"Come on!" Zayn said loading up his backpack and swinging it over his shoulder. While I stood in the sun that was setting behind the clouds.

The sky painted a lilac variation as the clouds gathered around the pink sun that was sinking into the sky slowly. The fall breeze settling in our young bones as I stood with a smirk planted onto my face.

"Come where?" I asked him looking down at my worn out black converse. These shoes had been on more adventures than I could count, causing them to wear.

"An adventure." Zayn said smiling putting his hand out for me to take. All that was left to do was take his hand and follow him to wherever he had in mind.

"How do I know your not some weirdo who is going to throw me in the trunk of his car and kidnap me?" I asked him with an arched brow moving strands of hairs away from my face. A smirk washing up against my lips as I saw him chuckle and move his hand down his scruffy chin.

"I guess you'll just have to trust me than, won't you?" Zayn said reaching out his hand again to me moving my gaze down and gently laying my smaller one in his. Biting my lip with a small wiping at my face I followed him with his warm hands attached to mine.

"So where does our adventure begin?" I asked Zayn once the song died down in the jeep I had been more than thrilled to ride in. My hair flew around with free range with the wind exploring the thick strands that blew around wildly.

"Hasn't it already?" Zayn asked me keeping his eyes on the rode that was darkening along with the pink and purple colored sky. The sun hiding behind a few clouds that were gathering in clusters.

"You know, I have never met someone as mysterious as you." I told Zayn as I saw his magnetic smirk play on lips. They curled up reminding me of when we were in the pool and shared a victory kiss. I hadn't expected things to move along so quickly wit Zayn but they had and I wasn't about to complain. This was the first official date Zayn and I were going on and it seemed to be a spur of the moment type deal. Nothing was planned between us, everything happened in the moment.

"And I have never met a girl as wild as you." Zayn responded going up a winding road that lead upwards. Little houses and apartments passing the further we went up the winding street.

"You know people tell me that but I don't see it. What makes me wild in the eyes of the onlookers?" I asked Zayn turning in my seat to face him as a nice fall breeze ran across my face.

"What kind of girl asks her gardener to get in the pool with her and races him for a kiss? Not to mention that online gossip site is basically a portfolio of your life." I was surprised he had gone so far as to find Gigi. He was 19 and graduated yet he took the time to look me up on the gossip website.

"Wow hold up!" I dropped my jaw looking at Zayn whose eyes were glued to the road. "You looked me up on Gigi?!"

"I was curious about you." Zayn shrugged bringing out his bottom lip. His eye lashes ran for miles and shelter his pure brown eyes that held so many mysteries one could not count.

"So what did you find?" I asked him seeing that we were coming to the top of the hill.

"I found everything that everyone else has seen but I don't think this website is what the real people see." Zayn kills the ignition and turned his gaze over to me. My reflection glowing in his dark eyes that were easy to get lost in.

"And what do the real people see?"

"Everything that the others can't." Zayn answered keeping a long gaze before hoping out of the jeep while I followed suit. I walked closely next to him as he lead me to the point of the mountain where a good portion of the city was visible. The sun and it's pink tint more clear now that the buildings weren't bothering our view.

"It's so beautiful up here, how did you find this place?" My eyes stayed focused on the sun that was sinking every minute further into the clouds. The sky looked as though someone had physically painted over it with a mixture of lilac and pink. The color schemes pulling me into a fascination as we both watched the sun fade away.

"My mum used to bring me up here when I tended to lose perspective on things. We would sit in the car and watch the sun set until I felt better." My hand consciously inching for Zayn's until I felt him hold mine in his.

"You're lucky you know." I responded holding a certain sadness in my heart from Zayn's story about his mom. I longed for a relationship like that from one of my parents.

"Why do you say that?" Zayn asked me turning his gaze from the darkening sky to me. I closed my eyes and look a glance at the ground before opening my mouth to respond.

"You have parents that care about you. Don't take that for granted." I give a weak smile that faded just as quickly as it appeared.

"Your parents care, just in a different way. It may be unorthodox but at least they care."

"They care about a lot of things but I am not one of them. It's okay if you don't understand, it's hard for anyone to." I shook my head not wanting to dive into this haunting topic that followed me wherever I went. "Anyway it doesn't matter."

Locking my hand with Zayn's out eyes drew to the sun set that was burning low until there was nothing but scattered stars and a dark blue canvas. The fall air brushing up against us and causing my cheeks to color over a rosy flush from the cold.

Folding my arms and taking my hand away from Zayn's I leaned up against him and laid my head on his shoulder. We didn't need pointless small talk, we were comfortable in the silence that played out against the night.

Is Queen K two timing? At any rate it looks like she's got the best of both worlds. With H and Z wrapped around her finger it seems as though she has complete control.
