RED

Keeper: Chapter 17

There, in front of me was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. White drapes everywhere with twinkling lights hanging up in the trees. It was a simple picnic with a bit if a twist.

"Zayn. It's soo-"

"Oh no, you hate it don't you? Gahhhhhh! I should have done more."

"Zayn..."

"Or I should have just taken you to a nice restaurant. Damn it!!"

"Zayn!"

"I should have known you wouldn't like it! It's just I didn't wanna go all out, because I didn't know if you would like that kind of stuff.. I'm so stupid, stupid, STUP-"

"ZAYN!! Would you shut up for a sec?!?" I cut him off. He then gulps and nods.

"Now what I was going to say before you started freaking out on me was that this," I point at the scenery in front of me "is perfect."

He smiles the smile I've come pretty fond of but I'm too stubborn to admit.

"How'd you even come up with the idea?"

"My grandad and I did something like this once for my grandmum. She absolutely adored it. She always talked about it afterward. I thought maybe you'd like it too." He blushes and shrugs.

I smile. "I do love it."

"I'm glad, now come on I bet your starving." And now that he's said that he's right I am starved. I've been to concentrated on tonight I forgot to eat today. So I sit and eat what he has ready for us.

-

The whole night we talk about everything and anything.

"Oh wait just one second" he says and gets up to unplug the lights then goes for a string dangling above us, and pulls it. The drape above us falls to show the stars above.

"Woahh, did you just think of eerything?"

He chuckles "I tried." We both lay back and look up at the stars in silence. A good silence though. Until....

"Red?"

"Mmm?"

"Can I ask you something? And you promise not to get all mad and like kill me for asking?"

"Haha well, that kinda depends. What's up?"

"What happened to you tonight? You know before we got on my bike."

I stay silent for a moment trying to gather all my thoughts. Then I speak up.

"You know... How I told you how my dad used to ride?"

"Yeah?"

"Well when I say 'used to'," I pause to swallow the tears threatening to spill out.

He then grabs my hand and squeezes "You don't have to finish. I get it. I'm soo sorry Red."

"It's not like I expected you to know."

"I know , but still."

I nod.

Silence. Again.

Silence. Again.

I know I shouldn't, but I scoot closer to him and lay my head on his chest. I close my eyes and think back to how perfect this day was, and how I cant do this again. Its against all policy. I am here to keep him safe not to fall for him. I'm just going to enjoy what I have left too enjoy because after tomorrow, I'm going to have to end this. All of this.

Zayn's POV:

Her head lays perfectly on my chest, and this feels just... perfect. Like she's meant to be here, with me. I don't want this day to ever end. I look down at her sleeping body, and just think to myself.

"I've gotta keep you."

She shifts a little in her sleep, and I know I should take her home now but I cant bring myself to do that just yet. So I let her rest a bit. While she sleeps I lay here and admire her.
