A Collection Dedicated To One Direction (Bk 2)

Vain Times (Zayn Short Story 4 Valentine)

Was  I a good date? Did I groom enough?

"Come on" Niall said his head through my door "we are already late, your look fine Zayn, your date awaits"

I bit back my emotions and took tow behind Niall.

"Don't feel down in the dumps" Niall told me "Belinda is the best of the best"

"I don't doubt that, its just me am I good enough?" I forced him to stop and turn around.

"Your the best groomer out of all of us, and I'm sure she won't be looking at your clothes, more your personality Zayn" he told me.

I thought Niall was right and relaxed a little bit.

I sat up in a booth with a brown haired girl with blue eyes.

"Hi I'm Belinda" she told me "nice to meet you"

My voice caught in my throat "ahhh I'm Zayn"

We shook hands.

"So, what would you like to eat?" she asked.

"ahhh, I don't mind" I told her, I instantly ran fingers through my hair.

"Drink?" she asked.

"Ahhh coke" I told her.

She picked up on my nervousness but didn't say much of it.

We drank coke, and looked around at the other couples, holding hands over a table lit dinner.

I brushed fingers through my hair again so looked intently but didn't say anything about it.

We sat in silence for quite a while, we ate dinner, and she started a slow conversation about what I liked.

“I like um” I was lost for what to say.

“You like music?” she asked.

“Yea” I told her.

“Cool I like music” she told me.

“Sorry I’m so boring” I told her.

“Your not boring” she told me.

“I just don’t know what to say,” I told her.

“Neither do” I she admitted.

I smiled at her “Thanks for understanding”

“So you were late can I ask why?” she asked.

I smiled and hoped to make humor of the situation. I slid out my pocket mirror and handed it to her.

She grinned “Don’t mind if I do” and she took out lip-gloss and applied it holding my mirror to get the reflection of her lips.

I smiled, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Girls are vain to” she told me “I know the drill”

I smiled “It’s been nice to have someone understand me” I told her.

“Yea same Mr Zayn” she kissed my cheek.

I blushed at her lips on my cheek.

“I’ll see you around won’t I Bel?” I asked.

“Sure how bout tomorrow?” she asked.

I liked the way she was inviting herself round.

“Sure” I told her “it was a nice dinner”

“Same, nice company” she told me.

“I don’t kiss on the first date,” I admitted.

 “Neither do I” she smiled “I tend to kiss cheeks”

I just smiled “See you round Bel” I told her.

“I see you round at yours Zayn” she winked and she was gone, swinging her coat over her bare arms, and slapping down money on the counter for her meal. I was baffled she was so much like me, so indirect so funny, so cool. I liked that and I couldn’t wait to see her the very next day.
