Living life .. A Zayn malik fan fiction

Family ties

Zayn leaves leaving my mother sit in the kitchen whilst I quickly shower .
Mom has asked us to attend a family dinner tonight in a new Italian restaurant which has just opened up .

He's gone home to change and meet us back here . I can't believe my mother opened up to Zayn .
She's not much of a deep down talker she's a bit like myself .
I know Zayn is dying to tell me off for not telling him but I made a quick exit leaving him still a little dumbfounded in the kitchen .

I change into my black chinos and leather blazer . I have my hair down and left it curly , pulling back the top half and into a bobby pin .
I hear Zayn pulling up again so I grab my heels and run to Greet him at the door .
Dad is already there to meet him.
"Hey "I call out from the top of the stairs .
"Hey " he smiles back before Dad motions him to the lounge room .

"Drink before we leave ? I'm driving tonight I have an early start but you kids have a drink " Dad beckons to us handing us a glass of wine .
I spy Zayn with the corner of my eye as he sips it . He doesn't make the face this time but instead winks at me .
It's a sweet wine and I think he can manage this one .

"Oh wine , Pour us a glass love " Mom says still fiddling with her bracelet .
"Come here il tie that for you " I suggest and she breaths out frustrated.
"It's a curse but its Devine . You look really pretty tonight Skylar I love when your hair is off your face I can see those blue eyes " she coos and I roll my eyes at her .
"There grey mom " I reply
"There blue " she answers back stubbornly .
"What colour are my eyes " I ask Zayn and he holds his hands up in defence .
"Dad ?"
"I'm with Zayn on that one " he replies laughing .

"Ok we ready after this drink ? The others are on there way already " Mom says tallying around us grabbing her phone and purse .
"Give the kids a chance to have a drink" Dad moans shaking his head at her bossiness .

"Drink up kid " I whisper to Zayn and he laughs out loud .

We jump into the car with Zayn and I in the back . He takes my hand in his squeezing it as mom and dad bicker amongst themselves .

"There's a red light up here " mom tells Dad .
"I see this one too love " Dad replies smiling at her with the corner of his mouth .

"You get used to it " I tell him referring to my parents .
"Get used to what ?" mom snaps .
"Oh nothing" I reply laughing with Zayn .

Mom and Dad always bicker but it's only banter ,it's quite entertaining to watch .

We pull up to the restaurant and like Dad had promised its a corner secluded table and Zayn and I are very grateful .
The rest of the family are waiting on us like we knew they would be .
It's nice to have us all together proper for a family meal .
The boys catch up over beers while us girls trade gossip over a bottle of wine.

"Excuse me , may I please get a picture with you and Zayn please " a voice calls from behind me and I bite my tongue before turning around .

"Il do you a deal ? You can get a picture with us if you hold off on tweeting anything for at least 2 hours " I suggest and she hurriedly agrees .
We take a picture with her before ordering our Italian .

"So I hear you are going to NewYork with the boys ?" mom says
"How do you know he asked me like .. What .. 4 hours ago ?" I reply confused.

"It was planned and put in the books 5 days ago " she says looking from Zayn and I .

"These things need preplanning .i put it forward a week ago " Zayn explains and I'm suddenly overwhelmed that he had preplanned this and it wasn't just to butter me up after our huge fight .

"I'm sooooo excited . For once I'm the guest in NewYork and not pulled here and there " I reply .
"You will be pulled here and there " mom replies raising an eyebrow at me
"Yea but il be with Zayn " I smile into my pasta . He reaches his hand across and squeezes my thigh .

After dinner Dad takes us all to bar for a night cap .
Zayn and I are stood by the pillar as Dad hands us drinks .
"Why didn't you tell me ?" he asks
"Tell you what ?" I reply
"About your mom and that you should of had a twin " he says like it was an obvious question .
"I guess it never came up " I shrug
"It didn't have to come up , you could of told me . There's a lot I feel I'm still learning about you " he says
"I guess I should of but like I said it never came up . Sorry " I reply and kiss his cheek .
"Any thing else about you that I don't know ?" he asks
"Not that I can think of but il be sure you tell you if I remember " I reply smiling cheekily at him .
He shakes his head and wraps his arm around my waist leading us to a table the join the others .

"Oh I had a dog when I was younger , a husky his name was Wolfe and he died from old age but he was special to me , very special " I tell Zayn quietly .

"Is that what your doing now ? going thru everything in your head ?" he laughs
I nod and he laughs .
"Well I'm sorry to hear about Wolfe " he replies and kisses the corner of my mouth .

Conversation flows into Dan and Ricky's wedding plans but there's no date set yet .

I really hope Zayn is here for it and not in the middle of a tour because that would suck ...
