No Passing Through

Chapter 24: The Lucky One

(Zayn's POV)

"NIALL! You forgot to pick up the guests!" I hollered at him.

He looked at me dumbfounded with a buritto shoved unto his mouth. I groaned loudly in frustration as Trish slaps the back of his head. Thank you Trish! And F you Niall.

Racing through the door, I received a text from Nessie,

It's time to KISS my prince.

Wish me luck. ;)

x Vanessa

I smiled as I read the message. After all the things that had happened it's about time.

Finally. Goodluck Nessie!

Do it like this. :****

x Zayn

"Zayn is very proud of you." I thought to myself as I went to the car and went on to pick up dome of the guests. Vanessa asked me a week ago if I and the others could help her in surprising Liam. It's a thoughtful and cute thing to do. Liam's a very lucky guy. And I'm happy for the both of them.

(Vanessa's POV)

We settled in a large mall in the city which was a fifteen minute drive from the beach house. Liam wore shades and a cap to partially hide his identity. Oh. I just remembered, I was with a member of the biggest, international boy band in the world. Liam and I ate in a small but fancy restaurant enjoying the company of each other. After being satieted with baby back ribs and carrot soup, we went to a store called,"Jack Willis", where he bought a few things and was about to pay when suddenly,

"Oh my god! It's Liam Payne." A girl squeeled loud enough for other girls to be heard and soon enough we were in a marathon. Running like there's no tomorrow, Liam swiftly pulled me in a small imaging booth.

"I think we're safe now." He said while trying to catch his breath. I looked at him amused.

"What?" He asks trying to be serious.

"You know, it's alright. I mean you can just greet your fans and take those pictures. I could wait. " I stated smiling encouraginly at him.

Liam sighed heavily and closed his eyes as he rested his head on the wall behind his back. Before I could say something, his lips parted and words came out.

"I've been there before....With my past girlfriend....she gets hate from them. I don't want you getting crowded by those fans. I don't want you getting wounded by receiving those nasty comments. And most of all, I want them to respect your privacy and I want us a to be a secret for now, not that I am ashamed of you or something. It's because we're not official yet and I hope we're getting there but all I know is that I won't let them hurt you."

I am lost for words. He's made me speechless and he was staring straight to my eyes. Not knowing what to say, I gave him a light hug and smiled happily at him.

"Let's just take a picture." I said to him dropping a coin or two on the slot.

Our first three shots was a formal then a wacky shot. Liam made all sorts of faces making me crack up. I stare at him he was to busy looking at the camera and then I realize that this is the perfect opportunity. He's really worthy and I love him. Surprising us both, my lips crashed unto his planting a deep, chaste kiss. Still surprised at my sudden action, he gently kissed me back.

"Happy Birthday." I whispered near his lips.

"Are you serious?" He queries me, puzzled though a glint of happiness is evident on his face.
