Perrie had gotten plenty of compliments on her outfit the next day, and she felt rather uncomfortable seeing all the eyes staring at her. She hugged her books closer to her chest, and hurried off to her class.

~*~*~

Saturday came sooner than they all thought, and Perrie was now over at Jesy's house getting ready. The plan was, that Jade and Leigh-Anne would come and pick Jesy up, and Zayn would pick Perrie up. Jesy laughed as Perrie tried to style her hair in a braid, but failed miserably.

"Why don't you just leave it down?" She asked, helping Perrie with her hair.

"Because, down is boring. I want it up and out of my face." Perrie answered, throwing down a bobby-pin. Truth was, she wanted to put in a bit of an extra effort for Zayn, not that she needed to or anything, she just wanted to.

"Your hair looks lovely down, though." Jesy replied, finishing off the braid and tying it up with a thin hair tie.

"I don't think so.." Perrie trailed off, smiling once she saw her hair.

"All good?" Jesy asked.

"Yeah, when did the girls say they'd get here?"

"Soon, wait, that might be them now." Jesy said, leaving the room and heading downstairs. Perrie looked at herself in the full length mirror when she was alone in the room. She sighed, but then smiled. She's happy that she's finally getting out and about with her friends instead of always declining those trips to the shops or to the movies.

"Perrie! Get your ass down here! It's your boyfrie- it's Zayn!" Jesy laughed, and Perrie heard Zayn scold her from the front door. Perrie instantly lit up, and she was walking down those stairs as fast as she could that didn't make it seem like she was in a rush.

"Zayn!" She said excitedly, walking into his arms to give him a hug. It was becoming routine now, whenever they see each other, they hug. It was awkward at first, but now its like their second nature.

"Hello, love. You're looking beautiful, as always." Zayn complimented, making Perrie blush. "You ready?"

"Yeah, see you there, Jesy?" She asked, and Jesy nodded.

"The girls should be here any minute, you guys go ahead. We'll meet at the Ferris Wheel?" Jesy asked the pair, who started nodding in confirmation.

"We'll see you there." Perrie said, saying goodbye and walking out the door, hand in hand with Zayn.

~*~*~

"Where's the Ferris Wheel?" Perrie asked, too distracted by all the people to notice the big wheel right in front of their eyes.

"We're here, Perrie. Look up." Zayn said, chuckling.

"Oh!" Perrie gasped, looking up and blushing in embarrassment.

"It's alright, love." Zayn laughed, pulling her in for an intimate hug.

"Hey, lovebirds! Over here!" They heard Jade call out, and pulled away from one another to see the girls and their boyfriends, all paired up together and walking hand in hand.

Perrie laughed. "Hey!"

"How long have you been there?" Jesy asked.

"Not long, a few minutes." Perrie replied.

"You two were getting cosy!" Jesy said, earning a slap on the arm from Perrie.

"Can we go on the rides now?" She asked, to which they all nodded and they headed off their separate ways.

Zayn secretly decided that they would go on the Ferris Wheel later, when its more darker. He wanted to show Perrie all the pretty lights you could see from the top, coming from the CBD of London. Yes, it was a cliche idea, but Zayn was a romantic type of guy, even though he might not show it.
