Love Me Like You Do - A Zayn Malik AU

Chapter Twenty-five

Today is a busy day. It is currently the fourteenth of April. On the 17th of April is the day of the graduation and prom. The day after we are flying to Thailand. I walk towards my walk-in-closet and get out my suitcase. I put in all my summer clothes. We are going for five days. I pack dresses, shorts, bikinis, one play suit, a few light fabric shirts and a night gown. For shoes some slippers, sandals, a pair of heels and sneakers. I then pack the toiletries and underwear. We will be gone from the 18th of April till the 22nd of April.

When I am done, I fall down on my bed. The prom dress still needs to be bought. I get out my iPad and then search for some dresses. When I have looked for some, I walk downstairs.

There is coffee made by Ally. I pour some in and then my iPhone rings. "Hello, with Renee de Bruin." Oh my god. "Hi, Nina DeLafayette speaking." I say in a I hope not to nervous tone. "We have spoken about DeLafayette Vogue with our stores in Amsterdam." He takes a minute of silence. "We are agreeing on the deal." He says. "Thank you very much." I say. "I would like to invite you for a meeting on the 25th of April." He says. "Okay and thank you again."

I smile when he has hung up the phone. I call Zayn and tell him the news. He reacts exited as I explain the story.

The afternoon goes fast, I still need to call the location of the wedding in Spain. I dial the number that is on the website and then call. Luckily, I can speak English with the lady on the Phone since my Spanish is awfully bad. I would see if it was still available and then pay the price of the location. The ceremony and wedding party will be held in Spain. The ceremony will be held on the beach, after that it will be held in a castle not far away from that. All the guests are allowed to overnight there. If everything goes as planned of course. When I have checked everything and have booked, I decide to go to Juices and Bagels. I order a fruit smoothie and then sit down behind the bar. There is anacceptation mail for the location and I smile. The location was all well and ready but just needed to be paid for. Rose and Lance would do the beach part of the wedding.

I sigh and then check my iPhone. I smile when I see Jack. "Are you alright?" He asks me interested as he sets down my order. "How is that prince of yours?" He asks me as he wipes his hands of on his shirt and then sits down next to me. That question made people turned to me. "Good."I say kind of trying to ignore the awkward situation.

When I am done with my drink, I go back home. I run upstairs and get changed. Emma and I have decided to meet up at her house. I change into a striped black/white skirt with a black tank top that has silver detailing on the straps and the collar. I curl my hair and then put on my flats.

There hangs a delicious smell in the kitchen. "Nathalia?" I get no reaction. "Ally?" I walk further and then see Jacob in the kitchen with Rose. "Hey." I look at him and then walk towards the stove. "Jacob, are you cooking?" He doesn't say anything since he is reading in a cook book.

"He is having a romantic surprise dinner for his girlfriend." Rose says teasingly as she puts a lid on the pot that is boiling. I smile. "I think this is my cue to leave the house." I say with a smile as I say good bye and wish him good luck as I exit the house.

I go over to Emma her house. "Movie or drink?" She asks when I am seated on the couch. "Drink." I say with a smile. She picks up her phone and see that she is typing away as her fingers race over the keys of her phone. "Who are you texting?" I ask her as I look at her. "Who do you think?" She says with a creepy smirk on her face. I don't get the hint. I give her a questioning look and then she smiles. "People." She says.

"We need more red cups." She says opening the kitchen cupboards as she moves her hips to the bass of the music. "Isn't this enough already?" I ask looking at all the red cups that are stacked already on the dinner table. "No." She says. I really don't get it anymore. "When you said people, how many were you talking about?" I ask in a serious tone. "Nina, don't worry it will be fun."

People are standing in little groups. Some of five people and some of four or even seven. I take a drink of the red cup as I look at all the different type of people. The people that get wasted, the girls who throw themselves over boys that are stripping out of their shirts, the girls in way to short dresses and look like they have just fell into a makeup case. The shy boys who bring their new girlfriends with them to introduce them to their friends for the first time.

I am standing against the wall, playing with the red cup in my hand. "Everything okay?" I ask him as he leans to the wall. "Yes." He nods and then looks at me. "Sure?"
I nod. "Yes."

The night is long but very fun. Everybody has had a good time and catches up with each other as the night flies by...
