Chapter 5- A Stranger That I Know

"Hey I'm reading here? Care to give me my book. " I said looking at the strange guy who took my book obviously thinking it was ok to do that. But then I noticed I knew the stranger.

"Hi Soph. " He said smiling widely. I looked at my book and chuckled loudly.

"Gimme that Zayn." I said flashing him a smile and quickly snatching the book from him. He laughed and looked at the cover. All I can think is oh my god his laugh is so freakin adorable. And his eyes in the sunlight are lighter than usual. And his teeth sparkling white . And the way his hair sticks up in only one side of his head. SOPHIE SNAP OUT OF IT.

"So you like Percy Jackson? " He asked slightly smirking. I nodded and opened my book to where I left off. He looked at me and pulled out something. I looked over my shoulder to see he had a book from Uncle Rick. I smiled and let out a chuckle.

"I like coming here on my own time too. But Niall told me you were alone so I figured I'd come and keep you company. " I blushed and nudged him softly. He chuckled and looked at the bridge about 15 feet away from us and I thought of a good idea.

"I'll race you to the bridge and whoever gets there last gets us ice cream. " He nodded and counted as we sprinted off at the same time. Us being us were weird so we were screaming.

"FOR NARNIAAAAA!!!" He shouted making me chuckle.

"FOR AZGARD!!!" I shouted making us both stop at the bridge at the same time. We sat down and laughed really hard.

After talking for a bit we decided to continue reading before the sun set. While I was reading I felt him turn a bit considering our shoulders were touching. I looked at him and he nodded. I leaned my head on his shoulder and gently later my legs on his Indian style legs.

About an hour later he asked me if I wanted ice cream. I smiled big and he got up quickly giving me a hand. I thanked him and interlocked our arms. After walking a little bit he put our arms straight and grabbed my hand. After about a minute or so I interlocked our fingers. I immediately felt a spark that I couldn't resist. Like it didn't feel wrong to hold his soft, gentle hand.

"I'm going to need you to do me a favor. If anyone with a camera catches us don't look at the camera. Don't let go of my hand. And don't respond to anyone. " I noticed what he was talking about and smiled at how protective he had gotten.

We got to the ice cream polar and I ordered cookie dough and he ordered some weird flavor that I've never heard of. We went back to the park which wasn't far and sat on the bridge.

"What does you ice cream have in it?" I asked sweetly.

"It has peanuts, almonds, and chocolate. " I really wanted to try the ice cream. It looked and sounded really good.

"Do you want to try it love?" He asked and I shrugged giving him my ice cream. OH MY LORD IT WAS THE BEST ICE CREAM IVE EVER TASTED.

"What do you think?" He asked smirking.

"It's actually better than I expected it to be." He laughed and when we were done he took me home in his car.

-at my doorstep-

"Goodnight Zayn. " I mumbled and he said it back. He gave me a warm hug. I didn't let go until he did which was a long time. We just stood there as I went from hugging his neck to pulling away while wrapping my hands around his torso. He kept his hands on my hips rocking me back and forth while rubbing the end of my back softly. I smiled and inhaled the smell of the cologne on his pollo shirt.
