Love Me Like You Do - A Zayn Malik AU

Chapter Twenty-two

I had set my alarm. Zayn brought me home late last night. I slept so well. My iPhone gives a ring and I grab it from the nightstand. The designs of DeLafayette Vogue, have to be due tomorrow which means I have to design for the rest of the day.

I walk in to my closet and pick out a white blouse, a blue blazer and a pair of black jeans. I step into my favorite shoes ever: Nike Air Max 1 Premium in Gamma Grey and run downstairs. The breakfast is still on the table. I sit down and pour in some tea. I take some food in my plate and start enjoying it. Ally walks inside the living room. "Good morning." She says as she corrects the pillows on the couch. She folds the throw blanket and lays it down on the side of the couch.

I brush my teeth and walk to the office downstairs. I open the door and enter the room. I sit down behind the desk and open my laptop. I get the headphones out of my desk drawer and put them on my head, put on music and then start designing. The grey purse, the hot pink wallet, the lace high heels and the camouflage green jacket with the silver buttons.

I walk past dad's office and step inside when I hear my name being called. "You have past the exams." I smile at him and give him a hug.

A couple of days ago, I have decided on London University of Culture and Arts.

"Shall we sign you up?" He asks me with a smile. I nod and sit down next to him so I can look along with him. I smile since I know that Emma is applying for the same university as me. We fill in the documents. I can already decide on the subjects. I have chosen: Fashion and Design.

I smile when the whole sign up is complete. Now wait for the acceptation. Father has tears in his eyes. Please, don't do this. "I will still come home." I say. "I know, I know." He says.

I walk back towards my office and sit down behind the white wooden desk. Picking out the designs and materials are hard. The colors are the hardest part of all. I make some more design. My favorite is the matt black heels with the red inside. I call the material designer and give him my orders for the designs.

I save the designs and make a backup. I shut my laptop and then walk out the front door of the house. I make my way to the corner of the street and enter Juices & Bagels.

When I walk over to the counter and see Jared standing behind the cash register, I smile. "Hello, what can I get you?" He asks and smiles back at me. "Strawberry and banana smoothie, please." I order. I sit down on the bar stools behind the counter.

When the glass is empty, I set it down and pay Jared. "Bye." I say and stand up. "Bye." He says and smiles. I walk outside and go home. My iPhone gets a message.

Come over to mine, have a good idea!

It is from Grayson, Lily her boyfriend. I put my iPhone in my pocket. Walking out the exit, I see Devon busy on his phone. "Hello." He says when he sees me. He opens the front of the car and looks at me. "Step in." He says. "Where is the ride going to?" He asks me when he is seated too.
The building is an apartment complex in the city of London. He lets me in by pressing on the button in his apartment to open the door. Luckily, a man walks towards the elevator and I can step inside. I press the button with the '6' and wait until I reach the floor.

The door gets opened by Grayson and I step inside the flat.
I see Lily and Zayn sitting in the living room. I smile and give them both a hug. "What is up?" I ask looking at Zayn and Lily. Grayson sits down next to his girlfriend and smiles at the group. "What is your thought about us going on a holiday together?" He says with a bright smile as he looks around to see our expressions and reaction on his suggestion. I smile brightly and reacts very exited to his question. I nod.
Lily reacts the same way as Zayn is still thinking. "Mate, we have graduated and are free for a few weeks. Get your royal brains to work." Grayson says with a laugh as Zayn nods. "You are so right." Zayn says, I give him a hug. We search for the perfect location. "Spain?" Zayn says suggesting. "Italy?" Lily asks as she puts her hair up into a ponytail. "Thailand?" I ask. Everybody reacts exited. "This vacation will be awesome." Lily says already dreaming off about the trip.

We have booked an all in resort with private cabins. The cabins are to my surprise large. We have booked two. One for Lily and Grayson and one for Zayn and I.

When all the tickets and cabins are booked. We look at each other and smile. This is going to be the first vacation together with the four of us and my first one with Zayn. Of course, I have been on vacations with Lily before but I am kind of curious how this one will turn out.

We eat some snacks while we watch some TV. Zayn then leaves since he had some work to do. His chauffeur also drops me of at the hotel.

The hotel is crowded with workers. Some people are measuring the sizes of the doors and the walls for the wallpapers for the new decor of the hotel.

I see Rose and her friend Tiffany sitting in the hotel. "Hello." Rose says as she smiles at me. "Hi." We talk a little and then I head to father's office. I had a file still needed to be read by me. I read through the files and fill in some notes when there is a knock heard on the door. "Please, Enter." I say and Julian enters the room. "How can I help you?" I ask him with a smile.

He looks nervous but asks if he is allowed to have a few days off from work. He has a family weekend. I nod. "Of course." I say. He looks at me with a smile. "Thank you." He says. He says the dates of the week down on a piece of paper and then he leaves.

I work on some things on the laptop and then leave the office.

Sitting on the couch, I feel like having some wine. "Hello." Rose says happy as she walks in the room. "Hi." I hold up a glass for her and she nods. I pour in. "What's wrong?" I say as she sits down with a sigh. Frowning as she gets a text. She leans with her elbow on the side of the couch. She looks away but then looks at me.

"Lance and I would go out and have a nice day, just the two of us together." She starts. "But mister Fletcher is too busy." She says.

After hours of talking, we decide to have some dinner made by Ally. "Here you go girls." She says setting down the delicious looking food.

We eat and focus on the good things. When we are done with dinner, she leaves.

The table gets cleaned up as I walk upstairs...
