Love to all my dear friends who are presently reading this book....

ZAYN'S P.O.V.

"Don't you dare put the blame on Liam..." Stephanie roared like a lioness.

"You were the one who told it's totally safe to come here. You all wouldn't be recognized with your disguises...god who call it as a disguise! Just a toothbrush mustache and beggar clothes, it will call even more attention. Stop dragging Liam with everything and anything that says - responsibility." She pointed her index finger at Lou threateningly. Even Louis' mouth was shut and his eyes wide open.

"Don't mind my friend here...she's a cyclone." Olivia took a hold of Stephanie's elbow and gave her a look full of warning.

"I just don't know anything tell him not to mess up with Liam for no reason..." She shrugged getting annoyed and marched now, more faster than all of us. I gave a look to Liam and he gave me a look full of amazement.

"Liam ....you got a free lawyer" I hissed, smirking. He rolled his eyes and everyone laughed.

"Lawyer cum bodyguard" Olivia patted Liam on his other side.

We all were literally covering our face dressed in these horrendous clothes, Olivia was right, we are catching more attention. Few people were examining us as if we are downright from the jungles of Africa.

"Ohhhhhh MYYYYY ......." Olivia stopped right in front of a big ...what looks like a library to me. She freeze on her tracks devouring the big board of World of Books with her coffee brown eyes, like it was a corn and peas subway burger.

"Let's get to some other place guys...." Stephanie shouted.

"Come on! Come on! This way...." Louis shouted almost at the same time and earned a mischievous smirk from Stephanie. I glanced towards all of them but till the time I can say something to stop all of them, Olivia disappeared from my side. Jesus! why this girl isn't born with a tracker...so at least I come to know where she is. After almost 10 minutes of hard labor I finally found her.

"Thank god! Here...You....Are..." I panted seeing her back, she has something in her hand as she is facing the other direction.

"Olivia...can you hear me?" I asked her coming a bit closer, she didn't even turn back...what this girl is upto?

"Are you even alive?" I tapped on her shoulder gently, she didn't even budge...what's the matter? To see what's on the other side that appeals to her so much, I quietly tip-toe through the narrow book racks and by taking a full on round of that dumb narrow rack....I'm finally able to see her, sideways...

She's grinning like a madman, a thick and old sort of something... Oh yeah - book, in her hands. She is turning its pages so gently that I'm confused, whether its a novel or the holy Bible. She looks at it, narrows her eyes on a sentence, exclaims and chuckles loudly... It's damn hard not to laugh.

She is startled and jumps a foot high, finally when her mind registers that I'm here.

"Zayn...what are you doing here?" She folds her hands across her chest, eying me skeptically. She tries to look all bold and tough but fails miserably, instead she looks... adorable...

"That's my question to ask.." I raise my right eyebrow, pointing towards that old book in her hands.

"Why are you behaving more insane than often" I retort, chuckling at her silly behavior. With the word 'insane' there is an emotion that flickers for a second in her coffee beans like eye. She looked shocked.. Hurt...all of a sudden and in no time she looks down and compose herself.

"Oh right..I'm being silly, its just...um..I just, I shouldn't be so obsessed with these books" She pretended to fake a smile, getting embarrassed of her love for books. In no time her hands clutched the cover nervously, her acting skills can fool anybody, but not me. Her body language says more every time, and as I observe every little thing of this girl, its more easier.....

"I should just keep it aside. Oh! Where are the others, let's go." She act as if that book which made her so happy doesn't hold any significance now..but I know better. I don't know what made me to do that, may be her happiness, but as soon as she decides to put the copy of pride and prejudice back, I step even more closer to her. I come in between the shelf where the book was kept and her as I hold both of her wrists, stopping her. She gasped and her eyes widen as I place both my hands atop hers, in the process of grabbing the book. Now there is only a book distance in between both of us.

"You can't just run away from what you are and what you like...this is all that makes you...Olivia." I tell her looking straight into her gentle eyes.

"But many people don't think that-" she looked down in defeat as she says, but I place my finger on her pink, soft lips...

"Stop it... That's not the Olivia which I know.." The words come out of my mouth without my mind's permission as I look deep into her beautiful eyes.

I know these words will affect her, and to my surprise, they sure do. There is a twinkle in her small eyes, which gets more smaller when she smiles with so much emotions, those which I can't decipher now. I like this smile, I like making her happy... God! I like her...so damn much... I quickly detach my hands from hers and stand straighter.

"Actually... Its an old edition of the book which I'm in love with." Her eyes scan the cover lovingly, as she bites her bottom lip that attracts me towards her even more...and more... I'm truly mad for her.

"Special ...it is..." I say, if a special girl like her could love it than it ought to be...

"Yes....to me." She says in a whisper, liking my response very much.

"Like you..." I say smiling at her beautiful face.

"I'm no special Zayn.." She shakes her head, chuckling.
"I'm just an ordinary..." She adds.

"That's what makes you special..." I say coming a bit more closer to her, her breath hitched as she looks puzzled by my actions as well as words....don't ask me anything as I'm puzzled too by my own actions.

"Nobody ever told me anything like this..." She marvels with ecstasy, looking in my eyes at a whole different state of surprise...

"Well, consider them blind..." I say caressing her cheek ever so slightly.

"You're beyond beautiful...." I muse coming a bit more closer to her, she never fails to attract me..

She is surprised by my gesture, takes a step back and blushes furiously while looking at her feet.

"I think um... We...we must take this book..." I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly taking a step back myself. I snatch the novel from her hand and rush to the cashier, ready to get her whatever makes her this happy. I'm falling for her truly...madly...deeply

Hi friends...this chapter is special...for Zayn and Olivia moments... There would be more and more of their blossoming romance in the next chapter...
