We will meet again

Chapter 31

A couple weeks later back in London...

" My feet are killing me." I said as I slumped into a chair. Zayn made me join him every morning on his 5 miles run. I wasn't a fan of it at first but now I'm doing pretty good. Well, except for the hurting feet.

"Why don't you go upstairs and have a bath. I have some calls to make but I'll join you soon." He said and peeked me on the lips.

I was curious to see what kind of business he had to do on his downtime but the bath sounded too tempting. I walsed upstairs and undressed while waiting for the tub to fill.

Meanwhile downstairs...

"You got it? Awesome. Thanks, bruh!" He held the phone close to his ear and whispered as much as he could.

"No, she has no idea. It'll be a huge surprise! I owe you man, take care. Bye."

He hung up and rushed upstairs. He undressed on the way and when he stood in front of the bathtub he was wearing nothing except for that wide grin on his face.

Two weeks later... Aly's birthday.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up. We got a lot planned for today."

"Zayn, no. Let me sleep!"

"Not an option, babe. C'mon, we have plans."

"My plans include me staying in this bed all day. I like my plan."

"You'll like mine better! Please. Get up. We're gonna be late."

I slowly opened my eyes and smiled content. "What did you plan?"

"It's a surprise, I can't tell you." He smirked and leaned down to kiss me. "But the sooner you get out of bed, the sooner you will know!"

That was good enough for me! I pulled the covers off me and relucantly made my way out of the cozy warm bed. An hour later I had showered and was dressed in jeans and a sweater.

Zayn was downstairs, apparently making breakfast, since I heard a lot of clatter coming from the kitchen.

"I made you your favorite breakfast." He said proudly and I looked down at my plate. Egg white omelett and bacon. How did he know?

Before I could ask him that question out loud the back door opened and Sophie stormed in.

"Surprise!"

"Soph! OMG! What are you doing here?"

"I'm part of the birthday committee." She simply said while she rushed over to hug me.

She let go of me and took her phone out. "I need to get a hold of Harry. I'll see you later." And with that she disappeared again.

"I can't help but think that this was just the first of many surprises."

Zayn didn't answer, just sat there and smiled.

We came back home later that afternoon with a puppy. Zayn insisted on getting me one after I saw a couple with a cute puppy walking past us. It was the sweetest thing!

"You know usually I get cards and a cake for my birthday."

"I'm afraid that wouldn't be special enough."

"So, what are we doing next?"

"You really think I'd tell you? Why don't you go upstairs and change. There's something waiting for you on the bed."

I furrowed my eyebrows but quickly rushed up the stairs. I entered our bedroom and there was a giant box lying on the bed. One of those that have these beautiful gowns inside.
