You & I (Zayn Malik Fan Fic)

Chapter 17

*Ava's POV*

I woke up to find my head on a pillow instead of Zayn's lap. I tried going back to sleep but I couldn't stop wondering where he was.

I sat up on the couch and looked around the living room. I looked at the front door and saw that his shoes weren't there. He must've gone out.

I got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. I saw that there was a note on the fridge door. I picked it up and read it.

Hey baby. I know that if you're reading this you're awake by now and you have realized that I'm not there. Anyways, I'm not going to exactly tell you the reason I'm gone but I can tell you that you're going to be surprised when I come back. Yep. A surprise. I know how much you hate surprises so that's why I can't wait to see your reaction when I get back.

Love ya,
Zayn

I laughed at how cute he was in the note. I can imagine his face whenever he was writing it. The thing I didn't like was that it was a surprise. Why does he do this to me?

*Zayn's POV*

When Ava was sleeping, her parents called to say that they were coming over to visit. Since I was the one that answered the phone and Ava was still sleeping, I planned to surprise her. She hasn't seen her parents since we moved here, which was almost four years now.

I was now driving to the airport to pick up Ava's parents. They didn't know I was surprising her yet so I was telling them when we were all in the car on our way back to the flat.

I walked into the front of the airport and saw them sitting patiently waiting for me. When Mrs. Foster saw me, she got up with her arms wide open.

"Oh Zayn. You have changed so much. It's good to see you." "It's good to see you Mrs. Foster." "Oh sweetie. Just call me Elizabeth. Daniel why don't you come say hi to Zayn."

Ava's dad got off the seat and gave me a serious look. He was never in favor of my relationship with Ava. But he never tried to break us up either.

He gave me a firm and tight handshake that I thought my hand was going to break. "It's good to see you Zayn." "It's good to see you too sir."

I guess Mrs. Foster saw how tight his grip was because she tried to break the tension.

"We should get going. I'm pretty sure Ava can't wait to see us after almost four years."

Shit. I had forgotten to tell them that it was a surprise.

"Actually, since she was sleeping when you called, she doesn't know that you two are here. So I was thinking that maybe we surprise her."

Mrs. Foster clapped her hands in enthusiasm just like Ava.

"Oh that's amazing! Or should I say amazayn?"

I let out a soft chuckle. I had to admit that Mrs. Foster was a fun person. Mr. Foster is a lucky man.

"Ok so we should get going."

I helped Mr. Foster get the luggage while Mrs. Foster walked in front of us. As we walked to the car, Mr. Foster stopped me asking of he could talk to me.

"Hey Zayn. Can I talk to you?" "Yeah sure what about?" "It's about Ava. Look I know you love her and that you will never hurt her. You proved it already by dating her for almost five years. All I'm saying is that if you break her heart, you're going to have to face me. She's my only daughter and only child and I don't want my little girl to be broken. You hear me?" "Yes sir. Now I know that I should've asked you for permission first but I proposed to her already." "Did she say yes?" "Yes and she made me the happiest man on earth. Just don't tell Mrs. Foster. I still want it to be a surprise for her." "You got it boy."

We resumed our walk and found Mrs. Foster anxiously waiting by the car.

"Hurry up you two. I have to go see my daughter."
