Once Again

Symbols

(Taylor's POV)

I love car rides, especially when they are with the most important people in your life. It's full of smiles and jokes, laughs. Overall bliss to enjoy for a limited time.

I smile in the mirror at Zayn as he plays with Olivia. She smiles and laughs at his dumb jokes. "Is he making you laugh Olive?" My mom asks with a happy face and she nods. "Daddy is funny." I snicker and Zayn gives me a glare.

"Thats right, I'm funny." He says and smirks to himself. I chuckle and say, "I think we all know that mama is the funny one." I say and point to myself and glance in the rear view mirror.

Olivia giggles and says, "mama, you and daddy are funny." I smile and Zayn fist bumps Olive. "Yeah!" He says, my mom rolls her eyes and chuckles. "Hey guys?"

I ask to all of them. Zayn looks up at me and my mom glances at me. "Wanna hear a joke?" My mom snorts. "Oh god, be prepared for the worst joke." I gasp in fake hurt. "Shut your face its gonna be funny."

My mom chuckles and I say, "okay okay, what does a nosy pepper do?" Zayn makes a confused face and I start to giggle uncontrollably. My mom rolls her eyes and then laughs hysterically. "This was Red's favorite joke you would tell him."

She smiles to herself. I look at Olive, "do you know babe?" She shakes her head no and I giggle. "Gets jalapeno business." I burst out laughing and Olivia giggles. "I don't get it mama." I chuckle and say, "that's okay baby."

Zayn laughs and says, "that was a good one." I chuckle to myself and then get off the exit for the restaurant. I hear Olivia mumbling to Zayn in the back and he smiles wide and nods then mumbles back.

I raise and eyebrow and look back to the road. "Uh oh...you two I don't like the whispering back there." I say in a joking tone. Olivia looks at me and says, "it's a surprise mama." I nod and smile.

Her and Zayn go back to planning what ever they are doing back there. I glance at my mom and hold my hand out to her and she holds it. I smile and she rubs my knuckles. "I'm hungry." I laugh at her statement.

"Well lucky for you ma. There are only two more stoplights." She nods gently and I continue on to the last stoplight and see the place across the street. "We are here."

Zayn and Olive high five and then smile. I pull into a parking place and turn the car off. We all get out and close our doors. Zayn holds Olivia on his side. We all file into the outback and I walk to the desk. I see a tall dark haired male and he looks up at me and then smiles.

"Hello welcome to the outback how can I help you." I giggle because he is actually Australian. He smiles and says, "yeah I know an Australian working at the outback." I smile and say, "I'm sorry that was rude I shouldn't have laughed."

He shakes his head with a smile. "It's okay miss. So would you like to make a reservation?" I shake my head and point to my group. "I would like a table for four please." He nods and grabs a baby menu and three adult menus.

"If you don't mind me saying that baby is adorable." I smile and say, "I know she is, she's precious thank you." He smiles and says, "how old is she?" I smile and say, "she is three already...I can't believe it she grows so fast."

He smiles and says, "it's hard to believe you're her mother." I look at him confused. "Why is that?" We walk towards them and he smirks. "Well you're young and you look fantastic." I blush slightly.

"Well thank you I appreciate that." He smiles and says, " I'm Adrian." I nod and say, "I'm Taylor." Zayn just stares at him with a stern face. Adrian leads us to our table and he places the menus down. He looks to me as my mother sits down. "Would you like a booster seat for the little one?"
