- Hey mom, do you mind if I hang with a friend after school?
I pressed the send button and waited for her reply. School was now over for the day and Zayn was leaning against my locker.
"Can't wait, huh?" I teased.
"Oh shut up and get your bag." Zayn replied, smiling.
I swear to you, this man gives me butterflies every time he smiles. I opened my locker and put my books in my bag, then grabbed my bag and shut the locker.
"This way, my lady." Zayn said, locking his arm with mine.
We walked out of the school and to the parking lot. When we approached Zayn's car, I felt something buzz in my pocket.
I pulled out my phone and saw a text from my mom.
Sure sweetie, just don't stay out too late.
I smiled and put my phone back in my pocket.
"So where are you taking me?" I asked, as Zayn started up the car.
"Texas." Zayn replied.
"What?!" I exclaimed.
"I'm joking, love. I'm taking you out to eat." Zayn chuckled, pulling out of the parking space.
I let out a breathe of relief.
"Oh." I sighed.
"C'mon. You really thought that I was taking you to Texas?" Zayn joked, chuckling at the end.
I felt my cheeks get hot. I turned my head towards the window and mumbled,
"Maybe."
As Zayn drove, I couldn't help but glance at him from time to time.
"Is there something on my face that belongs to you?" Zayn asked.
"No." I answered, unsure.
"Then why do you keep glancing at me?" Zayn questioned.
Dang, he caught me. I tried to think of an answer but, Zayn beat me to it.
"Just admit it, you think I'm attractive." Zayn smirked.
"I-I wha-"
"It's okay. You just don't want to say it now. But one day you will." Zayn bragged, as we pulled up to a diner.
Zayn parked the car and, opened my door.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem." Zayn replied, grabbing my hand.
What's up with him and grabbing my hand? Not that I'm complaining. We walked into the diner and picked a booth.

"Thank you for taking me out." I said, while Zayn walked me to my doorstep.
"Anytime." Zayn replied.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow." I said.
"Yeah. Ummm, I was wondering if I could uh call you tonight." Zayn agreed.
"Sure. I'll put my number in your phone."
Zayn and I swapped phones and entered our numbers in. Once I put mine in, I gave Zayn back his phone and so did he.
"You better answer the phone." Zayn joked.
"Don't worry, I will." I answered, while unlocking the door.
