Strong (Zerrie FanFiction)

Chapter 4

Zayn's Pov

    We were driving to the Skating Center. I scheduled it and reserved the skating lot for us. Don't tell Perrie, but I gave the manager $30.00 in order for this arrangement to work. He closed it down at 6:00 and then he would let us in. We finally got there...

"Here we are!!" I said.

"Cool, where is evryone?" Perrie asked, I still hadn't explained the concept to her.

"Well, I kinda, sorta reserved the skating rink so it is just the two of us..." I said, scratching the back of my head.

"Awwww that's so swee- Zayn, that better not have cost extra-money!!" Perrie scolded me.

"Pssff, of course not... being famous can get you anywhere" I lied.

"Oh ok, well if you are lying to me Malik, I will hurt you..." Perrie said, playfully punching me.

"Pfftttt, of course not!! Now shall we?" Zayn said, grabbing a hold of my arm.

Perrie's Pov   

    We quickly walked to the front of the Skating Rink. The door had a "closed" sign on it. Zayn guided me towards the back of the skating rink and we entered through the back door. The manager greeted us.

"Why Hello there, you must be Mr. Malik and Ms.Edwards." the manager said. He was in the mid-twenties.

"Yes, as a matter of fact we are..." Zayn said, shaking hands with him.

"Ok, well my name is Tim, follow me to the rink..." Tim said, guiding us towards a door. 

    We followed him inside the two doors and there before us, was a large skating rink... almost the size of a football field! I would've never guessed that it was this big!!! From the outside, it looked pretty tiny....

"Woah, Zayn... this skating rink is sooo cool!" I beamed.

"Yep, I tried my best to make this date perfect..." Zayn said, looking at his shoes.

I blushed. No guy has ever done something like this for me before. 

"Aww Zayn! Thanks a million! This date has been magical so far! Now... let's go skating!" I said, grabbing a hold of Zayn's hand and tugging him towards the counter. We got 2 ice skating shoes and headed out. I was pretty scared, I haven't gone Ice Skating in a long time! I used to Ice skate a lot, but not anymore....

    The minute I touched the ice, I came flying. I don't know, I just lost balance. I hit my butt really hard on the Ice, and it was starting to sting.

"Ouch!" I said, trying to get up, but losing my balance.

"Here..." Zayn said, skating towards me and helping me up. 

"Thanks!" I said, as I managed to balance.

"Here, hold my hand... I'll guide you.." Zayn said, intwining our fingers. 

"Thanks!!" I said, holding his hand an squeezing it.

It felt like our hands were made for each other, like Zayn was the puzzle piece that I was missing in my life. Sure, I had everything... A wonderful family, the bestest of friends, a great singing career, but I am missing a boy.... I needed Zayn...

"Perrie?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Um.. Um... w-" Zayn stuttered.

"Yes Zayn?" I asked, stopping him, so we were at the edge of the skating rink and I could manage to hold the railings. I faced him.... I looked into his eyes.... his cute puppy brown eyes.. They were so mesmerizing.

"Um... well... I was wondering..." Zayn said, scratching the back of his neck.

I just continued to stare into his puppy eyes. It was like I was hypnotized.... like I could stare into his eyes all day. 

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he blurted out, playing with his fingers.

I could tell that he was nervous.

"Yes!" I said.

"Really?" Zayn asked, scratching the back of his neck.. like he was uncertain.

"Yeah, why are you you surprised?" I asked him... not knowing where this would end up.

"Well okay then, I guess you wouldn't mind me doing this then..." Zayn said, connecting his lips into mine.

His lips were so soft, almost welcoming. We stayed at that position for about a minute.

"Wow." I said, shocked at what had just happened.

"I'm sorry... was that too early?" Zayn asked, nervously.

I just chuckled.

"No.... that was perfect timing" I said, smiling at him.
