on my pink blazer and a pair of blue high heels. I walk downstairs to the lobby of the hotel. Devon and I step outside of the hotel and step inside our car.

When we arrive at the location and have walked inside, we walk towards the room where we are expected.

After a couple of meetings, Devon and I are walking through the crowded streets of Sheffield. I am meeting up with the models of the show tonight. We walk towards the big black door which has a golden tile which says Sheffield's Fashion House. we press the black button which makes a buzzing sound. The door opens up and we step inside. We walk towards the lounge and then ask the receptionist, where we need to be. We get send to the second floor of the building.

The elevator stops on the correct floor and we step out. There is a sort of spacious lounge. There are thirteen girls sitting in the couches. I introduce myself. Gemma walks in. "Hello and welcome to Sheffield." She says laying down a file on the desk next to her. "It is a pleasure to have you here." I smile at her words. "It is lovely to be here, thanks for inviting me." I say meaning it. Devon introduces himself to the guy that walks in as well. "Hi, I am Michael." He says. We all talk and get informed about this week.

After a couple hours of talking and getting informed, we exit the building and walk towards a cafe. We enter it and get greeted with a warm feeling. This place is very cozy. The place is filled with a warm bread smell. We sit down in a booth that is next to a window. I take out my iPhone and open up Instagram to see the latest posts. The second picture on my timeline is a picture of Zayn and one of the sisters. I find it strange. Zayn almost never posts anything and especially not something like this. I check his feed to see no other pictures of the trip. Thank god. Devon orders something at the register and then walks back. He smiles at me. "Are you okay?" I nod, lock my phone and put it in my bag.

The waiter comes and gives us our drinks. I smile at Devon as I wrap my hands around the warm cup. "You know me well." I say since he got my favorite drink. "I have worked for your father since you were little, I really do know things." He says smiling at me as he brings the cup to his lips.

We both drink up our drinks. "Let's go." He then says. We have to drop the designs off at the studio. Walking over to his car, I think about tomorrow. I bet everybody will be nervous. I am too, it is not bad right? They are healthy nervous feelings, my mother would say.
Mother and father are visiting my fathers colleagues in town as we were meeting the girls.

We reach the hotel. We greet the receptionist and then walk towards the elevator to reach our rooms. We reach our floor and then Devon goes into his own suite. I swipe the card into the lock and then the door opens up. I put the card into the light switch so the lights turn on.

The lights are a bright light but not blinding. I turn some candles that are placed in the room. I walk out on to the balcony, lean over the railing to look down at the busy streets of Sheffield. It is starting to cool down outside. I walk back inside closing the doors behind me as I enter the room again.

I decide to relax for a couple of hours. Laying down on my bed, I take out my iPad and check some apps. I see a message pop up in the screen.

Hey Nina, how is Sheffield x lily

I smile and open it up. I type what I wanna type.

Amazing, it is beautiful x love you lots

I flip through the channels of the tv to see some news channels. Plane crash in Japan, Get tickets for the Summer Fest on the 21 of july. 'Zayn Malik on the plane back to England.' I stop flipping obviously and listen to the news. 'King Yaser Malik and Prince Zayn are coming back to the United Kingdom.' The news reporter says as a clip of Zayn walking with his father onside, which looks like an airport, plays on the screen. 'The King and the prince have been spotted at the airport yesterday night. Meaning that they have landed this morning.' Behind and in front of him are securities to protect them. I thought they would have been gone longer. I check my iPhone

I walk over to the mini fridge and get out a can of Coca Cola Light. I open it up and drink from it when a knock is heard on the door. I sigh as I walk over to the door and open it.

Zayn is standing in front of me. His hair styled as it usually is. A black button up shirt, black jeans and a bag hanging over his shoulder. His eyes looking in to mine as he smiles the smile, I have fell in love with.
"What are you doing here?" I say taking his hand, dragging him inside of the room and closing the door behind him.

"Well a welcome back, may also be fine." He says smiling at me as he leans in to hug me tight. I laugh. "The trip was shorter than expected so as soon as it was done, we flew back." He says as he lets go.
"But how did you get here?" I ask. "This is 2015 they have cars." He says like I do not know that already. I roll my eyes and look down at the floor. "How did you know I was in this hotel?" I ask. "Well, I have maybe texted Lance and asked him." He says with a obvious expression written over his face. "Smart of you." I say wrapping my arms around his neck. "I might be royal but I am not dumb." He says.

Zayn stands up from the bed and gets out his bag. "What is in there?" I ask curiously. "Clothes." He says as he begins to lay them down in the closet. "But wait. You are staying the whole week?" I ask him. "Yes, I need to be there to support my very hot girlfriend." I take in his words and then smile. He is so cute. "Aw. How sweet of you." I say as I step towards him.

"I am having dinner tonight with mom and dad, are you joining us?" I ask when he lays the last pair of clothes down on the shelf.
He has brought clothes, like he is staying here for a month. I chuckle and then he turns around. "Yeah, sure." He says closing the closet door.

We wait for mother and father in the lobby. Dan is Zayn's security guard for when he is out in town. When they have arrived, we walk outside. We are walking through the busy streets. Dan walks closely next to us, protecting us. Zayn holds my hand tightly as father reaches out for my mother's hand.

We arrive at the restaurant and walk inside. "We have made a reservation for five." My father says. The waiter leads us towards the table. Dan takes another table a little bit away from us to give us a little bit of privacy but still be there when something might happen.

"What can I get you to drink?" The waiter asks us politely. He looks sort of nervous. "A dark beer for Zayn and I." My father says. "A red wine for the two of us." Mother says smiling at him. We also order the food for the night.

We talk about Zayn's trip and our days here. He explains some things about what his work exactly is and what he does. The food arrives and gets set in front of us...
