RED

There's a first for everything: Chapter 16

REDS POV:

It's Friday. The day Zayn and I's date is suppose to happen, and I honestly don't know how it even happend. How did I so easily say yes to him? I haven't a clue as to what to wear, say, or even what a date is For that matter! Here I am sitting in my bed trying to think of what to wear, when on Que (of course) Shelby walks in.

"What are you doing, just sitting there? Your date is in like 3 hours?"

"I don't even know what to wear... Or even up on make up for that matter.." I say very monotone like.

She stands there for what seems like ages just staring back at me. "Well there's a first for everything, let's get started shall we?"

"Whaaa?"

"Come on! Get up, we are going to make you look perfect!"

"Shelby. It's just one date. Nothing to extravagant! I can't believe I even said yes. I'm pretty much braking the rules. I should just cancel. Yeah, I'll call him."

"No! God, Red, it's just a date! Okay! Just. A date. Chill out!" She yells at me in her Italian accent. Wow. I didn't know she had that in her..

I nod. She sighs, "alright let's get started."

*2 1/2 hours later*

"Okaaay, I am done. You can look now." She says satisfied. I turn around to look into the mirror. And boy did she do good. 2 minutes later there a knock at the door. I sit up straight. Shelby laughs, "Would you calm down? It's just Zayn?"

"Right," I sigh, "it's just Zayn." I gather me composure and stand up to walk to the door. I open it to reveal "Harry?!?"

"Woah, you look great Red!" He states.

"Harry get out of the way mate, let me see he-" he stoped midsentence when he sees me and stares at me weirdly.

"What?! Do I really look that bad?" I say and coward an inch back. "NO! No. Red, you look.. You look beautiful!" He says while walking closer, "but uhh we should umm, get going."

"Uhh yeah let me just grab my wallet, and uhh Harry what are you doing here?"

"Yeah what are you doing here?" Shelby asks from behind me.

"Well, since I heard you too were going out tonight. I thought why not hang out with Shelby since she'll be alone as well."

"Ohhh," I look at Shelby and give her the look. She just shrugs. "Well then we are off. See ya later."

"Later." The two say in unison.

Zayn and I walk out the door. I look around for his car but he walks straight up to a motorcycle. A motorcycle.. I gulp. "Are you coming Red?" He asks when he sees me pause. "Uhh. Y-yeah.." I stutter. Stop take a breath, your alright it's not like you haven't ridden one before. "Red? Are you um.. Okay?"

"Yeah, it's just..."

Silence..

"It's just what?" He asks worriedly.

"It's just my dad.. Umm.. He umm was uhh really into motorcycles.. And um yeah."

"Oh awesome! Id love to meet him someday! We could talk bikes sometime." He shrugs and chuckles a bit.

I look down and tear up. Everyone at the institution knew not to talk about my parents, well at least around me. Talking about them once around me is all it took.

ZAYNS POV:

She starts tearing up. What?

"Red? Are you okay? Did I say something wrong? Oh please don't cry! I'm not good with this. Please."

"No I'm okay. In fine," she wipes her tears away. "See I'm fine." She says looking down.

"O-okay, do you wanna t-talk about it?" Why'd you have to ask that? I mentally slap myself. She'd probably tell you right then if she wanted too...

"No."

"Okay.... Well, let's get going." I tell her and hold out my hand for hers. She nods and takes my hand.

-

The drive takes a while until we get to our destination. It's now a bit dark, and the lighting is just perfect for what I have in store.

"Alright you need to put this on." I say while tossing the object in my hand on her lap.

She picks it up to look at it, "A blind fold? Uhhh... No."

"Oh come on Red." I beg.

"No."

"You'll ruin what I have planned, please!!!!!"

She sighs in defeat, and puts it on.

"Where are we anyways?" She asks.

"You'll see." She grunts in reply. I just chuckle.

-

"Zayn it's been 5 minutes, when are we going to be at 'our destination'?" She puts up 4 fingers to indicate air quotes.

I laugh. It's just a few more steps "aaaand we are here." I say while backing away from her.

"Finally." She says while taking her blind fold off, and when it's off a gasp escapes her lips.
